Pickup Truck v1.0 (TL 8)
    Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer
        
        This vehicle could be called a large car or a small truck. It might be
   used in rural areas or perhaps by craftsmen.
        The driver's compartment contains two seats, a radio and a computer/GPS
   navigation system. The rear area can hold some people or a few hundred lbs.
   of cargo (about 100 pounds, two people and the fuel are the usual payload).
   The off-road performance is good enough for farm roads, but not for a real
   wilderness area.
        The pickup is a TL08 vehicle [2nd ed.].
