LMAO! A poll of 13 people, most of whom drive / own a car (more likely to consider anything taller than a camaro a truck) on whether an SUV is more like a car or a truck is not something I would consider as unbiased. |

2. Please don't start trying to be a wise ass, you know exactly what I meant as can be seen by your question 3 which means you know exactly what I meant. 3. The name it was given was based under the standard base vehicle type it was, the SUV title was given as another divider to split it from the main frame of the typical truck. 4.You can't pick and choice what type of vehicle it is based on the name on it. If you pull a corvette emblem off a corvette and stick a Cavalier emblem on it, it does not stop being a corvette.

You guys can call your SUV's what you want... anyone who drives a C/K1500, F150, RAM 1500, or one of their variants, etc is just gonna shake their heads (or laugh) when you call your [insert model name... RAV4, Envoy, RX400, etc] a truck. |

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?
so....
SUV With actual trucks frame/steer/susp. = worthy SUV with "other" frame/steer/susp. = not worthy A bravada has a truck frame. Same as blazers. you can get lift kits for them and run on 33's. They are light too even the ones with a 2.8 v-6 will do some mudding. But nothing compares to a 70's cj5 jeep when it comes to real four wheeling. What about jeeps anyways? truck? SUV? What did they call it back in WWII? They didnt say "lets hop in the SUV and go kick some ass over and out!" |

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?
I belive that if a suv is based on a chassis then it could be considered a truck and if not then it is a form of van/or wagon that only is drove by chicks and in the word of earlsfat SERIOUS, limp-wristed fag. and the el camino is a cruck. half car half truck= cruck

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?
Necropost after a decade, I know. But guys, you gotta understand, there is someone I found here on the Internet, who is *wrong*! See why I had to do it?
Earl: that everyone used to believe the world was flat is not true. It's a misconception that was popularized most during the 1800's when authors wrote about how Columbus was told by everyone that his ships would fall off the edge of the world! But alas, it is apocryphal. As far back as Ancient Greece, which borders on the oldest written records we can find, it was well understood that the earth was a sphere. People noticed that below a certain line south, there was a time of day when the sun would be exactly overhead. For example, the deep bottom of a well would be illuminated. However for anywhere north of this line (which we now know is the Tropic of Capricorn... Or cancer? mea culpa) there wasn't. Above that line, there's come a time of day your shadow would get verrry short... but never all the way. The sun would never be exactly overhead above that latitude. Eratosthenes tried to use geometry to estimate the earths circumference around 200 bc, and the number he calculated was within ~15% of the true value we now have satellite-precision measurements for--not too bad for someone living 2000+ years ago! At any time throughout the last 2000 years, there almost certainly had to be pockets of ignorance where certain groups thought the earth was flat--that's true even today (look up the Flat Earth Society, there forums are a hoot). However the majority of humanity, that is the general knowledge base of humanity, has known the earth was round as far back as we have preserved documentation to account for.

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?
An SUV is a truck if it is based on a truck chassis or its own original chassis. Full size SUV’s are built on massive truck chassis and are considered trucks.

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?
SUV is sports utility vehicle. It is under a truck category perhaps because it is built on a light truck chassis
