A light truck is a type of motor vehicle that's primarily designed for carrying cargo or passengers, but is smaller and less powerful than a heavy-duty truck. They are often used for personal or commercial purposes.
Here are some common examples of light trucks:
Pickup trucks: These are characterized by an open bed in the rear for carrying cargo.
Sport utility vehicles (SUVs): These are often built on a truck-like platform but have a closed passenger compartment.
Vans: These have a large, enclosed cargo area behind the driver's compartment.
The specific definition of a light truck can vary depending on the country and regulatory body. However, they generally have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of less than 8,500 pounds (3,860 kg).
