The pickup truck has long been a staple of practicality, performance, and rugged capability—but in the UK, its future is under serious threat. In this video, we break down how government policies, emissions regulations, and tax changes are making pickups more expensive, less viable for businesses, and harder to justify as daily drivers.
From ULEZ zones and increasing road tax to tighter CO2 restrictions and the crackdown on commercial vehicle benefits, we explore how the UK government is slowly phasing out the pickup truck. Are we witnessing the end of the road for these workhorses, or will the market adapt?
