For the same reason people need SUVs, for moving large amounts of stuff around. In my case I would just throw the bike in the back rather than having to faff around laying all the seats flat and then having to put down the tarpaulin so they don't get dirty.

I could get a van but then I've got a stupid van with all its limited visibility. A pickup truck would actually solve the problem if it weren't for the fact that all the manufacturers are American and seem to think that they need to rival the size and weight of a tank.

Lol, folks don't 'need' SUVs. When I was in NYC 2 years back, after not having been there for a few years, I couldn't believe my eyes. The number of sheer gardensheds on wheels is hilarious. SUVs and 'trucks' are an American car manufacturers invention that have little to no basis in real world needs. All of you have been told you need it. That's something different.
