>>27632713big boythe day of the truck based SUV hsa returned to usa new golden age has risen
>>27632713suburban better btw
One of my coworkers has an excursion and it's a treat. He can fit a small couch in the back and have room for even more bullshit. He's fucking miserable in literally every parking lot and city road lol.
>>27632713Why do people hate trucks but love truck based SUVs? It’s the same goddamned vehicle
>>27632729Nuh uh
Oh hey, what's going on in this thread?
>>27632755huh?
>>27632738Gas vs gas the Burb and it's 8.1 big block has it beat.
>>27632836praise be the 8100gm just woke up one day, decided to make the biggest ls ever, and then never did anything like it again
>>27632853There were rumors a few years back that they were thinking of making a new version of the 8100. They should if they want to compete with the Godzilla 7.3 because I don't think their 6.8 or whatever is good enough.
>>27632713Fuckers are practically impossible to find, unless they're beat to shit or the price is incredibly high. All of the owners know what they have and they hold on to them.
My childhood best friends parents had this thing growing up, it was like a tank
>>27632755Jeep fagoneer
>>27632713Nice, did you post this because of the burb thread? Some of my favorite cars
>>27632755>6cylLOLLOL!!!!
>>27632755What the actual fuck.
>>27632907they dont need a new version, they need the old version
>>27634563Well if you want old school you could just buy their 632ci crate engine and swap that into something. Unfortunately the old one doesn't cut it in these cucked times. Plus some modern performance would be nice. An 8100 with 400hp and almost diesel torque at super low RPM's would work well in a modern 3/4 ton or bigger truck.
>>27634401It makes more power and torque than almost any American V8 while getting better fuel economy. Why LOL?
>>27634577more power and torque and a lower tow rating, not exactly a good sign
>>27632713American dream
>>27632853The 8100 was not an LS. It had glass internals and was based on the previous gen bbc's like the 454 except it shared no cross compatibility and had glass internals. These things were basically tapped from the factory. Almost like if you sized up a 305 another 200 cubic inches
>>27635324
>>27634581Yet almost every single heavy duty transportation machine is powered by an inline 6, and none by V8s.Semi trucks? Inline 6. Cargo ships? Inline 6. Diesel locomotives? Two inline 6s fused together (V12).
>>27636847I6's work when you have a fuckload of space to work with. Pushrod V8's give you more displacement in a more compact package without sacrificing any durability or reliability. Which is going to be better in a truck with limited engine bay real estate?
>>27632713I miss when these and Hummers were considered silly huge
>>27633583It's weird thinking back to when dealers couldn't get rid of these things. As a kid I remember going to test drive them with my family because they would literally pay you a $100 or give you a bunch of free shit just to test drive one.
>>27635659It basically had glass internals
93% of Excursion owner took the Fauci Ouchie. Craigslist should be saturated with them soon.
>>276369852 more weeks
>>27636847>A V8 is two inline 4's fused together

>>27632755Grand Wagoneer L's are 100k usd stellantis products before dealer markup. I want a big landcarrier but not that bad.
>>27636847so which heavy duty transport machine is powered by a 3.0L gas inline 6
>>27636983source: my ass
>>27632713>mogs
>>27636863>I6's work when you have a fuckload of space to work withWhat the fuck are you talking about it? All you need is a slightly longer engine bay. BMW shoved a twin turbo 3.0L inline 6 into the 135i, a car slightly bigger than a Honda fit.Now you’re telling me that that same engine configuration is too big for a Wagoneer? If you can’t into engineering then that’s something different.
>>27637600Fugly in comparison but maybe the interior is better
>>27636889They sold pretty well, at first, then the eco-faggots started bitching that it was straining the earth's resources and other stupid shit, even though it wasn't much bigger than a 'burb.
>>27634577>virgin v6 needs two turbos to make chad v8 power
>>27637810Were talking about truck engines you fucking retarded motherfucker. Not fucking tiny 3 liters in your fucking kebabmobile. Have you seen the size of a Cummins 6.7?
>>27637810>BMW shoved a twin turbo 3.0L inline 6 into the 135i, a car slightly bigger than a Honda fitMust be absolute hell to do any work on
>>27637062An inline 4 is really just two parallel twins and a bit of sticky tape
