Truck vs Not a Truck

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Isn't that that monstrosity labelled Austarlian truck is actually a road train? I would not say an articulated anything is a truck. its an artic ( short for articulated vehicle). A truck is a vehicle without a hinge in the middle with a single load carrying platfrom behind it, covered or open that cannot be driven on a car license. If you can drive it on a car license it is probably not a truck or you would need a truck license.

At least one car manufacturer is advertising utes as trucks in Australia now. It's a bloody disgrace to all that is Australian. Oh, sorry, all that WAS AUSTRALIAN.
