Good. They’re fuel-inefficient, low visibility murder machines that do not belong in Europe, where city roads and parking spaces tend to be narrower. Not once in the last few years have I seen a pickup truck bed in use. Average number of occupants: one, male. And it’s always the same kind of person. Like with cybertruck owners, there’s an air of overcompensation. Where they’re not compensating, unfortunately: road taxes, where they’re taxed as a non-commercial vehicle, despite polluting and weighing as much as a small van, while being driven by some of the least road safety conscious, tailgating assholes I’ve encountered.

(/rant. Pickup trucks have a purpose, such as in low density rural areas. That’s not the case in Belgium, for instance. Either you need a van because it’s for work, or you rent a lightweight van on the few occasions you actually need to transport a lot of stuff.)
