Yeah, an Urbanizer will make you wanna throw Rocks at most other cars.. My current ride, the mighty Ford Excursion is an Urbanizer writ LARGE.. Its basically a tonne Super Duty pickem up w/a full station wagon type body. Ford killed 'em in 2006 really before they'd found their market, IMHO. The tailgate on Excursions I thought was kinda fiddly & underdeveloped, too. One of the better features of my 1982 K20 Weasel Suburban was its lowering rear window. You could roll both front windows down, & the tailgate, & unless it was just TOTALLY miserably hot, you didn't really need the A/C on. The tailgate on the Excursion, the rear window lifted up-Ugggh-Dah-Yum, it's HEAVY... & you have 2 little clamshell doors that open up. Ferd erred by making the window part SO heavy, putting 2 teency-tinecy "Helper" struts that did little & were too weak to hold the window business up before the struts basically Kwit after a year or 2.... But, my Excursion, I honestly think its even MORE impervious to being overloaded than a 3/4 tonne Suburban... I think it could be loaded w/Pig Iron to the roof & it wouldn't care. A 6.8 liter 413 cubic inch SOHC V-10 takes care of the Go Dept.. Its like a Sub in that respect, too-NOT quick, but I've shocked the hell outta more than a few backwards-cap wearing numbnuts driving slammed, worn out Honda sedans a few times... Don't F!ck w/a crazee old bstrd in a big white truck, Jasper-He just MIGHT have a V-10 in it... Sometimes these kids gotta be taught a little lesson in respecting their elders... I could always see whatever was coming WAY down the road, I wasn't gonna let anyone get hurt, but I'd "Walk" these boys about half a mile by flooring the Excursion, & make 'em "EARN" their passing me on the 2 lane blacktop that was a connector road... Mbwahahahahaha...(Grin)
