I had a 1989 that the fenders looked like a cheese grater.
One day I was poking my finger through the frame and decided it was time to sell. I never had any problems with fishtailing.
It got good traction even in 2WD. It had a manual transmission and a 3.0 V 6. The back seat was not suitable for passengers unless they were very young.
I think they should make a 1 ton with a diesel.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
