GM Truck Recalls

[Cudz]

Yep its funny functional. Not like the Challenger hoods that Dodge Makes. After market is the way to go. Iv been flagged down by other guys with the same truck asking about the hood.

 

Cheaped out on the under the hood paint just ognna buy the spray paint and goto town in the summer.

 

 

Nice! I was not expecting that. A little ram air in the ram. I thought it looked different. I really like it loads more than the "glued on fake scoop" you see from dodge. Nice touch. I used to mod a few chryslers in my day.

Actually, VW did make a small pickup for many years, starting in the mid-70s and continuing into the late 80s or perhaps early 90s. It was based on their Rabbit/Golf platform, and called the Sporttruck. They didn't sell very well here in Canada, but did very well in Europe, South America and in Australia, where fuel prices have always been higher. You still see the odd one around here at classic car shows every summer, especially events with a lot of VWs.

 

 

Presently, VW is looking at building a new pickup, based on its Touareg SUV platform. Here's a picture of the concept truck they showed at the Frankfurt Auto Show last year. No word on when it will be built, what it will cost or if/when it might come to Canada. But if it's anything at all like the Touareg, its 4x4 will go through just about anything and pull a 6,500 pound boat.

 

Google VW Amarok, already being built, very unlikely we'll ever see it in North America cause it would put the smaller pick ups at the back of the line, comes with a variety of 4x4 and diesel power. Forgot, the old Rabbit pick up also came with a 1.6 diesel. That other abortion made in the US along with the other variants didn't last long, they closed the plant and had them built elsewhere.
