When did a pickup truck become a "rig" ?

[Back Country Hunter 2]

Probably about the same time that "run" became in favor over words like use, wear, carry. @Back Country Hunter 2 has me all confused because he is running some pants, while running a sleeping bag, and running some boots, and running a tripod and just, everything is running in the same sentence.

Is there still a chance I can run your Swaro's during 3rd and 4th season? If so, I will pull the trigger on not using running and start USING things. Those bino's would be a real game changer.

I think rigs are the same as bro-dozers right?

 

[Poser]

Around the same time cops started referring to themselves as “operators”

You over did it there.

For the record, only swat bros do that....operator AF..

Where I'm at, a rig is typically a pickup or other 4x4. Pickups are specifically pickups and trucks have 10+ wheels. Been that way forever. Definitely not a bro thing.

Terms that bother me are “pulled the trigger” and “game changer.”

Is "punch the trigger" better?

I've heard guys say they were "loading up their rig" for decades, meaning they were loading up their truck. I've also heard it used in fishing as well.

Hah, yes. Much better!

I’m used to “rig” being an action...as in rig something up.

This was my truck when originally purchased:



This is my hunting rig (aka The Covered Wagon) after I rigged it out:

 

[Chordeiles]

Where I’m from........a truck is a truck, a Jeep is a Jeep, a car is a car and a rig is a semi.

Also we don’t “run” gear, we “use” it....and my mom was an operator when she worked for the phone company.

 

[NV HUNTER]

my mom (71 years old and from Montana) calls all of our trucks RIGS. LOL!

 

[Wmmichael20]

I'm willing to bet the brim on your hat is curved like a horseshoe.

as it should be!

The world isn't flat and neither is my hat.

only thing that belongs flat is the fenders on a jeep!

 

[Poser]

If you drive a rig, do you refer to yourself as a “rigger”?

 

[kiddogy]

way I see it , it don't much matter what you call it. it ain't gonna come anyhow.

 

[kiddogy]

one term that bothers me is when folks say they harvest a deer .
farmers harvest. hunters kill. I am not ashamed of my kills and believe it is sad when hunters are shamed into being PC.

another is when folks refer to their wives as their old lady. my wife ain't no old lady. sure she ain't as young as biden likes em. but she aint old either.

Horse drawn wagons were called rigs. It carries over to any vehicle today depending what region of the country you’re in.

In my opinion, a “truck” should refer to a semi. A pickup is what must of us drive and is what a lot people refer to as their “truck”.

They are called Pickups, trucks are 2 ton or better until you get to a semi. Marketing has everybody thinking they are buying a big mean truck instead of a pickup or if you drive a compact pickup we call those throwaways.

 

[Sccritterkiller]

I am from the south a truck is truck, a jeep is a jeep, and a car is a car. We run run different rigs when fishing for reds and sea trout. We kill critters and eat em. Hell we dont even "harvest" crops we pick em. We like our hat bills curved just like our women. I am sure as hell not going to call wife the old lady..she is referred to as the better half.

 

[Keedman]

Truck = stock truck/work truck
Rig= modified for some purpose be it stupid or not.
Semi=semi

Least that's how ive always seen it.
