Kalido Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hey guys I was watching tv when a commercial comes on for the Toyota Hilux, usual stuff. Half way through the ad the guy calls it a truck.... this really annoys me as I've been bought up to recognise this as a truckand this as a car Do you guys have similar views to me? I understand everywhere things are seen differently, in Australia we call that a Ute which I believe is the shortened term used for utility vehicle where some place like America call it a pick-up truck. What are your pet peeves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inthernet Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's a "pickup truck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheGamer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's just a thing that's different around the world. Where we live we call it simply a pick-up. I hate it when I google Truck, expecting to see lorries/semi trucks and getting pickup trucks Edit: And sorry, but what does "pet peeves" mean?

Darth Wazawai Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Pet peeves: daily life that annoys you, usually minor things that others do ea umm I wouldn't even call that picture a pickup as it prob can't carry it's rating easily w/o killing the paint... if it looks like a off-road vehicle it's neither a pickup or a truck... Remove the roll bars on the back I'd say it's a pickup. Personally I hate ads that claim their pickups at trucks... there was a gm commercial (I think) with their pickup in a weight station line pulling up to the scale saying you'll think you're in a real truck. That's ok as they are claiming reliability feel or what not. Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalido Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 It really annoys me when it happens, and egg-roll that is the car the ad was showing off as a heavy duty truck and I know Inthernet It still doesn't make me believe calling it a truck justifiable, hell the trucks in ETS2 are more like vans than trucks to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
