OK, some folks want to call it a 'truck'.
Yup, looks like a truck to me. Same color as Don's too.

A "truck" can, fairly, be judged on its ability to tow a boat. A RAV4
is a girly "truck" suitable for hauling girly boats. What "truck" has
a maximum towing capacity of about 3500 pounds? Maybe a really small
Bayliner?
I am considering buying a Cu****er 28 inboard single Diesel cruiser.
260 HP Yanmar six, usual amenaties. Thirty three feet with the pulpet
and swim platform. A telescoping ladder over the bow to access a
beach. Probably close to 9000 pounds fully equipped with AC rev cycle
and a generator, as well as full fuel and water. Standard bow and
stern thrusters, optional wireless remote and optiional cockpit
mounted wheel and throttle. Hold it against the fenders with the
thrusters while you untie the lines. The head has a flimsy glass bowl
for a sink, attached at the bottom, not recessed and sure to break
right off if anyone puts any weight on it. The head door will not open
fully if the V berth is made up. So what do you need to haul it?
