This is entirely accurate, but there's a legion of "real" pickup trucks roaming North American roads that exist no less for show than the Tesla. At this point, they're probably the vast majority.

In the EU no one would think twice about towing the aforementioned big bike with a cheap trailer attached to a Honda Civic. Coming from someone who's towed a lot of bikes, it's an arrangement that makes more sense than an American pickup on several levels.
