The mustang EV we get here in Europe, reminds me more of "my little pony" with its high roof and rounded line. It looks nothing like a sports car

Compare the 3rd and 4th generation of the Mitsubishi Delica (or L300 as it was called here)

Toyota HiAce was similar, you sat in front of the front axle, on top of the wheel well. The Japanese had to extend the wheelbase of their vans at the turn of the century, because they had to keep up with the European brands...
Mercedes stopped the legendary Bremer Transporter (Africa is still full of those) in 1995 and tried to sell the MB100 for a few months before the Vito came out in 1996, they purchased a Spanish factory that built a van under license from DKW but with a Mercedes engine.

Customers hated the Spanish build quality, and they couldnt get used to the ride quality which was much worse than the MB design from the 70s that they discontinued. Between discontinuation of the TN or Bremer Transporter, and introduction of the Vito, they did manage to piss off some customers who they sent 20 years back in time by selling them an MB100 from Spain...

The final successor of both the 207/208/210D Bremer, and the short lived attempt of selling the MB100 in Northern Europe, was the Vito in 1996, named after its production town of Vittorrio, Spain. You guys know it as the Metris.

I did not think so either, except for the HD and C&C trucks. I know my 92' K3500 has torsion bar suspension which is what they went to when they came out with the IFS and it needs a 40 acre field to turn in while the double cab Tundra will turn circles inside of it.

Alright, here's the '91 I had, complete with a Dana 60 front axle. And yes, leaf springs.

Ride quality in the Chevy kind of sucks depending on the road. Throw a trailer on it with with weight and now you have a nice ride. Tends to be bouncy as you go down the road. If I have a full tank of diesel(110 gal.) ride smooth's as well.

Damn. 110 gal in a pickup truck? Do you go grab lunch while that thing is filling?
My pickup is 36 gallons, and when I'm near empty, even that feels like a long wait on a cold windy night. I will usually have a jacket in the back seat, but don't usually like to wear one while driving, and so I'm often the guy jogging in place next to the pump, trying to stay warm.

I’m betting the 110 gallons is a tank in the bed.

I have a 120 gallon capacity, but no time for eating when filling up.Damn. 110 gal in a pickup truck? Do you go grab lunch while that thing is filling?
The optional tiny 22 gallon one obviously fills up quickly, then the regular 52 gallon rear tank takes a while, as does the auxiliary 46 gallon tank.
But between moving the nozzle from tank to tank, and often having the swipe the card at least twice, I'm lucky if I get the windshield cleaned off in the process.

My truck has two tiny tanks - 18 & 19, which usually get 14 or 15 each on a fillup. I usually start one tank, then go behind the pump and swipe that side and use its nozzle on my other tank and fill both simultaneously.
I'm guessing your big tanks are constructed to allow filling from a big rig nozzle, aren't those like 40+ gpm?
