Eastern Adams County's Only Independent Voice Since 1887

In the driver's seat

There’s an ad on TV for a certain brand of pickup truck that I’m sure you have seen but may not have paid a lot of attention to. The ad shows this beautiful truck and the announcer in his most manly voice talks about this vehicle and says it has 850 (or so) pounds of torque.

After listening to this ad several times I wondered to myself just how many people buy this truck because it has so much torque.

I also wondered how much torque one needs to purchase a few bags of groceries, a 40-pound bag of dog food and a 20 pound bag of cat food.

I wonder if anyone pulling a fifth-wheel trailer ever tho...
