    Oh man! I can just see that vase of flowers after the San Felipe - Punta Bufeo trip!

    No thanks.

    10 cylinder gasser with a 14000 pound rig and a 37 gallon fuel tank? That makes for alot of fuel stops. The should have put in a oil burner and by doing so, added about 50% to the vehicle range between stops.

    "all season" tires?

    Twin I-beam front suspension (last I checked, Ford used strait axles on all their heavy 4x4's...meaning this is a 2wd)

    I kinda like the "club" floor plan though....just add a removable table in the middle....
