No, trucks are useful, but a massive modern pickup truck is much less useful in the urban context than a standard pickup truck from 30 years ago. The bed size has remained the same, the outside envelope of the vehicle has ballooned massively.

Toronto has a very high (for north america) transit mode share

I'm not disagreeing smaller trucks are normally better, but massive trucks are useful unlike cars.

Toronto has good transit for North America, but there are plenty of ways to improve it.

Yeah, so can I - doesn't mean much. The streetcar is not where TTC excels in ridership, the subway and buses are.
