- Sounds like a bunch of damn sissy talk to me. IMnot-soHO, you can either
- be smart or have a truck that looks smart, not both. We drive a '75 Ford
- 4WD 1/2 ton pickup with a 400cid. It pulls a trailer loaded with two
- boneheads, will carry 30 bales of hay at a conservative 75lbs. per (that's
- at least 3/4 ton), and we don't have to worry about scratching the wussy
- paint job when we throw old fencing and brush into it. Four-wheel drive is
- MANDATORY for a serious hauler. Don't get five years in debt over some
- flashy, underpowered yup-truck. Get a good used work vehicle.
