Lifted trucks if put to use is great, specially with the bigger tires you can climb over bigger things, give better ground clearance between your differential and the ground, also much better wheel travel as shown above. For me personally lifted to where you can't get in and out of the bed or tow a trailer totally defeats the purpose on a pickup truck unless its just purely for looks or a straight up offroad vehicle.
I personally don't get people driving around in little econo cars but hey thats me. I just don't get it /shrug
