I dunno, why would anyone with a 4-wheel vehicle want to carry around 2 tons of steel body and frame, just so he can carry a load of lumber once a year? Mostly because a relentless advertisement campaign convinces him that (1) he needs it; and (2) he can have it for just a few dollars more a month than "some econobox" --or so it appears, when only the loan or lease is considered. People in the West, especially in the US, generally buy what the automakers find profitable and tell them to buy, not what they need. And that isn't just true of vehicles.
