2.3L

Slow little bugger, but gets the job done.

Mines a 4.0. 225 lb ft of torque and 165 Horsepowers. Its the torque that gets ya

It’s not a pickup truck but it is a body on frame 4x4 and if it matters I wanted a sport trac but the wife got final say

based on the same platform as a truck, so it counts

Can confirm the 4.0 in the exploder surprised me with the torques

jguttes > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s
06/01/2015 at 12:40

Nice!

When new, mine supposedly had 112hp/135tq. But 20 years on, who knows. I will say that even with a full load in the back it doesn’t move any slower... so yeah, woohoo torque!

The 4.0 is a honey of an engine, even if (on paper) its not that impressive

I have good news and bad news. The good news is if I do, it will be next month. The bad news is, that’s for dropping my brother off at camp, and my mom has basically requested that I don’t go this time, because she’s going to be spending the time with her friend whose daughter died recently. Obviously I prefer going to Colorado over not going to Colorado, so I’m going to try to get her to let me come along. If not, hopefully I can get out there some other time this summer. I’ll let you know.

I mean, I don’t have one but I want one. An ‘87 Toyota 2WD with the Japanese latch-style bed would do just fine.

6 out the last 7 vehicles I owned are trucks. Even if I own a car, I still have a truck around.

Here’s old Butchie.

I’ve noticed the uptick in Trucks as well. Unfortunately I’ve also seen an upswing in people griping about Pick-em-ups too..

Hey I liked the exhaust! And yes I DD a 2000 S10 4x4 and we have had trucks/SUV’s as the family wagon all my life. I love them!

Haha thanks. We kinda lucked out with it. My plans for it are a cop style push bar and wheels and a set of Hella lights. If I get on a volunteer fire department this summer I’ll also be able to add blue led flashers

I’m quite jealous. You have a Ram nearly identical to how I want one . I love the 2 door short bed. Do You like it?

blacktruck18 > JQJ213- Now With An Extra Cylinder!
06/01/2015 at 21:24

I love it. The only thing I don’t like about is the seats. They are comfortable and everything, they just adjust as much as I would like. I like being able to raise the front of the seat up which isn’t possible with the base seats.

All in all it’s a great truck though. Fast enough to be fun, partial enough to do what I need. It’s pretty awesome.
