It is most definately not a fkn wagon. It may look like a wagon in stock form. I would call it a truck before a wagon. I've been guilty of that too. Its really an suv if you wanna get technical.

Jeep is the name....and pulling ur dumba$$ out is her game.

You realize that the FSJ Cherokees, Grand Wagoneers, and XJ Cherokee/Wagoneers were station wagons way before anybody came up with the term "SUV" right? They're still registered as such in some states.

I'm proud of that wagon tag, not many people drive station wagons anymore. it's nice to feel different.

Well, sorry but it is a station wagon, I didn't see any post calling it a fkn wagon, and unless it has been cut so it has a bed it isn't a truck. As for the SUV if you wanna get technical, maybe the later years were called SUVs but in my state my 93 is registered as a station wagon not a truck.

Like I stated, call it a Cherokee, a Jeep or a wagon, much better than calling it a truck anyway, my truck is for transport and work, hauling and pulling, my Cherokee is for FUN.

my way off thinking:

-stock
car/ station wagon/ or jeep

-lifted (mild)
car/ station wagon/ jeep/ or truck

- lifted (aggressive)
lifted wagon/ JEEP (not jeep)/ or truck

personaly il call anything that has either solid axles front and rear or a box a truck..... (as for the hauling manour comment from earlyer i have a little trailer i use for such events amoung others)


i get car from some people, i get jeep from others, every now and then i get truck,,,,,, i never get station wagon but i like telling people thats what it is anyways,,,, but more often i just get "awsome"

yeah, i forgot about that. I remember when i was a kid that my sister had a 79 cherokee and we joked about the registration saying it was a wagon.

To me "wagon" is a derogatory statement. Hence "fkn wagon". it was acceptable years ago but for me its an insult. To me the AMC 4x4 eagle wagon was/is a wagon. Our jeeps look nothing like them,obviously.

I've never had anyone refer to my jeep as wagon,ever. jeep, truck...yeah. but never a wagon. I guess it just depends on where you live and thats fine with me.

i actually like using the term wagon, because you can shove it in peoples faces as in "how does it feel to get pulled out by a station wagon" or "your wrangler just got showed up by a station wagon"

I get this conversation a lot. I like to compare the whole argument to calling oranges, apples. We all drive vehicles, fruits, and there are different types of fruit. You don't call our jeeps, cars just like you wouldn't call a pear, a banana.

And to throw stuff in the wind, not all trucks are pickup trucks lol. Technically, our jeeps are light trucks. That being said, my registration says "Sport Utility", SU son!

My mom used to call it a car all the time. My dad(who owns a jeep) calls it a truck. Most girls call it a car and most guys call it a truck. My close friends know to call it a jeep. By if someone doesn't call it that, I don't worry about it too much. I've called it a car before lol

In jersey it's actually cheaper to register my "station wagon" than an suv.. So i'm all for that...

I know my zj was registered as a station wagon. I can't remember if my XJ's were. I'll have to check the title
