I only wish the comparisons were more like what Road&Track, Car&Driver etc. does with newer cars. I would like to see detailed specs -- wheelbases, turning radius, approach/departure angles etc.

Does anyone get this magazine? Does the hard copy have that sort of stuff?

I've had 2 out of the 4. Wish I had never sold my '68 Bronco. That 3-speed on the column was way worse than the Rover, but I loved that little truck.

It's kind of amazing how similar all of those trucks look and yet there are some significant drive train differences. I really so wish that comparison was much more in depth.

G -- I know you still kick yourself about selling that Bronco. Who knew its little straight six would seem like a monster compared to the Rocket's four. HAHA.
