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 Suzuki "mini" SUV


The Suzuki "Mini" SUV is a class of small sport utility vehicles with a length under 161.4 in. This class should not be confused with compact SUV, which refers to slightly larger vehicles, from 167.3 to 181.1 in.

Early mini SUVs were off-road vehicles built on body-on-frame chassis, such as the Jeep Wrangler and Suzuki Samurai. Earlier mini SUVs are still often used due to their off-road prowess and more manageable size on the trail.
However, current mini SUVs have followed a similar trend, usually having unibody construction and few off-road capabilities, falling into the crossover SUV category. They have substituted off-road cosmetic features, such as large black bumpers and slightly increased ground clearance.
Mini SUVs have become popular in some countries because of fashion trends: for example, wealthy young people buy them just to have a "different looking" car. An advantage over larger SUVs is the better fuel economy, which is very similar to subcompact cars / superminis.
