Re: Cool or Not: A Pro Touring
Im not a big fan of stripes, but they do look good on this pickup. The dash and door panels are one of the biggest things I like about these pickups, so what they did to them is a no go for me.

I resemble that remark. I drive mine everyday with only an inside rear view mirror and the ability to turn my head from side to side. Not much interested in where I've been but where I'm going. Don't even own a trailer so can't be a queen, maybe a street peon?. Sorry, couldn't resist a little good natured ribbing.

As for the truck in question, I think it's cool.

Re: Cool or Not: A Pro Touring
Sweet truck but in my opinion the stripe is to wide going down the side it should not have came past the body line and I really like what they did with dash almost look like a mix with a vette

Re: Cool or Not: A Pro Touring
Pro street supposedly means handling. A truck gives up 1000LB at the gate. Fail.
My pickups are also much less comfortable to ride in than my Camaro. Fail.
0 for 2. Not

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
