Would anyone even want to buy them in those markets?

Judging by the increase in F150 trucks on European roads.. yes.

They are not officially sold here but there are ways to import them legally and "affordably".
There is a subset of the population that will import these cars regardless of whether they are suitable for the environment.

Interesting. Have you seen a F250 or an F350?

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

To my knowledge those are not road legal, since they are too large/heavy to be driven with a regular driver's licence
The F150 is just shy of the maximum allowed size/weight-limit
