It’s a cultural thing, mostly. Some people do work as contractors and need large truck beds though.

I doubt these trucks can be driven around in European or Asian roads. They seem so humongous. Even cargo vehicles which transport goods across the city are much smaller than these in India. Why are trucks so popular in the US? Does everyone haul things often? Are cargo trucks not rentable?

The US government's standards for fuel economy paradoxically push car manufacturers to make bigger vehicles. The few mid-size pickups still available are now as big as full size pickups once were.
