I always drove a truck. Sold mine and had friends and cousins tell me they could never not drive a truck because a man just has a truck. One of those guy's wives has told me she wishes I'd teach her husband how to be handy . I have redone flooring, built sheds, built fences, etc. all while not having a truck. Borrowing, renting, or paying for a delivery is much more cost effective than owning a truck for most people. I can do a lot with a trunk, back of an SUV, or roof rack. And the 95% of the other time, I much rather my car (I drive 70+ miles a day).

Now if you own a boat or something like that. And if you truly use your bed that much, it's worth it. I just know a whole bunch of "men" who own "man trucks" who are compensating and it's just for show.
