I looked online and I guess one of the numbers is 1682A?  The next time I
get to ALDI, I'll check.

I'd put in spring helper air bags.  I've used them extensively when towing
travel trailers.  For me, those would be a must to avoid the rear end
sagging and catching the hitch or the lift on pavement.  Plus, they help
improve the ride and comfort.

My Pathfinder had a 3-liter V6 in it (the same engine that was put in the
300Z sports car in 1995 with minor changes for use with 4WD).  Worked great
andf no issues pulling that scooter around.

My friend has a late 70s Marathon (non-livery setup; evidently very rare)
with a Chevy 350 V8 and a Turbo 350 automatic transmission in it.  A really
bulletproof car.
