As an owner of a pick up truck, figured I would stick my hand up.
I live on a farm, so it is used for its intended purpose, of which it is unmatched in it's ability.
The tax break thing is really not an easy thing to solve. Pick up trucks are classed technically as vans, and have historically been used by builders and farmers to cart 1 tonne loads around, as they are really useful to do this.
There seems to be two ways to remove the tax break;
Reclassify pickup trucks as non commerical vehicles, but that means that there are plenty of legitimate users who will then get taxed who shouldn't be.
Somehow check that the people driving the vehicle are using it for a legitimate reason, but who is going to set what a legit reason is and then police it?
