10 SHOCKING Vehicles You Didn't Know US Postal Services Use

[@bennetfox]

I must inform you that the iron duke engine you speak of at the very beginning of the video *is* a four-cylinder engine.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@bennetfox Thank You Sir. Highly appreciate your feedback 😇 Stay connected Sir.

@ Good for you Sir. 😇

[@ericschultz1073]

Um… the llv is not a Chevy, it’s a Grumman. Plus the iron duke is an inline 4 as well. And those have actually have over 3k dollars average for maintenance each year due to age and mileage.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@ericschultz1073 Thank You for watching sir

[@BobZalenski-k4o]

You forgot about how many Ford Pintos were involved in postal delivery.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@BobZalenski-k4o Thank You 🙏

[@MK-of7qw]

I remember the post jeeps when i was a kid but then they were replaced in the 90s by the LLV's. I still see LLV's in my area. None of the newer ones yet.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@MK-of7qw very true. Same here 😅

[@metzger2863]

Please do better research and check your dates and data. A number of the points about who made the vehicles and when they were built are pretty far off - the Jeep DJ-5 Dispatcher was built from 1955-1984, not the 1980s-1990s, and was built by several companies, not just Jeep. The "GMC Mail Truck" and "Grumman LLV" you're talking about in this video are the same vehicle. Who proofed this?

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@metzger2863 Thank You for the feedback & such a strong and positive critique. We appreciate your input and will certainly improve the process of the upcoming productions. Stay connected 😇

[@masjuggalo]

He forgot the Cummins 4-cylinder that was also available in that step van. I mean we always call them bread trucks though

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@ yeah remember that one. The bread trucks 😅

[@latsmacro3986]

i'm pretty AMERICAN AUTOS is an AI channel

[@masjuggalo]

@latsmacro3986 somebody is programming something?

[@paulchamberlain3359]

No matter what vehicle they used to deliver the mail my dog always knows the sound of a mail truck

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@paulchamberlain3359 that’s really true sir. The dogs know them 😅

[@brianrobertson877]

Start, stop, start, stop. Bark and we go away, Victory!

[@HostileMAV]

Where I live, We still get our mail dailivered in LLVs and sometime I see Mercedes vans with the post office logo over the Mercedes badge

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@HostileMAV amazing Sir.

[@shekharmoona544]

Some of the old LLV'S actually float. I had to drive through a flood once in Jacksonville and the vehicle lost traction luckily it floated just long enough to regain traction. I don't know why the police thought it was smart to wave people through a flood. I just happened to get lucky.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@shekharmoona544 wow. Amazed to hear that.

[@Attakai_The_Kitty]

This entire video is AI generated

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@Attakai_The_Kitty please explain How?

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@Attakai_The_Kitty Thank You for watching

[@CodeBlueChroniclesFiveM]

@@AMERICAN-AUTOS Simple explanation, almost all of your information in this video is incorrect. There are several vehicles that were repeated and the lack of knowledge.

[@stephenspilker9334]

i still remember our office had amc eagles and ford pinto's lol

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@stephenspilker9334 glad to bring back some good old memories sir. 😅

[@richj120952]

You missed the Jeep Fleetvan!! 4 cy F head, automatic transmission. Roll up rear door, right hand drive, set up to be able to stand while driving. Flip down front screened 4 inch window to allow air flow. Why skip it?

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@richj120952 will cover in another production very soon. Stay connected to see your favourite one 😃

[@masjuggalo]

So I'm pretty sure the DJ5 had a chassis. And I'm mostly sure of this because my buddy had a one that was four-wheel drive with a body lift that he used to plow his driveway

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@masjuggalo that’s amazing Sir.

[@danielulz1640]

Definitely body on frame construction.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@ yes

[@albear972]

Why exactly were the LLV and the Jeep mentioned twice?

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

Thank You for watching

[@shekharmoona544]

I think there's a picture of Marines escorting a Columbia Mail truck at one point in history. I can't remember the full story. The USPS once had missiles or something that resembled it that delivered mail.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@shekharmoona544 that’s awesome.

[@bobbysenterprises3220]

The iron duke is an inline for just like the 2.0L that replaced it. But the 2.0 is overhead cam with port injection as where the iron duke was a over head valve with throttle body injection.

[@TheSleepingonit]

Cool looking vehicles

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

Thank You

[@calvincrews3885]

I used the see those around nj years ago only few left and there’s new models

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@calvincrews3885 yes indeed. 😇

[@brianrobertson877]

What about the horses, airplanes, and Segways?

[@1armijo]

Safer and cheaper to buy existing commercial vehicles than wasting big money on junk.

[@brianrobertson877]

with right hand drive? A place to put the mail instead of a passenger seat. Sliding door to exit easily? Which vehicle does that?

[@charleskadletc2431]

Don't forget postal trucks maybe coming out with electric vehicles soon if not now. I heard their now being " tested".

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@charleskadletc2431 EVs are seriously everywhere now. Next might be the self driving ones for downsizing. 😅

[@D-M-J]

Georgia already has the new EV Mail trucks and vans my post office isn't getting the new EV trucks til some time next year

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@D-M-J Thank You for sharing the info.

[@D-M-J]

@@AMERICAN-AUTOS anytime!

[@BobZalenski-k4o]

And most of those Gruman vehicles had very little HEAT AT ALL !

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@BobZalenski-k4o great to know that Sir.

[@NeuroPedsDad]

Nice video. You may want to tighten up on your fact checking, especially with date ranges. If you like postal vehicles, you may want to review the new Oshkosh NGDV that the Post Office debuted this past June 2024. It comes in 4 or 2 wheel drive and gas or electric. Man is the thing ugly. It looks like the designer was someone at Pixar taking LSD.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@NeuroPedsDad Thank You Sir. Really appreciate your kind feedback. Will certainly get that thing live by the end of this month. Stay tuned for that Sir. 😇

[@garyclack3807]

You might want to be where these trucks are at 35 years old and not taken well care of

[@sircampbell1249]

RPO didn't make list

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@sircampbell1249 Thank You for watching Sir 😇

[@MichaelTucker-n9n]

So the LLV is # 10 and number #2

[@mikem2736]

If you want a strange postal "vehicle" the US Mail is delivered to the Phantom Ranch in Arizona by mule!

[@rupe53]

Nothing shocking here at all.

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@rupe53 hmmm

[@Little-Oshawott-2010]

I wonder if second-hand Grumman LLVs can be converted into ice cream trucks for right-hand drive countries in the Caribbean Sea like Trinidad & Tobago, the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Caymen Islands, and Bermuda or South Pacific countries like Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, or Papua New Guinea?

[@AMERICAN-AUTOS]

@@Little-Oshawott-2010 great.

[@CodeBlueChroniclesFiveM]

A lot of your information is incorrect in this video. Maybe also think about putting these vehicles in a chronological order as well? Just a thought. Edit: Another thing I found out is that the AM General Postal Jeep is the same exact Jeep DJ5 you covered at the end.

[@MrPrivatejarhead]

Stolen video of the LLV (first vehicle) from RCR's channel
