I said nothing about safety. I just said it should be considered a different class of vehicle if it meets certain characteristics. SUTs are great for camping, for hauling surf boards & kayaks (possibly with a rack) and tow just as well as pickups. They don’t have a full-size bed, so they’re worse at most jobs, though the larger cab does mean they can carry more workers at once. It’s a trade-off: get worse at most work-related tasks, get better at personal tasks and thus reach a wider market.
Typically that’s around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.

The tests have determined that was a lie
Nice to see you’ve realized it’s a compromise and not some slam-dunk about the character of whoever’s driving it based on no additional information.
That being said, truck bros can be as insufferable as anyone else with an ego, they’re just easy to pick on
