Honestly. Starting to see these in the UK too, and all I can think is who the hell needs one of these things??
I can't imagine they're easy to drive around or park given their size, and they must guzzle through petrol. Even if you had a big family, surely you'd just get an SUV with not totally exposed to the elements boot space.
Tbh, I would get an electric one. They're handy for moving larger items. It's not done often, but there are moments where I wish I had enough space to, move a desk or a TV for example. That's why one of my friends keeps an ancient minivan alongside his new EV crossover.
Unless you already have one, for the sake of all the costs you'd need to pay to have a second car, I feel like you'd be better off just hiring a small van or something for a few hours when you need it rather than shelling out on a massive pickup.
I was considering that as well, but where I live, hiring a vehicle can be difficult, availability is questionable, and it's also kinda expensive, my plan was just to give my current sedan to my partner. We'd be able to get some utility from a ute.
