Congratulations on the emotional support brodozer.

Sorry, this isn’t the place to be dickish about this. I have a visceral reaction to big trucks for my own reasons, but I need to learn to let people enjoy things.
Yes, absolutely. Am skilled trades and do a lot of work on commercial marine vessels, bulk carriers, barges, drill platforms, and tugs. I won’t go into further detail as it might get too exciting. It’s lemmy they get upset over the slight though of pickup trucks.
No it’s not really necessary. For many trades a van or a small box truck is more practical. It’s what most of the world outside of North America uses.
Pickup trucks popularity as a status or recreational vehicle has heavily influenced the modern design. It’s made the newer models harder to use for work without significant modification.
I have driven pickup trucks for work for 20 years now. It’s gotten so that I dread having to purchase a new one. It seems like every new model has more “features” to break.
Oh man, here we go with the vans again. TDG, are you familiar with that? Massive pain in the ass to transport welding gases in a van vs a pick up. Massive pain having to load and unload a welder. In a van vs pick up. Got a heavy trailer? Yeah you ain’t pulling that in a 3500 sprinter or express van. Got long shit it can hang over the tail gate or roof with one strap, instead of a dangly ass string pinching the doors tight to hold your shit in place. Oh BTW veichles naturally have a negative interior air pressure. Meaning with the rear doors open the exaust fumes are getting pulled inside. Mmmmmm delicioso. You gona hand load a 6ft x 8" x 1" thick plate by hand in to your van? Or you know overhead lift with a crane or fork lift like the rest of the world. Tell me how comfortable it’s to drive 8-10hrs in a van to a job site, … I can go on and on on and on on why vans aren’t the one and only choice for work vehicles.

Not saying you’re correct or incorrect on is purpose for OP, but sometimes trucks like this are necessary.
