I don’t want US trucks on our roads. Keep them in the US! No one needs a vehicle to transport a flock of sheep through downtown. Our cities are small, our roads are narrow. You can use it in your country where you have roads in town like highways here.

Ireland has entered the chat.
Although they would (and do) use an appropriately-sized vehicle for such purposes
good. Keep them in US, we don’t need them
It’s simple: they aren’t safe. They are a high danger to pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.
They should require a special license and a legitimate need. No pavement princesses allowed.
I’m confused how they don’t already? More than 3500kg gross weight capacity is no longer a class B “car” but a class C/C1 “truck” and require a C1 license
those trucks should be banned on US roads. What’s worse, most of them are just glorified grocery getters.
Most of the Dodge Rams just exist to drive under the influence.
My father in law has one. And yes, all the stereotypes are confirmed. You’d think it has an ignition interlock device programmed in reverse, requiring a minimum blood alcohol level to operate. I keep waiting for him to get DUI’d.
They can’t even sell what is a normal-sized pickup truck for the US in Europe. Because there simply isn’t any demand beyond that of a handful of people with severe psychological deficits they try to compensate for.
Good, these need to be blocked
If true, good.
I don’t mind these stupid trucks coming over here, as long as you need a C-license to drive one and if they are limited to 90km/h.
Also, cities have special parking enforcement vehicles that will slice the truck to fit into a parking space at the owners expense.
At least over here theres laws about having your vehicle inside the parking space. If its over the lines, you get a fine. Just need to enforce that, double the fines and the morons who buy these stupid things will finance our cities out of financial problems.
Who cares. They should be blocked.
We have already too big cars here in Europe…
Yeah, I’m accusing EU of not banning big pickup trucks & giant SUVs enough.
. “As demand grows for certain vehicle types not commonly found in the EU, such as large pickup trucks”
There is no growth in demand. They sold 7,000, there were 13 million total car sales in 2025 in the EU. US SUV and large pickup truck sales were barely a rounding error.
They’re dangerous and environmentally wasteful.
…and?
Their country. Their rules.
Yeah, historically USA didn’t take kindly to that notion.
I see some Ford Ranger Raptors (are they really called that? what a stupid name) in Germany. Those are probably the largest trucks on the road here and they are already way too big for cities, don’t fit into any parking spots and so on. Nobody here needs an even larger F-150.
I’m fucking furious that the tankstation owner appears to have a dodge ram that I have to look at every time I head out of the city northbound.
I regularly fantasise about coating it in paintstripper, but a supersoaker would dissolve too fast.
Either that or finding a bunch of dutch language books about insecurity to leave on the windscreen.
The infrastructure was there two thousand years before we’re not destroying that for a monster truck based wasteland.
Thank you, EU
