This would be perfect for Walker, Texas Ranger reboot. It would be a reboot only in the sense that all of the supporting cast would be new. Chuck Norris would still play Walker, of course, because he doesn't age.

And these are "zombie apocalypse" ready! Just add a snow plow and floor it!

i guess there is a new reason to buy German and British cars and trucks; don't want your old freedom wagon being used for terrorism? buy unreliable

Not... inspired?

My Dad has a 1993 Landcruiser and I don't think that it could pull the dick off of a chocolate mouse. It's without a doubt the slowest accelerating vehicle I've ever driven. And that's including the 1987 4-Runner I had with a 4 cylinder. I would drop a Chevy V8 in it in a heart beat.

It's frustrating because you have no idea where most of the sales come from. I'm guessing fleet sales of work trucks is a big slice of the Ford-sales pie, especially sale of F-350s and 450s above $50K.

Depends what you're using it for as well. I DD mine, but wheel when I can and like to be able to go anywhere. I did exactly what you're thinking - bought the stripper model JK Unlimited Sport - Rolly windows, no power locks/mirrors, heinous steelies, etc. My demands were hardtop, bluetooth, and tow package so I'd…

The reason why brake-based traction control is so popular is because of how well it works relative to the cost. They already need to install brakes and wheel speed sensors for ABS. The only additional mechanical piece that needs to be added is a button on the dash to turn it off, everything else is done with…

are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Or factory option.

It's a start.

I have a current and enduring fascination with these boats.
