I used to have an old white (oj) Bronco with a manual tranny and straight 6 and in low 4 wheel drive (granny gear) it would pull my boat up the ramp without having to put foot on gas. It felt like I could pull anything out of the water, but, it pulled lousy down the Interstate. Almost put it in the ditch one time when a semi passing me almost pulled me around.
I saw on the news that Ford was discontinuing several car lines and concentrating on p/u and suv's, since thats what was selling with the low gas prices. If gas prices keep going up, I suspect there to be more trucks on the market if that trend continues.
