Yes but an older pickup is much more manageable and carries just as much in the bed. For some reason now they are jacking these up, making them wider and longer for no apparent reason. And honestly they haven't added very much to the beds. For that reason, as I'd mostly just need a utility vehicle and not a daily driver, I'd likely rather convert a salvaged 90s Chevy or Ford than buy a F150 lightning, cybertruck, or rivian. Another option would be a side by side (street legal with some modifications) or a Japanese mini truck. The former is available off the shelf with electric power train. A few use cases I have simply preclude modern pickups. For example, I sometimes need to drive on smaller forest trails which are cut for ATVs. Anything larger than a subcompact SUV can't even navigate these.
