Look, I'm well aware the brand is owned by Hasbro (how could I not be after this mess). And for the purposes of the show, I do think that the inaccuracies in the toys should rule them out as a reliable source of names for ponies within the show. You can, perhaps, tell which characters the Hasbro toy department may have been basing them off of, more clearly in some cases than others (e.g. Macintosh/McIntosh), but their rampant shortcomings and frequent disconnects from the show would at the very least lead me to place the names of toys below the names used internally by the FiM team. They may not own the rights, but it paints a better and more accurate picture of the show than the toys do.

Otherwise, that means Pinkie's car and Applejack's truck are official information about the characters. They may never have been depicted in the show, but there's nothing that suggests they're inherently incompatible. They have modern refrigerators and ovens (see: Sugercube Corner) and wireless PA systems (see: Best Young Flyer's Competition), both of which are farther up the technology tree than an ICE.
