And they still do look functional at some extent, even though it's not the greatest priority among a majority of buyers.

Well, there is a use for a pickup in an active lifestyle.

Sure, but we can't deny some folks get them only to "look" active even if they're actually a couch potato who doesn't even haul anything but a couple of grocery bags - in the rear seat of their double-cab used mostly for solo commuting.

I have one - an '88 Toyota - which hauls hay for the horses, firewood for me, other stuff on demand. Other times it gets me to trailheads at the end of 4WD tracks, or through a foot or two of snow for cross-country skiing. (That's snow on the road: the banks are running 12-15 ft this year.)

That was one of the last real trucks.
