I fully understand the need for the four door truck for the families that love to camp. We used to take two vehicles when the four of us would not fit in my two door truck (limited the amount of travel we could do if we wanted to tow).
I also understand that in some cases....dad's work truck is the family mobile.
Still, I own a two door truck....every day driver that is normally just me. Plenty of bed space, even with a 20" crossover box, with my 8' bed. Kids are grown, so plenty of room for the wife and I (plus dog) to hook up the TT and head out.
Sarcasm aside....to each their own, and the market is what the market is. Demand is driving the supply, and four door trucks are popular. You won't find many two door trucks on the dealer lot.
