And those longer vehicles aren't really made to run errands or fit in regular parking lots.

The picture in this case even says this truck is at Ikea. Is a furniture store where you might be loading lots of big shit really not a use case where bringing a long bed truck makes sense?

They aren’t, but not everyone can afford two vehicles. I can imagine a person getting an extended cab truck for both errands/family and work. And if this is the case, what are they supposed to do?

Vehicles are expensive.
