Notes
- Add some in here later
“Dream Work Truck”
- Going to make a version for giant american roads (a but bloated, but should work fine here, not ideal for city streets though etc)
- A F250 or Equivalent (need to read up more on long term reliability etc)
- Flex Fuel Spark Ignition (Gasoline) engine to avoid DPF-EGR Maintenance Mess
- An Auxiliary Fuel Tank (Gasoline or Diesel depending on what your small engines are running on)
- Side Tool Boxes
- Conventional is FINE, but having a system integrated with the Car’s Electronic Lock (thus either the central button and/or the clicker remote could unlock the tool cabinets, rather than having to use a key box by box, or pull the keychain out of ignition etc
- Having it use the same key as the car would be nice as well to reduce that bit of time wastage from fumbling with the keychain etc (Although Key Labels etc help)
- Convenience aside, it would also help for reducing time spent in the road if parked in the median for work on a sidewalk/yard etc (or if you don’t want to be in the customer’s driveway etc)
