"The group also excluded vehicles with pedestrian automatic emergency braking systems," well fuck. Maybe there's a reason this is a standard feature on most new vehicles.
"the auto industry is embracing bigger, more brutish designs for its SUVs and trucks, ... and car buyers are increasingly buying into that marketing, snapping up these high-riding vehicles in record numbers." It's almost like there are no other options on the market as manufacturers chase fuel economy requirements.
You give me an update of a 90's-00's midsize truck like the Tacoma or Dakota and I'll write a check so fast the paper rips.
Honestly, I would take out a loan immediately for a brand new 1993 S-10 with a modern drivetrain
If you had the time and skill, you could buy a new drivetrain and swap it in. I'd wager a modern engine and transmission would be easier to swap into older engine bays since they're so roomy.
I rebuilt an 86 Bronco. I could literally sit in the engine bay to do work on the motor.
Yeah my buddy and I are gonna be swapping something into his S10 soon. He's tossing around the idea of a mustang motor. Why? No clue.
Ford sells electric crate motors now. It's just a matter of finding a way to install a battery. I've thought about trying to electrify an old F150 for shiggles. Throwing 6" of battery/body lift under the bed seems like a not-totally stupid idea.
