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

Subaru Forester

....and so on.

Are all these vehicles 'trucks'?
