A truck is a large, powerful, type of general-purpose automobile built for carrying heavy loads. Typically they have a forward cab and engine compartment with a rear open box or cargo box used for carrying loads.
Even larger, more specialized trucks, known as semi-trucks or tractor trailers, are designed for towing significantly larger loads.
