How often do you talk to people with all these diff SUV's and not only talk to them but talk about the suv's. Reactions: lsd. Apr 3, 52, 4, It bugs me too. I think my Subaru SUV is classified as a wagon. Reactions: monkey Mar 20, , 5, Oct 25, 39 3 16 noscopes. A truck is a vehicle specifically designed for hauling heavy loads of cargo. Some "half ton" pickups and setting aside what those weight designations meant originally have payloads that make one question if the vehicle is good for carrying a wide variety of cargo that can fill up an 8 foot bed like firewood for example.
Some compact pickups count as half tons to me. Modern mid sizers are close to the dimensions of s General Motors half tons and there you go with a 6 foot bed. I would say semi trucks because they have limited ability to haul much cargo without a trailer attached. They work with towing more than hauling. A crossover or typical modern "SUV" like the Pathfinder is pretty much a tall station wagon.
I like station wagons but not much a pretend SUV. I like my brothers old Chevrolet Caprice station wagon andI do not think a car made in the s is an old car. I think cars that are older than I am are old.

I swear they shoved a tablet in a big cross trainer shoe and put wheels on it, then there's a little mouse in the toe that farts to make it move. Don't even get me started about pizza.

Most "High-performance four wheel drive cars have axles that would burst into a million pieces if actually used in a manner for which they are marketed By definition any vehicle that moves with it's own propulsion system is an automobile.
Cars, trucks, vans, mini-vans, motorcycles, suv's are all automobiles. BTW, just to add stuff.. Anyway, my useless opinion is that a van and suv are trucks.. By any definition of "SUV" they are supposed to have 4x4, and most made these days are 2x4.
Sounds like an error in classification. Actually, they make 4x2 SUVs to sell in more volumes.. Sorry Jim, Trains and Planes are not automobiles. The first person I heard call a van a truck was Canadian. So I'm going with a van is not a truck. I would agree however that a SUV is a truck. If you have a truck with a cab and seats in the bed its still a truck.
So there. You guys are getting way to into this. As far as my worthless 2 cents, I think SUV's could be considered trucks. However, I don't think a van could be considered a truck. Sorry Geno, Olds didn't make a truck version of the Bravada Bravada is the same thing as an Envoy or Trailblazer dude. Geno, lol Oldsmobile never made a truck.
Still don't, and probably never will. Stepho, I used the word "vehicle" to segregate anything that uses the pavement, I was going to say anything that is self-propelled but THAT would include shit like the NASA space crafts. That's just like a little man's complex Something that's rear axles could have a hole poked in one end them and be used to sew a sweater doesn't qualify as a "high-performance" off-road vehicle, truck or SUV.
EDIT: btw, I had and 86 blazer with the 2. Yes it was technically built on a truck frame, but to me, it was a car. So, if you want to call your Bravada a truck I understand, but still disagree Edit2: Bravada is the same thing as an Envoy or Trailblazer dude. The bravada is a truck whether you like it or not. Just like a compact car is not a sports car. Granted yes most of the frames are that of truck to help with the cheapness of being built but they fall under their own categories.
I Completely disagree and so does the majority. Also Geno made a very good point of stating, long before there was such a thing as "SUV"'s they were just called trucks. I gonna get it now :lol The majority was wrong when they thought the world was flat. When it was invented, just because it had the wrong name doesn't mean it should be left that way. As in my last post, or one of them anyway, a Sportage, Santa Fe, Raider, Escape, etc hardly qualify as a truck, let alone as a sport utility vehicle.
Ima shut up now, because it seems as though certain persons are gettin mad.
