In this month's issue of Car & Driver there's a pickup shootout with a Dak
V-6 and 4 other trucks. The Dak won (but not because of its
engine)."Poorest fuel economy of the group. 16mpg on the EPA's city cycle
and 18mpg on our trail busting trip" 5.2 owners can expect 2 mpg less. Also
the slowest to hit 60 mph - 11.2 seconds.
Even so, it was STILL the first place choice. Losers? S-10 extended side,
Ranger Splash supercab, Frontier SE king cab, Toyota Tacoma Xtracab.
Highs - Titanic cargo capacity, spacious interior, grown-up styling.
Lows - Drag-strip-loser V6, toughest to park in a crowded lot.
Verdict - It changes "trucklike" to a complimentary term.

typewriters will NOT
eventually duplicate the works of Shakespeare!
