Dirty and beat up? I just refer to that as "urban camoflage" meaning that most thieves wouldn't bother with it. My truck may be dirty and scratched, but the engine, brakes, transmission, etc. meticulously maintained.

I don't know what the power ratings were but IIRC their current motorhome keeps up with the diesels on mileage even when they tow a Jeep J series (CJ etc.) with all four wheels on the ground.
