Truck

A truck is a vehicle with four tires, a steering wheel and headlights. It is bigger than a car. Trucks come in a variety of shapes and colors, the design of which may vary based upon needs. A common truck is a pick-up truck, which has an open cargo area behind the driver and is ideal for tailgate parties. Enclosed trucks have also become known as sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Then there are trucks designed for mechanical needs such as flatbed trucks and tow trucks. Freight companies employ larger vehicles called eighteen-wheelers, or, tractor trailers.

Trucks, and other sorts of vehicles, play a large role in the Transformers multimedia franchise. The character of Optimus Prime is an Autobot who transforms from robot mode into an eighteen-wheeler.
