    Yep---gas got over $.50 gallon and people quit driving

    Seriously--these vehicles were put together at the minimun of every thing--they were loaded to gross figures with the M/H stuff and there was no extra capicity in weight carrying, towing or braking capibility---

    They were wind hogs at anything above 5 mph and were quite often banned from limited access highways because of winds

    It is the wrong vehicle for anything but occasional short trips to keep the battery charged and the rear end gears lubed
