That is the worse thing anybody can call my 4Runner. Whenever somebody call it that, I tell them that it can't be a Jeep because it is not on the back of a flatbed.

It's a frickin truck!

Mark: they call it a Grand Cherokee because every time you bring it into the Dealer, it cost a 1000 dollars.

That is very true!

On the other hand, isn't that the cost to fill up our 4Runner's with gas?

Call it a truck cause it is a truck. As we all know it’s built on a truck platform body on frame. Not all trucks have beds just like this 4runner. Pickup truck are trucks with beds. But nobody gets into those little details cause who really cares. Lol. Call it whatever you want. I personally say truck cause thats what it is. You could say suv since it is that too but there’s too many wimpy little crossover unibody suvs on the market now and the term suv used to be rugged and durable but now the term suv people think of the soccer mom in a Ford Escape. I agree with most, say runner or truck.

Well I never refer to any of our 4 runners (3rd 4th or 5th) as trucks. They can't do truck stuff and definitely don't drive like a real truck. They don't have the power of the truck or the size and force of nature that a truck has. Truck guys won't accept the little 4 runner into their truck culture and when a truck pulls next to you and want to flex well you know you aren't in their category. When they are next to my Tundra well they look like what they are "an suv"...

SUV cause it's not a truck nor a car. My F250 is a truck.

This is what we say for reference at home.
I drive my pickup (top photo) and I drive my truck (next photo).
There is "Moms truck" (3rd).
Then we had "the white car", now inoperable (4th).
And as of two days ago, "the Jeep" (last photo) to replace the Magnum.

I had a 1988 4Runner many years ago, bought it new. My dad would occasionally ask me how my van was doing - LOL!

This is exactly why I call mine a truck. Plus, admit it, we all feel a little more bad ass calling it a truck and we'd feel a little more weenie if we called them SUVs or cars.

Plus, I can haul almost truck levels of stuff in my 4Runner, and with it's lift, it sits higher than a lot of stock pickups do.

I call it a truck because from a foundational standpoint, it's build like a truck.

When my wife worked Insurance, I had different companies often. About half called it a 'Toyota Truck 4runner'.

My pet name for my 4runner is "foreigner" since all our other street vehicles are Ford, Dodge, and now Jeep.

Body on Frame. I call it a truck.

The day it turns into a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Explorer, or Pathfinder I'll call it a crossover.
