Why no heavy duty Chevy pickup?

That’s pretty much the same thing I said. That’s not requiring a special license to drive an automatic.

Well I threw the 4500 class truck out the window and bought a 6500 topkick.

Cool. What year is it that is has Dayton wheels?

 

[4570Man]

1990. It has Dayton wheels but not 2 piece rims. 1 piece rims with tubeless 22.5s.

Nice. Split rims are persona non grata around here!

:thumbsup:

Nice truck 4570! Big upgrade in your hauling capability! What's it got for running gear?

 

[4570Man]

Eaton 2 speed rear end. I don’t know what the front is. The transmission is also Eaton. It’s got deep gears. Like 55 mph wide open.

Sounds cool. What vehicle(s) is it available in? My (quick) internet search only showed it available in a London "New Bus" New Routemaster - Wikipedia

Its not available in light duty pickup truck rating, (380hp 6.7 6 pot makes 250hp 4.5 four pot) but in European DAF trucks (labeled Paccar) the 4.5 puts out 213hp in medium duty in the Daf LF 45 with a GVWR of 16 ton. (In the New Holland T6.175 it has a heavy duty rating of 175hp)

16 ton is 35.000 pounds.

Our Isuzu FTR (26k GVWR) has a 7.8L 6-pot and makes 200 HP and 441 lb/ft. Unfortunately it will rust out hundreds of thousands of miles before the drivetrain fails...

They will fix that in Pakistan;
