Not knowing what an F150 is - it that a good thing or a bad thing? :-)

What, you mean underpowered and unreliable?

ObRant: when .mod.uk were looking for replacements for the Landrover 101FC,
LR put in a bid to upgrade the existing fleet to the new spec.  Their bid
was considerably lower than Steyr-Pusch's.  And the Pinzgauers turned out
to be less reliable and with less carrying capacity.  It got so bad that
when we invaded^Woffered assistance to Sierra Leone last year, they had to
take their last few 101s out of mothballs so they could tow the Pinzgauers
when they broke down.  Bah.
