American trucks

[Giles]

In appreciation and somewhat envious of their trucks and trailers etc

New Tacoma be lovely

Plus a classic dump body

New Silverado...
Interesting approach...cross between raptor style play trucks and super duty monsters.
Ruddy good off-road, 425bhp. 900 torque. 8t tow!
Off the shelf.

Our trucks are mere toys...

It's a shame our roads are too small and out rules so crap. Most of the big yank motors are cool, seen a ram last year it was massive

with our licensing I doubt many ppl'd be able to drive them

I seriously contemplated buying 1 before the ranger but decided against it due to the parking and finding 1 in budget that wasn't too old

Often toyed with it ...lot more truck for the money than we get and not daft money even with shipping etc...
BUT impossible to run round here our lanes are bad enough as it is ...sadly.
If I had a big open yard in main road etc I may consider but no way atm
