Hey, I need to borrow your tube bender once you get it....

Sounds good haha Get to break in the vehicle with a road trip to Iowa! Hell yeah.

.... OR, the evolutionary mechanics in automobiles has hit a wall, and the only way they can charge more for the same vehicle, is to add in hi priced electrocinal doo-dads with back up cameras and 360* cameras, and forward facing cameras, cameras and screens instead of mirrors, and lets make it also a work station with a table saw and tube bender and a 3 tier Kuregg esspresso machine.

All you need is a few switches and a couple knobs. But everyone thinks they need a car they can do everything in.

Except drive

The cameras are need to compensate for all the blind sports the new styling has created. Though, the ability of zooming the back up camera for the hitch is quite handy when hooking up a trailer.

I giggled like a girl when I realized I could zoom in on my hitch lol

It is nice to just be able to line up the hitch and get it right where you need it instead of backing up. Get out to see how well you did. Get back in and adjust. Get back out and swear because you backed up too much. Get back in pull forward a little. Get back out. Too damn far! Get back in. Inch back. Not enough! Rinse and repeat...

Hitch flag was the way of the future... years ago.

I think a lot of the so called styling is there for crash/rollover protection.

I still hate the high belt lines and thick pillars almost as much as the dorky fake cowl induction hoods that hurt visability even more.

The ones I found weren’t tall enough. I could have been shopping in the wrong place. Anyway, I got one of the telescoping sets and couldn’t see the one on the ball and after getting so close, couldn’t see the one on the hitch.

Could be. The belt line, I haven’t had a problem with. The thick B and C pillars and the tiny rear window, are a different story. If the rear window was taller and the bed sides and tailgate were shorter, it might not be as bad.

Id be happy if they didnt insist on putting massive center consoles in everything. Whats wrong with open floor?

I don't think that.....I don't even have a radio in my driver at the moment .... the bronco and the ranger are what I drive outside of work. No AC....sort of heat.... windows are past end of service life...but muddle by...

I mean ..the 150 is mine ... But it's not. I just pay for it ..

I like the 250 shop truck.... For a 22 it's pretty plain....true work truck...nice....very good for it's particular price point.



As to wiring...if you weigh the system in a typical sport 150...it's less then a loaded 91 explorer....the modules are on bus lines.

The adaptations you can do with these are awesome and require much less on actual resources compared to a 90s luxury car.


Canbus...it's the debilz...but once you learn it...it's handy....or potentially so.

Personally if I could get a brand new crew cab shorbed '97 F-350 with a' zilla I would be all over it.

All the digical stuff does nothing for me. Cruise, a/c power windows/locks and I am good.

If I want to roll a window down there is no need to involve a computer.
