      the larger one does do more:

      • Pick up 3 extra people
      • Can roll down the back window to let long planks of wood through

      These are the only extra advantages I can see, and they are seldom use cases at best.

      Fine, if you’re a contractor driving your workers to/from work whilst carrying all the equipment, on a daily basis, such a truck is very useful.

      But how many people who drive these do that?

        Nobody does work out of that truck, it has a bed cover and the wheels don’t look like they have any mud or dirt caked in the tread/wheels. It’s a little pavement princess that probably carries one person 75% of the time.

            On the other side based on what I hear about american obesety, it can carry only 3 asses: one for each row including bed.

        • Pick up 20 extra people
        • Or pick up 30 extra people if some of them can stay
        • Have enclosed trunk(you still can leave doors in the back open)
        • Lower bed
        • Can carry bigger payloads

        The 3 extra people is a valid reason to not want the smaller truck. Still wouldn’t need to be so monstrous.
