I think the problem is not picups per se, but ridiculously over-sized ones like in the picture. From an European perspective these are completely bonkers and don’t actually have significantly more space or loading capacity than a normal sized pickup that you can buy here.
Despite common attitudes, the situation is exactly the same in North America. I once had an f-150 forced on me by a rental agency and it was extremely inconvenient to drive in the city because of its size. Spent more on gas and could hardly find a place to park it.
Good. There’s not enough space to accommodate these vehicles in Chicago. It shouldn’t be convenient to drive them there. Sorry that that falls on you but it’s necessary for the city to improve from the disastrous conditions that exist today.
Cool! Glad it worked out! I think ideally this is the way cities should work in the US. Ample parking at the fringe and great transit options to enter and move about the city center.
