    I see your point. If you need to regularly haul stuff, a van is usually a better choice for the average person but I’m skeptical that construction workers, farmers and small moving companies in Europe don’t use trucks.

      Construction workers, farmers etc will use a van or a flatbed version of a van over here:

      Or if they need heavier loads, actual flatbed trucks:

      Here in the UK, builders & farmers use flatbeds and movers use box trucks - exclusively working vehicles. Pickups are not practical for most jobs.
