    I call mine a truck all the time. 4x4, body on frame vehicle. Now I don't go calling it a pickup truck because it isn't. Lol not all pickup trucks are registered as commercial vehicles. They aren't trucks either?

    And to be fair I'm not trying to instigate you or provoke you. Just want to hear a little more of your reasoning.

    And it isn't smart to pull a gooseneck with a 1500 either.

    Depends on the weight. Lot of flat bed utility trailers or aluminum horse trailers come in under 5k total weight as goosenecks

    Well that's sort of making the same blanket statement as saying that all SUV's are not trucks, or built like trucks. You're basically equating a Highlander and Rav4 to a 4Runner, Sequoia, or Land Cruiser, which is incorrect. The 4Runner is built on a truck frame, so are the Sequoia and Land Cruiser. To further that, they have real 4WD capability, unlike the AWD or FWD found in the Highlander or Rav4. There is a significantly greater towing capacity, along with a larger engine and beefier suspension designed for off road capability.

    I don't see a pickup bed here.

    And what do we call it? That's correct, a monster truck. Maybe you can petition with Team Gravedigger to change their vehicle description to a monster SUV.

    It's just nonsense. A truck isn't defined by it's bed or it's gooseneck capability, or whatever. A truck is a vehicle with a rigid frame that has off road capability

    so just had my timing belt replaced
    guy just called and said total was $845 extra $45 for toyota pink fluid + flush
    he also said timing belt looked like shit and water pump was leaking......
    for those of you waiting dont....its a very costly mistake.....
    he said my truck only has 90k, but 11 years and rubber degrades ......he said its hit or miss.....
    but is it worth the risk
    im glad i had it done
    whew.....
    now to finally lift it...

    you're getting far too in to detail that it is not a truck. Remember monster trucks were built on BigFoot. Which was an F150. Thus dubbing the name. But im sure you didnt want to mention it as it goes against your stupid argument that holds no water.
