I think you've got that backwards: a lot of truck owners are just using them as station wagons.
There are a lot of things that a truck will do that station wagons can't, because they lack the ground clearance to handle rough roads. If you get a station wagon that will pull a trailer hauling significant weight, such as a load of logs for firewood, a two-horse trailer, or even a good-sized load of hay, then that station wagon is going to be almost as large & thirsty as a truck (in fact, it'll probably be a fairly large SUV), and you will be driving it all the time and getting lousy mpg.
