I think that some of the full sized trucks that you see being dailied are bought because they need a family vehicle that tows a boat or camper.

The modern Ford Ranger is built on the standardized specs of the global market pickup truck. (Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa) The Toyota Hilux, Nissan Nivara, VW Amarock, Mercedes X Class are all roughly the same dimensions.
