- Robert Ryan, you are going to have to get over the fact that we have different trucks for different uses and different terminology/classes for our trucks. No one here is getting mad at you for using Australian terminology for trucks and you should not get mad at us for using American terminology.
Also, using what people do globally as the standard does not apply here either. After all, only 35% of the world drives on the left side of the road. Does that mean Australia and others that do are wrong because most of the world drives on the right? No, so why do you chastise us for doing something that most of the world does differently?

They the Pickups are NOT Trucks term only used in NA,have some idea of what people use outside NA:(.. Only now in South Africa they have been selling Pickups they called them " Bakkies" south African Afrikkans slang for baking tin.
I've done a fair bit of traveling...while they may go by different local slang names, everywhere we've been, they know what you mean when you say "pickup" and yes they have them pretty much everywhere...and they aren't confusing them with peterbuilts.
Of course, if you want to play SEMANTICS...this is a thread about a PICKUP...which is shorthand for PICKUP TRUCK. So again, what peterbuilt pickup models do you know of?Cummins12V98 wrote:

Good job guys.
Best part, I had nothing to do with it. :B
It's like a mini vacation. Just sit back have a few beers and watch Elmer Fudd or whomever self destruct. Very entertaining.- Jealous?

I was just thinking the exact same thing.
Let me remind y'all again, it's a Ram truck owner boasting about the amazing accomplishment of Ram having achieved 100,000 in mileage.
The other past accomplishment was not seeing a mechanic or something breaking down past 7 days.spoon059 wrote:
