I was thinking about this last night and got thinking that Greg's truck is a
more real representation of "truck" than Randy's. Greg's is really a scaled
down medium duty truck while Randy's is an SUV with ambitions. ;)

I do actually have a REAL truck, a crew cab HD F-250 powerstroke 7.3, and can
clearly see the difference between that and the M-class. Nonetheless, the W163
is also different from the fleets of crossovers and 4WD unibody cars out there.
It was you that took issue with Kaleb calling it a truck, I was just pointing
out that he was correct by common usage. I promise that I was not hurt by you
denying the truckness of the ML :-)

Life is funny.
You seem determined to define your Mercdes as a "truck".
On the other side of that scenario, I recall that we had friends, many years
ago, who were insulted when I referred to their full sized Chevy Blazer as a
"truck".
