"Van" - well, if all of the back seats are out and it's now an open cargo area, maybe yes. If you can put a 4x8' sheet back there, then definitely yes.
"Truck" - Body-on-frame? Then yes. Unibody? No.
I'd go with "UTVV" - "Utility Truck Van Vehicle" |
There's absolutely nothing sporty about a 2.2 metric ton car which is exactly as tall as it is wide (185cm ~ 6'1"), agreed.
4'x8' or 1.2 x 2.4 meters? Not quite. But I can fit a box 1.2m x 2.1m x 1m in there. Or one snow blower, most of my tools and a huge heap of firewood, which is the plan for next weekend.
And it's body on frame. Same frame as the D40 Navara, if I'm not mistaken.
So Utility Truck Van it is, I guess :-) Good name :-)

I call it "varebil" which is the correct term in Norwegian, and it actually says so in the registration papers (and the green plates are for varebil only). Means it's a 2-seat commercial cargo hauler.
