This is dumb as hell and I want it bad. Whorange Powerwagon. :fullretard: :truckyeah:
I'd love to poke around one of these and a 1500 to see what they had to do to get the new interior into the old can.

You could do worse... I dig the PowerWagons!
It's :fullretard: stupid overkill. But for some reason I'm drawn to it.

Funny thing is, the dealer price is about what you'd pay for a fully loaded JT Rubicon.
Fully loaded JT rubicon is :fullretard: pricing. It costs as much as a low level raptor which is a far better truck in every way

Until you try to drive it down a narrow street.
Yep, size is definitely limiting, especially with an oversized fullsizer.

Yea I think 220” is about the longest you can go without having to park backwards every time and having to seek out giant spaces etc. initially my :truk: ‘s size didn’t bother me much when places were empty but now that parking lots are getting packed it is starting to show it’s size. And I am rolling in the smallest mid sizer

Silver Lake is an awesome open dune area to wheel. Pretty much the only place in the midwest to have fun with something like a TRX.

The post covidization of Murican traffic and parking is a rude awakening for this :wap:

There's some scale issues making the full sizer look bigger than it is, but there's no denying it's a massive vehicle.

Now that you mention it, the lack of size creep between the gen 1 and gen 3 taco is :amaze:

Yep, based off where you're standing, the Gen 3 appears bigger.

But really, the size difference between a Gen 1 and Gen 3 Taco is minimal, the truck has barely changed.

That's because the Gen 3 is just a Gen 2 with a 2010s interior

It is quite a bit taller in the front as the bro turds have a “factory lift kit” and god knows how old the suspension on the gen 1 is. But it’s interesting to see that they are “close” in size whereas the full sizer well is full sized. I can’t imagine a v6 in something that massive

Size wise yep. Ironically the turning radius on my dual cab short bed is better than in the ext cab long bed (they are roughly the same length)

Yea, the fullsizer just dwarfs the Taco...which is part perspective, but mostly just the fact that full sizers are so huge now. That's even a half ton, if it was a 2500+, it would look even more ridiculous.

My 4.3 V6 Silverado (essentially the same truck as that GMC, actually) was actually fine. That engine is a great base truck engine, it even towed fine. But torque is really important in something this massive, putting a V6 designed for a car in that sort of vehicle is just idiotic.

Is the wheelbase shorter on the crew cab? That's weird.

The front of GM 2500 pickups look ridiculous in any setting.

Slightly longer actually. The wheels turn more... and it’s 2wd vs 4wd

They're really hideous IMO. GM design when to crap when Welburn retired.
