I could go for a diesel durango! ;D

 

Last year, we had a Mercedes &quot;G&quot; Wagon in our sound garage fitting it with one of our audio systems. That thing was butt ugly! A big green box that kind of reminded of the VW &quot;Thing&quot; from the 60's. You couldn't give me one of those &quot;G&quot; Wagons......oh alright..I'd take it if you gave it to me. :

Looks like a new wave frito's van? [undecided]

 

It seems that DC has already done their homework on this one. UPS has already ordered a good number of the vans along with FedEx.<br><br>Here is a story the Louisville paper did on them.<br><br>New Dodge Van<br><br>They say the van get's 22mpg if so I'm sure once they are out on the road lots of companies will have them in their fleets.<br><br>DB

 

Having worked at UPS for 9 years in a previous life I can tell you - no UPS driver will ever get 22 mpg out of one of them.<br><br>As all of the UPS mechanics have learned the drivers have two modes of driving - FULL GO and FULL WHOA. They are professional toggle-footed drivers. Also, the old saying about anvils and rubber mallets applies - if it on the package car and can be broke they can break it.<br><br>My best friend's new brown sauna-on-wheels (or rolling refrigerator on days like today) has a PSD in it Too bad they didn't opt for the optional Cummins that can be had in those chassis.
