Good point. I'll cover all bases.
This may be a case where I have to apologize. But this smells like raw intel gathering to me. Given the world in these times, impossible to know unless you ask. So, we shall see!
His great grandfather's name was Henry. Family name Ford.
Those fijord fellers are closing up manufacturing in Sur de America. Maybe they expect to establish themselfes in oklahoma.
I'm not sure how accurate that five percent paved number is, but Oklahoma does have a lot of unpaved roads. This is because much of the state is farm land that has been gridded every mile to allow access to fields by farm vehicles. But which are still considered roads. Much of the TransAmerica Trail consists of driving/riding along that, which is why Oklahoma is pretty much rated the most boring state to cross on that otherwise amazing route. In order to avoid just driving straight across the state, Sam Correll (TAT creator), chose some more interesting routes in the eastern part of the state, where it's somewhat hilly. Note that the TAT stays mostly north (literally along the KS/OK border for part of it) and doesn't go down south where the Wichita Mountains keep things interesting. To make up for the seemingly boring nature of the TAT across the state, when I drove it a couple months ago, we took side trips to places of interest to break the monotony--Little Sahara, Great Salt Plains, Wakita (you can see Dorothy!), Osage Hills State Park, Natural Falls State Park, etc. Anyway, if you live in Oklahoma, I highly recommend driving both the TAT and the Oklahoma Adventure Trail (OAT), and include some miles off the designated routes. I bet that you'll gain a new appreciation about what Oklahoma has to offer.
totally agree I had a vision before purchase, just like my last ride 14 yrs ago. budget was a little tighter back then. since I tend to keep them a while I slurged and bought what I wanted!

That may have been true in the 50's but personalation is common in today's car/truck groups.
