Give me a good reason why you call the X5 a "truck".

[KWP1911]

Because it's not a car.

[RickM5X3]

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.

[8ball]

I call it a truck; it tows just like my EXT plus I'm paying for it so there for I call it what ever I want

[Ninja]

we dont called truck in Oz, we refer X5 as family wagon, 4WD, or SUV.

truck connotes garbage truck, heavy machinery vehicles, etc

[Alan Smithee]

Because it weighs 5,000 lbs.

[wsybert]

Who cares, call it what you want. You paid for it.

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.
