  RIP my truck taxonomy skills.

    I’m sorry, that seems like an implausibly large gap of knowledge for someone who can talk at detail about truck suspension configurations

      Look, I like off-roaders! Right? Desert racing trucks are the coolest thing:

      And that includes solid axle/mixed variants like the rock crawling Pro4 trucks!

      Old land rovers and land cruisers are equally cool, hence they still use them in Africa almost exclusively.

      …But lifted full sized trucks are so boring. They’re literally everywhere in this part of Texas, to the point where they advertise mass conversion shops on billboards. They’re usually macho assholes on the road, and even stock-ish ones tend to be customized and slob into parking spaces or stick out of places.

      I loathe them. I couldnt care less about them. Hence, I know what older RAM 1500s look like, but I don’t really keep up with the style changes for the RAMs/Chevys + GMCs/Toyotas or whatever, other than observing how ridiculously big and tall their front grills have gotten.

      …Hence this one threw me off. The grill is tiny! It makes it look small, when in reality the owner/shop likely ripped it out for that front skid plate (which looks way better).
