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

It's actually a tractor.

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.
