Only problem with this one is it's too nice to use as a truck!

Damn...


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

That is a very nice truck. Probably slower than molasses in January without the turbo, but super clean none-the-less.

My wife's uncle 450 pounds had one. He drive it but had ti put a small towel on the wheel.as ot rubbed.
His old square body Town Car had more room.
His brother (my father in.law) 180 pounds had one too. He fit fine. He bought one back.then since his brother had a new truck so he vould not be out done.
I was all.the rage when i bought my 1994 Ram 4x2 2500HD auto, a/c, cruise, 354 gears that got 28-29 hwy and gad tge newer look and better non truck ride, in a F8 green color, gray interior since we have hot weather here.
I had a slow 175HP think low to mid torque 420 ish?
His was slower and drove more truck like.
My wife drove that 1994 like it was a Honda compact car everywhere when i did not need it. She would get pallers of tile, mortor, stuff from suppliers while i was on job sites to help.out. it was get out her way or else when she was behind the wheel she like how it drove but hated her dad's.
It did not turn like mine and rode like riding a horse. Amd was not as comfy.



And loved driving it

ive had one.
Im 5'11" or so , weigh about 220 and honestly its comfortable.

I would be ok taking it on a trip, but most likely would be really glad when trip was over. Biggest issue for me is the back rest of the seat is a little to vertical, so it makes you sit very upright.
