Huh? What, exactly, does a tax deduction on business use of a

Nothing.

One of the reasons for the popularity of large SUV's was the way a
vehicle 6000 pounds was depreciated by self-employed individuals.

The major part of it however is the fact that they are not counted in
the government-mandated corporate average fuel economy taxation
imposed on automobile manufacturers. I think you'll find that most
SUV drivers are _not_ self employed. Further, most SUVs do not weigh
6000 pounds.
