How do you define utility? I know that many people in my city (in Russia, for reference) are buying larger cars (such as SUVs/crossovers) to get to the summer houses (dachas). Others do it to be able to drive in winter. Mind you, winters in my specific area aren’t that harsh, but the snow plowing is lacking - main roads might be clean, but good luck getting to them through knee high snow.
No idea why some buy pickups though. Those seem excessive in the city. Utility can be achieved with a van, for example the Gazelle
