MORE THAN JUST GREAT TRUCKS

2010 Chromed Ram 2500 Crew Cab

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:56:38 +0000

In early of 2010, a truck shows up for evaluation that defies convention and makes little-to-no sense on a rational level. The truck is Chromed Ram 2500 Crew Cab. The Chromed Ram 2500 Crew is so huge even on truck garage.

It features a Mopar two-inch lift kit and 35-inch Toyo Open Country tires, what was once a garden-variety heavy-duty Ram stops fitting neatly into more than just garages. In additional, Chromed Ram 2500 Crew is equipped with $1180 worth of chrome trim, and a $1290 hard tonneau cover.

A standard Ram HD is fairly easy to maneuver around town. That’s no smart car and, obviously, has problems fitting into tighter spots. There’s a fuel-economy hit too, but it’s hard to say how big since the EPA doesn’t rate heavy duty trucks.

2009 Subaru Forester

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 10:41:52 +0000

My 2009 Subaru Forester trudged through rather inclement weather last weekend without issue. I felt composed and confident through the rain, regardless of speed when I drove the Subaru. I hit a major downpour on Marina along the coast, but the water and wind didn’t affect my Subaru Forester. I love it.

Along the coast, I maintained my speed. Everyone around me saw me. There was no shake, not even a hint at trouble. Again, I love my Subaru Forester. It didn’t matter how high the water appeared, or how far the splashes shot above as I drove through pool after pool.

Suzuki Equator RMZ – Sport 2009

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 22:58:41 +0000

Suzuki Equator RMZ truck is just the right size for freeway or around town driving. Suzuki’s quick-rig Garmin navigation setup is simple, cheap, works well, and allows you to enter an address while driving, you just have to undock the unit first. I subjected the Equator to some light off-roading on a dirt road, which it handled without a problem.

A Credible Alternative to a Wrangler. This truck was easy to maneuver, drive, and park, though the V-6’s fuel economy isn’t much better than that of our long-term V-8 F-150. The Equator RMZ truck feels every bit as good as the Toyota Tacoma benchmark.

Truck Driving on Mountain Roads and the maintenance

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:10:05 +0000

Driving a big rig on a mountain road is very different from traveling on a flat highway. If we could get trucks off of the highways some believe it would make highways safer. The manufacturers of pick up trucks make use of all possible measures to make their vehicle full of added features with maximum usability. With the immense amount of weight being hauled in your trailer, you’ll want to be sure you get down the mountain safely. But before you go down the mountain, you have to climb up.

Fot the maintenance, When winter hits, there is less and less quality time to wash your vehicle and do general maintenance. This is particularly true of those of us who live in northern climates, as the cold and the lack of sunlight can really affect how we go about doing work on our trucks.

2009 Kia Borrego

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:29:02 +0000

2009 Kia Borrego has a very nice powerband engine. Too many automakers are forgetting about the existence of the front passenger, but not with the Kia Borrego. At 7500 miles, the Borrego went in for its first service visit, a $168.22 oil change, full inspection, and tire rotation.

In other side, The drone Art and Brian speak of seems to appear only at a precise rpm level. It is very annoying and seems as if it’s intake noise. It was around 2500 rpm.

I look forward to putting some serious miles on our Borrego and seeing how Kia’s first serious sport/ute effort stacks up both on congested, crossover-packed freeways and the trails of which soft-roaders can only dream.

2009 Chevrolet Colorado V-8

Fri, 01 May 2009 22:59:06 +0000

These days, there aren’t many compact trucks for those with a lead foot. The Dodge Dakota is available with a Chevrolet Colorado V-8, but it’s a lot bigger than a true compact truck-it’s somewhere between a compact and a midsize.

There are some high-performance dealer-installed or specialty options (such as adding a supercharger), but for red-blooded American compact-truck performance, there’s really only one choice: the Chevrolet Colorado V-8.

While a basic Colorado comes with a choice of a 2.9L I-4 or 3.7L I-5, GM has made V-8 power available in its smallest pickup, providing a truly tantalizing weight-to-power ratio. It is the good of 2009 Chevrolet Colorado.

The other good of this truck is when I tested the truck, a two-wheel-drive crew cab, weighs 4073 lb as equipped and uses a 300-hp, 320-lb-ft version of the company’s 5.3L V-8 backed by a Hydra-Matic 4L60 four-speed auto (that same engine puts out 320 hp in the Tahoe).

Mercedes-Benz Unimog Cross-Country

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:10:17 +0000

Mercedes-Benz Unimog was Produced at the Wrth plant since 2002, the high-mobility Unimog U 3000 to U 5000 model series is the natural choice for difficult all-terrain operations far from roads and tracks.

The Unimog U 3000, U 4000 and U 5000 models are therefore the ideal complement to the all-terrain implement carriers which make up the U 300 to U 500 model series and which are used principally by public service organisations and municipal contractors as well as in the construction and energy sectors, in intra-plant transport applications and for road/rail work. The latest addition to the Unimog family, the compact U 20 made its first public appearance at the 2006 IAA commercial vehicle show.
