• I want to se a dumbfuck driving with a monster truck in Rome, or in Florence. Our cities were built before cars were a thing, how do you plan on driving one of those monsters here? And most importantly: how do you plan to pay for the gas those things drink?

      how do you plan to pay for the gas those things drink?

      Same way they do in North America. Their kids eat shit from Walmart and take on a massive debt to get any education.

      But what will kill truck sales in EU is simple: North America does not do road safety testing of vehicles. No way could anyone keep a RAM truck on the roads getting tested every 1-2 years.

        What testing are you referring to here? American that does not own a truck but does own cars. Only testing we have to do annually is inspection stickers for emissions and basic functionality.

    Yeah, American cars can barely fit on some town roads, how are these trucks supposed to fit?
