Hot take: pick-up trucks should be illegal as daily drivers. You should need either a commercial license or permit. Vast majority of truck drivers don’t need them regularly as a truck or to tow; they’re just status symbols and make driving more dangerous for everyone else. Not to mention the inefficiency.
There’s an easier solution. A vehicle weight tax that actual laborers are exempted from. Weight is what damages the roads, so a weight tax would accomplish practical and ideological goals.
Bonus points for living on a 5 million dollar “rural” property 1:30 from the city center where they work.
Just call them what they are for so many, emotional support vehicles.
I don’t care what anyone says, it’s just a fact that the vast majority of people who use these huge trucks as daily drivers do not actually need to. Obviously there are exceptions, but they are relatively uncommon.
I use my mid-sized pickup as a daily driver, but that’s because I used to need it and my work situation recently changed. My plan is to get a little commuter car as soon as I can and use that as my daily driver and keep the truck for when I actually need it. The gas savings will pay for it, and again, I don’t even drive a full-sized pickup.

Also always drives 130 on the highway and accelerates as aggressively as possible. Then they post on Facebook complaining about the new carbon tax.
