ChrisJones 7,973 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) If you're looking for something as a runabout for the Mrs, and kids look no further than one of these... The M35, or Deuce and a Half as they're affectionately known, is considered a medium duty vehicle by the US Department of Transport. They're built around a six-cylinder turbocharged multifuel engine, by the cracking folk over at Continental Motors, and have the ability to run on all oil-based fuels which make them incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly. I mean how many other vehicles can you drop the oil and then throw it straight in the fuel tank? If you need to haul anything around their 4500kg payload, and 7.2lt engine, makes them ideal for pulling houses off their foundations and let's be honest, if you're doing a tip run you'll only have to go once! Their enormous 50-gallon tank will give you at least 200 miles of hassle-free driving between fill-ups! They're designed for all environments and their 6x6 ability makes them ideal for shopping and dog walking. Their top speed of 56 mph makes a high-speed collision highly unlikely and realistically it'll feel like nothing more than a speed bump while keeping insurance down to a minimum! Also if you're mechanically handy you'll be able to build on that experience on a daily basis. Just remember that they're not leaking oil they're marking their territory!
