I'll throw in my thoughts. Having worked for Yale for many years the biggest differece I see between NACCO and Toyota is simplicity (I now work for Toyota). Toyota has had one engine and basically one transmission for 21 years. NACCO has the two Mazda engines (Very good engines) and the 3.0L GM engine (Not nearly as good as Mazda, but more power). They have three engines and four transmissions. By my count this is a possible 12 combinations (I know only certain packages are offered). Toyota has one transmission with one engine.

The old GLC050RGNUAE083s were great trucks but the Veracitor may have been too big a step without the proper engineering resources.

By the way, does anyone remember what the "J" in the older Yale model number stood for? GLC030CBJUAT083?

Does anyone know what the "U" stands for in a Toyota model 7FGCU15.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
