So sad. You will be deeply missed in Canada. Your grandchildren wont understand, you were a great man, an amazing teacher, an someone I looked up to for years. Always there if I needed a hand or any help at all. The kindness that is rare in this world today. RIP Kahn, my thoughts and prayers to the entire family in Guyana, and the ones I have grown up with in Canada.

I have a F150 and these trucks are workhorses.
Pickups are very dangerous to drive when there is no load at the back.
It sounds like it has an extra cab. All the same a front wheel blow out on dirt road coupled with excessive speed can give disastrous outcome.
