OK, some folks want to call it a 'truck'.

Yup, looks like a truck to me. Same color as Don's too.

The real test of a 4WD vehicle is if you can plow heavy snow with it.
In the case of the RAV4, I'd guess not so much, or at least not for
very long.

The city plows our snow... except for the sidewalk & my driveway which
i can easily do with a sturdy shovel or my electric snowblower.

Uh, Donnie...when you mentioned Consumer Reports classifying your RAV4 as an SUV (and therefore, in
your opinion, a truck), you failed to mention some of the other 'trucks' they classified the same
way, like:

Nissan Rogue

Mini Countryman
http://static2.consumerreportscdn.or.../content/cars/...

Subaru Forester
http://static2.consumerreportscdn.or.../content/cars/...

...and so on.

Are all these vehicles 'trucks'?

It depends upon who is buying them and who is selling them. But, when
you go to register them you will find out whether you are registering a
truck or a car.

Since you brought that up, the Ford Ranchero, the Chevy El camino and
the GM Sprint were all registered as 'trucks'. Actually it seemed they
were station wagons with the back top lopped off.

hmmmm

My F-150 SuperCrew is a truck. It is a POV, however, Maryland still
treats it as a truck as far as registration. But, it is treated like,
not as, a car in all other respects.

What about an F-350 dualie?

The New York City area has a class of roads called "parkways" and
trucks are not alowed on parkways. The difference between car and
truck depends in part on the cargo area being covered. So if you
have a pickup truck with a cap it is classed as a car and OK on the
parkways.
