Here's a freezing rain Sat. afternoon question. Who is designing these trucks?
Ford just couldn't make a larger grill.
Chevy has the biggest bizare size'ed bumper in the world.
If Dodge layed the windshield back any further it would be a moon roof!

They did it for fuel economy. Leave your heater on defrost, and you will be fine.

I personally think the Ford is a good looking truck and the GM is the best its looked in, well forever. The Dodge seems to have funny head lights but still looks nice, just not as nice as the ones a few years ago.

To me the F-150 is the best looking truck on the road right now followed closely by the Tundra then the Titan.

Just tell me why I can't get a Ford Superduty (solid axle, locking hubs, manual shift transfer case) with Cummins power and an Allison automatic ? :cool:

Right On!

(or how about an old 2 stroke GMC)

Because there are better diesel choices out there, if you have deep pockets, you can build one? Wish we could by a light duty glider kit truck! :)

Not sure if we have the same idea of "better"
I like less bells, less computers, less whistles, less BS and more truck. But I am really turning into an old cranky guy also!
I like the glider idea!
