Is it a "Truck"??

[JohnnyBronco]

I think DOT would call it a light duty truck or SUV.

There are at least 50 different DOT and that many variations on registration. One state might charge the same as a minivan, the one next door equal to a 6 wheel wide body 1 ton

I was speaking of the US DOT, which is who sets federal standards. The states are cray cray.

Ford also considers the MachE a Mustang, so that shows what they know about classifying things.

They did that I swear because it is a sedan not a real SUV and the coporate office declared they were out of the sedan business except for Focus and Mustang. If they had called the Mach E a Taurus we would have called them liars

Are people referring their Bronco as a "Truck"? Just curious.

drives like a truck to me

I'm pretty sure that the place that makes the thing gets to call it what it is.

But I'm gonna call it a Bronco. If pressed further, I'd call it an SUV, since that's what Ford calls it.

It's a f%#^ing Bronco people!

Depending on context I oscillate between truck and SUV.

Like others have said, it’s a Bronco.

Step up to get in = “truck”
Step down to get in = “car”
Wait indefinitely to get in = “Bronco”

It’s a car and a truck. A cuck, if you will.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Not that it matters, but I drive trucks and cars, ride bikes, fly planes.
When I tell my dog to get in the truck, she’s smart enough to figure it out.
Some people though…

It's definitely not a car like people refer to it as.

I keep referring to it as a truck - since I drove tiny VWs all my life. But, NY DMV considers it a “Suburban”.


Definition of "Suburban (SUBN)"

My vehicle is listed on my registration as "SUBN" for "suburban." What do the word "suburban" and the vehicle body type code "SUBN" describe?

The term "suburban" is the term used in the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law to describe the body type of a vehicle that:

• has windows on the side in the rear, and
• has seats in the rear that can be folded or removed so the vehicle can carry cargo.

The law defines a suburban as a vehicle that can be used to carry passengers and cargo. Vehicles that can be registered with the suburban body type include station wagons, sport utility vehicles, hearses and ambulances. The body type code for a suburban that appears on registration documents and records is SUBN.
Other common body types and codes for vehicles registered in the passenger vehicle class are Sedan (SEDN), two-door sedan (2DSD) and four-door sedan (4DSD). A sedan is normally designed to carry passengers and does not have rear seats that can be folded down or removed to carry cargo.
The registration class and weight of the vehicle determine the amount of the registration fees. The body type does not affect the registration fees.

If it’s body on frame and has true 4wd it’s a truck, end of story. You could throw a transfer case in a Crown Vic and I’ll still call it a truck

Body on frame, it's a truck...

So by your logic this is a truck.
