Not really. Many of us really do tow things quite often. I personally have probably 150000 mi of towing trailers in the past 6 years. All over the intermountain West. On top of that as a work truck under 200 miles is also ridiculous. As I mentioned in one of my other comments there's times where I fill up my gas tank four times a week. Just locally. That doesn't include when I'm working out of town. Most of my trips even to the nearest state are almost 200 mi. And most of them are well over 200 mi. If I were to add in time on top of my travel and work for charging that would be extremely prohibitive.
Most people buy trucks to commute to office jobs, or construction workers who commute to job sites where they then use company trucks.
