Why exactly haven't flatbed vans picked up in the US as

Because it looks foreign

Bad offroad capabilities which Americans may or may not need but claim to need on construction sites.

Also muh masculinity, everything's gotta be big and intimidating.

Styleside beds really are a cancer on utility vehicles though.

because it is practical and efficient and that is unamerican, gotta have muh big truck and burn lot's of fuel

most "work trucks" don't need the bed space and the ones that do can easily have flatbed or cargo box conversions done

more ground clearance on american trucks, better off-road capabilities. whether or not that's really needed is up for debate.

i know guys who do field work and construction and drive around in $1k craigslist beaters who are still able to get out to sites no problem. especially in construction they usually use heavy equipment to build some kind of "road" to/from and on the site to make access easier.

but in all honesty OP I agree with your sentiment, eurovans and flatbed eurovans seem unquestionably more practical but we're slow to adopt them here in the US

Oh look another "I can't afford a nice truck so I'll talk out of my ass about them" thread.

I use a truck for word daily. Flat beds aren't efficient because you have to strap everything down. I have a tool box on the back for all my shit. I have a back seat (4 door) to take co-workers to/around job sites. Or load the back seat with my clothes, hard hats, inspection books, extra equipment that can't get wet, computer, etc. The interior is quiet so I'm not mentally exhausted on long commutes to job sites 4 hours away. I have better clearance driving all over yards with shit everywhere. My work truck doesn't cost as much as a mercedes meme mobile. It's better on the highway. It has higher sides on the bed so my fucking ladder doesn't bounce out.

Does no one on this board work a real job? I don't do anything with construction. In fact, today I tested sub sea robots. Trucks are a necessity for a lot of these jobs.

>>17379747
Obviously there's advantages to purchasing a vehicle as depicted by OP, however justifying getting something else is hardly necessary. Company image, comfort, terrain, towing, parts availability would all suffer for the sake of muh mpg and bed dimensions. Some companies will lose more profit by having a cuckbed truck than they could ever save in fuel.

>>17379799
>literally only need a truck for MUH IMAGE

Lmao, burgerclaps are actually this retarded

Keep sucking that corporate dick ameriscum

One, that's not a "flatbed" in american lingo. It has fold-down sides. Our flatbeds are just a big plank over the rear axel.

Two, it's because our trucks are based on the image of the ford model T, which had body panels and a tailgate instead of folding sides. Folding sides are actually useless if your truck is so big that anything too wide for it would require a special permit to carry on public roads.

Because of the grey license loophole.

Basically, if your company buys a truck that'll fit a standard EU-size pallet in the back, they don't have to pay BTW (VAT) and BPM (CO2 purchase tax). On a V8 Mustang for example, those two add up to about 80-90K euros. Since regular cars still have to pay those two taxes, a Ram 1500 or F-150 ends up being cheaper to buy than a new BMW 320. That same truck has two or three times the power, can pull anything your car license will allow, and they're more luxurious and comft than a similarly priced German luxury car.

Also, grey license means you only pay a fraction of road tax - and that fraction isn't dependant on what kind of fuel you use. Normally , you pay extra road tax for a diesel car, and a whole lot extra for LPG. This is offset by diesel fuel being cheaper to buy, and LPG being the cheapest. Now, with a grey license vehicle, you pay about as much road tax as an Aygo, but you can use the cheapest fuel (LPG). Most of these new trucks already come pre-converted from the dealer (most of them done by Prins). My friend's Ram 1500 uses 6.7km/l of fuel, and he rags on it a lot. Factor in the price of LPG though, and he's paying for a vehicle that has a fuel consumption of more than 15km/l.

Bottom line, new pickup trucks here are cheap to buy, cheap to run, and will do anything you need.

You don't have to strap anything down in the back of a flatbed you wouldn't need to in a pickup, you just have more space and better access.

How did I miss this thread? Own a Suzuki Carry, its better off-road then you'd think, certainly enough for most forestry roads and muddy paddocks. Best possible hunting ute imo, if the terrains to rough for it, then its probably quicker walking anyway.

Every day I see multiple coworkers leave the building, climb into their obviously financed, jacked up, 6k lb pickup trucks, and it kind of disgusts me. All that shit just to move one person around, and not even exceptionally fast or anything.

They live in suburb houses/apartments, and work IT, but have muh big trucks for all the big truck things they do, like commuting to work and dropping off kids at school.

It's a total image thing, since most families would do just fine with a sedan/crossover, but hey gotta drive that big ol truck for the one time that you're gonna haul johnny's bicycle home from the store.

I think my issue lies more in the fact they they're buying trucks to appease some manufactured sense of manhood, rather than they actually appreciate the vehicle for what it is.

