Each to their own. I know a lot of people like a truck's high driving position and the sense of security it provides but I like driving and just find them awkward and cumbersome compared to a good sedan or crossover. Because of that I don't even feel safer in them, just capable of doing more damage.
Give me my Audi Q5 any day. Roomy little crossover that drives like a good sports sedan and makes twisty roads fun. I like my truck for what it does as a truck, tow my fifth wheel. Aside from that I wouldn't own one.
I drive an HD truck as my daily driver but a few times a year travel and rent a sedan. It's always funny when getting back in the truck at the airport how heavy and tank-like the truck feels. I quickly get use to it but I agree a car is much easier to drive.
The SUV sure has come a long way. My wife had a BMW X5 for a while which is probably similar to the Audi Q5. Without a doubt that was the best all around vehicle I've ever driven. Great visibility, AWD for great handling in the rain, easy to get in and out of, safe, fast, etc, etc. I need the truck for my work but could see myself in an SUV someday for sure.
