They haven't discovered the wonders of the pickup truck yet, but they do have a proper appreciation for good hunting dogs and good beer!

There were plenty of farmers with the flatbed equivalent and the Volkswagen van with an open rear, sort of an analogue to the Japanese Toyota and Datsun mini-pickups. And there are more than a few surplussed-off Bundeswehr Unimog 404 trucks and Austrian Pinzgauers running around, even a few old USAF base pickup trucks. They're getting there.

That's good! I haven't been there since the late 60s, best you could hope for then was a stake-body diesel or (best of all!) a wagon with rubber tires drawn by two sturdy Haflingers.
