I guess if you really want to go there, they started building production civilian Jeeps in 1945 with the CJ-2A...

According to my state, there are like...3 classifications of private vehicles, maybe 4. There is Pickup Truck, Passenger Car, and Station Wagon. There might be a 4th but I don't remember what it is if it still exists.

Guess where the Bronco, and ANY SUV, falls? That's right, according to my state it's a Station Wagon.

Same in Arizona too.

The 4WD Willys Jeep Wagon is often considered the first production sport utility vehicle. (1946)

The wiki piece you linked called that a predecessor to an SUV, it also mentioned 6 others produced prior to the Willys Wagon.

You're right, Toyota's do make it all the way to the finish line...

Unlike the Ranger I pulled out of the snow the other day.
