> Odd for me all my friends who farm or do construction own either the F150 or the equivalent dodge RAM truck.

From what I've seen at local lumber yards, new F150s and Rams are the trucks that the boss usually drives, not the workers who are actually picking up the material. They are buying and driving cheapest truck that gets the job done. It's an F-150, it's an older one. A lot of Toyota Tacomas though.

I'm in the US.

> The other trucks either don’t have cabs big enough to fit multiple workers or fit full sheets of drywall.

Large sheet goods either go on the lumber rack or if it's enough, is delivered on a delivery truck. Usually not in the bed. That's for tools, bags of material, etc.
