I had a chrysler in 52, what a piece of junk never buy another chrysler as long as I live. We have all heard this about some other product. BUT do you think Chrysler has improved over the years ??? Has technology improved over the years ???
The USA version of the Tuk Tuk is unlike any other. It is designed for road stability.

Interstingly, I bought my son a Dodge (Chrysler product) pickup truck. Underneath the Mopar badges was a Mitsubishi.

“The America version of the Tuk Tuk is equal to a 1/2 ton truck. SIZE - well all I can say is please visit the website.”

Thanks for the info. I made my post on May 13th. So, I was sort of surprised to receive your response over two weeks after. But, I will indeed visit your website. As the owner of Chevy Silverado 1500 crewcab, I am curious about your comment “equal to a 1/2 ton truck”. During the oil embargo of the 70’s and early 80’s I rode a motorcycle to and from work and for running errands, etc. I am considering purchasing a motorcycle to do the same again. But, now that I am old I am not as receptive to the notion of being exposed to the elements as I was thirty years ago...

How many seconds does it take for the Tuk Tuk go from 0 to 40 mph? If it’s fairly decent, it could see a lot of use in first ring suburbs where that’s generally the top speed.

Cushman is STILL in business.

A number of the small utility vehicles used by Disney World in Orlando, FL, are four-wheeled Cushmans. They have a full complement of lights, and ample seating for operator, but are considered not road-worthy because they lack a number of mandated safety features.

John Deere builds the Gator utility vehicle, which if ever ruled roadworthy, would be the modern equivalent of the post-WWII Jeeps. There are a number of other manufacturers of similar utility vehicles, most of them of Asiatic origin.

Unlike the Tata.

Yeah, but who doesn't love the TaTas?
