    Default Chevy Truck Specs

    What do you consider a 'truck'? Does a Suburban count? What about if it's lifted? Big tires? Are trucks only those vehicle with a bed?

    I feel weird saying "Well, let me go hook up the trailer to the SUV and we'll get going" when referring to the Suburban... to me it's more of a truck.

    What say you? Any input?

    IN my opinion if it is on a truck platform it is a truck. S-10 blazer isnt a truck it is a blazer. 1500 up i consider a truck.

    I call SUV's trucks too. although I don't know the 'official' def, I know that s-10 blazers are considered 'trucks' by gm as well. But then again, what does that company know...

    According to Wilipedia; "A truck (American English) or lorry (British English) is a motor vehicle commonly used for carrying goods and materials."
    So many vehicles could fall underthat.
