Sadly, we cannot really ban them as they are utility vehicles that a small portion of the population needs. However, I still see freakin’ ads that frame them as fancy cars.
“The new Amarok V6. Pick-up truck for every day. Powerful and comfortable”
I suggest making it illegal to have them in any color other than matte excavator yellow (for construction) or green camo (for hunting and forestry).

Lmao at the color limits. I’m 100% sure that would get people not to buy them hahaha that’s genius
In the US, the camo option would only make them cooler to the kind of people you really don’t want behind the wheel of them.
Camo trucks already exist.
That being said, this idea is largely a joke, and I don’t mind @Waker@lemmy.world being sarcastic about it.
Ah crap you’re right… I didn’t account for the American factor.
One other measure that could easily be taken is to ban advertising for these.
There are smaller trucks with the exact same bed size though. Like how the hell do people think European trades people haul stuff?
Ummm… vans of all sizes are way more common than flatbed trucks here.
Or those small isuzu trucks. When the load is too awkward for a van.
Deer can’t see orange, so one colour fits all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m ok with them being all orange instead of fucking blacked out.
