Same as say a ford escape. A caruck..... Half car - half truck.

El Camino and Ranchero would be a car to me, as would a Suburu Brat. All use a single piece body instead of a cab + bed. Problem solved.

Ford Escape is a smaller version of the Explorer. The Explorer is built on the Ranger chassis just as the Expedition is built on the F-150 chassis, so the Escape would still be considered a truck (albeit a very small one). The Explorer Sport-Trac shows the truck roots of that line of SUVs much better BTW.

I guess I always thought of a lorry as being a panel truck or small, single-bodied flatbed, basically the size between a pickup and an 18-wheeler.

The Escape is a unibody vehicle, no real frame, so in your own definition trotter, the escape is a car

 

[Trotter]

And the Explorer and Expedition (and Excursion as well) are also uni-bodies, but use a truck chassis.

Yha they've got frames ... Escape doesn't, and is also full time fwd.

But anyway.... Does seem the companies covering the guys *** well. Makes you want to work there doesn't it...

an escape is called an SUV here.
