Because of its ability to carry or haul heavy loads competently.

Beacause it is fun to tick off obsessive types.

I call it the X5. When someone says truck I picture F150 or Ram. A pickup. Truck.

In Australia we call these vehicles either SUVs or in general, four wheels drives (4WD).
I thought you guys called them Ute's. As in sport "UTILITY" vehicles.

A ute is what we call your Pick-ups over here.

But the X5 type vehicles are more commonly known as four wheel drives (4WD).

But hard core 4WDrivers call them Soft-Roaders, as they are not real off-road vehicles and have very limted off-road capabilities.
