Ah, I had made it Cadillac Avalanche...but I have changed it to Chevrolet Avalanche. What is it called then? Ah, Escalade EXT? -- Last edit: 2007-02-16 15:46:41 |

Should the EXT be classed as a pickup or SUV? It's basically an Escalade ESV SUV that has the rear part modified into pickup section. Plus there the probability that NOBODY uses it like a pickup truck. |

But G-MANN to me, i think this is a probelm we have with a few SUV, they are pick ups but still SUVs, so what should they be classified under? |

On Wikipedia they class the pickup version as a pickup rather than SUV. |

FWIW: In most of the US States this & the Avalanche,but especially the Escalade ESV is considered for regisration/titling purposes as a 'Passenger Car'? |

Considering a pickup is any vehicle with open rear cargo bed on a unit chassis, I'd say it's a pickup. The pickup version of an SUV is still a pickup, IMO. |

I agree - a pickup is a pickup. It's a body style, and this is an Escalade in a pick up body style. |
◊ 2007-12-08 22:22 |
There are still some SUV with removable top (but then it could not be considered as pickup because the open part is not really cargo area I guess?) |

If you mean the "fun-topped" Vitaras, Fronteras and the like I don't think they fit the definition of the pickup. -- Last edit: 2007-12-08 22:27:29 |

That's right but then, not every pick up is a SUV either, then, should SUV pick ups be listed as SUV or as pick up? |

I was thiking to that: /vehicle_6049-Ford-Bronco-1985.html, which looks like a pickup -- Last edit: 2007-12-08 22:40:23 |

Well, it still falls in the "fun-topped" category to me. |
◊ 2007-12-08 23:17 |
That's not a pickup at all, with a pickup, the cab is seperated from the cargo area. That Broncho in American Pie 2 is a convertible 4x4 or "fun-top". |

Anyway, I reckon the Escalade EXT should be listed as an SUV because it's only a body variant of an SUV design, rather than a purpose-built pick-up. |
◊ 2007-12-08 23:36 |
I agree on that but then, what about other SUV pick ups?? what should be named pick up and what just SUV? |
◊ 2007-12-09 00:02 |
I disagree with G-MANN - many SUVs were created as body variants of pickups, so does that make them pick-ups? Also, many car-based pickups (El Camino or Skoda Pickup for two rather different examples) do not have the cargo bed visually or construction-wise separated from the (uni)body, but are still pick-ups. |
◊ 2007-12-09 00:08 |
All the other EXTs on this site were already listed as SUVs. |

Time to change that, I guess - a body style is a body style. A wagon based on a sedan is still a wagon. |
