A large part of this is emission standards. The way they enacted the laws made it easier to hit targets + better margins (and thus profitability) on trucks / SUVs / etc than cars. So manufacturers marketed and shifted to building more SAV / SUV / light trucks.
While there's a lot to be said for the practicality aspects if you have to have just one vehicle that can do it all....ideally I'd rather have a 2-door coupe for daily needs and a more dedicated / hardcore SUV / truck for the weekend activities.
Within the next couple years I plan on having a G22 M440 and one of the new Broncos in my garage to do exactly that. Not gonna lie though - I may just end up back with another Ram 1500, we'll see.
