Need to 'muricanise it more... It's a sort of pickup truck.
That doesn't make it not a truck.
Ok if it looks like a truck it's a truck
That's a truck, not a "car" as defined in OP
In trucks this size, not just vans?
Anybody know the safety of these vs typical trucks?
Some trucks are cars, this one included.
and im not sure it can actually "truck" in the same way a F-150 or Chevy can
It is a truck in name only. Hardly usable as a truck
This isn’t a mini truck, it’s a truck. It’s just that the others are giant trucks.
