Pickup truck query

No idea if this has been broached on here before, but here goes, regardless. In the UK we can have panel vans, Sprinters and the like that appear to be as long a small coach, and probably as much of a nightmare to park anywhere. So we can have lengthy, small commercials. Why then, do we only see once in a blue moon an older extra / king cab pickup, when what we should have is double cab trucks with full load beds; like the yank trucks. Any ideas why, i can't think of too many rational arguments against producing trucks that are fit for the purpose a lot of us need- room for passengers, tools dogs and god knows what. But with a proper buck...?

Imagine what a pain in the arse it would be to park also.  Most pick up owners use them for recreational as well as business. Our car parks just aren’t built to handle vehicles that size unlike America 

Fair comment Steve - LWB vans are obviously not easy to park either but the difference being not so many blokes with a van being their only vehicle. I'd still stick with my view here though that another 2 foot or so of load space would make the hassle worthwhile for a lot of us
