What is a vehicle with a cargo bed?
1 Answers
A vehicle with a cargo bed is a pickup truck. Introduction to pickup trucks: The term 'pickup' is a phonetic translation of the American word 'PICKUP', also known as a 'car-truck'. It is a light-duty cargo vehicle featuring an open cargo box behind the cab, with side panels integrated into the cab structure. Essentially, it combines a passenger car front with a cargo-carrying rear, serving dual purposes. Characteristics of pickup trucks: Pickups excel by merging the dual attributes of family vehicles and commercial trucks (passenger-cargo versatility), embodying distinct utility for both work and household use. Their design versatility caters to broader needs (available in two-door or four-door configurations, long or short cargo beds, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, and gasoline or diesel engines). Compared to sedans, pickups offer superior load capacity and off-road capability, while outperforming light and mini trucks in safety and ride comfort.
