As someone else pointed out already, yes, there are people who need a truck. They don't need an oversized death machine. There is little to no reason for a truck to have that much bulk, the bulk doesn't add power.
However, most "need a truck" is either shit that could be done in much less vehicle, or done so infrequently that it makes 0 sense to OWN said truck. I sometimes need a truck... so far thrice in my life. I rented said truck. My wagon covers almost all of my hauling needs, rental covers the few outliers.
I bet my wagon could do half these people's "tow stuff"
I haul stuff sometimes... So I got an older AWD wagon. Fantastic visibility, could haul more than I need, decent MPG. I do not understand these cars getting bigger and bigger. The newer version of my Outback is a monstrosity as well. I'm pretty sure I'll be driving cars 2010 and older till I can't get them anymore.
