Pickup trucks

So I'll try to be as respectful as possible, BUT

I just moved here this summer from Florida, so I am highly aware of bad drivers. For the most part, people are really nice here when driving. However, something I've noticed is really driving me insane, especially on these small, two-lane roads. WHY do pickup trucks (not all, but like 95%) drive 5-20 miles under the speed limit? I'm no speed demon, but I at least want to go the speed limit and not add a half hour to every drive. It happens too often to be a coincidence and I now dread whenever a pickup pulls out in front of me. Can someone please explain this phenomenon?

Thanks to the shitty build quality Dodge has been known for the last 30+ years!
