Calling the Prado a "truck", it's not a truck. Another Americanism creeping in.

A bloke on one of our sites kept talking about his 'truck' and we then found out it was a Suzuki Sierra. A 4wd is not a truck.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

Speaking of Trucks, I am supposed to be on holidays, so why was I pushing 48 tonnes up and down the road yesterday. Also on trucks, toggle shift gear changes tick me off, real trucks have a roadranger!
The Prado is not a truck, as previously stated, real trucks have a roadranger gearbox

I have always wondered why some people call 4WD's a truck. Is it supposed to make them sound like they are really "tough"? I call mine a Prado, because that's what it is.2004,GXL V6 Auto.

Today, I was verbally abused and was "bird-flipped". Why? Because I was inconsiderate enough to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, and the poor diddums behind me lost a precious 5 seconds of his day. Gee, there are some tw@ts out there.
Maybe I a fuddy-dud. I actually stop at stop signs and red lights, give way at give way signs, and stop at pedestrian crossing.
