In what country does “truck” refer to an SUV? I’m in America and I assumed at least a pickup truck.

Which is the same size basically

A pickup has a bed and can carry much more rice than an SUV. I have no idea why anyone would assume they meant an SUV.

Pickup trucks and SUVs are both classified as light trucks. Also most of them are built on the same frames

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

And this is reflected colloquially? Like, people straight up call SUV’s “trucks?” People think of SUV’s first when someone says “trucks?”

Some people do call suvs trucks. Not sure if anyone thinks of an suv first tho

In many places, there's no perceived difference between an suv and a pickup truck. Nobody uses a pickup truck for actual work related activities, so they're both essentially the same thing with different shapes.

Not everyone is as deep into the SUV/pickup game, especially when you're from a country where they're not popular. Like, I'd only have a vague image of each, without your explanation here...
