Hey Thorton, By the looks of it, you need a single or double cab to show the neighbors what a real truck is!

I've been telling him that for a long time... dude wont listen.
I like to go to the local MRF (material recovery facility) and get compost for my garden. The tipper carries out almost it's own weight in goods while those f*rds and ch*bies do well to haul over 1500 lbs.... f'n pussy trucks.

Empi, no hard feelings if I have to sneak up and clock you in the back of the head with a tire iron, and borrow your car for a while are there?
