Why do new trucks/SUVs look like sh*t?

I swear the only trucks in production right now that I find attractive at all are the Land Rovers. What is going on? All trucks and SUVs used to be so beautiful AND capable! Now they look like bubbles that can't even roll to the end of a snowy driveway. And the sides are so high and hideous!

the real answer is that [in the past] these TRUCK BASED vehicles became popular for their abilities,
then the market demographic shifted from people who had to get somewhere period to people with large disposable incomes that never used the potential capabilities [so why make it actually capable?] then the "designers" got involved loading these incapable barges down with the sort of trash that is called in car entertainment, power or automatic everything, g.p.s.[for people who are always lost, on the way to the mall]
unfortunately there is very little left on the market that has any capabilities period at any price.
with the possible exceptions of the kia sportage [inexpensive and becomes capable with decent wheels/tire combinations] and the super duty fords when equipped with the power stroke diesel
and the blacked out grill [they gotta lose the[[ be bop-a- do waa]] chrome and have a gizmo delete option]
