First of all (GENO!) an Oldsmobile Bravada doesn't qualify as a truck... it's too girly.
Second; NJ also has Pole-Smoking Governors, so what their license plates say means absolutely nothing.
Third; I'm with Dylan, the chassis dictates the type of vehicle...
Fourth; Allstate considered my 97 Z71 a "wagon" so what insurance companies say is tripe.
And FINALY --- A SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE IS NOT NECESSARILY A TRUCK. If you would consider a Hyundai Sante Fe, and Acura MDX, or a Lexus RX400 (or whatever the hell it is) or any of the "sport-cutes" a truck then you are a SERIOUS, limp-wristed fag.
However! I do agree with the Ford Ranger / Explorer, Chevy S-10 / Blazer, GMC Jimmy / GMC S-15 (Sorry Geno, Olds didn't make a truck version of the Bravada...
yours is a CAR...
)

See immediately preceding paragraph. And smack whoever you copied that bullshit from. Most "High-performance four wheel drive cars have axles that would burst into a million pieces if actually used in a manner for which they are marketed... let alone would they have the clearance to get more than about 15 inches off any paved surface.

By definition any vehicle that moves with it's own propulsion system is an automobile. Cars, trucks, vans, mini-vans, motorcycles, suv's are all automobiles. A van / truck is NOT a car, and an SUV can be either depending upon the chassis.... usually not when referencing an "SUV" produced by a foreign automobile company.
That being said... I consider a Pickup Truck or any variant a truck, and anything else a car / wagon / van depending on size.
My Father in law calls his Chrysler Town & Country a truck, but what does he know... he's from Michigan.
