If only this were the problem here...I temporarily live in a small town in the American South and the mega-pickup truck thing is the most childish thing I have

  Sadly a problem here too. I'm very surprised how many Dodge Rams there are here, including this 3500 dually https://www.reddit.com/r/kutautos/comments/1ag97lf/english_sorry_who_needs_a_ram_3500_dually_right/ https://www.reddit.com/r/kutautos/comments/1ag97lf/english_s...

    I live in an area where streets like this are commonplace: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@-41.282617,174.7614182,3a,75y,185.2h,81.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0VpJ4uI9dvcmYqjFQDElyA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@-41.282617,174.7614182,3a,75y... Note that this is not some side street - it's a busy two-way thoroughfare. Despite this we are being inundated by larger and larger vehicles. It used to be that Dodge Rams and such were a novelty that had to be imported privately. Now they are common at the city's car dealerships. I refuse to believe that people are buying these for their 'practicality'.

      In the Netherlands they're getting pretty common. In theory the taxes make them expensive to own but in reality they're always registered as businesses vehicles (the reg starts with a V) and they pay less tax than a Honda civic. You're only supposed to do 500 km or less of personal driving a year but the rule is ignored.
