Do Australians drive pick-ups like Americans and Canadians?
In Europe we don't, because our roads and parking places are too small and it's not in our culture. It's also too expensive for our budget.

Australians love yutes.
James Myers
Smaller ones than the F-150, but yeah, they're popular with tradesmen.
The most popular ones

don't speak on behalf of entire europe
although they aren't the most popular vehicle type, I usually spot a few pick ups on the road and they are kind of cool
I see even more of them if I go to the countryside.
Nathaniel Jones
The sedan-based utes like the Holden Ute have become pretty niche these days. Probably because they're not cheap and not as useful as proper pick-up trucks. Fun to drive though.
Justin Ramirez
It's a beautiful car.
Mason Thompson
The big 4wd ones getting popular here as family cars and have pretty much replaced station wagons at hauling around 2.5 kids and a dog. Proper utes are a dying breed.
Starting to see more of those huge American pickups, but I've never seen one being used to actually move shit. I figure they're being bought by the kind of person who used to buy something like the OP pic but needs something bigger now to offset his inferiority complex.
Jose Adams
>needs something bigger now to offset his inferiority complex
Big trucks are simply more comfortable and safe. There's nothing wrong to own one even if you don't need to haul anything on a daily basis.
Easton Bennett
>Hilux
Based pick ups, popular here in Borneo.
Luis Wright
Those dodge rams and the like cost $130,000+ here.
They aren't more comfortable or safer than a Mercedes S Class.
Evan Morris
big trucks are not great for fuel economy, if you want to keep fuel cost down. And some other costs are higher as well, compared to smaller vehicles.
Michael Jackson
>Those dodge rams and the like cost $130,000+ here.
Why tho
Nolan King
>Mercedes S Class
But the new S350d costs twice more. I don't know about Dodge, but Toyota trucks are pretty comfortable for that price.
Obviously you don't buy a truck for a fuel economy, you have to pay more for more comfort, safety and practicality.

Because retards will pay it.
Hudson Baker
if it's australian that's only 100k
I think Australia has big import taxes on cars not made there
If it's something like a f-350 then it would be more expensive, and if you buy one for no real reason you get the fully loaded one too
Luke Flores
An overpriced shithole?
Kevin Clark
How do you haul things around without a pickup?
You could do with an SUV for a while, but they're not designed to drag a load behind them for long periods of time.
Isaiah Ortiz
>How do you haul things around without a pickup?
They don't. The Euros who do haul things around already have trucks and they wouldn't be posting about it
Cooper Cruz
We don't haul big things or we pay a professional to haul them for us with his van.
Daniel Thomas
OK the s class was a bit of an exaggeration but you can get a 4 year old S500 for cheaper
carsales.mobi
Or a fucking top of the line commodore for $60k that's better in every way than the truck if you're not hauling shit.
Nathan Russell
Do Russians drive American sized trucks? You seem like one of the few countries that is sized appropriately for them

Try dragging around a fishing boat a day out of the week for a year or two and watch it break down.
Oliver Harris
from all of the dashcams I've seen they don't
more expensive, and weight distribution makes them shitty in snow
Ayden Morales
>Try dragging around a fishing boat a day out of the week for a year or two and watch it break down.
Who do you know that was stupid enough to do this
Wyatt White
a broke nigga without a pickup
Jonathan Taylor
Everyone here has a fucking 4WD despite going camping or offroad twice a year
Julian Ortiz
>a 4 year old S500 for cheaper
You can't really compare a 4 year old S class to a new vehicle.
We're closer in our automobile culture to you than the rest of Europeans. More than a half of new cars are sold with automatic, SUV are very popular. We love big cars, but the most popular are Toyota Land Cruiser, BMW X5/X6, MB GL/ML/GLE, Audi Q7, Kia Sorento, Hyundai SantaFe. American trucks such as F-series, Ram, Silverado aren't common, though I see them on the road from time to time.
Joseph Powell
We have a boat but we don't take it in and out of the water every week. We put it in the ocean in spring, and out of the water in autumn. We let it stay by the docks.
We have a small plastic boat that we can put in a trailer and take to fresh water lakes. But we don't do that every single week of the year.
Cooper Campbell
Everyone buys a 4x4 SUV as soon as he can afford it. Pickup trucks aren't that popular, it's true, but "the bigger the car the better" is true for most Russians.
Matthew Gomez
From what I've seen they all drive commie ladas
Austin Howard
>You can't really compare a 4 year old S class to a new vehicle.
Why not let some other sucker take the $200,000 depreciation hit?
Plus the merc comes with a 2 year factory warrenty. The Dodge only comes with a 3 year warranty from the importer and lol at aftermarket warranties.

Thanks for answering senpai

People either have utility vehicle or they rent it from the store.
Or they just stuff their shit up in their cars

First thing i noticed after i landed in Toronto, EVERYBODY drives huge cars, and everything is just huge there. National flags for example are everywhere and they are huge, 5-6 six times larger than any Croatian flag you'll see in Croatia on public place .
Ryder Lee
Man I wish our roads were wider.
America should rejoice over its blessing.
Jack Cruz
>It's also too expensive for our budget.
There are cheap models, and a lot of people here drive SUVs which are just as expensive.
It's not the cost.
Joseph Wood
A Qashqai costs 35,000€. It's not cheap.
