That's the most common use for them around here too, the mud tyres go on in winter for me. As a landscaper I can justify a pickup as a ton bag of materials can be forklifted into the back. It is irrelevant that it would also take 4 bikes/my kayak.....

Just spent a few days in Florida, and it was so refreshing seeing all those F-250s / similar actually being used for pickup related activities. Some were trailing pretty impressive loads that you'd usually only see small lorries pulling in the UK.

The Triton, as they're known here are pretty good really. Apparently better on road than the Hilux and just as capable. Loads of tradies use the Hilux, followed by the Triton. All with the side benefits of dirt bikes/MTB fitting in the tray.
Seems the real off-road crew use old patrols and landcruisers though.

You'd fit right in down here in Sydney. Just need a 4" lift and 33" mud tyres. Perfect for the morning school run.
