A jetta would barely fit into my garage. If a "regular" pickup can swallow a jetta does that mean I can expect a "large" pickup to be bigger than my entire 5 bedroom house?

I dunno, what do you think?

That's a large pickup: F-450

Here's another shot of the F-450:

I see a good number of F350 or larger trucks used to tow a bunch of other cars around.

That's a bit misleading though, since above F350 isn't really considered "consumer" level but commercial work trucks.

If you want a big truck while still technically being a pickup, you might as well go for the F750:

That said, I wish the US had a better selection of small cars. They're either absolute bottom of the line crap or extremely expensive sports cars, there's no mid range small coupe anymore.

Wow. I've never seen anything that size on the roads here.
