It might be called a car or a pickup truck but never just a truck by someone here. While "pickup truck" is an American inherited phrase which has truck in it, they're considered trucks about as much as a catfish is considered a cat.

Well yes, but someone without this knowledge will get confused.

Here is not America, to clarify. I was under the impression that Americans did consider pickups, larger SUVs etc, "trucks"
Generally, Americans consider what marketing tells us to consider.
