    And it only takes one time to mis-shift a manual and mess that up. Its all about using your common sense. Its only overweight because the sticker on the door sais it can handle so many lbs. Every car, truck, boat is underrated. My wave runner is rated at 338 Lbs. Thats me and fuel. Why did...

    Ok the Nissan delivery trucks are rolling out

    More than we think and not only. Its only 10' from seats to the back door. Even a contractor will think twice before he buys it to see if he can fit 12' lumber into it. A siding guy will not be able to fit his aluminum brake in the back of it. they should of added at least 2 more feet. I...

    Sprinter teams

    Thats quite alot of money for maintaining a sprinter. 12k would of installed a low mile motor and tranny. Anyhow, here is my input. We own a 2500 extended. It has a custom bed that folds. With the bed unfolded you will fit 3 skits and with it folded the van will fit 4. As for the weight, I...
