I must agree with Scarecrow. You dont need a V-8 or even a V-6 to pull a beachcat. Not even over mountains.. My Ford Focus 1.6liters is sufficient even with a Tornado+tools/spares on the trailer and camping gear in the back.
So wait, my Mountain Dew bottle is 3 litres and your engine is only 1.6?
Yet again, people telling us that we don't need our big cars.
WE KNOW WE DON'T NEED THEM. WE LIKE THEM AND THATS WHY WE HAVE THEM.
I mean jesus, I drive a 2 door, AWD gas-guzzling SUV thats about as practical as a football bat and I love it to death. I baby it. I sing lullaby's to it at night to make sure it gets to bed ok. It takes $50 to fill it up, but guess what, every penny of it is worth it because my vehicle is part of who I am.
So yeah, I don't need a 3.5 litre forced induction V6 on 32"x12" tires, but I LOVE IT AND YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY IT OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS YOU COMMIE BASTIDS!
