THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

This has probably crossed the forum here..

....but they've made the Pinny look strange.....it's "unbalanced"
How come all the companies (other than Steyr Puch), that "fiddle" with the Pinny manage to make it look worse.

I think it looks....like a Pinzgauer. I wish they would have shown more of the "improvements" made to it.

Steyr Puch/AT 718

Ricardo modified 718

Ricardo just happens to like the looks of the MAN trucks. I am not a big fan of loosing ground clearance by hanging items even lower even if the intent is not for purely offroad use. A set of battle rims/bead locks would look nice on a 712 though.

That helps....I still don't mind it, other than the crap hanging off of it.

I think it takes away from the classical look & that's a minus.

Can't see any upgrades; quite the opposite.

Improved head room and forward visibility, nice. A tall driver still would need to duck head to look out side windows.

Looks like a friggin bus. Bad choices...

That's the ugliest truck ever! Were they TRYING to make it look like crap? Cuz it does!

Well it certainly answers the headroom issue...

That FARKED it on a grade from A(best) -E z-minus

Looks like a US Post Office truck.

Would be great for us tall guys until it rains and the wipers still only do the original sized windshield!
Not a pretty or very functional redesign of the front and the crap hanging 8" from the ground on the sides is a bit of a joke.
IMHO
