I think the basic concept around truck ownership is as true now as it always has been: A truck can do everything a car can, but a car can't do everything that a truck does (at least not as easily or conveniently). Most people who buy trucks or similarly large vehicles with copious storage space do so because they think they might someday need to do one of those things.

A truck cannot go under very short tunnels, under low & thick tree branches, etc... Each vehicle has its tradeoffs. With that being said personally i prefer a larger vehicle because its easier to get in/out of, sitting higher lets me see further, lots of other tall vehicles essentially force me to also be in a tall vehicle or have a worse view while driving.
