    If they have nothing to do with the US, why then do people here have them? I do see them rather frequently.

    There is vito as cargo van with 3 seats
    Vito Mixto with 5-6seat and cargo are
    And vito tourer with 8-9 seats, but 8/9 cant be registered as cargo van.

    Here many companies remove back seats from cars and install some wall inside and they make papers so vehicle become cargo van,with all financial benefits

    Of course, but they were not meant as competition to US cars. Try to find pictures of old Land Cruisers and Land Rovers. Even the name is a kind of copy!

    Not to install, they use them for mobile workshop to bring crew on spot etc.

    They use them for powerlines, tv anntenas on hardly accessible places etc for maintanance repair and during problems caused by storms

    Install or maintenance isn't really that important. The point is that these 4x4 vans can go to places where only an off-road vehicle can go.

    Any of you see that Mercedes pickup truck? Hideous. Probably why they don't plan on marketing it over here.
