re: Why do so many people refer to SUVs as "trucks?"

Because most of them are built on truck chassis would be my guess. A Ford Expedition is just an F-150 station wagon.

Makes zero sense. Trucks have a bed. SUVs do not.

It would’ve felt weird referring to one of several Rodeos or my Tahoe as a car.

Damn, thought everybody knew this: Early on in the beginning w SUV's, insurance companies classed them as Trucks. It stuck.
It's that simple - it's an industry term.

I don't disagree, it is a tractor, especially that style, but they're most well known as trucks because I would assume many people would get confused and think the name tractor refers to one of these:
Most of my position is simply this; language changes over time and I think the word "truck" is continually getting applied to an ever wider style of vehicles because people have an idea of what a truck does and is used for, and if they feel their vehicle does truck stuff and is used for truck stuff then they're calling it a truck. Also, add in the Tiny Dicked Ones who have attached their identity to "driving a truck" and before you know it.......everything is a truck.

Pick up trucks have a bed. An El Camino has a bed, it's a car.
I call my wife's 4wd suburban a truck. Makes way more sense than saying "let's go kids, get in moms car" it's definitely not a car.

I do not refer to my suv as a truck, but I do refer to the gun inside of said suv as "truck gun" because "suv gun" sounds dumb.

Based on your down vote/up vote ratio, a lot of people here call SUVs trucks.
Posted on 4/27/24 at 6:59 am to Violent Hip Swivel
A lot of SUVs have a truck chassis.

We refer to our SUV as "The blue car" because we have a REAL truck....

I drove a car while I was at LSU and some of my buddies still called it my truck.

My two girls who are 8 and 4 refer to my wife’s (no pics) 4Runner as “moms car” so that’s what I call it when I’m talking to them about it. I just refer to it as the 4Runner otherwise.
I’d bet most kids call mom’s vehicle “mom’s car” more than anything else.
They call my F150 a truck tho.

I have a Bronco. What am I supposed to call it? It feels kinda gay to say "I gotta get something out of my Bronco"

generally, SUVs are body-on-frame and based on a pickup truck platform

Your vehicle?

Body on frame vehicles are usually truck based in the US. It’s basically a truck with enclosed area. Wagoneer/Ram 1500, Expedition/F150, Tahoe/Silverado, Sequoia/Tundra, 4Runner/Tacoma.
