Are there trucks in europe

While Ford might not want to cannibalize sales from its popular Ranger in foreign markets, other automakers have no such small pickups whose sales it needs to protect. No surprise, then, that a brisk business has sprung up around importing another full-size pickup luminary to Europe: the Ram Thanks to partnerships with local sales outlets, Dodge and Ram sales grew in Europe by nearly 50 percent in What's it like to import a full-size pickup from its American stronghold to countries where Ram s and Chevy Silverados are more exotic than Ferraris and Lamborghinis?

And why are Europeans so keen on piloting these enormous land barges through some of the world's oldest and narrowest roads? It would be wrong to think that the denizens of Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and other European countries are living in some kind of truckless void.

There are many smaller pickups, and pickup-like SUVs offered for sale in these countries, but these offerings hail from a distinctly more utilitarian side of the spectrum. Forget the leather-lined luxury cruisers found on U.

Attempts to gussy up these midsize models have typically been met with indifference witness the failure of the Mercedes-Benz X-Class.

These smaller trucks occupy an important part of the landscape, but their appeal has traditionally been as commercial workhorses, not daily drivers.

For now, they sell it in Brazil, and we hope that it stays there. Firstly, it looks like a Polo with a bed, and secondly, it does horses on normal fuel.

On a front-wheel drive, 5-speed manual transmission. Some things just look better from a distance. An anime version of a pickup truck, the Hoggar is supposed to be able to cross any obstacle in its path with its crazy suspension and Prowler-like appearance, if the Plymouth Prowler had ever been a truck.

There was a buzz in between that Land Rover was planning a Defender pickup, but it seems plans have been dropped for the same, the reason being the Defender , the longest wheelbase version that comes with an extra roomy cabin and ute.

So there is no need for a pickup and we doubt it would have sold well. The Fiat Fullback is a European truck, named after an American football playing position and is a rebadged Mitsubishi L at heart. Because the US does not take too kindly to midsize trucks and applies a tax on imports, making them unduly expensive, the Fiat Fullback is not going to be sold in the US. Not that we will miss it too much. Notably the Chevy El Camino?

Well, this is not them. What it is is a rudimentary car, the Logan marketed by Dacia in Europe, by Renault elsewhere , being turned into a rudimentary hauler , with slightly a better suspension and ground clearance. It's just that, in the US, we already have better.

And if you love yellow, the steering wheel, as well as other inside accents, are all yellow too. America may have doubled up in laughter. For those who want to drive a pickup but not look Butch, we guess.
