Well I like many others around here actually use their trucks for what they were meant for...work. When mainstream America adopted the pickemup as their primary vehicle the coffin lid may as well have been nailed shut on the true truck enthuiasts/users. My trucks see a pretty hard life as they are used to haul and tow some pretty heavy stuff. A large percentage of the miles on them are registered on dirt as well. As I said...the existing 4.3 is basically useless in the hills here.

The people who actually kept the truck market going by using them for work have been sold out. Vinyl mats, seats and manual trannies were the options of choice. Now its cloth, leather, satellite navigation and other stuff that are totally useless...but I guess the multitudes who should have stuck with cars and suv's are probably happy.
