l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
I sort of need a truck. I routinely buy full size sheet goods (plywood, OSB, etc). So I bought my first ever truck. A Ford Maverick, got the hybrid engine. The amount of people who try to make fun of it and say it’s not a truck is insane. I don’t care, I bought it cuz it’s not really an American truck and it does what I need out of a truck. The obsession with making trucks larger and larger in the US is wild.
