I am not going rock crawling but I would much rather have an IFS. I saw a Gladiator driving the other day (~35 MPH) go around a paved corner that had a couple potholes and it looked like a wooden roller coaster the way it jumped and shook as it drove.

I see nothing wrong here...

But that’s where I struggle, you can buy a complete remanned engine for $11k for one of these. Why is the truck, in the condition you described, still $8,500? Blows my mind.

Right, I’m sure there is some of both but I would imagine it’s more of one than the other. I would hope it’s people who can afford it, but I also know in this day of instagram stardom that some people want to be seen living the life, even if they can’t afford it.

What I wonder is if there is any data showing people who buy $70k trucks and SUV’s. They are more popular than ever and I always wonder if those are really wealthy people or people who can just barely breath without going under in debt.

That’s valid, but I just can’t see it as a daily driver, especially if you drive in any kind of city at all.

ok, emissions makes sense, but 6 speed manual? why would anyone ever want to drive a manual pickup truck?

One thing to take into consideration is the considerable weight of that Tesla. That much weight means it will have some serious traction. I have no doubt it has the power, traction would be the only reason it wouldn’t be able to pull it in my mind.

New set of tires...so back to $20k then? lol

12-15k? For that truck with 220k miles on it? This is insane.

If you really wanna go full redneck it has to come out of the hood.

This is wildly inaccurate. Not to mention, who cares if other people spend lots of money on their vehicle or if they drive something that David Tracy would love repairing. It’s their money, let them do what they want.

Slightly harsher ride for city potholes is a downside but they ride like a dream on the highway.

He actually said he wishes Silverado families were Ram families. I don’t think he’s against trucks in general.

How can you not like a Lightning F-150?

I concur!!

The truck and the bed aren’t bad, the taillights are horrible though.

It’s killed people at just about every age range. On top of that, if you get sick you’re likely to get other people sick so stop thinking about just your self and think about the people around you. Not to mention that even if you don’t die, there are long term effects as well.

wtf is wrong with masks if it prevents the spread of disease?
