Do you really call it a truck?

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!

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.

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.

Yep, I call it a truck...and I have an F150 too

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

I usually call it truck or 4runner

my buddy's got a Dodge Journey and calls that a truck without hesitation, which we all Laugh hysterically at

 

[patkelly4370]

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.

"Freddie", "the Runner", or truck...in that order. His full name is Fredrick Theodore 4Runner.

I’ve been calling it a car, but you guys are really making the case for “truck”. I’ll have to start practicing using the correct word!

Definition 1 in Websters Dictionary for the word "truck" is "A wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles"

Towing capacity of the v8 4Runner is 7,000 lbs- 4,000lbs more than the Tacoma.

I'd call it a truck.

Im just curious and bored, but when you refer to your 4runner, do you use the term "car" or "truck"? For example, if you were to finish these sentences, what would you say:

"OK, everyone get in the _______(car or truck)"
or
"I recently got a new _______(car or truck)"

Having owned cars in the past, the word "car" just seems to roll off my tongue when referring to the 4runner, however, I desperately try to say "TRUCK"!!!! (cause it really is).

I always call it a truck, or "the runner". I feel it's more deserving of being a called a truck, especially with what I've done to it now

Plus it's built on a truck-style frame (body-on-frame), and "car" honestly just sounds too puny for it

 

[Inv4drZm]

I've always called it 'truck' until I bought a Tundra. Now I've been trying out '4Runner'.

 

[jrm]

It's a "body on frame" construction instead of unibody...

 

[NicoBg]

well... here we call it.. MOTO xD
