    Good. Good. I’m thinking of bay windows and a stainless steel plank for traitors.

    Shit, I don’t know, if I break a track I’m just gonna go out like the dudes in Fury when they blew a track.

    Definitely need to add a turret under the dump bed. Kind of a man cave with twin .50’s.

    You know how a lift with stock tires looks off? I don’t know about the .50s

    I’ll see your 50s and raise you an avenger. Forgot they were called that. Pretty rad.

    Well, I drove a KW most of my career and they always put me down as a truck driver in my employee records. That's all I'm basing my theory on. All that time they were lying to the IRS. :)

    I can vividly remember watching the A10s start a dive on a target and the sound the engines make when they throttle back. The jihadis scatter like roaches when they hear that shit. It’s an amazing sight.

    Sadly, I have not seen this. I have heard those cannons kick off though.

    And I require two of them now.

    Think the Aussies have it right...anything under a certain tonnage is a Ute...HiLuxes, Rangers, [Tacomas]

    IIRC anything over 1.5 tonnes is a truck (but don't quote me on that)

    Ute:

    Truck:

    Trar...

    The unibody vs body on frame is kinda rubbish, should be done by payload limits like how the Aussies do. According to payload the Ridgeline is more of a "truck" than a Tacoma then.

    I have hauled dirt in my old 1st Gen 4Runner with the top off.

    The House that Peterbilt.

    Or in South Africa...they call it a bakkie. kinda like that too.

    After being a heavy equipment operator, and even though I own a Tacoma I don't consider it a "real" truck, like most on here do.

    It’s an ORV in my head. I’ve used it as a truck. Even my first gen. But I don’t really consider them trucks how others do. I know it’s called a truck. But I don’t see it like that. It’s more like... a better Jeep.

    ORV's to me are strictly for offroad use only.

    I prefer to call mine a just a pick-up.

    Interesting on how the same thing is called different in other countries.

    Yep....if you throw enough money at a truck and make a strictly an ORV, then wadda call it, cause it can't be really be used as a truck no's mores...

    Prerunner.... :D

    I know it is a Ford, but I am an old Ford guy and this "truck" sounds ANGRY! :D :)



    Better throw a Toyota one in there too.
