		<description><![CDATA[Mazda B Series trucks include their engine size as part of their name. For example, the Mazda B-2300 regular cab pickup has an engine displacement of 2,267 cubic centimeters which is 2.3 liters. Continued over from previous years, this engine is a double overhead cam (DOHC), inline, four cylinder front engine that has an 87.6 mm bore and a 94 mm stroke. The compression ratio is 9.7 to 1. With four valves per cylinder, the 2.3 liter engine delivers its 143 maximum horsepower at 5,250 rpm. Its maximum torque is output at 3,750 rpm. The multi point fuel injection helps the truck rate a fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon (mpg) city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg composite. It carries a maximum payload of 1,200 pounds and can tow 2,260 pounds.

The other B series truck, the Mazda B4000 features a 4.4 liter, six cylinder engine that serves up a maximum 207 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 238 foot pounds at 3,000 rpm. It also is equipped with multi point fuel injection. The EPA mileage rating for this engine is 15 mpg city, 19 mpg highway and an average of 16 mpg. The maximum tow weight for this vehicle is 3,140 pounds.

In North America, the B series trucks are the same as the Ford Ranger pickup. Most automotive critics point to the small engine offerings of the B series, saying that the truck is under powered. The B series was discontinued at the end of the 2009 model year, but it's alter ego, the Ford Ranger continues to be available.

		<description><![CDATA[There has always been a huge craze among the American general public about owning a used military vehicle. These vehicles are used by the armed forces, the US military to conduct various operations but over a period of time due to heavy wear and tear and fast depreciation, they are not of great use. The forces always try to keep up with the latest technology and aim to add the fastest and most efficient vehicles to their fleet. For this reason even their excellent conditioned vehicles are discarded by them over a period of time.

Though used military vehicle is of no use to the army but there are many takers for it who wait eagerly for them to become available for sale. There are however two ways to get such vehicle, one is through direct auctions organized by the government agencies and other by way of websites that offer these vehicles online to a large number of people. Auctions are held at regular intervals and it is the best place to find the vehicle of your choice. Online vehicle sale is also popular that lets you have a comparative look at the vehicle along with the price.

There are various reasons for people to go for the used military vehicle. Many opt to buy them as they are cheap as compared to what they might get in the open market. Secondly people even purchase them for their excellent maintenance and condition which is far better than any other second hand vehicle available in the open market. Army takes great pride in maintaining their vehicles in best condition hence you can always find a new looking vehicle at one such auction.

There are also a large number of people who just own the used military vehicle for the love of it. They are the hoarders who take pride in collecting them as antique or vintage models. The history behind every such vehicle gives them reasons to feel proud about owning them. Under this category are the museums who display these vehicles along with their colorful history. Among these collector's items are the Sherman tanks and jeeps.

Last but not the least are the industries that are on the look out for used military vehicle for two reasons, one they are comparatively cheaper than from the market and other their toughness is what they are looking for. Mining and construction industries use vehicles like land rovers and Hummers for their ruggedness.

		<description><![CDATA[When looking at used trucks, remember that no matter what the brand is you should always have an educated engineer or someone experienced in automotives give you advice. Not everyone can tell at first glance what constitutes a good truck. You cannot always rely on salesmen to tell you the complete truth. Here we describe the top 5 used trucks by brand and model.

Volvo Trucks 
The best Volvo's to get currently are used trucks, ever since Volvo's price increase on new vehicles in 2001, more used Volvo's are being purchased. The only backdrop to buying used Volvo's is you don't get that guarantee of no problems for the first 6 years. The company is though been known to have reliable used vehicles if in good enough condition left by previous owner.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks 
First thing is if you like big, and I mean BIG, this is the brand for you. Typically the best thing you can get out of this brand is big trucking vehicles and also military trucks. If you don't know where to start looking I would personally refer you to investing in a used truck with a huge upper bunk. Its not fun trucking if your not comfortable. Buying used Mercedes saves you tons of money, any good taken care of truck can be just as reliable as a new truck. And with Mercedes, going the used route will get you more for your money in the long run. You could be just as likely to break down in a new truck then a used truck depending on the year and miles used. Why blow the extra money?

Scania Trucks 
I personally would recommend this brand over Mercedes if you have a little more cash and want a little more space. These trucks tend to be a little bit more into the style, if your more worried about what you want your truck to look like. Not everyone wants to get seen in a used truck that looks like a bus though... and Scania tends to master that aspect. With its famous flat nosed models. But don't worry their not all like that!

MAN Trucks 
For such a unique name they really don't set themselves apart with their trucks physical appearance. But according to rumors the reliability more then makes up for its lack of originality. This is a better company to look into if your looking for something more settle, not as towering and frightening as some of the other brands may make their trucks seem.

But really... 
When it comes down to it. The price of a used truck in comparison to a new one is unbeatable. And if your starting up a new company used trucks are more financially friendly. It allows you a safe source of transportation for your companies goods and that large chunk of money you saved from getting a new truck will make good backup finances for your business when and if it ever hits a hard spot.

