Just a few reasons it's good to own a CUCV...

[CUCV420]

COPS LEAVE YOU ALONE! and when they do pull you over, they talk about your truck for 20 minutes and don't give you a ticket.

 

[SSG Rock]

Just a good strong truck.

For the money cant beat the cost of a better built work truck!

 

[NCBloodhound]

When I go to tractor supply, the yard guys fight over who gets to load my fence posts instead of hiding when they hear a yard order...

Oh, and on the last trip a guy in the parking lot helped me load my fence wire and strap it down just so we could chat about the truck...

i second that one i was going to put a stereo in my m1009 but the 6.2 is music to my ears

so true there is no sound like my 6.2 in the morning

# # ? Pulling up to Home Depot on weekend for supplies and all Illegals run for hills thinking I am Immigration! Looks like a mass exodus....

yes they do run ,,get that alot when i drive around phoenix,,its great

The turn signals aren't a request or even a suggestion, but rather a warning! I can get new fenders, doors, and bed sides all day long at just about any junk yard! Them bumpers AIN'T plastic!

HAVE THE SAME FEELING WHEN I DRIVE MY SEMI WHEN THE SIGNAL IS ON THAT MEANS I COMING OVER

Because driving your m1009 while wearing shooting glasses and a cigarette in a cigarette holder looking like Hunter s Thompson guarantees no one will mess with you Civilian or Police!!!!!!!!!!

 

[caladin]

Its a Diesel
25 years old and still running sweet!
It looks bad a*S

Don't ask where or how... but I got my 1009 up to 110 mph or so...

i managed to get to 90 on level ground once. somewhere in between fresno and sacramento.

??? Did you drop it out of a cargo plane?

Back when mine was stock I broke 100 on the 15S coming out of Vegas, in Rush Hour traffic too. I saw peoples heads turn when the giant Tan monster was out running all of them weaving through traffic. It was even a better sight that I was behind my buddy in his Tan m1009 as well.

 

[JSF01]

I've been over 90 before though between the speedometer only showing up to 85 and the needle bouncing around alot I could not tell how much faster

 

[br44]

??? Did you drop it out of a cargo plane?

no cargo planes

but after being on the road for 18 hours and drinking at least 3 redlines, i could of swore i was being chased by optimus prime.

i won that race

(if you dont know what a redline is, google it)

 

[OL AG '89]

WOW the calculator on the site says that's almost 3400 RPM..... with stock tires and gears....

I'm thinking you left a lot of the GOOD life of the truck on the road that day, but it yours and that's that!!
I get nervous at 65ish (bouncing speedometer) with the 33's and 3.08's..... (2000 RPM) but that's me......

 

[msoumas]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the M1009's zombie defense capabilities.

I thought that went without saying for any truck that comes standard with a rifle rack behind the seat.

i managed to get to 90 on level ground once. somewhere in between fresno and sacramento.

The day I picked-up my second one and drove it home I got it up to 93 on GPS, on a straight and level stretch of I-40. I had one wheel a bit out of balance, but it was still accelerating when I had to let off.

Still can't believe how fast this old truck is. Went Topless today, what fun!

 

[AECS]

mmmm Cause my buddy's kid and all the boys in the neighborhood love the "Black ops truck"

 

[rsh4364]

Its big,ugly, loud and proud.will go thru anything and still get 20 plus mpgs.That and I love seeing peoples faces when highway cruising at 70 plus mph.
