I don’t think so, I think a new F150 tailgate is about what I paid for my salvage yard one. The problem is it’s a bare tailgate, you have to paint it and then switch all the parts over.Probably cost $2000-$2500 new

I was thinking more about pulling into traffic, or making a left turn onto the highway. There are a lot of intersections where you come in at an angle. I try to put the truck at a 90 degree angle to the road I'm entering, otherwise you have a narrow field of vision between the back of the front seat and the rear door pillar. I have had people pull around me when I do so.Before that one time, you had to order the large rear window to get close to 360 degrees.
For seeing what's coming up behind me on the right, I use the (now standard) right side mirror.
Although, mostly driving on 2-lane roads it's not an issue. And on multi lane roads I'd be quite embarrassed if about to be passed on the right. Plus, it's rare that I get passed on any kind of road.
I can relate to that. Drove a K5 Blazer with covered side and rear windows in Los Angeles traffic for about 10 years. And a Peterbilt with a sleeper, so also no side visibility except for the door windows.I was thinking more about pulling into traffic, or making a left turn onto the highway.

Apparently my left blinker and that double yellow line don't mean anything.
Our 2005 Volvo had little pop-up windshield washer nozzles in front of each head lamp, that squirted washer fluid onto them to melt ice and snow. No need for a wiper, they just blew dry. Not sure if that would work on a camera, might cause too much aberration of the image while wet, but would be interesting to try.Just what we need, another (very very small) wiper blade to try and change out...![]()
So…$2000 - $2500.I don’t think so, I think a new F150 tailgate is about what I paid for my salvage yard one. The problem is it’s a bare tailgate, you have to paint it and then switch all the parts over.
I completely detest the idiots that drive fast on our dirt roads. Blind curves and knolls endangering others on the road. I enjoy watching them have to stand on the brakes and almost lose it stopping before they run into the rear of me, especially when I have a 14 foot disk or chisel plow trailing along behind me. Or the ones that come drifting around a corner taking up the whole road and see that 8 foot wide bucket staring them in the face.I love driving our Jeep Mojave fast on dirt roads, handles them perfect.
It is not just dirt or gravel roads the same applies to narrow paved county roads. Ours is barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass with plenty of blind spots yet they go at it like they are driving at Le Mons.I completely detest the idiots that drive fast on our dirt roads.

The same here most of the town roads that are paved have no painted center lines or white lines on the edges just 16-18 foot of paved width. Lots of blind corners and knolls that you can't see over or past. The main farms driveway is on top of a knoll that you can not see over for traffic till you are almost on top of it. And I have had idiots pass or try and pass as I slowing down to turn into the driveway, they had absolutely no way of knowing what was heading towards them.It is not just dirt or gravel roads the same applies to narrow paved county roads.

In that game, mud runner, or truck simulator, anything is possible...
Never seen anything like this truck.
