ALL THIS IS FINE... but what makes a truck a truck? A pickup is obvious- but how bout a Subie Brat? ( for you youngsters, that is a 2 door Baja with seats in the bed) or a Baja? Lots of things like fuel & pollution regs. , saftey requirements depend on this designation, and the designation seems pretty arbitrary. I know manufacturers GO FOR a truck label so they don't have to meet certain expectations. Till recently, the seat belt laws in many places did not apply to trucks. In the Northeast, many streets are off limits to TRUCKS, and your license plate reflects the status of your vehicle(truck,car,RV,etc.). I like the (pick one) hatch back, 3 door, wagon name. But somehow, none of them really work, do they? LOVE THIS CAR just got home from uh, running it a bit.
