Exactly right Bill. None of these trucks has enough HP for the type of work we need them for and we live in the flat lands. I wasn't aware that Isuzu had a 17,500 GVW, but still not enough torque and HP for plowing snow.

John, I agree 1000% with you. The Big 3 deserve to lose every bit of market share that they do. The adversarial relationships they develop with their suppliers to lower costs while not looking where the real problem is--them, the lack of quality control and engineering, etc, etc. I would love to see the Japs get into the 350-550 truck market so the Big 3 would get there crap together.
