Is a SUV or Van a truck?

FormulaLT1 · 12-01-2006, 01:52 AM

I recently had a dispute with someone over a SUV being a truck. I said it was a nice truck and the other party said it was not a truck but a SUV to which I stated that a SUV is a type of truck. Then we got into GMC trucks and if they are GM's truck division and they make a SUV it must be a truck. Then they stated a van is not a truck either. So I was wonder if it is just me or do you guys as well consider vans and SUV's to be truck.

Is a suv or van a truck... Yes or No?

I'm not sure how to vote, but I'd vote closer to a truck. I don't think a van is a truck.

Yes, always have been, always will be.

Hey, everyone. Guess who I was disagreeing about this with

.

, its a truck. In NY and NJ I know for a fact if you have a work Van, you have to get commercial TRUCK plates. Also GMC trucks makes vans.

when "suv's" first came out, the term "suv" didn't even exist, they were called trucks. Therefore they are still considered trucks on a sub-level.

For example, I own 3 cars and 1 TRUCK!

In michigan our plates aren't class specific they are only commercial and non commercial a van is registered as a van, an suv is registered as an suv and a truck as a truck...

My IQ went down a couple points after reading that.

both trucks and cars are automobiles, just different categories.

look at it like this..

AUTOMOBILES
........>Cars
...............-Wagon
...............-Coupe
...............-Sedan
........>Trucks
...............-Pickup
...............-Van
...............-Sport Utility
