(on why Europeans seldom buy pickup trucks)
A big pickup truck in Europe is very expensive to insure, very expensive to run (esp. on gas), and impossible to park anywhere; the whole infrastructure is based on car size.
Also it rains quite often around here.
The typical European farmer has a small van rather than a pickup truck, or maybe a Land Rover, Suzuki Vitara etc. along with special farm equipment.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
