If it was mine, I'd probably call it Gump.

I wasn't very imaginative with mine, I called a D-max Max

Yes.

Red, for obvious reasons, but it also has a mascot cable tied to the cb aerial complete with flowing cape with a Superman "S" on it that flaps in the breeze while driving & in perfect position for the dashcam. The mascot is SuperChook which is the cars cb handle.

We were doing some 4WDing one time with a group we didn't know. Some hairy stuff. We came to a challenging bit and the guy in front paused. Clearly thinking about what to do.
My partner got on the radio and softly said "go on, you can do it" followed by some chicken sounds. "bwark bwark bwark bwark"

Next thing he did the section, later telling us that he was going to bail out and take the side track, but after having a girl doing chicken sounds, he just had to do it.
He was over the moon though. Really happy to have done it.

Mine's a GQ Patrol that has been my daily driver for 12.5 years.

My wife named it not long after I got it and it seems to have stuck (mainly because the kids call it that too).

My NP Pajero was called Bushranger after someone gave me that call sign when I did a multi vehicle 4wd trip.

My current 4WD's name is a bit tongue in cheek. I call her Winnie. She's a GU patrol hence - Winnie the Pootrol. (Nissan Patrol owner will understand this).
