That's a tractor unit. That combined with a trailer becomes an articulated lorry (unless you're American, then it's a Big Rig).brightonfan_86 said:I thought you mean't this.

Truck is a very american word though, so I generally don't use it. Very much like the word Ute.
EDIT: Also a truck is another word for a bogey on railways.Like this...

That would depend where you are. Over here a lorry is a big vehicle whereas a truck is usually a pick up. A truck is also a railway wagon though as is a trolley.
In North America, a truck is anything that isn't a car, this includes SUVs but it depends where you are at the time. Ironically a People Carrier is a 'Van' whereas a a van as we know it is a truck.
Now there's thirty seconds of your life gone that you'll never get back.
