You barely see trucks here, compared to how popular they are in the US. Looking up a "best selling trucks in EU" would very much give you a skewed perception.
Now you're just reminding me how much Ford massacred my boy... Ford Rangers used to be the stripped down compact pickup actually useful as a light truck, and now it's just another oversized behemoth...
The Maverick should be the new version of that... if it actually offered any practical options!
Yup, whenever I see one here (in Germany) I wonder why not go the Full Size Pickup way? I mean the modern Rangers are as tall as my RAM 1500 anyway and only a little narrower. But narrow enough to make them look awkward. It's like only 20cm I would guess.
I also wonder why no manufacturer brings a full size pickup model to the Euro market. At this point mid sized trucks aren't that much smaller and me daily driving an imported RAM 1500 I can say that German cities/roads aren't too small for full size pickups. (DHL Delivery vans are larger yet still fit everywhere).
Oh and the really cool mid sized trucks aren't here either. (I'd kill for a TRD Tacoma).
