Most of the time when referring to mine it’s “the Rubi”’ or my rig, when referring to others it’s Jeep , wrangler , or rig. NEVER say car. It’s a tell tell sign of Jeep noobieness ..:LOL:
Just kidding............no really, don’t do it...:)

If you are the type of person who’s bothered by someone calling a Jeep a “car” I’d suggest it’s highly likely there’s more wrong with you than them. Are we still in kindergarten? Do you also crucify anyone who calls a tomato a vegetable? Try a Snickers; you’re not you when you’re hangry.

I don’t really care what anyone calls it. I do care when I see an angry eyes grill though!

At my job there are several Jeep Wrangler owners of various models and generations. Probably half to three quarters of them have those “angry eyes grills” added to them. The first time I saw one I thought they looked unique and pretty cool but now because so many Jeep’s have them, to me, it’s now to trendy and a fad of a thing to do.

I was watching a YouTube guy that lives out of his Jeep Wrangler year round. I got some great ideas from him for doing certain things to my JLUR when it comes in. However, I found myself getting really annoyed because he constantly referred to his Wrangler as his “car”. I’ve always referred to cars as cars and trucks as trucks. And even SUVs as SUVs. But then I got to thinking about Jeep Wranglers specifically. They don’t really meet the definition of any of those things. Other Jeep’s do as SUVs and Gladiators do as trucks but it got me wondering what Jeep Wrangler owners refer to their Jeep Wranglers as? So, what do you all refer to them as?

I don’t call it a car. It doesn’t bother me when someone does, it just helps me distinguish some from others.......🥴

I say car... Because to anyone who's wrangler isn't part of their identity, that's what it is.

They're MPPVs (Mutli-Purpose Passenger Vehicles.)
At least, that's what my old Wagoneer was designated on the ID plate.
The current vehicle is usually referred to as Gladiator, or Jeep.
But not, "Truck," (that's my SuperDuty,) and certainly not, "Car."

"My Jeep" , "the Jeep". I never use the generic word "cars" becuse my Jeep is not a car. Instead l use the generic phrase "motor vehicles"

Anyone remember when Jeeps, Broncos, Blazers etc were called RVs? They used to offer RV cams for low end grunt and RV/Flotation tires. All the tires 30” or taller and 9.5” or wider were flotation sizes. The things I remember from the Sears and JC Whitney catalogs.
