OK then my question is if they are the same truck how come a 89 CC will turn
on a quarter and my 96CC takes two silverdollars to do a U-turn. There has
to be lots more than simple differences. . I have owned and driven all years
and there are more differences between "I"'s and "II"'s other than a bigger
hood and engine. I like my 96 but when it comes to geting around the 90 and
back will go through that parking lot as lot easier.
