“light trucks” is a category that includes both things that are obviously “trucks” (F-150, Tacoma, Ram, etc) and things that no sane person would ever call a truck in casual conversation, but are classified as such by the manufacturer (Outback, CR-V, Odyssey, etc).
- ItendToDisagree 13y agoI think that has changed since 2006ish. Outback/CR-V, etc are now classified as Crossovers (at least for sales purposes). The light duty truck classification has to do with loaded weight rather than anything else as far as I remember... But maybe that has changed also?
- stephencanon 13y agoI thought I remembered something like that too, but when I looked around I found lots of announcements like the following (July 2013): "Honda light trucks posted record June sales on the strength of CR-V, Pilot and Odyssey”. (To say nothing of the absurdity that > 50% of Acura sales are “trucks”). http://www.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=7269-en http://www.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=7269-en
- ItendToDisagree 13y agoHaha that is pretty funny! And I thought somehow some minor semblance of sanity had been introduced. Fool me once... Point is can't get fooled again.
