Fleet sale prices. Durable and easily customizable compared to a unibody police car like the new Taurus.

Why what? Police truck for rural counties that have a lot of off road police chases.

If you're going to clean up that deer corpse of the local two lane you need a truck bed to toss it in.

The silverado starts at $25,500. The Tahoe starts at $44,000. I think that's a good place to start looking as to "why".

A proper truck can handle way more than a ute, and have the ability to go off road.

nothing wrong with that. They are useful here on the Texas Gult Coast especially the beach towns. Tow boat, haul gear, patrol the beach , and the streets.

they are not really equipped to go off road if they need to. That's why pretty much all the game wardens have trucks

Kayaking on Galveston bay? It doesn't get too choppy in some spots

Not if you use a kayak that is the size of a small boat.
