I agree, with the the torque and hp on these trucks you likely wouldn’t notice it.

On a truck like that it would cost about a grand (per axle if 4x4) to change the gears with a minor change like that.

You’re just a hater. I love the old VW stories and honestly read the site for the offbeat stuff.

Gasoline is definitely the right option compared to the GM diesels of the era. I had a 83 3/4 ton suburban with the 6.2 non-turbo (only way they came) that put out an astonishing 135 hp. It got 25 mpg highway, but it took forever to get there and just plain wouldn’t if you were hauling anything.

It’s very common on the business side. Most administrators pit a limit on inbox size to keep server utilization reasonable (I’m a server admin). Usually ranges from 500 mb to 2 gb, it is constantly filled up during regular operation. The trick is to set it so that the user’s can still receive but cannot send new email…

The bubble contains the Carolinas and part of Virginia which was the old south in which the movie was set. We think more Alabama and Mississippi when we think the south today. It also does include Atlanta(or very close to it for a hand drawn map).

Glasses wouldn’t really work when wearing a helmet anyway. This makes a lot more sense attached to a helmet like it shows. As long at it is set to the user’s non-dominant eye it wouldn’t even get in the way of firing if there wasn’t time to move it.

I’d go with my flex with first generation Sync. The Damn thing shuts off and resets itself whenever it pleases. Particularly when it’s less than 25 f outside. It controls radio, climate, backup camera, navigation and a host of other things. I couldn’t think of a worse time to not be able to turn on the heat than when…

There is a small consumer base that wants a small truck, but that’s not enough to sustain production on one. The majority of buyers since the early 90’s of small trucks were business consumers. They needed something cheap and relatively useful that would do 75% of the job a full size would do at 50% the cost. Now vans…

I love the concept! Part of the reason I love vans is because you can do carry about everything in them from passengers to lumber, way better insulated for camping than a tent too.

That's the best thing I've heard all day!

Unless of course if the car has reverse lugs on the drivers side. My 62 Willys CJ6 has left handed threads, I believe it was one of the latest american cars to do such a thing though.

You could put just about any 79-95 american car in this slot, so very few of the mainstream cars are still on the road. I choose to pick something like this, but just a bit less common, the Ford Bronco II.

A modern woody would definitely be nice. They don't sell a lot of them but they are popular with dealers barely being able to keep them in stock and the used market commanding quite a premium. I've got a 2010 ecoboost limited awd and it is amazing.

PS this comment seems silly now but when the article was originally posted it was titled as a '1970 Bronco'

Hard to argue with that. Some people split up the compact bronco's into 2 generations, there wasn't a hard generational cut but notable changes in engine and drive line during their run. This one is just usually called First Gen Fullsize as it shared basically nothing with the previous bronco but instead shared it's…

It's a 79 Bronco, technically a 3rd gen. Or first gen full size if you prefer. That body style was only 78 and 79, and the square headlights are only 79, 78 had round headlights.
