It is made for towing massive trailers.

It's made for carrying tiny penisses. Cars that are actually made to tow massive weights look like this

or this

Those are impractically large or not highway ready for horse trailers and other comparably sized trailers that are used for working. The F250 and 350 sized trucks are for in between light loads and those loads.

Not everything needs to be at the extremes of tiny or semi trailer.

I thought you were talking about massive trailers and not horse trailers. Noone needs a clown car to tow a horse trailer or something comparably sized. Your average station wagon is totally capable of that.

One of the most common and reliable pickups was the 1970 Chevrolet C10 Long Bed:

Height: 65.8 inches Length: 207.75 inches Width without Mirrors: 65.8 inches Ground Clearance (Front): ~8.1 inches Ground Clearance (Rear): ~8.1 inches

This is a 2025 Regular Cab Long Bed Chevrolet Silverado 1500:

Height: 75.6 inches Length: 229.7 inches Width without Mirrors: 81.1 inches Ground Clearance (Front): 8.1 inches Ground Clearance (Rear): 8.1 inches

The "farm truck" excuse is nonsense.
