Law Dog my original plan was to rebuild the little ranger i liked so much. Buy a crate motor with a 100,000 mile warranty and an aftermarket chip to give it a few more pony's. However my wife crashed it right after I had the brakes completely replaced. Everything but the master cylinder it was still pretty new. The front end was all gone through as well. About 3 grand and change. I thought about looking for another and making one out of two but decided against it. I kept my dakota. Has a lot of miles now and some rust. It should stay close to home now. Or get a lot of money spent on it. If somebody shows up with a handful of hundred dollar bills I could be talked into selling it. It has no mechanical problems just a lot of miles. A lot of them off road miles.

I looked for about a year and finally my new boss, he hadn't started the job yet, put his up for sale. 2010 2500 HD with a new flatbed...more.truck than I needed but it was the only 1 I could find. Looks like a new 1 and he wouldn't get it muddy. Told him he better take a pic cause he would never see it that clean again...lol

Some makes/models are done for the year. They're just skipping ahead to the 22 models I just wonder how many 2021 are actually sitting there waiting for chips. Will the 22 be waiting for them or are they going to make those at normal capacity and sit them in the lot

The traction option I want only comes with the auto transmissions so I had to pass on the stick idea. Trd off Rd comes in a manual with rear locker but only in the 5 foot bed 4 door option, is that the traction option you're referring to? I just bought a manual trd off Rd in December.

My year 2018 the crawl control option only came on the TDR Off Road auto models the stick option was available on the TDR Sport models but not the Off Road ones. I don't see that the crawl control option is even offered now that I could tell but the Stick is offered in 2020 it looks like but not seeing the crawl control option?

I "built one" at the Toyota site to see the options but did not see the Crawl control option but see its offered in 2021 one site said? Pretty sure its on autos only its hands and foot free when its engaged it has a bunch of controls up where the map lights are above the driver, go to YouTube to see it in action its pretty cool.
Found it on the Toyota site only listed on the off road models and only autos I pretty sure because of how it works, it also came with the locking rear axle to boot.

I've sent my 2019 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71 back to the dealership for the third time for the rear window leaking. At this point I'm requesting a buyback/replacement since this seems to be factory defect that breaks the window frame. I noticed the dealership had one LT model on the lot and one LTZ(not in white) on the lot and that was it for new trucks. They told me they just got them and they would be sold within a week. If they buy it back I'm expecting the same truck as a replacement but their website shows some of the features I've got as not available and I'm being told its due to supply shortages of components.

I put 5 grand into my little D50 about 9 years ago still running well today I’d go cross country with it no problem saved me a lot on truck and insurance payments paid for itself over the first few years

Too much garbage, totally Unnecessary garbage for a vehicles main function, haul your butt down the road.

Depends on what you need for a truck. I dont need to pull more than a 2 ton trailer or a big truck bed. My pickup needs to go offroad. I trap in some pretty rough and pretty remote places sometimes. I bought a dodge dakota in 08. Its offroad ability is pretty sorry. So I just bought a jeep gladiator. Went to the jeep web site build your gladiator page. When I finished I had a price. Then had to find a dealer to order it. They all wanted to sell me what was already on their lot but no one had what I had specked out. Finally found a dealer in Olathe that would order it. I dont think they make as much as they would like when you do that. Told me it would take 10 weeks to get but only took about 6. So far I like it better everytime I drive it. Window sticker said made for Danny Clifton on top. kinda cheezy but I liked it anyway. Q: What do you call a white Jeep ? A. An Elisabeth Warren moblie It is white , but calls itself a Cherokee Yes, I know that is not a Cherokee in the picture , but I heard this joke and had to share it....lol
