Yes, these trucks don't do any job particularly well. They don't have big bed capacity, they have terrible visibility, they're extremely dangerous, and they're not even particularly good offroad because they're not built for that. They're built to exceed certain weight limits in the US's EPA regulations to reduce their cost. There's no point doing that then adding a bunch of expensive suspension components. You're much better off with a 20 year old Hilux in that regard. They only look like utes because you can't sell a 4 tonne family sedan, because people would notice it was useless. The tiny bed in back is a fig leaf.
