Yupp. I live in a cute little farm town in the Midwest and none of the newer trucks people drive around fit anywhere in town. Old Rangers and Dakotas from the 80's and 90's are still puttering around and do alright, but the lifted 2500s and F150s you see around town barely even fit in the parking lots downtown, and there is no chance of parallel parking them. Americans do it because it's all we know, but only morons are going to put up with the hassel of owning the expensive junk piles American trucks have become in Europe
