Seems likely they are talking about semi trucks, not pickups.
When you need to haul something a truck is infinitely more useful than a Ferrari.
At least trucks are carrying something we all need, unlike cars.
Aren't most trucks multi-axle and have distributed weight?
Those are all the things people use trucks for

He likely means medium and heavy trucks.
Except for some edge cases, what else is the use of a 3,000kg 6m truck when it is transporting between 1 and 4 people except to compensate?
No one is saying pickup trucks are never used to haul large items. They’re saying the vast majority of pickup trucks purchased are not used for that purpose and even when they are it’s a couple of times a year, a situation where renting a truck ought to make a lot more logical sense.
