good. Keep them in US, we don’t need them
those trucks should be banned on US roads. What’s worse, most of them are just glorified grocery getters.
Most of the Dodge Rams just exist to drive under the influence.
My father in law has one. And yes, all the stereotypes are confirmed. You’d think it has an ignition interlock device programmed in reverse, requiring a minimum blood alcohol level to operate. I keep waiting for him to get DUI’d.
If true, good.
I don’t mind these stupid trucks coming over here, as long as you need a C-license to drive one and if they are limited to 90km/h.
Also, cities have special parking enforcement vehicles that will slice the truck to fit into a parking space at the owners expense.
At least over here theres laws about having your vehicle inside the parking space. If its over the lines, you get a fine. Just need to enforce that, double the fines and the morons who buy these stupid things will finance our cities out of financial problems.
They can’t even sell what is a normal-sized pickup truck for the US in Europe. Because there simply isn’t any demand beyond that of a handful of people with severe psychological deficits they try to compensate for.
We have already too big cars here in Europe…
Yeah, I’m accusing EU of not banning big pickup trucks & giant SUVs enough.
It’s simple: they aren’t safe. They are a high danger to pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.
They should require a special license and a legitimate need. No pavement princesses allowed.
I’m confused how they don’t already? More than 3500kg gross weight capacity is no longer a class B “car” but a class C/C1 “truck” and require a C1 license
They’re dangerous and environmentally wasteful.
I see some Ford Ranger Raptors (are they really called that? what a stupid name) in Germany. Those are probably the largest trucks on the road here and they are already way too big for cities, don’t fit into any parking spots and so on. Nobody here needs an even larger F-150.
I’m fucking furious that the tankstation owner appears to have a dodge ram that I have to look at every time I head out of the city northbound.
I regularly fantasise about coating it in paintstripper, but a supersoaker would dissolve too fast.
Either that or finding a bunch of dutch language books about insecurity to leave on the windscreen.
Who cares. They should be blocked.
. “As demand grows for certain vehicle types not commonly found in the EU, such as large pickup trucks”
There is no growth in demand. They sold 7,000, there were 13 million total car sales in 2025 in the EU. US SUV and large pickup truck sales were barely a rounding error.
…and?
Their country. Their rules.
Yeah, historically USA didn’t take kindly to that notion.
Thank you, EU
The infrastructure was there two thousand years before we’re not destroying that for a monster truck based wasteland.
Guilty as charged. What of it?
I’m from the US, fuck US carmakers and these stupid ugly monstrosities. Go live out your lame ass monster truck fantasies in a fucking video game or something.
