Yes, people are towing nose high. In moderation, probably not the end of the world but not good.
The height of the new trucks beds just makes the bed near useless.
I couldn't figure out why people were so against getting a 3000-4500w generator. I can put our 4500w unit in the back of the truck by myself with no issues. Of course, I have a 2008 2WD F250. We've taken some moderately rough 2 tracks and never needed more clearance (3/4-1 ton trucks are lousy for serious off roading anyway).
Last week, had a neighbor ask if I could help him put a similar size generator in his truck (a newer 4x4 but not lifted). I didn't think to grab at the bottom of the generator and ran out of reach before we got it up to the tailgate. We had to set it back down get a new grip and even then the height made it awkward with 2 of us lifting it.
Similarly, when we had a 5er, my 5ft wife could work the hitch release arm without resorting to steps or ladders. Some of the newer trucks, at 6'2", I would need a step to reach the release.
I kind of get it with the 1/2 ton trucks as most are bought for appearances not capability but the 3/4 & 1 ton trucks are usually bought because you need to haul stuff.
