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)...
