Maybe you owned a turd.

All the ones I ever owned or drove were pretty impressive. Able to tow large loads, and roast the tires off when not. More than once had a 76 over 100mph, and took it no time to get there. Only truck I owned that I didn't care for was a 77 1 ton dually, 2wd with a 454. It was a TURD. When I got rid of that gas hog, I went to a Dodge Cummins.
