Brake fluid in power steering?

I did have my truck at home several times. It had a 12.7 litre engine... It was a VW, as in Volvo White.

I sometimes confuse people when I say 'bike' 3 of my bikes have engines, 2 have pedals.

Anything with 4 wheel drive can be called a 4x4. For example a F150 4x4 is a four wheel drive, a 2x4 is two wheel drive. A pickup has a bed in which you can theoretically carry stuff like 15 bales of hay. Many never carry anything heavier than a six pack of beer.

SUVs started as passenger vehicles built on a light truck frame. That had to do with EPA fleet mileage requirements. Light truck requirements were lower than those for sedans.

Some SUVs are no longer on light truck frames but they still tend to be big and ugly.

If someone says '4x4' it's probably a pickup. Or 'ute' for the kangaroo crowd.

Sometimes...

fwiw, a set of doubles is a pain in the ass. Some people can back them up but I never could. No matter how you plan the s*it you need to unload is always in the front trailer.

Err, no, they are not. A truck can have as few as four (4) wheels or more than 24, depending on whether you include wheels on the trailer(s).

Are you trying to say this is not a *truck*;

Depends on your definition. Yours is wrong and too limiting. Type *long pants* into google and see what you get. Educate yourself.

We use the term *ute* to describe such vehicles.

Yeah, that's long been a cause of confusion. Basically, it occurs through laziness - too lazy to use the word bicycle or motorcycle to differentiate. ;-)

That makes sense. Pickup to me suggests it has a crane to lift another vehicle onto the back, like a rescue vehicle.

I say bike or motorbike.

That is not what I think of as "VW".

Yes, that's a real truck, but don't yanks have the habit of saying truck to be short for pickup truck?

Just as we told a German engineer that was at the plant I worked at. Told him to speak Southern. He said he spokeperfect English, which he may have, but he still needed to learn Southern.

That was after he wanted a torch and the mechanics carried an oxygen/acelean torch to him, but he wanted what we call a flashlight. One of the hand held lights that works on batteries.

I'm in the UK, therefore speak correct English.

Not if what you just wrote is any indication of the level of *your* ability with the English language.

That's one way to do a tow truck. Not a very common way now.

Not always, most obviously with dump trucks etc.
