The durmaxs every diesel head has a hard on over sit shorter than the new trucks and tow about the same. They can do it, they choose not to. I like lowered trucks... much easier to chill on the tailgate and dive into a 30 rack when they're down low to the ground. Another aesthetic comment... ENORMOUS wheel/tire arch gaps. I can see it on a Raptor, TRX, TRD, ZR2 off road model but you can stack bowling balls in the huge gap of most these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Camaro has the visibility of a kid napper van. Actually I don’t find it as bad as people say. And after hearing people talk up the mustang and hellcats I was really disappointed in them when I saw them at the auto show. Visibility and the interiors are slightly less shitty than the Camaro. I thought they would be a lot better they way people talked about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve fixed a few Camaros that was one of the first things I noticed blind spots are really bad and you can’t see shit backing up. It started before the last Taurus I think even my 05 mustang my arm is at an awkward angle when I have it out the window not as bad as other cars I’ve been it but still not comfortable.

I rented a stang vert back in 19 while in Rhode Island for my daughter and nephews to ride around in and the visibility was actually very good. the Challenger as old as they are has a useable back seat and a trunk.

What are you guys, 5'2" or something? I have never done that. I hate the heat so the window is always rolled up and the ac is on. And in the winter I dislike frost bite. And when I say trucks are too tall I am not talking about the over all height, I am talking about the height to the floor board. I could a give a fuck less if the roof of the cab is 25 feet in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could a give a fuck less if the roof of the cab is 25 feet in the air I know - I get it and I hate the heat too (wife hates riding with me because I have the A/C on if the temps are 70+). I don't typically drive with my windows down either, but occasionally will do it in the spring / fall when it's a nice cool 60'ish degree day and just buzzing around town. Just found it kind of funny, picturing someone trying to lay their arm on the door/window and it being up near their head Edited August 30, 2023 by Bontz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
