A
carryall is a type of
carriage used in the
United States in the
19th century. It is a light,
four-wheeled vehicle, usually drawn by a single
horse and with seats for four or more
passengers. The word is derived by folk etymology from the French
carriole.
The name
carryall was later used for a passenger
automobile having a closed body and two facing seats along the sides. More recently, automobile manufacturers have employed the term to refer to larger
sport utility vehicles. These vehicles had
station wagon-like bodies on
light truck chassis. The
GMC Suburban (now called the
Yukon XL) was once known as the
GMC Carryall Suburban.
In
Canada, the term "carryall" is often also used to refer to a type of
sleigh. It is about 4 m (13 ft) long and 0.5 m (1.5 ft) wide, fitted with a canvas or hide container. It is pulled by
dogs or a
snowmobile. It is used principally by
trappers and
hunters to transport
people and
goods.
The term is also used for a carrier with a scraperlike self-loading device drawn by a tractor, pushed by a bulldozer or self-propelled. It is used especially for hauling earth and crushed rock. It is also used to refer to a type of bag, normally smaller then a purse but with the same strap design that in culture can be carried by both sexes (but is often considered metrosexual).
