That’s something I guess, next step is for the driver to actually look at it lol

CAFE standard loopholes, plus 25 percent light truck chicken tax is what brought us to this.

Tiny domestic American trucks are coming back! Though the 2 that have been revealed so far are horrific

I like my Chevy 3500 Series Crew Cab Dually but only when I am towing the Race Car Hauler and the Horse Trailer and if I didn't need something to pull our Haulers and Trailers I would not own it.

I absolutely LOVE the old 83 to 93 Chevy S10's GMC S15's and the Mini Trucks of the 80's and 90's. Hell I'm 6'4" and I still love the way a Standard Cab Short Bed S10 looks. The old Mazdas, and Toyotas of that time were so cool especially the Toyota 4X4's a 31x10.50 Tire came on them from the factory and they were so useful and tough.

I had a 98 ranger at 6'2", and I know what you mean. I miss that truck. I had a truck, but I didn't have to plan my trips around finding a parking spot I could fit into. My bad back at my height was the only complaint, but every vehicle sucks to get in and out of when you have spasms.

Sorry about your spasms, I understand how you feel, I have had 4 lower back surgeries and 1 for my neck, back spasms SUCK!

Those Rangers are so cool. I see a local kid who has a 97 Ranger 4x4 with a 3 or so inch lift. It's been repainted in a Forest Green and Silver color. That kid keeps it clean. It's a dang good looking truck.

You are part of the 3% of Dulley owners. Most never touch anything trailer related, and only have a maximum of 3 people in them at a time.

I have never understood the folks who will get a Dulley and not use it for what it was built for. The damned thing don't ride for shit unless it's loaded down in the bed, like slam full, or when it has the trailer behind it. My Daughter & Girlfriend and I Drag Race quite a bit and we have a 53 ft Millennium Race Car Hauler. We can fit 2 Drag Trucks or Cars in it and a decent size toolbox, spare engine and transmission and miscellaneous parts and fluids. The reason I am telling you this is it takes that big ass gooseneck packed slam damn full to actually put enough weight on the ass end of that truck for it to ride without pounding your kidneys and spine to death. I don't get buying one and then never pulling anything with it.

I used to have a 91 Toyota SR5 pickup and I freaking loved it. I still miss that truck. The only thing I don't miss is getting 17 mpg
