The Ford F-Series Trucks


The Ford Super Duty introduced for 1999. The F-250 to F-550 are assembled Kentucky. The F-650 & F-750 tho are assembled in Mexico. The Super Duty trucks are larger, heavier built commercial/industrial series pickup trucks with heavier-duty body-on-frame steel ladder frames, axles, springs, brakes, transmissions, more powerful engines, and all other heavier/bigger components (with much higher payload and towing capacities) than the older traditional equivalent F-250, F-250HD (Heavy Duty), & F-350 Ford truck lines. In appearance, the Super Duty line might look a little similar to but does not share any of the design or build characteristics of the F-150. A F-250 Super Duty would surpass the older traditional F-350 in most categories.

The Toyota RAV4


The Toyota RAV4 is a compact SUV built by Toyota ,the car was introduced in North America in 1996 to cater to consumers wanting a vehicle that had most of the benefits of SUVs, like increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a smaller car.Its name stands for "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive," although not all RAV4s have four wheel drive, which is optional in some countries.

The RAV4 was a 2.0 L straight-4 producing 120 hp,both Front wheel drive and Four-wheel drive were available, and the RAV4 could be had with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. In 1998, the RAV4 was slightly restyled on the front and rear fascias, and a soft-top two-door which was made available exclusively in the US market.

The Hummer H2 SUV


Hummers were originally built by AM General Corporation in Indiana.They were created on contract for the US Military, and the first model, the Hum-Vee, was available with many different military-based extras. These included troop carriers, gun turrets and radar.AM General had planned to sell a civilian version of the Hum-Vee as far back as the late 1980s.
In 1992, AM General began selling a civilian version of Hum-Vee vehicle to the public under the brand name "Hummer", called the Hummer H1.
In 1998, AM General sold the brand name to General Motors, but continued to manufacture the vehicles. GM is responsible for the marketing and distribution of all Hummers produced by AM General. In the next few years, GM introduced two new homegrown models, the H2 and H3, and renamed the original vehicle H1. AM General is contracted by GM to produce the H2.
2006 Hummer lineup: H3, H1, and H2 (L-R)As of 2006, Hummer has gone international with selected importers and distributors in Europe and other markets.
The H2 is also assembled in Kaliningrad, Russia, by Avtotor, starting in June 2004. The plant produces a few hundred vehicles annually, and its output is limited to local consumption (five dealers in Russia initially).
The future of the Hummer brand is in doubt. On Tuesday 3 June 2008, one day prior to GM's annual shareholder meeting, CEO Rick Wagoner said the brand is being reviewed, and has the possibility of either being sold, having the production line completely redesigned, or being discontinued.This is due to the decreasing demand for large SUVs as a result of higher oil prices. Almost immediately after the announcement, a pair of Indian automakers, one of them Mahindra & Mahindra, have expressed interest in purchasing all or part of Hummer.
H2 SUV
This model was the original H2, with 6 seats, leather interior and many other 'luxury' extras, providing more comfort than the previous H1. With a V8 engine, and new suspension, the H2 SUV was a much more modern approach to the SUV market. Optional Extras include:
-9 Disk Changer -Heated Seats -Tow bar package -roof racks -Chrome Package -Bull bar -Chrome Grille
