Refer to the pic for the answer. They park on sidewalks, occupy multiple parking spots, and stick out onto the street. This size of cars needs to be banned inside cities before it’s too late.
Really depends on where you are. I mean, we have actual trucks, not pick up trucks, but like those box trucks that deliver goods to shops and such. They drive around in cities no problem. Of course, some early medieval town in Germany or Italy is a different thing, but those are more a exception than the rule. You got to remember, Europe was bombed quite badly during the war and then in the 1970s there was a big obsession about building infrastructure for cars. That has been slowly reversed back to more pedestrian friendly cities, but still, they are not built in a way that prevents larger vehicles to use the streets.
The main reason for the lack of american style pick up trucks here is tax and fuel costs. People who need a pick up truck would rather drive around in a 2.4 diesel Toyota Hilux, than a 28 litre V8 motor Dodge RAM. Most of the people driving with Yank Trucks are people who fantasize about being a good ol’ boy from Texas, while not having traveled more than 25 kilometers outside of their home town of Kauhajoki.
It has the feel of it. Unusual cultural mixes and the weird AI shine. Weird details that make no sense. Unusual geometry everywhere. The image is crowded the way AI images are. The shadows are particularly bad and non-existent in some places. The curb kind of shifts elevation without any raised sidewalk or ramp.
Though the most glaring is the text on the license plates.
Oh my fucking god…no, it’s real, there is nothing wrong with the image and the text is just because of the low res, it’s not giberrish or strange and the font def match with the ones on the european plates;
Also, this is a real place called Kraków
I could debunk all you said but it’s not worth my time, long story short: learn to look at the images better and maybe get out to see how the world looks like
Where is this? Are there American style trucks in Europe now?
Looks like poland. I can confirm there are a bunch of these ridiculous pickups here nowadays.
Trying to imagine getting around European cities in one of these things. Where would you even park?
On the sidewalk obviously.

Here in America they kill many pedestrians
Like this. Or in the bike lane.
Assholes in Europe imitate those in the US closely.

Pickup trucks are useful and common in rural areas in Europe. However they are usually half the size of these bloated egomobiles.
They’ve been here for a few decades now, they’re just such a niche vehicle that you don’t see them often.
It’s not a real picture. This is definitely AI.Can you point out the identifiers for that because I’m not seeing any.

Alright. I was clearly mistaken. I take it back. Sorry for doubting you.
Sorry for being rude btw
Eh. Fair criticism.
