I have a few 33 rounders laying around and I have been contemplating using one to keep in the truck for a backup mag. Do any of you guys use one in this application? Thoughts on their real world practicality? I usually have a 17 round mag with me and I'm thinking the extra ammo won't hurt just laying in my console.

Well every now and then I will use one in competition and I have noticed that I really can't hit anything without tons of focus on my end until I get down to about 20 rounds in the mag. I think it's the weight shift or something not real sure I have other friends that compete that have the same problem. I have pretty much deemed it stupid to use them anymore and just stick with standard mags.
33rd use = Zombie apocalypse , well OK they work great for your 9mm carbines as well as provide great balance to a G17L, makes it look like a boomerang as well
If the gun jams, you can smack 'em on the head with a full mag!
Go 41rd mag or go home! 
But seriously though... pretty impractical. I only have them for my AR9 PCC that I use in competition.
My daily carry is a 15rd mag and my spares are 17+2 mags. Plenty.

I've owned a number of Glocks and never felt I had the need for a 33rd mag. I'd rather have two 17 round mags than one 33rd. They are in the same ballpark as a 100 round AR or AK drum. Tacticool but not practicool
Toy or joy. Toy for range or joy for a prosecutor looking to make an example of you if used in a SD scenario in some jurisdictions.
