I’m pretty tall. I move a lot of family members around on rare occasions. I go for week-long trips out of town in my car. I barely drive it in town (usually evenings and weekends and not even every evening or weekend). My car isn’t quite that behemoth but it is large enough for what I need. I have helped with over 4 home moves in that car and even used it to transport a fridge to a civic waste site.
It does the job fine. I’ve never felt the need to get a pickup truck. Some people probably have genuine use cases. The majority probably don’t. Those things are wild.
The mondeo is a great family car. I have a friend where his whole family, brother, mother, dag, uncle etc. each own a mondeo and sware by it because it just the right size for a family.
Yeah it’s one I’m struggling to replace, but because I use it so little I’m not as fussed just yet. Will keep it until it doesn’t pass MOT anymore, or something else makes more sense.

Being tall isn’t a good excuse for needing a large car anyway

Yeah, I moved house with a Mk2 Mondeo and it was a breeze. Towed well, and could take 70kg over the hitch at the same time.
Really practical :-)
