Is a SUV or Van a truck?

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.

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?

a truck is a truck, a car is a car, a van is a van and an suv is an suv.... what is so hard about that concept

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.

Re: Is a SUV or Van a truck?

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.

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...

both trucks and cars are automobiles, just different categories.

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