which is a massive pickup truck that gets half the mpg of my SUV

That is subjective, you can get trucks with 6 cyl, and pretty good gas mileage, though it defeats the purpose

gets all my stuff wet

Get a cap or bed cover...

can't have a roof rack

You do realize that trucks have roofs right? Also, you can put roof racks right on the sides bed, inside the bed, or on top of a cap.

and sucks even worse for towing due to so little weight on the rear wheels?

Show me the SUV that can tow 12klbs. Trucks are always better at towing than an SUV, the longer wheelbase increases the resistance to being pushed so you don't need as much weight in the back.

If you don't know what the hell you are talking about, don't open your mouth and show yourself to be ignorant.

My Tundra is great for Boy Scout trips, I have the cargo capacity for me and my two kids, I can carry two more kids comfortably, and I can tow the troop trailer with ease. The SUVs are nowhere near as good at it as my truck.

I would love to see you pull up numbers to prove what you have stated, but just checking the Tesla, I see you are full of shit. The F-150 weighs between 4154 and 4930 lbs, the Tesla weighs 4647. The Tesla could weigh more than a F-150 with a tiny engine. The F-150 also just went through a weight reduction of switchign to all aluminum panels, so it weighs significantly less now than its competitors.

4,920 to 5,675 lbs 2015 Toyota Tundra, Curb weight
4,689 to 5,433 lbs 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Curb weight
4,510 to 5,420 lbs 2015 RAM 1500, Curb weight

I run my own Teamspeak server, PPTP VPN, multiple game servers for my friends and I, a Plex server and probably numerous other things that will break. Please show me how I can trade that in for AWS that will run out of IPs as well some time soon.

As far as underpowered hardware, I have a dual quad Xeon with 64 GB ram. Uncontrolled, well you got me there, I don't have redundant air conditioning. Asymmetrical, nope, FiOS went Symmetric already. But, running all of this is much cheaper than paying someone else to run all these services for me.
