What are pick-up trucks used for?

Traditionally, pick-ups were workhorses favoured for their ability to carry and tow heavy loads. Modern pick-ups are much more versatile and are increasingly popular with families. Great for towing caravans and carrying plenty of cargo, pick-ups now come with four-door double cab varieties on top of the traditional two door. Pick-ups are also popular as company cars, as users can reduce their Benefit-in-Kind tax by choosing a pick-up over an SUV or 4x4 . Just note that, to qualify, your pick-up will need to be classed as an LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) or be a double-cab pick-up with a payload of at least one tonne.
