Not familiar with Australia. My understanding which could be wrong, is that 'down under' is vast, with much of the interior relatively not as developed as many of it's large urban centers on the coast.
The interior is rugged and demanding on vehicles, hence the market for heavy duty, 4WD, smaller vehicles needed to deal with the terrain.
I'm aware of road trains used where other countries might use rail to transport goods.
Just guesses on my part, never having been to Australia. I could be dead wrong, or just merely guilty of watching Crocodile Dundee too many times.

Basically yes. The irony is we have more paved road per head than the U.S., but three times as much dirt roads You do get heavier larger vehicles, but AWD, 4WD used vastly more than in the US
We have "lifestyle vehicles" as well, but they can be the Global Pickups if so desired.
There are no US HD Pickup Trucks used as work vehicles, they are primarily used as RV towers or Lifestyle vehicles
