Do you know how to drive a car? Because if you do, you absolutely know how to drive this truck. Unlike many other offers in the market, the new Boulanger Dakar makes driving a pickup truck a breeze. The automatic differential ensures traction to overcome any obstacle thrown at it, while presenting no problem when driving on a road and needing no extra input from the driver. Our VariSteer power steering ensures comfortable, almost car-like handling; making it easy to steer at low speeds to maneuver, but also enhancing stability at highway speeds and eliminating steering wheel jerkiness.
So is it a car that looks like a truck? Wrong! The Dakar is more than capable! It weighs only 1200kg thanks to the advanced chassis, but it is rated for 1250kg, more than many people will even be able to fit in the bed! It truly is an all-around work vehicle, perfect to gain a competitive edge for your company.
There are many who have misgivings about the price. But try it, and we can assure you it will be more than worth the difference. Sure, you could buy a slightly cheaper truck that is pretty much 4 wheels, 2 solid axles, and a basic frame that will rust in no time. With the Dakar youâd be buying quality, youâd be buying a rust-resistant vehicle that can do the same if not more. Youâd be buying solutions instead of yearsâ worth of grumbling with an unruly vehicle.

New 1984 model. Available in double and single cab, both 4x2 and 4x4
THE BETTER OPTION. THE BEST INVESTMENT!
1985 Rhisuki Bouken Delivery
Details
The Rhisuki Bouken B20 Delivery is a van based off the Boouken truck. This means it utilizes the 2.0L Rhisuki Boxer (UB201) for maximum reliability and constant torque delivery. Along side the engine is a 4-speed manual transmission designed to get optimal mileage (23.7 mpg(US). It also has the benefit if being paired with the Boukenâs optional 4x4 with manual lockers for difficult situations where 2 wheel drive would get stuck.
The Boukenâs solid rear leaf suspension allows 1039kg to be loaded in the back. While it may be tight on space due to itâs size, it allows for greater gas mileage and steering ability in tighter spaces, especially with the addition of power steering.
Comfort is not an objective when it comes to the Bouken. The interior is rather basic paired with a very standard 8 track and FM/AM radio with dual speakers. While it is not the finest interior is assures maximum affordability when it comes to buying as a fleet. Suspension was designed to assure that the ride at the very least is not unbearable at the very least.
Any ETA on the results?
This is the railway, itâs always delayed unless youâre in Japan (and weâre notâŚ)
I took this to mean that the host has a lot more work commitments than expected, and as such needs more time than usual to compile all the reviews and results.
Yup, I totally get that but weâve had absolutely nothing for 6 days.
@Keikyun - Do you have any idea when we can expect something?
I donât know how many entrants we have but I think itâs about 40 - that is a lot even for CSR. The problem is that the requirements were rather loose compared to the last rounds before so more people entered.
As a CSR host you must be very nitpicking to find a winner and throw many good cars in the trashcan without hesitation. Something I could not do and he is maybe facing this problem right now. Imo the time requirements for a CSR host are too strict. One complete week should be the regular case for the host. Nevertheless it would be nice to have the hall of shame this weekend as sorting out cars not being compliant with rules is done very fast and easy in comparison.
I think generally speaking weâre a pretty lenient bunch provided you keep up communications and let us know what, if and any, delays you face. Just saying âitâs delayed due toâ we understand that this is a video game and that real life comes first. I donât think anywhere is the one week rule set in stone, itâs just a rule of thumb. If a hosts anticipates needing more time, theyâre pretty free to add that time. And if the delays are unexpected, thats fine too so long as we have contact with them that theyâre working on it and not dead.
Announcement:
Due to irl issues⌠and my mental health⌠delays continued.
I am really sorry to disappoint you and waste your time, but I felt it would probably extend indefinitely.
Thank you all⌠I suppose.
dont worry man, treat yourself to a nice break
No problem, itâs better to have an increased delay for when youâre comfortable doing it, rather than rushing out something you donât even want to do. Reviews, and all writing really, I think rewards a healthy mindset and doing something at the right time, which is exactly what you are doing. That right time just happens to be later.
I love how supportive this community is.
Iâll jump on the band wagon: take your time. This can wait â mental health canât, I know that for certain. Take care of yourself, Kei 
Donât worry man, in the end itâs all about you. Get well soon Kei!
I have a suggestion for CSR that might ease this issue in the future:
In other (unrelated) competitions elsewhere Iâve seen it done where the rounds are staggered alongside each other, rather than one after another.
For example, the winner of CSR 112 would host 114, and in the meantime, CSR 113 would be underway to determine the host of 115. Basically, every winner hosts not the next round, but the one after. Not only would that allow a winner more time to come up with a theme, but once submissions close, there would always be another round open to start working on.
I think that could relieve some of the pressure from running this stuff, as it can be pretty time intensive, and I imagine many of us have other commitments without a ton of free time.
