There is a reason practically anyone who has a business that needs them to transport stuff drives a van in Belgium, more space, more practical. SUV's are the weapon of choice for the middle class suburban people, and make driving unsafer for every other person on the road. I can see a use case for people working forestry, but that's a very small percentage of the population. And that is the normal SUV kind. Those dumb trucks are unpractical compensation vehicles that are neither built for European roads, parking spaces or gas prices, and the only reason to ever buy one in Europe is being an idiot.
