An excellent point is carrying around any 'extra' weight with todays fuel prices!! Thinking back, the 9400# RGVW van that tipped the scales at 7900# in what was a 'normal stocked' condition. The 'service only' van weighed in near 8k lbs., with the normal compliment of ballasts.
my grandious idea of overloading a 4-banger S10 isn't really working out on the hills around here.....
maybe i could get a rear company placard, so everyone behind me knows who to beeeatch at?
