For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

I understand the general use case what I don't get is where a pickup is more suitable than something like a flatbed Transit - https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFgxMDI0/z/VmIAAOSw6DNcrKoD/$_86.JPG

Which has a bigger bed, a far more economical engine and is overall far more suitable as a work vehicle for carrying those kinds of loads.

Also do you not just have garden waste collection services?

Just hire the above for the few times a year you would need it. Honestly I do find it baffling.

    I'd definitely consider a flatbed transit personally, but there is definitely a "cool" factor that is lost on something that looks like that. Not that "cool" factor is a good argument for something to exist, but it is what it is.

    And I could probably do that, but I'm in a pretty rural area and services like that tend to have a very long wait list around here because there's too many people that need the same work done, and not enough handymen/services willing to do it. Not to mention the cost tends to be several hundred dollars.
