A pickup truck is a light motor vehicle
-- popular mostly in rural areas -- with an open-top rear cargo area separated from the cab to allow for chassis
flex when carrying or pulling heavy loads.
Pickup trucks can have a number of cab styles like the Standard
Cab,
Extended Cab (super cab), and Crew Cab (double cab or quad cab) and can also
include
various bed styles including the short bed, long bed, step-side, very short bed,
and
even no bed (for some commercial trucks).
“Sport truck” emerged to define trucks that have had significant performance
upgrades and modifications.
The compact pickup -- introduced to North America in the 1960s by Japanese
manufacturers. Datsun -- is the most
widespread form of pickup truck built like a mini version
of a two-axle heavy truck, with a conventional
cab, a leaf spring suspension on the rear wheels and a small V6 engine.
Compact trucks sold in the US market include:
Ford Ranger ,
Mazda B-Series ,
Chevrolet Colorado/Gmc Canyon
A full-size pickup--sold
in four size ranges - ½ Ton, ¾ Ton, 1 Ton, and now 1 1/2 ton.-- is
a large truck suitable for hauling heavy loads featuring doubled rear tires.
and referred to as "duallies" or dual-wheeled pickup trucks.
Full-size trucks used for general passenger use, until recently, were
built only by "Big Three" American automakers (Ford, GM and
Chrysler)
