p> HAVING PULL br> Re: Jim Henley's Muscle Cars : /p>

Any car has far more muscle than most owners ever use. Here's a good shot of a milling machine I moved interstate behind a Tercel. That's about a 1-ton load, mill plus trailer. The car could have pulled a far heavier load but nothing bigger than a Class 1 hitch is commercially available for the Tercel.

This arrangement would not have worked very well if towing in mountains, but things are pretty flat on the East Coast. I have also moved two engine lathes (disassembled) inside that car -- lots of very heavy chunks of cast iron.

p>Both of my sisters have trucks, but so far as I know never use them to carry anything heavier than dogs. The notion of actually using them to transport anything heavy or bulky is just plain scandalous. br> -- W.F. Whitelaw /p> p> PRIME FACTORS br> Re: Brandon Crocker's
