Types of Vehicles Explored
I looked at four types of vehicles.
Truck
A truck is simply the vehicle with a comparatively large engine raised body, and of course, the most defining characteristic which is the storage bed.
SUV
An SUV is a vehicle that has a capacity to go off-road, typically larger than a car, has two to three sections of seating, and no bed like a truck. It will always have four full sizes doors at a minimum.
Van
A van is a vehicle made only for paved roads. It's defining characteristic and purpose is that it accommodates comparatively more passengers than any other standard vehicle and typically comes with a large sliding door.
Car
A car is the most common type of vehicle and like the van is only made for paved roads. Cars typically accommodate 2 to 4 passengers and have 2-4 doors. They are the smallest of all vehicles that are typically enclosed. This excludes motorcycles.
