IIRC an American truck might be actually the cheaper way for an European to own something V8-powered due to lower taxes.

Legislation is eating away at the "passenger-trucks' " benefits though.
Since a lot of people have resorted to those as a way to pay fewer taxes, it's quite predictable that legislators would try to put an end to that.

Trailer ... even less restrictions
I'm sure trying to park a trailer in a congested city center is not any better than using a small van. The main advantage I see in a trailer is that it's more cost-effective to haul some stuff such as chemicals that could damage the vehicle or become a nuisance to the passengers.
