Looking closer at these, they do seem to be a stylized pickup. Should they be moved here from car? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:16, June 12, 2025 (EDT)
- According to the article, they are labelled directly in-game as "car". I imagine that's the reason they are covered in the car page. — Lady Sophie

- They have the body styling of a three-wheeler pickup so I think they should be mentioned. Still, they kind of remind me more of auto rickshaws rather than trucks.

Shouldn't we move this to truck on account of it being an in-game name? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 07:22, June 14, 2025 (EDT)
- As far as I can tell, this current name is conjectural, so it should be changed, yeah. The name of this page and of cargo truck were decided via this proposal. In the comments, the proposer originally agreed that "truck (pickup)" was an acceptable name, so I don't think moving this page would require a proposal. Before moving the page I would like to at least know what Mario Kart World calls the pickup trucks, cargo trucks and driveable cargo trucks, if any distinction is made there. — Lady Sophie (T|C) 07:55, June 14, 2025 (EDT)
- This is a case that I think trying to find a precise name Nintendo has given for this subject is to the detriment of searching for it. Most users that want to find particular information of pickup truck, a term used for any medium-light truck with a cabin and cargo bed, will search "pickup truck". It's clear they refer to these vehicles as "trucks" in shorthand (which casual speakers also do), but the best terminology for these is pickup truck or pickup since truck is such a wide term for vehicles that transport things, and it includes

- The suggestion was to move to "Truck (pickup)", not just "Truck", so that solves the ambiguity problem while matching official terminology more closely. And I don't think liking a fan name more than the official name means it should take priority. Hewer