Also, it's just my opinion. Nowhere did I say or imply that they should not be able to do so, just that I think it's disgusting.

I agree. However my opinion is that we should support their right to drive what they want to drive.

>>17381231
From what I've seen with people buying jeeps:

It's usually at least partially due to image. Jeep has worked hard to build that image of a outdoorsy, fun person, always looking for an adventure. Everyone considers themselves to be "adventurous" and "spontaneous", nobody (except those of us who struggle with depression and image issues) says "yeah, I'm a boring average Joe that commutes to work and the grocery store".

There's also often a perceived need for them, especially around here in CO. People freak out about the snow and are willing to blow stupid amounts of money on a 4x4 vehicle, when in reality they should just spend a few hundred and get a set of wheels with good snow tires.

Also, they really are the best offroading car. Solid front and rear axle, decently powerful engines, space for massive tires, locking diffs, etc. Most of them probably won't see anything beyond a grass parking lot, though.

>>17381288
I support your right to drive whatever you want, but I also support the right to say whatever I want about what you drive.
If they're insecure about it, that's their problem.

Technically yes, but the matter of discussion is the execution of it. The first half of the argument is that van based flatbed trucks offer both a larger and a more uninterrupted and accessible load surface than dedicated pickup truck platforms. The second half of the argument is that the offroad capability offered by pickup trucks isn't actually needed in most cases, and that in part they sell on image alone.

I think it's because the large consumer demand for pickups in the US has driven prices down. Nothing else can compete at the same levels of performance, upfront value, maintenance costs, and dealer network size. You can get a transit connect for $24k or a F150 for $25k. Transit cutaway starts at $29k, without a bed. Kind of a no brainer.

Huntingfag + Suzuki Carry fag here, you'd be surprised what they can do. They don't have anywhere near the grunt as a ute, but the ramp off angles are fucking unmatched (because the wheels are so close to the edge), the clearance is horrible though. I'd say my carry is on par with a Jimny, useless for mud but if it's a fairly dry road that doesn't have any steps then the Carry will handle it no problem. Definitely enough for 99% of roads leading up to sites.

Yes, I've seen a pizza car once or twice last year.
Both were company cars.

>>17380092
Mercedes produces vans, trucks and even busses are common.
More Volkswagen than VW actually

>>17381903
Even pizza deliveries have their own cars. You'd have to get different insurance if you were to use your private car commercially, and it's just expensive and too much of a hassle and far easier to just register a small company car for the pizza delivery.

You could tow a digger if you wanted to, but if you had that much more to dig you'd probably use a bigger truck to begin with.

Small diggers have their purposes, such as trenching for cables on tight private properties.

Every fucking time some euro says "hurr we don't need trucks to tow 5k lbs I'll just put a hitch on my 70hp diesel". For somewhere as safety cucked as Europe I'm surprised you people pull off retarded shit like that.

>>17382283
Except that we don't tow 5k lbs with 70hp diesels, but when do you tow 5k anyway? My 90hp diesel is rated for 2900 lbs towing, which to my knowledge is still far more than any compact passenger car in the US is rated for because you morons can't be trusted with towing stuff with smaller vehicles after getting your drivers license out of a vending machine. Tow vehicles in the US need to be oversized to make them idiot proof.

Every weekend when we go camping/dirt biking? Sorry you're not allowed to do these things.

Hmm let me guess... Just because you got trailer brakes that means your 70hp diesel shitbox can safely handle 5k lbs? Good luck merging onto a 8 lane highway with speeds approaching 90mph...

You people just don't understand the scale of things here.

>>17382318

Nice. I'm around 6ft and fairly thin, so it sounds like I'll fit just fine then. There are local importers that I might go to in order to see exactly how I fit in them and how they drive, though I'll probably just import one from japan when it comes time to purchase one.

>>17382332

So does 80% of the autobahn and all your precious "b roads" are littered with millions of speed cameras. And what's the fucking point of no speed limits when you can barely afford 50hp diesels that can't even break 100mph?

I've always wondered this, they originate from islands with fuck all food. Is it just ingrained in them to eat everything they can so they don't starve when they don't catch a fish for 2 weeks?

>>17382418
It's entirely realistic for an ethnicity that's lived on fish and veggies for millennia to be unable to adapt to meat, bread or potatoes so easily. When westerners are fat on the other hand it's because they have no self-restraint, and in the case of North America because every single food item is stuffed with corn syrup.

>>17382424
It's pretty hard to get exercise on a tiny island and most are pretty plentiful with resources. It's not like they have to run 50 miles for food like African tribes people.

Restricting your eating to lose weight is retarded and basically a marketing scheme to rip off people too lazy to work out with health food products. You can eat basically anything you want if you have enough physical exercise (unless it's made of 80% corn syrup). Physical exercise is far more important.
