I feel like if you loaded a bunch of suitcases in the trunk, the front wheels would come off the ground.

Probably to have any semblance of a trunk when you have such a long and broad hood. Instead of "cab forward", the designs over the last few years have been "cab rearward", so you need more space back out there for the seats and trunks. It makes the car look more stylish and coupe-ish, but this is one of the effects IMO.
