Trucks have beds, a 1st gen 4Runneris a truck since all it has is a shell over the bed and does also have a cargo area in it.

according to the state of Illinois, there's Model:FOUR RUNR, and Body Style:UTILITY listed on my title. I call it MY TRUCK, my wife hates when I do that. well why should'nt I, she never drives it, and I effen paid for it.

This is a very interesting descussion...

in my family car = vehicle.

So i usualy say... " just a sec let me go move my car" or somebody might tell me... "i can't get out, your car is behind me" I never gave this a second thought, We always called our suburban a car and our deisel truck was a car too. Infact we have never even owned a "car" in the sence that you guys seem to look at it.

i call mine a truck

yes i call my 4runner a truck all the time. the term suv has been tainted by things like the H2.

my friend, who owns a ranger, corrects me all the time, pisses me off. sorry its a truck, solid rear axle, fully boxed frame, it hauls stuff (not a great as a true pickup, but good enough for me)

Question:

If your vehicle was made BEFORE the term "sport Utility vehicle" was created, is it still an SUV?

I always thought trucks had to have beds, but a good friend of mine has a bronco and i have been convinced to call it a truck. If that is true, then a runner would have to be a truck as well. They're all cars, vans, or trucks.

I say truck, simply because it fits and everyone that I know knows that that my 4runner is more truck than their pickups.

It's my rig...

Plenty of things were made before a name was created for it.....and they're still what they are.

when I'm at work and we have to clear the front parking lot for emptys they page me by saying "Rob you need to move your truck", so I guess its a truck.

rockdawg84

its a station wagon. all my friends hate that they have to have mudflaps on their trucks but the police leave me alone, even with 35's So to the police it is a station wagon but everybody else calls it a truck, but I just think it is fun.

Actually, the 4runner is just a trail-proven version of the grocery getter you see at all the mall parking lots this time of year

I think that pretty much any "SUV" that is based ion a truck frame would be a truck. I have 4runners and a Toy PU plus a Blazer and have owned several Suburbans and they are all definately TRUCKs Merry Christmas

If it has a fiberglass shell or a metal top (2,3,4 gen) and you don't have to help your friends move, that's all the matters to me.

yotasavg

it is simply a truck.

run4her

i call my pickup a pickup not a truck trucks have 18 wheels. but i wouldnt call a runner a SUV i guess to me SUVs a just fagmobiles that you see soccermoms rolling around in when the should me driving minivans i guess i wouldnt a call a jeep cherokee a suv either it just seems to derogatory i guess i just hate all these new low ground clearance crossover suv things. my aunt got some new subaru sation wagon looking thing and i told her it was a nice station wagon she got pissed and told me its an suv i just laughed.
my brother-in-law drives a mercury mountaineer and refers to it as a truck and it bugs the s**t out of me. buy a pickup or a mini van ya road warrior

It is:

my rig,
the big truck (to differentiate from the wifes truck-the '06 4Runner)
daddy's truck broke (my three year old)
money pit (the wife, parents, most everybody else)

I would rather own a Subaru than a SUV.
