I live in Wyoming so I understand rural, however we are not the only folks with a "real" use for trucks. Plenty of reasons for a townie to own one.
My point was more that a pickup's core demographic live in places where range is absolutely a consideration. Some city folks do have good reason to own a pickup, but for most it's an aesthetic/image thing. Which, given the environmental/traffic safety consequences of driving a larger vehicle than necessary, is plenty deserving of judgement imo.
