Trucks are fun.
There’s only 2 cars I’ve owned or had in the family that I would buy again. STI is one. And my F150 is another.
I was honking about my old F150. It was a fun truck.

Tons of stupid shit was done with that truck. :megusta:

Financial suicide. New model next year or year after. I’d rather have a VQ powered one from a year or two back.

When the Colorado launched, I still had my GMT400. I remember comparing dimensions, and they were remarkably similar. The old Full Size and new mid size trucks really are the perfect size IMO.

I loved my Colorado. Was a great truck.

Saw almost the same config over here. White, black wheels, Z51 with the taller wing..... and maroon stripes up and down the center of the car. :gag:

It looked okay, but honestly needs a good amount of lowering. The ass end looked like it needed about 3-4" pulled out of it so it wasn't 4x4 spec.

I have yet to see one. I also have driven once in the past two weeks, so my exposure is pretty low.
