Very true .. what works for some people doesn’t always work for someone else. My 08 is a quad cab and I rarely used the rear seat .. I think someone sat back there less than a dozen times in the 13 years I have owned it. I can understand the bigger is better thought , I thought about a 2500 quad cab and even a regular cab 8 ft bed imo just too big for my needs and I just dont like the looks of the regular cab / 8 ft bed . I have towed my 20 ft enclosed trailer with my 2WD regular cab short bed 92 D150, a 2002 4.7 3.92 rear Durango and my 08 H.Q.C. All towed well with no problems . My new truck isn’t going to be my daily driver mainly only used for towing , my trailer is only 20 ft with my 3,000 lb Dart I m confident the way I equipped my truck it will be fine. I just really like the regular cab / short bed trucks and the way they look as this will be my third ( I still have my 92) I Am very impressed by the room in the cab and am psyched to get it. Sure a big 2500 would be the ultimate but with the size and cost my 1500 will be fine for my needs. My Honda HRV AWD is my daily driver and is good in the snow I got my new truck in 4WD because even under heavy snow accumulation we have to get out my wife's Acura RDX AWD is also good but we like having the option of using the 4x4 truck if need be. My 92 D150 is 2WD it also has Won trophies at Shows as well as having many round wins as well as over 10 Eliminator Wins as my back up race vehicle. 4WD vs 2WD they both have their purpose based on the owners needs.
