So true. A friend of mine got a Ford F-150 4x4 fully decked out, despite the fact that he can't do things on his own. I asked him if he intended to go off-road. He said "No, but I could if I wanted.". Of course he mostly drove in the city and brief highway trips. He couldn't get it in his garage and damaged the garage header and truck roof, that he had to get repaired. Totally useless purchase.
There are 3 senior neighbors that bought large pickups on my block. Only one will haul stuff in his F-150, mainly bicycles. Another has handicap plates on it. Another says he always wanted a truck, but it only sits in his driveway.
I have a medium-size pickup, and make numerous trips hauling concrete, rocks, lumber, and trips to the dumps. A huge truck is not necessary, especially if not used, and is just for bragging rights and a status symbol for some idiots.
I plan to fully retire in a few years and still be in my late 50's. So I wouldn't be surprised if I wind up volunteering myself for a lot of large family and church projects and one day require a full size pickup for at least the early portion of my retirement years when I'm still young enough to do things like that. I'll wait till that day comes, though, to make that decision. If that day comes I'd probably want a plug-in hybrid full-size pickup (they don't make those yet). It'd be nice to get 50 or so miles on the battery alone for local trips that would be free with our home solar like they are with our EV car, but still have the power of an ICE engine for when it's time to either use it like a pickup or go on long trips in regions that don't have good chargers.
