At Winn-Dixie parking lot. Some dude says that to me.

Um...its not a truck, but ok. It's the compliment that counts.

But wait...it is a truck. At 5500lbs, I remember signing my ppwrk and it did say truck. ๐Ÿ˜‚

People call SUV's trucks nowadays, not sure why or when that started.

Same with coupe SUV's. Porsche has a new Cayenne "coupe" to go along with their regular Cayenne SUV.

Does a truck require a truck bed?

All about weight. Not sure at what weight the classification becomes truck, I'm guessing 5000lbs.

I have a used car business. All SUVโ€™s are now apparently called Jeeps. Caught me off guard the fist few times because we had no real Jeeps on the lot at the time. Now i just shake my head.

As I recall, that "truck" nonsense started when they could skate by some emission requirements by calling the little 'wagons "trucks".

In real life it's easy: Trucks you put things on, cars and vans you put things in.

Same with "Jet-Ski"...for every personal watercraft.

I'm sure Kawasaki didn't mind it at first, but Yamahas are called 'Waverunners' and so on. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Meanwhile, my girlfriend refers to her Ram 3500 crew cab long bed as a car. A car that can pull her horse trailer, but still.

2003 was the last year Durango/Dakota chassis were shared (if remembering correctly). I sometimes refer to my Durango as a truck, which it clearly isn't but is built on the truck chassis. I reckon I should stop calling it a truck.

I admit, I'm guilty. I use "dumbass" basically for every redneck, idiot, goofball, mouth breather, backwards cap wearing, or other intellectually challenged moron out there. I should be more specific.

All of the Ramchargers I had years ago were classified as "station wagons" on the title. I don't think the term SUV was in wide use back then. I guess since they weren't the classic definition of trucks or vans to the DMV, they landed on station wagon. When I bought my first one, a 1976 and it said that on the title I thought the guy was trying to swindle me.
