    I miss the days when extended cab pickups had just hit the scene and crew cabs were still fairly rare and kinda goofy looking.

    I told myself I’d never buy a new pickup because the cost is ridiculous. And then this dealer in Alabama started doing these. Plain Jane with cloth interior but they toss a supercharger on it. So now I’m thinking about one of these and tossing a canopy on the bed and building something to replace my camper van.

    New pick ups really aren’t that horrible, but all the yuppie mobile crew cab ultra lariat premiums with the ### massagers that everyone needs are, if they went back to buying bimmers prices would go Down

    Lol this is really funny. My wife's uncle (a typical office nerd) retired, sold his BMW M3, moved from Michigan to South Carolina and bought himself a King Ranch Powerstroke F250.
    I test drove it recently and absolutely loved the seat massagers haha

    i just got one of those maverick last year. $20k and a 1 year wait after ordering. Bought a XL no options ( but seems fully loaded to me except for cruise ) I put wheels and tires on it and have an aftermarket cruise control sitting in the office. The other 2 have roll up windows and no ac. IMG_6680.jpeg

    I asked in the reefer section but there’s more traffic over here

    Anyone running a vanguard reefer? Doing a little shopping and that’s what one of the Local dealers has

    We tried a few vanguard dry vans a few years ago, but had problems with the doors not closing well and the tandem assembly not being parallel. They got put on the sell list long before their age would have dictated.
