Call 354-6060 A20 FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1991 Big Wheels Continued from preceding page low-ball model available for those not wanting to part with their home for the sake of their car. Toyota has updated and redesigned its classic and tough Land Cruiser for 1991, a vehicle any serious off- roader needs to test drive. Mazda, which has been hav- ing very good luck with its line of trucks and vans, is in- troducing a two-door sport/ utility vehicle in 1991 to be called Navajo. There's lots of news in the 1991 van marketplace. Minivans have become one of hottest-selling items in the world of cars and trucks, and everyone is trying to come up with something different. Toyota seems to have cap- tured the "different" crown for 1991 with the introduc- tion of its Previa. This radical-looking machine has lots of cargo space, a flat, laid- down four-cylinder engine that barely intrudes into the passenger compartment, and all the style you could want. Previa is such a hit because the previous Toyota minivan was such a boring unit. Toyota competitor Nissan, on the other hand, has yet to develop a minivan suitable for the American market, but in late 1991 a Ford/Nissan van designed expecially for this marketplace is set to bow. The General Motors plastic skinned vans have also cap- tured a lot of attention. Available from Pontiac, Chevrolet and Oldsmobile (there they go again — Olds in the truck market!) the APV mini-vans received initial high marks for styling but lost points when some critics contended the platform for the GM vehicles was not as "new" as the rest of the van. There are no plans for 4WD General Motors APV vans in 1991, through Mazda (MPV) and Ford (Aerostar) already offer minivans with that feature. Sales leader in the minivan market remains Chrysler. For 1991, Chrysler (and its Dodge division) sticks with its tried- and-true products that have proven solid, well-built and dependable. Chrysler even has the nerve to have ugly 1970s-style rain-gutters on its 1991 models; but that styling miscue doesn't seem to hurt sales. The truck market for 1991 fields relatively few surprises, but there are some products that bear mentioning. Chevrolet continues offer- ing its full-size pickup available with a 454-cubic- inch V8 engine guaranteed to scare the neighbors. If you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer with your pickup, this is one vehicle to seriously consider. Expect 12 miles per gallon with the 454. And lots of fun. Dodge continues with cer- tain Cummins diesel engines in its Dakota mid-size trucks, specially tuned for towing. Not as exciting as the 454, but they get the job done and you can drive without wat- ching the gas gauge move down as you go from block to block. The Ford F-150 pickup re- mains the most popular- selling truck in the world, and the No. 1 selling vehicle of any kind in the United States. There is not much new in the wind for 1991 for Ford trucks, but why fool with near-perfection? Now- common truck features such as rear anti-lock brake systems got their start on Ford trucks. Import pickups are starting to tout their towing and haul- ing capabilities, some for the first time. The designers and engineers in Japan do not relate to "trailer-towing capacity" because that is not something they do with trucks in Japan. However, now that American engineers have plenty of input into their home offices (and indeed Toyota and Nissan pickups are built in the United States) towing capacities, special tow- ing packages and other op- tions specifically aimed at the American market are becom- ing more common on the im- port trucks. El Copley News Service Emergency Kits An emergency kit kept in the trunk of the car will make small mishaps less catas- trophic. A kit should include screwdriver, pliers, lug wrench, tire gauge, extra fan belt, blanket, flashlight, extra batteries, pencil, notebook, jack and an ice scraper for the windshield. Defensive Driving Whenever traveling on the highway, look far ahead to see how things are down the road. That gives you time to an- ticipate slowing down or changing lanes if there's an accident ahead. Car Talk Noises are a clue that something's wrong with your car. Squealing brakes mean worn brake pads. Sudden screeching under the hood signifies a worn or loose drive belt. Knocking or pinging might announce it's time for a tuneup.
