The City of SF had a few up until last year. They are gone now. They barely ever got used. Chrysler never bothered to train the users on them and had basically no contact with them after delivery. Most fleet users won't mess with a piece of equipment without receiving instruction on it. I can't say whether this was…

These trucks don't have Cng

The Hino hybrids only save significant fuel on a city cycle

Flatbed wreckers cost $80k versus $30k for these trucks plus maybe $5k for the aluminum trailers. Class C licensing. Plus the cosmetic appearance that the cars are just being transported rather than have broken down and need a tow.

The 3.2 powerstroke is destined for the full size Transit van, which has the exact same drivetrain and engines as F150. The Transit is also going to be made in the Kansas City plant...which also produces... the F150

I, for one, would really like to hear how this could possibly be Obama's fault. I haven't heard any insane theories on that yet.

Alright you want more information on why your position is wrong? A capitalist economy is not based on effort, it's based on value.

Yep it's the distribution. If you haul to much weight, it's just your transmission that suffers.

Have any of you actually been to a Mitsubishi dealership? It's a truly depressing sight. All the worst salespeople work there. If they could get or keep jobs anywhere else, they would work there instead. They're certainly not making any money. Also, the only Mitsubishi stores that still exist are purely because they…

It's not the weight. It's the distribution. Weight alone doesn't do that

You eat shit for breakfast?

All I can do is report what I've been told by drivers for the freight companies that I work with... Your mileage may differ

This is your lucky day. I'm going to since all your problems. Your new car is a Subaru Baja

I saw the Chevy at the SF auto show last month and was shocked. It's almost half ton sized. What's the point? Maybe they just want to use it upsell buyers into a 1500. Look at what you can have for only a few thousand more (starting price of course)

And with that the Jalopnik commentariat resoundingly replies: WRX
