- nodesocket 8y agoYes, I was making the point they would not stop selling trucks. Typical TechCrunch writing misleading headlines to get clicks.
- whistlerbrk 8y agoDisagree. People who drive trucks do not consider them a subset of cars. That's why it's the automotive industry not the car industry.
- solarkraft 8y agoThis. Automotive industry media in general had me confused with the terms. "SUVs" are absolutely cars. Most utility vehicles are cars. Even "passenger cars". Dumb terminology but TC is perfectly in line with the industry.
- drag0nballz 8y agoNot just them but my buddy calls his Jeep SUV a "truck". Some of this is history. I have an original Jeep Cherokee which is built on a truck platform. His is a Grand, which is built on a car platform. I'm always like, yours is a car, mine's a truck. Then I realize this is dumb to argue about. Just a bad headline.
- thermalgobshite 8y agoThe original Cherokee is unibody, just like the Grand Cherokees have always been. What truck body is your Cherokee built on?
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoIt depends on the SUV in question. Old school body on frame SUVs are most definitely trucks. The jacked up cars with extra head room (Ford Kuga/Escape) are not. The only reason why those things are considered trucks at all is to game the CAFE emissions requirements.
