Wow, that dash and Tesla like center screen is insane.
And FINALLY hill descent controls, hate mine locking automatically and throwing the revs through the roof, and a true locker in the rear axle. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/01/15/...-hybrid-45834/ has even more great pictures by can't seem to get them to load to save. |

The new Ranger is two feet shorter than an F-150 SuperCab.

And just b/c I wanted to provide some numbers to what I was getting at, the new Ranger wheel base is nearly 2 feet longer than the Little Rangers that I grew up with.

The new "small" pickups are just monsters. Occasionally I'll see a late 70's early 80's Japanese truck on the road, and they are fantastically small. But my favorite is when they come with an 8 ft bed!

While I'm at it, the Toyota Tundra long bed is one of the most ungainly vehicles I have ever seen. While the other manufacturers just add the extra length behind the wheels, Toyota does it in the wheelbase! |

In celebration of the new Ram, Dodge released a 21 page pdf that details the trucks 101 year history:

Caught my first glimpse of the Chevy Colorado Z71 in our office parking lot and then two minutes later saw another black one on the street. What you fellas got on the Z71 package? Same as in the past, with all the neat off-road accessories?
As a side, I saw smoking hot blonde driving a maroon Dodge Laramie quad cab on the way back from lunch. She looks better behind-the-wheel than you do, JH, no offense. |

Better for off-road drifting, I guess...

Slightly off topic, but is this a sleeper cab or a crew cab?

No offense taken as my truck isn't maroon. There is a maroonish color available now, but mine isn't it. My truck is Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearlcoat. It was a $700 option damnit. You seem to have a penchant for ugly cars, so this makes sense. The Colorado is a much better truck in all honestly and it's less expensive. That is until the Ranger comes out. Quote:

Yes, but Toyota put true PreRunner stuff in theirs, limited slip and 4wd ride height, even Nissan made a supercharged version of their Frontier as PreRunner. Chevy literally put badges and stickers on their truck and said DONE.

Yeah, upon further review, I think you're right. The 2WD Chevys don't sit like 4x4, do they? Chevys sit low too and have tons of rake.
