Got to disagree on that. For the 90% that use the trucks as cars, you wouldn't need the trailer hitch :-) For people who use trucks for actual work, you need the high clearance, and often 4WD.

As for range, I think an electric could do well for many work truck purposes. Back in the days when I did construction work, I would seldom drive more than 100 miles or so in a day, and this in the LA Basin.
