It’s a pickup truck. And probably not used for anything a truck would be used for. They’re everywhere in America and just as annoying.
I personally don’t see the point in having a vehicle this big unless it’s used for work (hauling materials and towing trailers) And 95% of the time, it’s not.
You and me both. I had a 97 Dodge Dakota Sport, which is barely bigger than my CUV. I miss that thing. I hauler a fridge in it once to help my friend out. Haven’t had a need to haul a fridge since, but still, never know when a truck bed will come in handy lol. I just hate that the smallest size now is enormous. Even “sport” models are what used to be standard size anymore.
My deep dream is a revival of the El Camino but with current or next gen electric motors. Small with a bed for hauling larger items without the issue of fuel efficiency
Lol… I had to ask my gen z kid if he knew what they were… He didn’t so I showed him… Then I asked him, “car or truck”… He says car so that’s the answer from the future of America… 😂
LoL. Still to be fair from the front they very much look like a car and the chassis is probably more car than truck. It’s one of those weird in-between things but I suppose it is still better at carrying a load of whatever than a standard sedan.
Ah my bad, in Europe we don’t see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?

Yes that’s a pickup truck.

I wish the small commuter truck would come back but it’s a fools dream

Sport/compact trucks these days seem like they’re really the same size, just with rounded off styling so you get less useful space
I have a 2015 Tacoma, which I love. But I would much rather an ‘84 Toyota pickup.

Sounds like the exact equivalent of SUVs over here.
They are offroad-incapable offroad vehicles.
An abomination against god?
It’s a pickup truck. Often drive by assholes who like them but don’t need them
OftentypicallyYup. If it’s got a bed in the back for transporting stuff, it’s a truck. In this case, a short-box truck.
An SUV is basically like a tall 4-door sedan with hinged doors a hatch-back (if the rear doors are sliding, then it’s a van/mini-van)
So an El Camino is a truck?
An El Camino is a chariot of the gods. It transcends common labels.
Sorta.
The Chevrolet El Camino was a car-based light truck that Chevrolet offered from 1959–'60 and 1964–1987
It was also a train, according to Wikipedia :-)

For sure… Made for a funny discussion all around in my opinion though.
Also begs the question, what’s a Subaru brat or Baja then?
As the owner of a Subaru Baja, I call it an Ute. The short bed is useful to a point (hauling tanks of flammable fuel, etc) but not perfect.
If it’s not a body on frame vehicle, I wouldn’t call it a truck.
That is a truck or pickup truck or pickup.
SUV does not have a flat bed for cargo.
A pickup truck where I’m from.
I’d call it worthless. I could fit more in my prius than the bed of that truck.
