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? |

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

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". |

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. |

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. |

Oh, and I passed on the navy because I wasn't stupid and had the opportunity to go to college. You know, options. LOL. That's the same excuse that you claim Dick Chaney used! |

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