I don't think I'd call that thing a pickup. I'm not gonna run to the farm and pick up a 1000lb bale of hay in that thing. A Baja looks like it has more bed space.
Most pickup truck owners don't do that either.
Maybe in the US they don’t…
A bad pickup truck is still just a pickup truck.
Yep, what else could you call it? It's not a hatchback, a sedan, a convertible, a sports car, etc.

Incel Camino
An enormous mistake?
It's an Ute (as the Australians et al. call it), like the old El Camino etc.
Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.
Calling it a ute implies some degree of utility.
Trash.
A kid's drawing of a car come to life.
Hatchbacks can fold down the rear seats to extend the cargo area. The Cybertruck fails even at that.
Yeah. A wagon.

The worst El Camino ever?
And more ground clearance
