The situation in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 is out of control. A driver killed a one-year-old girl in Calgary. A few hours later, another driver killed a nine-year-old girl near Edmonton.

    ram other pickups

    that’s literally about it

    SUVs/pickups are occasionally required for tossing stuff in the back to move it, like garbage/belongings/etc

      Pickup trucks are not required for tossing stuff in the back. Because Europeans do need to transport stuff, from piles if dirt to wooden kitchens which need to be installed. And all of it most often doesnt happen with a pickup truck.

      Mercedes Sprinter Vans

      Or this kind of car for loading open air (“Pritschenwagen” in german)

      All with normal grill-hight and probably a lower truckbed than pickup trucks

          There are several images but I think I know what you mean. Those are common for smaller gardeners in Switzerland.

        Or just a trailer. A lot of germans have something like this in their garage and use it only when needed instead of driving around with an integrated trailer all the time as people with a pickup do.
