I can absolutely believe that. Pickup cabs are typically fairly small. They also usually have relatively vertical glass, for less solar gain than most cars.

A passenger car with lots of glass area and poor insulation can easily take that much capacity to cool. However, now that I think about it, I'd guess that much of that capacity is there so the car cools down quickly after it's been sitting in the hot sun. You could no doubt use a much lower capacity aircon unit if you allowed plenty of time to pre-cool it.
