Larger SUVs do exist on the UK market, but they really aren't very popular because they're very inconvenient on our narrow roads and prohibitively expensive for most people. To my knowledge, the biggest passenger cars on the UK market are the Range Rover and the Hyundai Santa Fe, which I believe would be classed as mid-size SUVs on the US market. If you were to import something like an Escalade or a Navigator, you'd attract an awful lot of attention but you'd struggle to park it anywhere.

- jdietrich 3y agoThere are a grand total of 192 Ford F150s currently registered in the UK, a substantial proportion of which aren't actually registered for road use. Mid-size pickups like the Ford Ranger, the Volkswagen Amarok and the Mistubishi L200 are significantly more common; these vehicles stand out as huge in a UK context, but aren't particularly big by American standards.
