Trucks are primarily cosmetic as far as I can tell. I won't argue they aren't useful in rural environments but I also don't think it drives the bulk of sales/ownership at this point.
It’s not that people in rural areas necessarily buy them to use them more (tho it is probably slightly more) but that the culture in rural areas really revolves around trucks
When I go visit my folks it’s basically all you see out in the woods regardless if they’re seeing any action or not

The ground clearance matters a lot for shittily maintained roads even if you're not hauling anything for what it's worth.
