lamart72 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Saw this on Craiglist and was wondering if this could be a metric ton truck. I can see some sort of badge on the tailgate but the picture is too grainy to see clearly. http://brownsville.en.craigslist.org/cto/4508965846.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyJeep401 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Looks to me like an 86 XLS, as for the badge on the back, I bet it is command trac badge. That's what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think the " metric ton" badge was only put on the trucks in 87 or 88 . My guess is that is just for the command trac or select trac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Was there a factory Metric Ton package for the 86? Doubt it, but do not know for sure. The V6 had a much lower tow rating than the 87+ 4.0. If I recall, 3500 lbs vs. 5000 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yes. '86 Metric Ton came with the stout single piece shaft AMC20 though. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Pioneer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Pretty sure that's a Command Trac emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So Rob, what was the factory tow rating on the 86 Metric ton package? And how about the GVW for the Metric Ton package. I do not have an 86 owners manual. Did know about the AMC 20 in the 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'll have to look it up. It could be had with any engine though. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
