A truck is a vehicle with four tires, a steering wheel and headlights. It is bigger than a car. Trucks come in a variety of shapes and colors, the design of which may vary based upon needs. A common truck is a pick-up truck, which has an open cargo area behind the driver and is ideal for tailgate parties. Enclosed trucks have also become known as sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Then there are trucks designed for mechanical needs such as flatbed trucks and tow trucks. Freight companies employ larger vehicles called eighteen-wheelers, or, tractor trailers.
A man named Jeff from the film Friday the 13th Part 2 drove a Chevrolet K10 truck. In the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film franchise, members of both the original Sawyer family and the re-imagined Hewitt family have used trucks on occasion. The Sawyers used a truck to antagonize two motorists, scaring the Bejesus out of them with Leatherface doing his dance on the flatbed while holding up the corpse of his late brother, Nubbins Sawyer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
In the Texas Chainsaw Massacre comic book series by WildStorm Productions, a member of the cannibalistic Hewitt family named Zeke Hewitt drove a meat truck, outfitted with hanging hooks from which to suspend sides of beef. This became a key point of action at the end of the series when Zeke was driving the truck with Leatherface in the back, and a captive reporter named Kim Burns. Leatherface tried to swipe at Kim with his prosthetic hand, but got it caught on one of the meat hooks. Kim was able to survive the attack while also using Leatherface's chainsaw to impale Zeke through the back of the truck's driver seat.
In the 1978 television movie Terror Out of the Sky, a man driving a flatbed truck is transporting a hive of killer South American bees. The bees escape and kill the driver.
