LOL. Why would you need a truck if not for towing something?!

  Modern cars are emotional purchases, manufacturers have figured out exactly which buttons to press to manipulate us into buying them. They are pretty much the only consumer good whose price has outrun inflation over the last fifty years.

  Its not about need for a lot of people. Its about having the money to optimize, aspects of their life, which everyone does in different areas. Trucks have the following advantages * Can drive most anywhere due to high ground clearance and 4wd. This comes in handy quite a bit. Having 4wd + weight + all terrain or appropriate tires means being able to leave the place during a winter storm versus being snowed in. * Can carry big things or dirty things. Motorcycles, mountain bikes, furniture, landscaping supplies, and so on, without being limited in where you can go or how fast you can go while towing a trailer like you would with an SUV. * They are safer for the occupants. Can't control if other people drink and drive. Can control if you survive or not if you get hit by a drunk driver.
