Given the % of urban vs rural population of the US, yes (as expected)

Doesn't justify the urbanites buying SUVs though

Don’t forget that the Census Bureau counts every town of 2,500 in the middle of farm country as an “urban area.” I’m in an “urban area” and I can drive to horse farms in 5 minutes.

Urban Areas include both Urbanized Areas >50K and Urban Clusters 2.5K-50K

US is 68% Urbanized, 21% Rural, and only 10% Urban Cluster.

And of course those horse farms only demand a big truck if you are doing big work on the horse farm. If all you need is AWD you don't need a big truck.
