Consumer reports are very biased with Japanese brands.
Ford Maverick isn't actually a truck.

Ford Maverick isn't actually a truck.
It is best described, along with the Honda Ridgeline, as the perfect truck for people who don't need a truck.
Pickup truck are not practical or useful for 99% that buy them as a daily driver. Maybe 1-2 times a year.
You are right, SUV's are a solid choice for most regular folks, as daily drivers, since their back seats can be laid flat to create storage space when necessary.
Large SUV's have the ground clearance, but still can not carry dirty stuff inside without messy clean up, and don't have the tongue-weight rating for towing sizable boat or trailer.
Nissan Titan is the same car with a truck bed
And I couldn't back up a trailer to save my life.
Trucks are small penis syndrome 100%.
Let me know when 90% plus of the population needs to tow more than 10k 3+ times a year, but needs to put 5-8 people in a car 20-30 times a year. I'll take the space for people 10 out of 10 time AND the ability to tow what the truck does.
I can tow up to 9k with my Armada and have. They have the same chassis as their truck counterparts. Nissan Titan is the same car with a truck bed as the Armada. Sequoia and Tundra the same.

I like midsize suv.
