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 loved my 2003 Honda Accord V-6 Coupe when I had it. Great fun on mountain roads, lots of power. But in all practicality I could only take one other person in it because the back seat was useless for anyone who actually had legs. My F-150 won't race that coupe on those roads, but I also wouldn't drive the Honda out across the pasture when I take the dog out for a run.
My wife's Ford Edge is a nice enough crossover, exponentially more versatile than my Honda was and I don't mind driving it, but given my druthers, I'd druther take the pickup. :W
