…i’m not sure they’re actually made any differently; everything in europe gets a dramatically greater tow rating…

…manufacturers cater to the compact + economy truck market overseas but protectionist tariffs pretty much give them a captive market for luxury yank tanks stateside; your best bet for something new is finding it in puerto rico and paying the premium to ship it across the gulf…

…good man!..

…looks pretty much the same on bing maps, except they’re so committed that they named it twice…

…but it’s not in any way contiguous with south america; that would be the caribbean sea…
