How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

Not less versatile, that's for sure. Way more versatile. I'm looking at the GMC Denali EV truck. They are pricey though
They don't really say on their website how much less range it has once you attach a trailer to it, beware.
Also the vehicle being so high and wide means it'll be hard to park. That alone should be a deal breaker for anyone living close to a city.
The extended cab means less room in the bed. If the goal is to carry stuff, you are losing both room and range. Your stuff also is gonna get wet unless you buy something additional to cover them.
EV large pickups seem to me like the worst of both world when I stop and think about it.
