Anyone have a name for your tow vehicle or HiLo
 
We call our F250 the "tank." One reason is because it guzzles gas and is so big to drive with the extended cab and eight foot bed. I would have to call our 1990 HiLo"old faithful." It may need major repairs from time to time but it holds up in severe weather. Many times it holds up better than newer trailers.

Our tv ('07 speedway blue Tacoma) is BluTaco. Haven't formally named the HiLo but I'm leaning towards "the box" cause it's white like an old refrigerator also known as the ice box and because Madison our dog is told to "box!" when we want her in her crate at bedtime.

Green truck (F250)
White truck (Ridgeline)
Camper (HiLo)

Not very imaginative Wrascal.

JackandJanet 10-11-2013 09:09 AM

I tend to refer to my F150 as "The Ferd". My Honda Accord is "The Hounda". I haven't thought up a good (or bad) name for the HiLo.

Madison our dog is
not very imaginative either.

My mostly sheppard is Otis but (in all fairness) he came to us that way.
The boxer is Sassy, same story with the pre-existing name.
Maxx, in the middle, was just visiting.

Now I don't have any affectionate names for any vehicles or the hi-lo.
And since this is a family oriented site I won't mention some names they all have been called in the past.
Obviously non-affectionate.
But I still love them just the same!

I call our 33b, "The Beast", cause it's so big. I have to reserve pull thru spaces because I can't back it up very well yet. The F-150 is just the truck.

Bear :D

No disrespect intended Wrascal. Since this is all in fun just had to pick on you.

Madison the dog came that way also, the late Guinness Extra Stout was a big boned deep chested chocolate Lab with a little creamy white "froth" on her front toes.

None taken; now lets hear some real silly names: Nellybelle, Buttercup/ Buttermilk ...

We call our Hi-Lo the Escape Pod , and even have its name on the back bumper. We use it to Escape the Hot Arizona summer , and I think in the down position it looks like some kind of escape Pod.

Good name Lark. My '68 Ford Camper Special is General Sherman. Our '04 Dakota is Dodger. The w on the letters on the back of the Tow Lite is peeling so I sometimes affectionately call it Toi-Lite.
Our Tortoise shell cat is also named Guinness.

JackandJanet 10-12-2013 10:15 AM

Great name for a tortoise shell cat! The coloration is almost perfect, isn't it? The one I had for 14 years was named "Dustmop". She was actually a beauty, but had long hair and was a stray when I adopted her. At that time, the name fit.

Name for tow vehicles and HILo
 
Off topic. My cat is a male and when he stretches out he has quite a length to him. He is part macoon. When we got him as a stray kitten I named him Furby as he is a furball of energy.

My son-in-law's and daughter's 1989 22' Funchaser is called Miss Daisy. He had the name made in vinyl lettering for the front and back.

Nick names
 
Our 2000 HiLo was nick-named "Truly" Scrumptious by our then 7 year old daughters after watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on a campout and our friends fondly named their older yellow sided HiLo "Old Yeller" also after the Disney film!

goodolboy1080 04-16-2014 12:51 PM

I call my tow vehicle (1994 suburban, blue in color) "the burb" and the trailer is nicknamed "the mobile fishing shack" since we only use it when we go to the lake. (sam rayburn in zavalla, tx from Alvin, tx)

LittleVintageTrailer 04-16-2014 06:43 PM

My 61 little Hi-Lo is named Chiclet (like the gum) as she's square like that.
:D

I've named mine Lucy..just seemed to fit.

Bravada 09-09-2017 08:14 PM

I call our 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser- Land Chrusher and the HiLo ... The Hobbit Hotel

sam 09-10-2017 07:54 PM

Name for HiLo and truck
 
Just came back from camping and some down pouring rain. I would call our HiLo "old faithful" as she never leaks and keeps us comfortable with either AC or Heat. Our 1997 F250 4x4 8ft. bed with a capis called the "tank".The tank pulls old faithful along.

Snappy Tom 09-10-2017 10:11 PM

We were thinking of calling ours "Hilo Kitty", "Hilo Silver" or "Hilo Howdy!" Haven't decided but leaning towards "Hilo Silver". I had an SUV named Seabiscuit

Bravada 09-11-2017 02:42 AM

Love HiLo Silver... now to repaint it.......

wdsniderman 08-11-2019 12:07 AM

Brad (truck) and Angelina

tajmahaulers 08-11-2019 11:38 AM

We call our truck The Batmobile-- It's a GMC 3500 dually and when I brought it home my wife, approaching the truck from the rear, said,"Gosh, that's a Big *** Truck. Bat is an acronym... so it became The Batmobile.

Sherri Sonnier 08-11-2019 11:43 AM

I have named my hi lo classic Nester.

kakic63 09-20-2019 10:02 PM

Truck & Hi Lo name
 
F-150 is Betsy
Hi Lo is Betty Boop Mobile

Angel 09-21-2019 01:19 AM

Ram 1500 is Rambow
Hi-Lo is Big Baby

RichR 09-22-2019 06:52 AM

My F150 is Big Red

On The Road Again 09-26-2019 04:36 PM

Well - our truck is Dwayne (after the Rock) and so the trailer is Johnson. How you interpret that pairing points to how pure your thoughts are.
