How do you refer to your vehicle in conversation?

Let's say you meet up with three friends...there are now four people and four vehicles.

You will all carpool to the next place.

You want to drive because, well, you have to coolest ride.

Which of the following most closely resembles what you would say:

A) "Hey..let's take my car!"

B) "Hey..let's take my truck!"

C) "Hey..let's take my SUV!"

D) "Hey..let's take my Escape/Mariner/Tribute!"​

Thanks.

A) "Hey..let's take my car!"

B) "Hey..let's take my truck!"

C) "Hey..let's take my SUV!"

D) "Hey..let's take my Escape/Mariner/Tribute!"

Thanks.

I've never used C... but, in frequency from more often to less often, A, B, and D.

None of my friends will refer to it as a cross-over though. To some of the more Ford-loyal, it's a truck. I mean, it did go through truck-based durability tests and all.

I'll almost always say: (B)

To me it's a truck. You wont find many cars going through muddy fields to go check on a fence, or bringing tools to fix another vehicle, and has tool boxes that stay in the vehicle permanently. I guess it depends on how you configure it. Mine is a utility vehicle, it stays muddy most of the time, I drive it everywhere, if it will fit inside I'll haul it, and I've even used the on board AC outlet to run a work light while I use the rear cargo area as a portable work bench.

I find SUV perfectly acceptable as well, but rarely use it is it's not as easy to say as "truck."

(D) would work, except the E/M/T's are way too common and have too many knock off's from other brands to really find it's niche. For example I use option (D) for my Bronco. There is a very specific image that comes to people's mind when you say Bronco, it's a Ford icon in off roading and was and still is very unique. I wish the Escape was as well, but I think it will fall victim to being too "crossoverish" especially so when the new generation comes out for 2011.

 

[stone]

I mostly say " My escape ".
On my car registration the government, classes it as a " Station Wagon ".

Manufacturer: FORD
Model type : Station Wagon

 

[Eddie95Z28]

I normally say car. But I have been known to call it my little truck.

 

[BurghBeagle]

Either "The Truck" or "The Ford."

 

[Rentz]

I'll usually call it a truck. Then I get ridiculed for calling it a truck, when it's "not a truck because it doesn't have a box on the back." I still call it a truck....

 

[RobtRoma]

I would just say "I'll drive."

 

[US MARINER 1]

I would say my truck

 

[Eryx-The-Escape]

Either truck or I use his name Ean. Mostly use Ean though.

 

[Surf_City]

E) Lets take my rig.

 

[oskerb]

I say "my Escape" Like those who have Suburbans, Excursions, etc.. they tend to call theirs by the name. "oh I got these new tire for my excursion..." or "Lets take my Burban..."

 

[SandSpiderII]

I call it a lot of different things. My car, my truck, my Escape. One of my friends calls my Escape the unarmored personnel carrier. Sometimes I also refer to it as my "high performance machine." eace:

 

[SUVord]

Car.

 

[KyMafia]

I say truck. It hauls hay, horse feed, my tack, and romps around the pastures checking fences. It probably works harder than most trucks anyways.

 

[pbw]

"Get in the 'bune", just some slang.

 

[kmoose]

Either "the Escape" or "car". Never Truck.

Raised on an Alberta ranch....the only definition of a truck in my mind is something you can haul pig sh*t with.

Considering the Escape is, at its core, a Mazda 6, I think "truck" is a stretch. Sorry.

 

[FRENCHY]

Which of the following most closely resembles what you would say:
