No TOG called it a Truggy and that is what it is. A buggy has independent rear suspension like the Dakar Hummers. A Truck has a solid real live axle. To make a class 1 Truggy you take a truck designed vehicle and skin it like you would a buggy making the wheels not covered, thus a Truggy.

Like the old Terrible Herbst land shark. That was a truggy too. I've always thought truggy was front engine open wheel not a rear engine like class 1 cars.

Looks like Robby was correct when he called it a Truggy.
