Do you guys call your 4Runner a "truck?"
#21
This whole thing just proves that most girls don't know the first thing about cars/trucks. My ex-girlfriend used to call the wheels on her car the tire, like it was all the same thing. I mean c'mon. My sister summed it up when she said: "I don't want to know anything about cars. All I want to know is that when I put the key in it will start." So there you go.

ROFL @ Corey!
I call mine a truck.
I don't know tho, I mean what is the definition of car vs. truck. case in point el camino. WTF is that? Car or Truck.
To bad they have laws protecting little kids
That's the first time someone has called my rig a car.

I call mine a truck and a rig. I totally agree with tailgate point, and since mine is an 87 and the top comes off, it really is a truck. The only way it could be more of a truck is if it was one of those few industrial models that didn't come with carpet in the back, then I could put 500lbs of manure in without messing much up. But just remember that anyone who argues with you about it being a truck is just jealous and wants to make themselves feel better

RIG
I use that name more often than anything else when I refer to my vehicle to someone else.
Perhaps I should get vanity plates that say RIG on them
They are probably already taken in my state.

Truck
Rig
Runner
While someone was laying on the ground beneath the front of his runner, I said, "Has he got a problem with his outfit?" I was greated with a WTF sort of look. I also call trucks outfits.
When I am at home, the garage holds 2 4-Runners, a Sequoia and a RAV4. When I go in to town for parts, I would say:
1) I am taking the Silver truck (Sequoia)
2) I am taking the Purple truck (97 Runner)
3) I am taking my outfit (95 Runner)
4) I am taking the Jelly Bean (RAV4)

I also agree... "truck" is the most correct
Suv makes me think of a couple kids jumping in at the grocery store on they're way to practice!
Trucks go offroad, carry tools and tow toys!!
SUV"s can have transverse mounted engine, trucks cannot.
~SUV's are also sometimes Fwd....trucks are always available 4wd
Trucks have lift kits, suv's have O G bawler rims
and finally...trucks have to pull out SUV's on mountain passes because the soccer mom driving it couldn't resist the urge to speed because she has "4 wheel drive" ~ my Xmas trip to washington state proved this...

Truck
It's a TRUCK, it's parents were trucks and it's grandparents were trucks, that makes it a truck.
It does have some 'all wheel drive station wagon' cousins though (Hilander & Rav4) maybe some people confuse the family connections.
But no use correcting them..."where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise"

I've even had one guy (highschool age) call it a Hummer, and he was immediately corrected by his girlfriend.
