It looks like someone taped two ipads on that thing. Why not round the corners off? Why square? Why does it have no sun visor over it or something. Conform it to the dash similar to the style of the car and interior. It looks lazy cheezy and cheep. |

NYC car armor.
You'll see bull bars front and rear on Mercedes or other high end vehicles with NY plates and instantly know they only have street parking in NYC. Or a huge rubber blanket fluttering behind the car that protects the rear bumper because they can't afford the bull bars. Kharn |

I'm not going to comment, because in the 70's we did the 'Big and Littles' with a jacked up rear end.
The skinniest tires you could find on the front, and the largest ones you could get, on the rear. We all thought we were Dyno Don Nicholson or Ronnie Sox.

I want a Buick or Cadillac soft ride, Everything doesn't need to handle like a BMW M5. Luxury "Cowboy Cadillac" pickup trucks. Short 5ft pickup truck beds. Aka "lifestyle" trucks Being forced to step up to expensive Trim levels just to get certain packages or features. Being forced into small displacement forced induction engines options; TOYOTA I'm looking at you! Shift knobs and buttons on vehicles. Using digital screens to control HVAC and radio functions.

Most modern pick up trucks are stupid as hell. Too big with somehow little actual functional bed space. Put the ridiculous price and increasingly shittier and shittier build qualities and it quickly becomes the biggest scam in the industry.
I once loaded more building materials into the back of a hatchback Mazda 3 with the rear seat folded down than a guy with a F-150. And with much more ease. |

During boom years, every tool pusher and drilling superintendent has a King Ranch Ford that gets beat to hell and handed down until it has 350k miles on it. No one drives a GM in that world, so that’s a moot point. You can count the Denalis, High Countrys, and King Ranches by the dozen at the sale barns and the coffee shops. Half of them have caved in bed sides or a flat bed that replaced the caved in bed. Fancy trucks don’t get babied everywhere. |
