    You could do that, but in southern states they’d just make it too easy to get the permit. See Oklahoma’s “commercial vehicle” loophole where everyone has their car zoned commercial to get a tax write off. Also electric pickup trucks are a thing.

      That and there are plenty of people who need a truck regularly enough to justify owning one vs renting one, but don’t use it comercially. The “permitting” for this would have so much gray area, it wouldn’t be worth it. Additionally, if you told all those people they couldn’t have a truck, they’d just go get an SUV and you wouldn’t really accomplish anything.
