I had a VW based dune buggy with a 36HP motor and no bumpers and it

Maryland and Nova Scotia/Canada share vehicle definition criteria or is
this just more of your "same same" delusion?


How do you rate a closed SUV as a truck? Where is the load bed? In
California, if was rated as a truck, would pay extra for commercial plates,
unless all you hauled was suitcases.


Perhaps you should take that up with the government of Nova Scotia or
Canada, since it bothers you so much, eh?

Hmmm. My old SUV shared a chassis with the Toyota truck. If you put a
cap with windows and a door on the back, the truck was very much like a
"closed SUV." Words, they'll really **** you over, Woz.


Did your "truck" have a truck bed?

Same way you call a van a truck.


If you have a van without side windows in the back, then is a commercial
plate van.

You miss the point, Swill.
I don't rate it as a truck...Toyota does as do the Nova Scotia Registry
of Motor Vehicles and my insurance company.
Now, I realize few of them were ever Silicone Valley engineers but they
seem confident in their ratings.
I just call it my Highlander.


Still not a "truck".

Too frippin' funny. Poor Calif Woz, done in by his inability to think
outside the box.


Looking at Toyota advertisements, they call it an SUV. Nowhere did I find
them calling the highlander a truck.

Our gas is 96 cents a liter right now.

That would be almost $4US a gallon and we are paying less than $2 in
Ft Myers.


1.82per gal in Effingham IL today. And that's whith gobs of taxes applied per gal. too



And not only that, but Effingham has an ugly steel cross that its
sponsors believe is one of the "largest" in the United States, 198 feet
tall, making the town a "must see" for, well, I suppose, cross lovers
looking for cheap gasoline.


I don't know why you say it's "ugly" when it's actually quite beautifully maintained with a great access and lawn surrounding it. say it's a "must see" unless you're traveling down that 4-lane, then it really is kind of hard to miss it.

http://www.effinghamil.com/sites/def...?itok=W-6aJiS_

But it's way out of town and not in shight of the cheap gasoline stations.

But criticize all you want Harry, neither you or any organization can do anything to remove it. It's been tried by individual lawsuits many times over.

My old SUV had a large flat area behind the front seats that certainly
could be called a truck bed.

What happened? Head injury or did you just forget everything. We are
seeing you reading at the 3d grade level and writing at the 7th grade
level.
Your posts are non-responsive and not particularly well thought out.
Typically they are just grade school insults and random brain farts
having little to do with what you are responding to, even when it is
quoted.
I know you use the excuse that you simply do not care enough to do
better but we start to wonder if you are even capable.



It's because he can type faster than he can think. Finger muscle memory

I think the difference in modern vechicles is body on frame versus
unibody construction. The 4Runner is body on frame, which is a truck
chassis. Small vans are usually of unibody construction ... car chassis
basically.
