I don't think it's all that rare to need a pickup truck for certain uses, but small pickup trucks have basically disappeared.
Rather than require a CDL for any pickup truck, I'd prefer a policy to require a CDL for vehicles above a certain size/weight, or with front grills that extend more than about 3 feet off the ground, or with the ability to reach freeway speeds from a stop in under about 5 seconds.

Same thing could apply to SUVs.
