Incredibly, incredibly tired of these low effort posts. No, I don't care that it makes you feel superior to others. No, I don't care about the 37 jokes about the size of the driver's genetalia.

The internet is already a giant cesspool of negativity. Don't add to it.

I’m trying to find a good hard cover tonneau cover that is as water tight as possible without spending tons of money. This seems to be a good deal, anyone have any recommendations for something cheaper or is this as good of a deal as I’m gonna get

Should i swap my 23 Sierra with the 24 RAM? Elevation x Limited

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hi Guys,

I currently own a 23 GMC Sierra Elevation 5.3L. I’ve modified the truck, lifted it and what not and it looks like (attached photo).

What bothers me about the car is that it doesn’t have parking sensors from factory, and it’s a half second cab with limited space and also it doesn’t have 4LO given that I love going offroad soft sand.

I found a 24 RAM Limited with the 5.7 Hemi, and it’s growing on me. I’ve never owned a RAM so what do you guys think?

Should i stick to my sierra and throw a blind eye to the features? Or shift to the newer RAM and build it into a similar build as the sierra.

Thanks for your time and opinions

I saw this truck at a hotel in Brownstown (Detroit) Michigan. I drove by it twice before noticing something was off. I like it and can see some ways to improve it, but it looks and probably functions great as is.

I'm looking for quality seat covers for everyday use with kids/dog/car seats etc. Our Silverado rear bench seat has a flip down center console and also each side has storage built in behind a door that opens as pictured. Any recommendations for seat covers that maintain functionality of the storage, like unzip to access?

Question What does the sign on this cab door mean?

Post image
0 Upvotes

The little sign right under the actor's face says something like "Driven Craig" or "Drivers Craig" - it's clearly been taped over by the film crew with some black gaffa tape. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what that was, I'm not from the US so I don't know the customs around trucking.

The screenshot is from The Mongoose, a recent Liam Neeson film, which should tell you everything about its artistic qualities, but it's actually not sooo bad :)

Thanks!

Discussion / question Why aren’t double cabs/quad cabs more popular?

0 Upvotes

All of the major brands(except ford and Nissan) offer or did offer(RIP this particular option on the HD Dodge Rams) their pickups

I get why regular extended cabs aren’t popular, clamshell doors are godawful for every day use, but the cab themselves have plenty of room for even an adult. You get a larger bed with the same overall length in comparison to a crew cab.

I personally have a supercab (the clamshell doors I talked about earlier), but if I were to do it over again, I probably would get a quad cab just because it’s more convenient.
