Think they are overloaded?

That little Ford Courier (ahem, Mazda) better have a good set of running gear & suspension!

It looks cool, anyway:

Cool pic! I haven't seen an old Courier in that great shape for a long time!

Some folks need to lighten up on here a little....:R

Thanks!

And ... yep. I figure this post would get the gamut of replies, and I was RIGHT!

Perhaps I should have photoshopped a nice elevated hitch in the box of the Courier coupled to the fiver - yea, yea, that would have been the ticket!

I fibbed a tiny bit about me photoshopping the image - I removed the numbers/letters on the Courier's license plate. Else, it is as original as the camera captured it.

That is a good looking Courier, however. Whoever restored it did a good job. My brothers used to have the full moons on their 40s & 50s cars.

Have fun, and RV on!

It's not overloaded, just reversed. That fifthwheel should be in front driving the Courier....

No overload unless they actually hitch up. When do we see that picture?
Otherwise you can put a motorcycle in the same position.

No photoshop here - I took the picture. I have a couple others from different angles.

Interesting because the shadows don't match up.

Not photoshoped at all, those shadows are perfect.
great pic op

If you zoom in it's not connected and won't be unless the truck gets a 18" lift.

Looks like they match up to me but irrelevant. Just someone parked in front of a 5er. I park under the pin of my 5th wheel with my Blazer all the time.

I don't see the problem.

Those 90's GMC throttle-body pickups - just before changing to the Vortex engine - were grand old trucks.

I just this past week spent around $2K on our 1995 Z71 GMC pickup keeping it in top mechanical shape. It runs great and pulls a horse trailer just fine in 2WD or 4WD.

Probably parked it there to keep someone from hooking up and hauling off his trailer.

So it's a Ford Courier hitch lock.

Nice photo shop job!
I like it also!!

I overhauled the engine on one of these rigs many moons ago - it was quite the experience.

The days of the mini-truck are gone, and I sure miss them! I had a '72 1/2 Datsun pickup that I rebuilt, then an 82 extended cab in light blue, then an 88 Mazda extended cab in burgundy/dover white. We then moved to a 90 Silverado pickup, then to the 93 GMC in my sig. My son still has the 93.

This album contains pics of vehicles I've had or have an association with: Cars and Trucks and Boats, oh my!
