Cooler than a Sugga...

So I need to stop looking at trucks for sale. This Pete has a triple thick frame from the factory(Looks like 3/8 to 1/2" C channel) and a 5 x 4 x 3 transmission. Am I reading that right 60 forward speeds?

Reminds me of the truck from "Duel."

This thing looks awesome and almost a steal... until I think of the tow when this thing breaks down. I don't think AAA would cover it. What are tow bills for these things?

I spent 3 years driving one of these, mid engine turbo V8 fun.
