I have seen what is most likely TACOM's latest evaluation of modified
civilian 1-ton dual 4x4 pickups manufactured by both Dodge and Ford. I used
to work in Ann Arbor, MI, right across the street from the EPA Emissions
Lab, and would frequently see these trucks being driven down M-14 and into
the lab for EPA Emission Testing. Most were diesel, but a few were too quiet
and were probably gas engines.