		<description><![CDATA[While Chevy and Ford have been out trying to improve the comfort and ride of their "heavy duty" line up, Dodge did something different -- they turned to the master of comfort in Mercedes. In fact, Dodge, once owned by Mercedes, took not just a lesson in amenities, but also used the trademark Mercedes unibody construction to improve the handling and maneuverability of their beefy trucks. And this couldn't have come at a better time, as soon after Dodge trucks exploded on the market with the new rounded grill and the sought after Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, they were sharply criticized for the unreliable transmission. Seems that Dodge built an engine so mighty that their transmission couldn't keep up.

So what did they do? They used Mercedes innovative RFE transmission, complete with the antifreeze bladder to not just perform every bit as well as their Cummins engine, but also to reduce the engine noise vibration and harshness. But the innovative Dodge team didn't stop there. The list of Mercedes features they added were impressive, from the high intensity discharge lights, soft touch interior, and LED lighting to the rain-brake support, they left the customer wanting nothing.

And to be sure, Dodge trucks have consistently outperformed their counterparts in the torque and power categories, but now any deficiencies in comfort, or safety -- two Mercedes hallmarks -- are a thing of the past. Now, with Dodge's new designs, fans can have the best of both worlds, the best built trucks, and the most comfortable -- all at an affordable price. No longer will those who need the power of a truck have to succumb to the often harsh ride, deplorable gas mileage, or hefty price tag. Dodge, or more accurately, now Ram --the two brands split in 2010 --has solved all of that for the customer, and once again, left no stone unturned. And along with the brand division, Ram will be rolling out a sweet new line up.

		<description><![CDATA[Monster trucks are pick-up trucks that have been custom built, or modified, to have massive wheels. They provide an exciting form of sports entertainment which is extremely popular in the USA. You will often find these trucks featured at events like mud-bogging, tractor pulls, or motocross.

These huge beasts usually have one main task to perform - that's to crush as many small cars under its gigantic tires as possible. In their quest to do this, the trucks have to climb over all sorts of daunting man-made obstacles. Watching a live event is the ultimate thrill for fans of these giants.

At certain events, you will only see one truck on a track. The most exciting events involve two trucks on symmetrical tracks racing against each other. All trucks are fitted with a switch called a RII (Remote Ignition Interrupter) which enables the driver to shut down the motor if he or she loses control of the vehicle.

Another great spectator event is when the trucks go 'freestyle'. Each driver can select their own course and obstacles. During a freestyle event you are guaranteed to see a number of death-defying jumps and wheel stands. Not forgetting the motor home that gets crushed to pieces in the gripping finale. If it's not a motor home, it's bound to be a small airplane or a school bus!

You can bring mini monster trucks into your own home! Get your own remote controlled truck and encourage your friends to follow suit. Once you have a gang of buddies, some trucks and a track, you can capture all the excitement in your own back yard. Get some small toy cars and let your monsters crush them into the dirt!

Look online and view the well known brands, or join a mini monster truck forum and get advice from those in the know. Decide whether you would prefer an electric powered truck or a gas powered model. Electric trucks are quieter but gas trucks go faster. If you are going to race indoors then electric is recommended.

Locate a hobby shop in your area and go and have a good look at the different types of trucks. This is a good way to see them in real life. Once you have decided on your favorite, don't buy it from the hobby shop until you have compared the price online. You might be able to get it for less. A final tip - you don't have to buy the best brands to have just as much fun with your mini monster trucks.

		<description><![CDATA[It will always be both rewarding and fun to build model trucks for many people. A hobby that has transcended many generations now it can allow you to show people how much skill you have built. You could just stick them on a shelf somewhere and let them gather dust or you can actually create a special display for it. This will allow your model to have much more character than it normally would. The way to achieve this is by building a diorama.

When you create a scene that is true to life but built to scale it is known as a diorama. Whether it is a scene from nature or of an actual city is totally up to you. You can also chose to enclose your diorama in glass or even in clear plastic sheeting. You might also choose to just mount it on a board for a general sort of display. By knowing where dioramas originated you might be better know why this would make a good choice.

A part of history, dioramas have been around for centuries. They have always been used as a means of reproducing actual scenes that have been scaled down. Museums use them now to be able to create displays showing historical scenes. People have been using dioramas for a way to have a small dollhouse scene. Many times they would use shoeboxes to do this. These mini rooms would sometime even be a tiny copy of their own rooms. Model makers have been been using dioramas to be able to display their models for some time now.

Most dioramas are usually built to match the model truck that is going to be displayed in them. One example would be that of a 1930's model milk truck. You would not want to set this in a modern city setting. It would be much more at home in a setting based around a dairy farm. Unfortunately many model builders have grown up and gotten out of building dioramas altogether.

If you decide to go with a diorama as a means of displaying your model truck you will be carrying on a tradition that could else pass away. So how do you begin the process of building a diorama? It is easy enough, you will begin by deciding what time period you should be building. This will begin to help you get ideas as to how it should be built. Make sure that your model truck fits into the scene. You will not want to be anachronistic unless this is what you are specifically trying to do.

After choosing your time period you are then ready to decide on the specific details of the project. If you are building a dairy then you should think about a barn and cows. If it is a tow truck then you might set it outside of a filling station. You might try looking at pictures in an encyclopedia. These can give you great ideas on the way that your buildings and scenes should appear for the chosen time period. No matter where you get your information, be it books, personal photos, or the Internet you will be keeping an age old tradition alive.
