What is a truck?
 

I am on the coach and a little bored.

I get mad when some people call their SUV a truck.

My BIL called his Audi a truck.
I had a friend called his Ford a truck.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "Sorry boys, trucks are for girls" ON A JEEP COMPASS (with a man driving.
I own a Ram 1500 Pickup truck.

What is a truck? What is not a truck?

Don't get me started on a shed vs. barn
Drugs have nothing to do with this
Forgot the GAZ option-sorry

No, no, no, no, yes

Truck has a bed.

Just like anything you can't take the top off of is not a Jeep no matter what it actually says on the vehicle.

is a hot dog a sandwich?

The essence of a truck is transporting inanimate object [loads].

#5 has the most clearly delineated load area.
Any of the other four could qualify if the rearward area is open for load carriage. If it's filled with seats and kids and books and games, etc. It's an automobile or car.

It might be more concise to refer to the first four configured for load carrying as a transport van.

A pickup is barely a truck. 3/4 ton and up is getting warmer.

If doesn't have a bed or a way to tow, it is not a truck.

And the entire vehicle cannot be enclosed.

An SUV is not a truck.

Google images will give you your answer.

I call my Chev Tahoe a truck but 1 2 3 4 are not trucks.

A hand cart. Skateboard axle. What you do when it's time to leave. Interaction with a person or concept.
And 5.

Also, a non-passenger van is a truck.

Trucks are utilitarian.

Yes, I know what SUV stands for, but they are very limited in what you can utilize them for.

SUVs are just glorified station wagons.

No but Harrison Ford is a hotdog
