Always makes me laugh when it ****es people off on the forum and you get the "it's not a truck" post almost as pointless as the "use the search button" post. The fact is people don't want to trawl through other threads to find out what opinion was given ages ago about a similar question when it's faster to start a new thread. Equally Land Rovers are trucks, according to most published definitions, so people should feel welcome to use the term and those that take offence should go and cry in a corner and get over it, tw@ts!
You volunteering to answer every tyre question then?
Well done for stepping up
If I read a question and have an answer I would give it, probably just as quickly as some idiots take to say use the search button.
So most of us know that we can't call our Landy's "truck's". It's clearly frowned upon amongst Landy enthusiasts and you will be laughed at by them if you use the term "truck" when referring to a Landy or similar... Yet most Americans call their 4x4s "trucks" and it's perfectly acceptable/normal over there. Nobody would think anything of it. Do the same over here and people would think you've lost the plot. But the question is, why?
We need a better general term to describe 4x4s. "four by four" is too much of a mouthful when said aloud. "car" isn't really very accurate and "Landy" isn't general enough. What about those who drive slittys? Most people in the UK don't know what a "SUV" is and you can hardly call a 90 a "SUV" anyway! So what can we use as a general term to describe them? Trucks are generally perceived to be big and powerful and designed to haul stuff. That's cool, no? So why don't we just call them trucks?!
"truck1 [truhk] Show IPA
noun
1.
any of various forms of vehicle for carrying goods and materials, usually consisting of a single self-propelled unit but also often composed of a trailer vehicle hauled by a tractor unit.
2.
any of various wheeled frames used for transporting heavy objects."
if you don't like the humour here simple really #### offIf I read a question and have an answer I would give it, probably just as quickly as some idiots take to say use the search button.
