The trucks are Supercabs, that's a fact not an argument.

Oh we get it. This is an important distinction to you.

To virtually everyone else on the planet, you're shaking your fist at the sky about something that means exactly nothing. Is this really the sort of thing you find important in life?

What about Clubcab?

 

[Roert42]

2500+ it is known as "no longer available"

Do they really not sell four door 3500 and ups?

I feel like I see a lot of 4 door 550s with dump beds for landscape crews.

That's where you store the "Club Cadet"

okay okay okay. So my F350 Super Duty with 4 full size doors I call a quad cab is........

See this is where I start to get confused on it in normal conversation. The half door version is called a quad cab because of 4 doors.

Now if you say King Cab (Chevy) or Crew Cab (Ford or Dodge), the first thing I think of is full size back doors and don't consider the half door version.

This is just an example of proper terminology being specific enough for me to know exactly what you are talking about.

You can get a standard cab or a crew cab. No quad/extended cab.

Mega cab half tons... freaking weird.

Basically a 3/4 ton running gear, solid front axle/8 lug wheels and all with lower ride height and typical half ton payload/tow rating.

I’m going to buy these windows and adapt them to a GMC truck… then sell it to some unsuspecting sap.

Cab is short for cabriolet in some instances, not all
Cabriolet is a French word meaning "leap into the air"

The advent of 2 wheeled horse carriages is when these carriages got the name cabriolets because of the sudden movements and bumps experienced riding on the passenger seat

As these types of carriages were often used in cities for short term rentals or rides, cabriolet was shorten to "Cabs"

In 1900's cabriolet came to mean a type of 4 wheeled car, often a convertible in Europe


Cabin was/is a small usually private compartment on a ship
And now also used for a small private shelter/home usually rustic
But a cars passenger area is called a "cabin" not a cab
I think a truck's passenger area is called a cab because they are generally smaller than a car's cabin, so just cab

Although with some truck's suspension the whole "leap into the air" thing might be more appropriate

Both trucks and cars use cabin air filters.

I'll try speaking your language: let's say your wife wants to paint the bathroom "taupe". Do you know what that means without checking, or would you have understood more quickly if she said "tan"?

Oh no... you don't ever want to go there. Tan and Taupe are *not* the same in most women's eyes. you get tan and your wife will rail you because your shade of tan is not "taupe"

don't get me started on Mauve....

with that being said, my wife has been pretty good about that, and I let her pick the colors and we go with it lol

Carriage has been shortened to "car"

Truck comes from "Truckle - meaning wheel or pulley"


and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently, so I know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
