Nope. I own a truck (mostly because I do some light forestry work a few times a year that a smaller utility vehicle can't handle) and they're generally perfectly fine for driving. American parking lots are a good deal larger than what you'll find in a dense urban European city.
Additionally, the newest models have had 360 degree cameras for a few years now since they're cheap to add and mark up the price by a bit. An inexperienced driver will have an easier time parking one of those than a standard sedan without.
It is profoundly stupid to own a pickup truck if you don't plow snow, need to haul things off road, or regularly tow recreational vehicles.
With that said, the higher trim models are easily the most comfortable vehicles to ride in that you'll find. I'm 6'4", and I can sit in the back seat of a modern crew cab truck without slouching and leg room to spare. Most smaller cars I can't even do that in the driver's seat.
You only need that if driving commercially, but the real barrier to entry is a training program before any carriers will take you seriously as a professional driver.
For reference you can drive 60ft of recreational nonsense in most states with a basic license.
