Ooof! At todays ppg its only about $170 (Texas). I guess that's why one doesn't see to many crew cab 'lorries' over there?

You need some edjumacating. Pick-ups aren't lorries in the UK. They're pick-up trucks.

This is a lorry:



And, just for fun, the word lorry came in from an older form of English meaning 'to pull' and was first applied to 'trucks' on the railway. As more trucks took to the road rather than rail and each truck was independent, 'lorry' came to refer to those things 'pulled' by its own engine in front.
