Do you call your cruiser a "car" or a "truck"?

Lovingly refer to it as “FAT GIRL”.
Think of that aunt that gives the biggest and best hugs.

One thing I like too is the manual emergency brake which, can actually be used in an emergency. Pretty much all new vehicles have electronic parking brakes and that's all they are good for. Your brakes go, you only have downshifting to help slow you down.
You would think the safety cult (gov't, Nanny's, and Karen's) would insist on keeping a real emergency brake as a requirement.

We had to watch the grandkids.
Wife ask for the FAT GIRL to be washed and brought to her.

I call it a truck just rolls off the tongue better. Had a 2000 GMC Safari van it was titled in Oklahoma as a pickup, I thought they had screwed up but nope considered a pickup by Oklahoma tax commission.

The free state of PA considers it a station wagon for registration purposes - saving some tax and registration fees. I generally use the term truck when referring to it in the third person, lol.

As pointed out earlier, what the states call things is pretty random, and not necessary for us the owners to follow.
The states put all kinds of crazy stuff onto titles, due to either mistakes made by the issuing office, or due to local state registration / limitations of available wording when checking boxes on forms / etc.
Over on a British classic car forum people get confused all of the time by strange things that were on their title, incorrect year of manufacture for instance, and don't realize its just a mistake and doesn't mean all that much other than making them order the wrong parts if they don't do their homework about what they actually own.
