    They’re very common in my country. Most taxis are Toyota pickup trucks. They are great on dirt roads and you can fit a lot of people, animals, and groceries in the back.

    It’s also great for bicycles.

          As someone from the USA, specifically in Texas, it’s hilarious to watch people lose their minds when you tell them Mexicans or Brazilians are Americans as well.

          It’s like some people don’t understand geography.

            Hey, we have a government program in the US that pays people to learn geography. All you have to do is hold guns on world heritage sites (a friend of mine once had to secure ziggurats)

            Or you pretend to not understand the (localish on a continental level) language you’re speaking. I’m not from the states, don’t call me an American, if we’re speaking English. Portugese or Spanish, yeah, it depends, but mostly on who’s saying it.

      What country? Here in the US cyclists rarely drive pickups, we’re more likely to drive a subcompact hatchback or SUV and either throw it in the back or get a rack

        ? Naw man, half of them have those toyota pickups with that endgate blanket with the big white star to keep the front assembly from scratching the paint.
