Question irrelevant
Two very different trucks.
One is a 3/4 ton that can haul and pull a bunch.
One is a commuter truck where someone wants the ability to grab some stuff from the hardware store for house projects.

Real men do ...
Yes. Are you giving it away?
To answer the OP's question: If the purchaser needed a 3/4 ton truck...it's not as if he has a broad selection.
If gosh bling is what they're making.......
Actually, is the bling what you're focusing on or possible excessive size?

HA! Some web sites have a higher sober to not sober posting ratio than others, LOL! BITOG may be somewhere in the middle if I were to guess.
Around here, they both are.
But it's a big tough truck, "made for work."
Yeah yeah yeah, I get it.
That grille is stupid. The hood height is stupid. At this point a CDL should be required to drive these ego-boosting "work trucks."
Some customers need it, others need the Tacoma and some need something else.
Now what people buy can be another story and is none of my business. Just my 2 cents...

Yes.
And that bothers you or others because?

At this point I'm surprised they aren't selling 16ft box trucks with 1000hp as commuters.
The very question would suggest that you are a city dweller, never stepped food on a farm, have never had anything to do with the construction industry, and never towed anything.
So, perhaps the question is, does anyone that spends their life in the office, need a truck like this.

Don't get me wrong, the new Chevy/GMC trucks are ugly as sin to me.
I also do not disagree with you about the CDL.
Only because consumers don't really want these. It would be fine with me if they did.
In the past 3/4 and 1 ton trucks weren't quite so tall, but GM does GM things... The reptilian part of the brain does affect purchasing decisions and if "up high" is good for everyone to be in a SUV, upper "higher" is gooder!
I've never looked at these up close, but the floor height must be getting high enough to deter some buyers now... The look kind of ridiculous to me when I see them from the front, but I'm not buying them!

Short answer, yes.
Long answer is why is it any of your business? Do you know what that person does with the truck?
I tow tons of stuff, but it is not always hooked up to my truck.
Did you walk over and look at the amount and size of the coolers behind large opening? If you look at mine you can see the size of the condenser, there is also a huge transmission cooler, radiator, and power steering cooler.
I don't know about you but when I am towing my 8000lbs travel trailer over the passes in the summer it is nice to have the air
flow over all those coolers.
You have about three good choices when it comes to 3/4 ton and up trucks. GM, Ford and Ram. Even the Tundra has a big grill now, letting all the extra flow in for cooling.

Of course but the real question is how many of these owners frequently utilize the features of a 3/4 ton. Need is proportional to the number of likely scratches, dings, and tire choice. Growing up we had a work truck for our property. The taillamps and certain body panels were held on with duct tape, I could see the ground through a hole in the floorboard, and a glasspack replaced the muffler. Yes it was 4WD.
How good or bad are the sightlines compared to your last truck? CoG? Maybe its just the styling cues that make it look "big"?
