Around here they drive Explorers, Cherokees, and Trailblazers (except my current carrier has a new non-Hybrid Chevy extended cab pickup) and they sit on the right, driving with left foot and left hand. If I were making my own vehicle for that sort of duty, I'd do a series hybrid with a 15hp Kubota/Cub Cadet diesel and hub motors in all four wheels. One of those domestic market RHD Japanese mini trucks would be a good chassis for it. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
