Quite a few car manufacturers have created models similar to this mid-sized truck but still the Chevrolet Colorado LTZ with Z71 suspension and four-wheel drive is the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to smaller trucks. Many individuals say the truck is almost worthless when it comes to being an actual “pick-up” truck. Some say the cab and/or the truck bed is too small, others will tell you that the 3.7 liter engine is just plain silly when it comes to torque and horsepower. Then again, there are people out there that will tell you that all of those things can be put to great use and that just because the truck is small does not mean it is at all worthless.…

Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…
When trying to get the job done with a full-size pickup truck, it’s time to switch to a more heavy duty, and a more freshly redesigned 2010 Dodge Ram 2500. With the lauded 383-horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, which produces 400lb-ft of torque starts the stump-pulling power. When needing to bring down an empire, the grunt of the 350-horsepower, 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel inline-six and its 650 pound-feel or torque is what is needed. The transmission options include six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission. This heavy-duty truck includes two and four wheel drive. The payload reaches a weighty 3,220 pounds, and towing capacity hits 13,400 pounds. Handling those loads the ram rides on a fully boxed frame, and to soften the ride, the cab’s C-pillar rides on vibration-damping liquid-filled mounts. For 2010, the Dodge Ram 2500 is available on a crew cab variation, as well as regular cab and…
Even though Chevy and Ford are all time rivals, their muscle cars have many similar and differing characteristics. First, the engines vary a bit. According to caranddriver.com, the Ford Mustang GT contains a five liter, V8 engine, outputting 412 horsepower and 390 pounds of torque. The Chevrolet Camaro SS carries a six point two liter, V8 engine with 426 horsepower and 420 pounds of torque. Next, the interior are very similar. The mustang contains an AM/FM stereo, CD player, reclining bucket seats, and surround sound. The Camaro has a center consul with XM radio included for twelve months, sport bucket seats, and MP3 plug-in. Also, the prices for both coupes are very close to each other. The 2010 Chevy base price is around 31,000, containing minimal standard features. Starting at 29,000, the Mustang has many standard features such as a locking consol with full storage and speed control steering wheel. In conclusion, the Mustang and the Camaro have similarities and differences that make it a tough decision on which to buy.…
Chevrolet’s performance is good at best. Chevrolet’s 3500 have a 6.6-liter V8 turbo diesel engine with a hydramtic six-speed transmission allowing for 365 horsepower and 660 pounds of torque. This large engine and turbo give the truck only 14 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. That is horrible when the competition is getting two more miles to the gallon.…
Another point that someone looks at when buying a truck from Chevy or Ford is the price and miles-per-gallon or…
Today, Fords are all over the road, big and small, gas and deisel, of every generations from the past 5 or so generations. Seeing these old Ford pickups on the road proves that no matter the amount of hatred towards Ford from some people, they are very reliable. Not only that, but they come in a very wide variety to fit the customer’s needs and/or wants. Thanks to just a spark of creativity and “outside of the box” thinking, Henry Ford made all this possible since 1903 and for the years to…
The early years of the Dodge truck, 1918 1950, proved to be the designing years of the truck. The original intention of the Dodge truck was to be used in the military during World War I, as ambulances, chassis cowls, repair trucks, and cargo trucks. After the war, the Dodge Brothers, revamped the design of the original military ambulance, and started marketing it to the general public. Over the years, Chrysler bought the company and the engines and structure were redesigned. ( Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Standard) When Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers, they intended to produce a truck that could compete with the already popular Ford and Chevrolet. In the 30s the truck went from looking like a cargo van, to the design that we know today as a truck. Most of the truck was originally produced out of wood and metal. In the 40s the trucks were designed to maintain a heavier workload and became known as job rated pickups. ' The engine was more powerful and the payload allowed for a heavier capacity. At this time, the trucks ranged from ½-ton capacity to 3-ton capacity. Each different payload capacity of truck had a different engine size that offered different ranges of horsepower and a different transmission setup.

Trucks are a necessity for many Americans. Trucks serve many purposes such as using them for work, customizing them for show, or tuning them for a sportier ride. The truck that has shown to be the best in its class would have to be the Ford F250 Super Duty. This truck has the appearance of a hard working truck, is built the toughest to handle anything in its path, and is the safest truck on the market.…
In modern times of technology and innovation our understanding of language, learning, and experience including a proper education in regards to a deaf child is as important and available as ever. As we explore life building methods and techniques to teach deaf children we can recognize many strong forces that effect a Deaf child’s educational-life, building self-growth and worth. The dynamics of a deaf child’s development better meet the child’s needs if the approaches involve methodologies that are individualistic and therefore, if recognized as such can be a major factor improving the child’s progress in future learning. These factors involving the growth of the child are influenced by the configuration of the child’s family and the decisions they make. Another growth-development dynamic about the child is made through the observance and application methods used connecting concepts and research in deaf learning that involves ongoing techniques in cognitive development. Finally, further significance acknowledges the child’s growth involving the education process in the classroom and its role both in learning and experience.…
Automobiles are like people. There are tons of them, and yet only a few ever enter our lives. With this in mind I comprised a comparison of the three top trucks on the market. The Toyota Tacoma, the GMC Sierra 1500, and the Ford F-150. These three trucks are considered smaller full size trucks. Now there are quite a few ways to compare trucks. However I chose the most used, or necessary traits needed in a truck. For all who do not know anything about automobiles I will be going over each trait, and why they matter before giving the ranking of first to last place. The easiest was for someone to judge anything is by the price. It is the part that directly requires your action. That being said it requires the least amount of explaining. Looking at only the price the Toyota Tacoma is the winner by about 2,000 dollars. The interiors on the stock models are around the same quality, but the Tacoma is notably more compact than the other two models in this chart. This impacts a few other features that will be talked about later. The next trait is horsepower. This is the amount of work that can be done by the engine. 1 horsepower equals 746 Watts of power a second. In laymen terms this is…
Ford was motivated in part by a desire to gain a foothold in the Russian car market. Although car ownership levels in Russia are very low by international standards—120 cars per 1,000 people compared to 580 per 1,000 in Western Europe— car sales have been rising by 7 to 8% a year. In 2002, about 1.5 million new and used cars were bought in Russia, about 1 million of which were Russian cars. New Russian models sell for $5,000 to $8,000. Ford intends to sell its locally produced Ford Focus for about $10,900, a price premium that Ford believes is justified given the poor reputation of Russian cars. An imported Ford Focus currently sells for $14,000 due to transportation costs, import duties and higher wages at Ford's Western European factories.…
