Looking at the truck next to it in the picture, one can see the extreme movement of the axles for passing over rough terrain. That would explain why the cargo box is so high above the frame. I am pretty sure that would also have been a negative on the future production of the truck. For the very marginal amount of time that you would ever be in the situation of having to use the full travel of the suspension, you are forever doomed to having to lift your cargo to shoulder height to load the cargo box, or else satisfying yourself with the very limited space on the lower floor between the wheel wells.
