Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

That’s not an SUV… But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that’s pretty rude…
Ah my bad, in Europe we don’t see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?
Emotional Support Vehicle
Yes that’s a pickup truck.
An abomination against god?
It’s a pickup truck. And probably not used for anything a truck would be used for. They’re everywhere in America and just as annoying.
I personally don’t see the point in having a vehicle this big unless it’s used for work (hauling materials and towing trailers) And 95% of the time, it’s not.
I wish the small commuter truck would come back but it’s a fools dream
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is the closest we have, and they’ve been selling pretty well
Me like. I hope I can get my hands on one of these someday.
You and me both. I had a 97 Dodge Dakota Sport, which is barely bigger than my CUV. I miss that thing. I hauler a fridge in it once to help my friend out. Haven’t had a need to haul a fridge since, but still, never know when a truck bed will come in handy lol. I just hate that the smallest size now is enormous. Even “sport” models are what used to be standard size anymore.
Sport/compact trucks these days seem like they’re really the same size, just with rounded off styling so you get less useful space
I have a 2015 Tacoma, which I love. But I would much rather an ‘84 Toyota pickup.
My deep dream is a revival of the El Camino but with current or next gen electric motors. Small with a bed for hauling larger items without the issue of fuel efficiency
It’s a pickup truck. Often drive by assholes who like them but don’t need them
Oftentypically
“Pickup truck”
Yup. If it’s got a bed in the back for transporting stuff, it’s a truck. In this case, a short-box truck.
An SUV is basically like a tall 4-door sedan with hinged doors a hatch-back (if the rear doors are sliding, then it’s a van/mini-van)
So an El Camino is a truck?
An El Camino is a chariot of the gods. It transcends common labels.
Sorta.
The Chevrolet El Camino was a car-based light truck that Chevrolet offered from 1959–'60 and 1964–1987
It was also a train, according to Wikipedia :-)
Lol… I had to ask my gen z kid if he knew what they were… He didn’t so I showed him… Then I asked him, “car or truck”… He says car so that’s the answer from the future of America… 😂
LoL. Still to be fair from the front they very much look like a car and the chassis is probably more car than truck. It’s one of those weird in-between things but I suppose it is still better at carrying a load of whatever than a standard sedan.
For sure… Made for a funny discussion all around in my opinion though.
Also begs the question, what’s a Subaru brat or Baja then?
As the owner of a Subaru Baja, I call it an Ute. The short bed is useful to a point (hauling tanks of flammable fuel, etc) but not perfect.
If it’s not a body on frame vehicle, I wouldn’t call it a truck.
That is a truck or pickup truck or pickup.
SUV does not have a flat bed for cargo.
I’d call it worthless. I could fit more in my prius than the bed of that truck.
A pickup truck where I’m from.
I mean the truck bed is like 3 feet long, you can’t do anything with it, it’s never been off-road, and it has two full size rows of seats. It’s an SUV in denial.
Emotional support vehicle
I call them SUTs if the bed is shorter than the cab.
Yeah but SUVs go off road. Most “SUV’s” on the road these days are just lifted hatch backs

You might want to read that again. It was clearly a joke.
That’s not an SUV, it’s a pickup truck.
The parking is almost as infuriating as OPs title.
Oh, in that case I guess this is fine.
Bed is shorter than the cab, it’s an SUT.
How about a Sporty Lifestyle Utility Truck?
I thought it was commentary about how both SUVs and pickup trucks are both classified as light trucks, and aren’t required by law to have certain features that come standard in regular cars.
No, it’s a ute
My understanding is that utes are generally unibodies, but that truck definitely has a frame. Based off the wheels and bed cover, it’s a useless truck driven by a dickhead, but a truck just the same.
Key across the back has the same effect
I’d love to do that but anything could be on camera these days.
See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.
Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.
My non-crippled ass would possibly also have some issues. I might trip with my keys in my hand or something worse. Who’s to know what dangers parking like this could pose.
It sounds like you care a lot.
Care about how this a-hole blocks the sidewalk? Yes!
Care about accidential scratches or dents when walking around that pickup? No!
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that you can call to get vehicles towed if they are blocking the sidewalk. I don’t know if that’s in every municipality, but I suspect the tow companies and the city would not mind the revenue.

It might as well be a hatchback towing a box of dildos for all the times that tiny truck bed will be used for anything that looks like work.
As the owner of a Ford Maverick, with an even smaller bed, you’d be surprised how often I’ve used it to haul bulky things that wouldn’t fit in an enclosed SUV. It’s definitely capable of plenty of “work.”
That being said, whomever did that parking job deserves all the keying they will be getting.
With those rims and tires, and in that location, I can assure you that thing isn’t for work.
I love it whenever you see a giant truck with low profile tires.
And the roof tent with frame, oh shit ramps, gas and water cans…
Going to Circle K and back.
Buy a truck for truck things and a car for car things. When they try to do both like that, they do neither well. I keep a truck and a car. I wouldn’t buy a truck without a full size bed, otherwise it’s not a truck. I don’t know what that thing is, but it’s not a truck.
That’s not a knife
There is no SUV in this picture.
That’s not an SUV that’s a trucklet
So much of that in England. I get people don’t want to block the road, but when you are sitting on the entire footpath so nobody can get passed. You’re an asshole.
I was so cross when a van didn’t bother to park just a few metres away in a designated parking spot to go to the corner shop and just decided to sit and block the entire pavement at a point to close to a hedge that meant we were forced to go out into the road.
Laziness. Just laziness.
Would be a shame if someone would squeeze between the trunk amd the wall…while not caring about any metal piece sticking out
Let me just squeeze on by ya with this shopping cart lined with steel wool. Sorry, pedestrians aren’t allowed on the road!
While trucks are complete nonsense to have for 9/10 owners, sometimes it’s choosing between two evils. Either park it like this, or have it stick out this far at the front, blocking traffic flow.
Instead of being infuriated by the way it’s parked, we should be just because it’s a truck that Is useless to have, especially in the Netherlands.
I mean, the answer is “Your vehicle is too large to park here.” It’s one of the reasons I drive a smaller car, parking is a bitch where I’m from and I’d hate passing up spots because I can’t fit.
Then buy a smaller truck??? Why the fuck does anyone need a car that massive
In my country it’s actually illegal to do this. Law states that wherever you are parking you have to make sure there are 1.8m left for the pedestrians.
Blocking sidewalks anywhere is a shitty move. If you can’t park without blocking the sidewalk, you shouldn’t park there. This includes your own driveway
Where is the SUV though?
The bed is too small to be an effective truck I’d say, def an SUV lolol.
trucklet
Main character syndrome
Good luck to anyone in a wheelchair.
