LOL, I think our definitions of "good" handling are vastly different. Vastly. Different.
A truck with good handling. 
You crack me up.
So when it wallows through the curves, it does so smoothly and consistently.
When it goes around a skid pad or on ramp, its able to to hit a whopping 0.5g 
So Mr Man, how many times a week do you haul gravel, lumber, brick, appliances, and tow trailers? From your description, I take it you are a contractor and use your truck every day for work. Confirm or admit BS.
In real life, contractors use vans, because they don't want their good tools stolen from the back of a truck. In real life, whenever I see a pickup, they are pristine. The beds are never scratched and always empty. In real life, most people use them for commuting. Trucks are status symbols for people who like to fit in, but don't care one bit about driving or working.
Why would anyone want to compromise the great driving dynamics of a good sportscar, just to have a utility / truck that might haul something 3-6 times a year. That sounds like an awful compromise. Renting some crappy truck is like $18/hr. Far cheaper to do that every time than to buy such a useless truck for $20-40k. The majority of places that sell bulk material, deliver for free, in their dedicated business truck that is beat all to Sheol.
Everyday I drive to work, my car puts a smile on my face from ear to ear. Yee haw. What a great way to start work.
You are self identifying as not belonging in a armed polite civil society. 
You want to safely stand out from the world. Therefore you bought a truck just... like... every... body else. 
You make this too easy. 
Obviously you don't know Avenger very well. Or many of us who own trucks, myself included.
The reasons I own a truck:
1) Because I don't like sitting so low on the road that I feel like my ass is dragging pavement. And I like to be able to see what's going on. Although my truck is smaller than what a lot of these guys drive, I can still drive it at night without headlights directly in my eyes.
2) Because I'm a very independent person and I dislike having to ask anyone to borrow anything or do anything for me. I've owned my truck for ten years and it's worth every penny I paid for it, for that alone.
3) Because I DO use it to haul things - landscaping stuff, furniture I've bought or sold, camping gear, shooting gear, fishing gear (I promise you, you do not want a bait bucket to tip over in your trunk), bulk trash items to the dump, the kid's bikes, have helped all three of my kids and multiple friends move, have moved myself, and while I don't haul something every time I drive it, I do have something in the bed about once a week on average, and far more often in the summer.
4) I live on a dirt road that bottoms out after a good rain and stays that way until someone around here (me on one occasion) hauls in a load of sand to fill in the ruts.
5) I get 24/mpg on the highway and about 18 in town. Granted, I don't have a ton of power, but I have what I need and if you know how to run through the gears on a 5-speed, you have sufficient power to pull out into traffic without causing break lights behind you.
6) If I were to have to evacuate (hurricane zone) I can do so far more efficiently than I could with a car - and try finding a buddy with a truck to borrow when everyone's trying to get their essential things to safety.
7) I enjoy driving a truck. If you think they don't ride for crap, don't handle well, and don't look pretty, you clearly haven't spent much time in one. I can't fathom EVER owning a car again. If someone were to hand me the keys to a car, I'd sell it and buy a truck (or an old Jeep). And like most of us on here, I don't give a damn what anyone thinks of me. Sports cars are status symbols. Trucks are useful.
But I'm sure your little sports car doesn't have anything to do with status, Drewtam.
