What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[Northernregal]

Okay, and what are you basing that claim off of?

Ride, IFS architecture, dodge and Ford having 5' beds, +/- 6" of total suspension travel, weak drivetrain (for truck stuff), as much bling and convenience as a soccer mom SUV, +20" rims with factory all season tires, standards and bench seats being extinct.

I missed a few things but I think I covered the majors.

I despise modern loaded trucks regardless of brand.

All I want is a v8 4wd ext cab 6.5ft bed pickup that's 3-6 years old

I'm a wimp and want heated seats but that's the only 'luxury' feature I want.

But holy crap is it hard to get. Everything is ultra mega hexa cab with 5' bed, turbo 4 or 6, and one or two options bumps you into bling wheels and 40+ grand

Go older than 3-6 years and extend your range beyond the rotbelt.

1.) Ride?
2.) Every manufacturer has been running IFS 4WD on their half tons for 20 years or more.
3.) 5 and half foot beds, same as everyone else. I don't disagree they are useless but 6.5' and 8' are still available.
4.) It's a lot more than 6" of travel.
5.) Weak drivetrain? The 6R80 is damn near bulletproof, the 10R80 is proving to be very reliable, as are the super 8.8 and 9.75 rears. Hard to argue the 2.7L, 3.5L, or 5.0L are weak.
6.) All these trucks are available with blinged out packages. They aren't standard. Steel wheels, 8' beds, and vinyl bench seats are still standard equipment.

New trucks bad. Old trucks good.

And clank clank clank and leak leak leak.

I'd like to swap one into the dually, but I can buy a lot of gas for the cost of that swap.
