so does a ford ltd wagon!!! tailgate and a lawnmower fits in the back.... sorta.

 

what? seriously. come on mane. it takes some type of truck chassis to be called a truck. and a lawnmower is not as large as a 4 wheeler

 

So what do you think of 18-wheeled semi-Trucks? - I think some of them may not like you calling your "Pickup" a "Truck" .

The word

[edit] Etymology

The word "truck" possibly derives from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language "trochos" (τροχός = wheel). In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America, certain kinds of big http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel were called trucks. When internal combustion-powered trucks came into use, they were called "motor trucks", possibly to avoid confusing them with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad usage of the word http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogie.
[edit] International variance

For more details on this topic, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_truck_types.


A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_FH highway truck


In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada "truck" is usually reserved for commercial vehicles larger than normal cars, and for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_truck and other vehicles having an open load bed.
In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland, lorry is used instead of truck, but only used for the medium and heavy types (see below); i.e. a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van or an off-road four-wheel drive vehicle such as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep may rarely be called a truck in the United States, but would never be regarded as a lorry in the UK or Ireland. The same applies to the initials HGV (for Heavy Goods Vehicle), which is basically synonymous with lorry. What the Americans call a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_wagon (a type of automobile) is called an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estate_car in the UK.
In U.S. English, the word "truck" is often preceded by a word describing the type of vehicle, such as a "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_truck" or "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanker_truck". Note that in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English these would be referred to as "fire engine" and "tanker" or "petrol tanker", respectively. In Canada "fire engine" is also used.
"Lorry" is also used in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong.
The word "lorry" is also used in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia, although there it can refer to a train.[1]
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_English, a pickup truck (a relatively small, usually car- or van-derived vehicle, with an open back body) is usually called a ute (short for "utility"), and the word "truck" or "lorry" is mostly reserved for larger vehicles. The small utility truck was invented in Australia in the 1930s.[2]
Other languages have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loanword based on these terms, such as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_language and the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language in northern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico.
A commonly understood term for truck across many http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe countries is camion. Camion is also used in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec to identify trucks in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language. Additionally, from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language the initials "Pkw" (Personenkraftwagen or passenger power vehicle) for a car and "Lkw" (Lastkraftwagen or cargo/load/freight power vehicle) for larger trucks are understood. Vans and small trucks are called "Transporter".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_languages use a term similar to the German one: Lastbil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_language and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language), Lastebil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language) and Vörubíll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_language), which all roughly translates to "load car". It should be noted that the loanword "truck" in these languages normally refers to a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forklift.
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy TIR is widely used, albeit unofficially, to mean "long trucks", with reference to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIR_Treaty. Smaller trucks are referred to as camion (unofficially) or autocarri (official name: literally "automobile-wagon").

Yea ! and with the right saw the fruckin top comes off too DM you have too much time on your hands, you need to get a website or somthing

 

imo, it doesnt matter what u call an suv. ive seen a couple suvs haul heavier loads than most people here on db will ever haul with there trucks, is it be safe, probably not. if ya dont believe me, go to a scrap yard, and watch what some people haul in there with suv's or even cars for that matter

 

yup my bother told me he saw a 90s 2door blazer pulling a 20 ft gooseneck stock trailer the other day. Said they had it hooked to the ball on the bumper


Personally I think it doesnt really matter what you call a suv but some people need to think and not overload them like i see a lot of people doing

 

Can't really call it a truck either, more like a pickup. A truck is what you see hauling 20k+, then it'll be an 18 wheeler.

 

You see some scary **** comin into the scrapyards
