Where do you find one of those? (Other than the '70s Toyota "Sport Truck") All the pickups I've driven or ridden in pretty much force a bolt-upright posture on you. Of course people are different, but to me that's quite uncomfortable.
But for this sort of commuting, it's hard to beat the original Insight. I spent a couple of years doing a 250-mile drive over the Sierra to the Bay Area. (Not every day, of course, about once every two weeks.)
The autostop also makes it pretty good in stop & go (freeway) traffic, once you master the trick of it, which is not to stop & go in lockstep with the car ahead, but let some space open up and smooth things out.
