[QUOTE="LOUPS78, post: 619304, member: 10129"] I've driven everything from the old 400's (Internationals), 500's (Fords introduced in the late 70's), 600's(complete with vacuum brakes and windshiled wipers as well as wooden shelves and bulkhead doors), 800's(Ford , GMC or Internaional) 1200's (can't remember what the model was) a stint of oversized vans similar to an ambulance rated as a 300, (circa early 80's) and the 24Ft box trucks. I'm currently driving a 2007 Workhorse, 1000. Big V8, dual exhaust, gas engine, goes like a rocket. Very ergonomically designed, plenty of cab room, p/s, auto transmission, great heat and low to the ground. Best vehicle I've ever worked out of. The only downside that I can see is the mpg at about 4.8. I was surprised at the ineficiency of the vehicle. I average about 60 miles per day and fill up daily, 13gals. I'd be interested in hearing an opinion on the Workhorse cars from a mechanics viewpoint. [/QUOTE]
