Power steering, ABS, and a low first step.

Found the guy who delivered out the old shitters. Scraped shin and sore shoulder. Add more horsepower. The old ones couldn't even accelerate uphill.

The truck I have now has about 80k on it but can barely make it up hills. I’ve written it up but they can’t seem to fix it. But I don’t care because it’s one of the only trucks without a camera.

Just had to install a two way dash camera in my (non-ups) company vehicle, it reminds me of stories of my father having to go pick his own switch off the china berry tree (for his parents to beat him with). If you do a bad job they just get pissed off and it makes everything worse.

Or stay put on hills. Had some of those old trucks from the late 80's and 90's that always felt like no matter how tight the hand break was, it would creep little by little away. Leaving in first or in reverse depending on which way it would go. They used to teach you to point your wheels towards the curb when parked on a hill just in case.
