If you are not familiar with the term Pro Touring consider the following. Trucks from the 70’s and 80’s were manufactured to perform well in a limited range driving circumstances, around the farm and at the construction site. Pro Touring is defined as a classic America muscle car with enhanced capability for braking and cornering. The essence of Pro Touring is a great handling truck that is fun to drive on the street and is also competent on a road-course.
