They are not. F150, SUVs, Crossovers still selling. Headline was a bit off

[nodesocket]

Yes, I was making the point they would not stop selling trucks. Typical TechCrunch writing misleading headlines to get clicks.

Disagree. People who drive trucks do not consider them a subset of cars. That's why it's the automotive industry not the car industry.

This. Automotive industry media in general had me confused with the terms. "SUVs" are absolutely cars. Most utility vehicles are cars. Even "passenger cars".

Dumb terminology but TC is perfectly in line with the industry.

Not just them but my buddy calls his Jeep SUV a "truck". Some of this is history. I have an original Jeep Cherokee which is built on a truck platform. His is a Grand, which is built on a car platform. I'm always like, yours is a car, mine's a truck. Then I realize this is dumb to argue about. Just a bad headline.

The original Cherokee is unibody, just like the Grand Cherokees have always been. What truck body is your Cherokee built on?

It depends on the SUV in question. Old school body on frame SUVs are most definitely trucks. The jacked up cars with extra head room (Ford Kuga/Escape) are not. The only reason why those things are considered trucks at all is to game the CAFE emissions requirements.
