Transmissions matter a lot when it comes to diesel trucks. That's because pulling power isn't just limited by the power and torque of the engine, but also by the strength of the transmission responsible for delivering that power and torque to the wheels. As a result, most diesel truck owners want to know that their truck has a solid transmission behind their engine, especially if heavy towing is a part of the equation.

The original North American Ford Escort was based (somewhat loosely) on its European cousin and was sold from the 1981 through 1990 model years. After that, the mighty Ford Empire turned to its Japanese ally, Mazda, for the Escort's platform and that's where it remained until the final ZX2 Escort coupes were sold here as 2003 models. I've neglected those early Mazda-based Escorts in this series up until now, so here's one found in a Colorado car graveyard recently.

( ) – While pickup trucks are known for their wide array of capabilities, including off-road adventures, hauling heavy loads, and even offering a fair degree of luxury in their upper trim levels, a truck’s maximum towing capability is typically its most impressive specification. Unlike SUVs that have to balance passenger space and cargo capacity with towing needs, trucks have a more utilitarian focus that’s reflected in their powertrains specs, including payload capacity and tow rating.

Early Jeep CJ models that evolved from the Quad that Willys Overland built for the Army in the 1940s were gradually made more civilian-friendly over the next few decades, with the very similar CJ-5 and CJ-7 representing the last of that line. When Chrysler purchased the Jeep brand along with AMC in 1987, it replaced the CJ-7 with the Wrangler, which was more highway-ready than the CJ, yet still a capable off-roader. Jeep has sold more than five million of the stubby SUVs since then, adding modern features like airbags, GPS navigation, and anti-lock brakes along the way.
