Is there some definition of "truck" which this vehicle does not fulfill?

Yeah - ladder frame.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and a ton of older vehicles that are considered cars would fall into this category. Heck, a standard Jeep Wrangler would fall into this category.

Furthermore, there isn't any reason you couldn't make a truck (that is, a pickup) using a unibody approach, but I don't know of any examples (which just may be my ignorance).

Regardless - I always consider anything modern with a ladder frame to be a "truck". It may not be a pickup, but to me it's still a truck.

Longer bed, basically. It's the difference between SUV and truck. The B1 is closest to a 2 door Jeep Wrangler and those aren't trucks at all.

That's specifically a pickup truck. There are multiple kinds of trucks, and a pickup truck with a bed is only one kind of truck.

Remove the backseat and top - ultra-shortbed pickup!

My definition of truck: if you can't dump a ton of shit in the bed with a backhoe, it's not a truck. It's a minivan.

For me, having a permanent bed cover means it's not useful as a truck.

The bed cover's not permanent, though; it's removable per the pictures in http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1111790_bollinger-b1-the-...

It also has a recommended cargo weight of 6,000 pounds, so it can haul a ton (literally! and two more!) of shit.

This is really no less of a truck than a Ford Bronco or Dodge Ramcharger.

also don't consider those trucks

Thanks, I didn't look far enough to see that the bedcover is removable. Now this truck is an option for me.

That hilariously restrictive definition would have classified my old beast of an ex-military cargo vehicle as a "minivan", but I doubt you'd convince any onlooker to label a vehicle like this as anything other than a "truck":

So many people confuse "truck" with "pickup truck". A pickup is one type of truck. There are more types of trucks than just pickup trucks.

Yeah - technically. But this whole discussion is about the consumer space, not about those purchasing commercial equipment for hauling tonnage or whatnot.

Even so, though - there are plenty of consumer pickup models which are used commercially, and more than a few can handle some pretty big loads (especially towing)...

GVM > 4.5 ton is what makes a truck. Anything less is not a truck. 4.5 to 8 ton is light, 8 - 12 is medium, 12 ton an up is heavy for rigid trucks. That thing is a SUV.

Its GVWR is 5 ton.

It's a... series of tubes?

it is clearly a cheeseburger

A 360HP cheeseburger! Mmmm..
