Ya, that's a relic of how even minivans used to be built on truck chasis. But now the old "truck" category has also got blown out, I think it used to be under a certain weight, but they kept bumping that up. By calling all these things "trucks" they avoid certain emmisions standards and I think safety ones as well.
