Need help solving a debate. Is a full sized SUV like a Tahoe or a Expedition that is built on a truck frame with the same engine a truck or a car? It's a poll for the people on Tapatalk.

I agree with Brewgun. If it doesn't have a bed, I don't consider it a truck.

Hard analogy to go by. I don't see any S10s or Rangers pulling a 30ft camper. There are plenty of trucks pulling aircraft, trailers, and campers with no beds on them...they are very much trucks. That being said, a Suburban is built on a truck frame(Pickup) and in NY is registered as a Sport Truck

If you have for example a z71 4x4 Tahoe that has a lift and mud tires on it and you were looking to replace thos mud tires with new ones would you consider that buying mud tires for your car or your truck?

Even just stock Tahoe or Suburban tires are truck tires. Hell, my Explorer has truck tires...because they are trucks.

They are SUV's. Sport utility vehicles. Designed to do what a truck can with all the comforts of a car. So NO they are not a truck and NO they are not a car. They are the best of both worlds.

I don't remember the last time you could fit a four wheeler in the back of an SUV.

What you guys are talking about is a pickup - one for noncommercial use. Trucks are larger, and a Tahoe is neither. I don't care what kind of tires you put on it or how how much lift is on it. There is a guy here that put a '78 Lincoln on a 4X4 pickup frame with 38" swampers, it ain't a truck is it?

Precisely. I also don't know where to hook up my gooseneck trailers to em either.
I would never own one but I know you can hook to a trailer and tow with them you can put snow plows on them but to carry anything bulky you have to have a trailer.

I should have said pickup, not truck. As we are talking about pickups here. I agree them being on a pickup frame some may consider them trucks,but I do not. You can't haul four wheelers or bulky items in the back like you can a pickup. That being said I don't consider them cars either. They are a good mix of the two, but can't do all the things that a pickup can do.

I agree technically its a pickup truck but here in America we've normalized the term truck in place of pickup truck.
Also a pickup truck is still a type of truck...

Like the camper shell? Have it mainly for snow up there? I've looked at them but would only be happy to have it a few months out of the year, I think
