Me thinks truck in spanish is actually camion.  I like the German translation "lastwagen"  Pero no hay problema, su camion es su camion. El nombre  de camion es que usted desear.

Bob - 1965 Chevy P/U (first ride)
named but forgotten - '76 Celica
FARLEY - explanation not needed
Daphne - '87 5th Ave (wife's first car)
Bill - '93 Taurus (nondescript white car bought on impulse)
Minnie Cara - '87 Caravan (MINIvan, CARAvan, get it?)
Sarah - '96 Town and Country
Vern - '02 RAV 4 ( also called Squad 8 )
Rescue 9 - '99 Suburban
Truck 10 - '97 Suburban
Brownie - '79 LeBaron

Near the end I started numbering them with fire-themed names, numbers based on the un-numbered chronology above (Farley is #3).  The two 'Burbans aren't really called by those names any more, though.  It is 'Red Truck' and 'Green Truck'.

Brownie would probably have just been 'Car 11', but I didn't name him.

Translation of my texmex spanish is loosely:

There is no problem, your truck is your truck, call it whatever you like
