Part of it is marketing. You have a ton of commercials featuring trucks, treating them as glamourous. You even have Chevy sponsoring musicians to showcase Chevy trucks on their shows [0].
Plus, the price on some of these trucks (not just MSRP, but of course, including gas) outpace their utility, so yeah, some really are just a show of wealth.

- rnk 4y agoOne major advantage of a pickup truck is carrying dirty stuff without getting the inside of an suv dirty. Even a small bed can carry things. Small bed pickup trucks make them easier to park and drive, they must be more efficient too. I would have probably chosen an suv version of the rivian if it was available, but only the pickup truck version was. The SUV style of the Rivian should be more fuel efficient than the truck version. The suv is almost available.
