Cant believe the amount of bleeding hearts moaning about the size of pick up trucks in the UK countryside, I manage both a Ram and and F150 daily around lanes and tracks, guess what, also got one of these little trucks on order for the wife,,,,,

Exactly.

I generally see them in the countryside or driven by people who work in trades. I think the gym stereotypes you refer to are generally drawn to other vehicles these days.

Round here they tend to be the Audi Q2/A3 brigade. Or 1-Series.

I used to have to drive loads of pickup trucks, and I don't think the answer to any of their many dynamic shortcomings was "a twin turbo V6" but I like their thinking

Given how keen even the bog basic fleet spec diesels are to do massive slides out of every junction when unladen this must be an absolute hoot, I assume it has a st hot ESP system to keep them out of hedges, I don't think I've driven anything short of a Morris Minor on ancient crossply tyres that was so keen to slide everywhere.
