I haven't had anything affected as far as I can tell. I've had it for around a month or so, and I'm fine going through car washes, and the backup camera doesn't have anything really blocked visually. I do have to be more mindful when backing up just because it adds a little more length. I also...

After a few times nearly getting rear ended on I-35 in the DFW area, I bought one of these "steps".

As someone who's job is dealing with vehicles that go to auction, I'll never buy a modern turbo gasoline engine. Almost every vehicle that I come across that uses a turbo has some kind of issues with it. Almost all the natural aspirated ones are perfectly fine. If all you want is a slightly...

I think it just means through the app right? If you have the remote vehicle start through your key fob, it still works as normal. It's still bs either way.

I still think the electric/hybrid cars are a bad buy. You never really make up the extra cost for the vehicle in gas. Let's say you get a Wrangler 4xe Rubicon. The cheapest you can get is $59,090. A base gas 4 door Rubicon (manual transmission even) is going to run you $46,495. That's a...

I bought a Votex - The Original 6 3/4 Inch Antenna, and it's been just as good for me as the stock one reception-wise. I live in the DFW metroplex though, so take that into consideration. It has seemed as good as the stock one when I've been driving to visit family hours away though.

I think it's because they cover them in their logos. I hate being a walking (or rolling) advertisement. All of my shirts and hats are completely blank. I have always told the dealerships to either take off their ugly tags or knock the price down $500 more dollars if they want me to advertise for...

My wife's car has ACC, my Gladiator doesn't. She hates it, and I like it lol. I'm not sure I'd pay extra for it, but I do enjoy it on long trips. Especially when you get behind an elephant race between 2 18-wheelers. I think anything past the closest distance it lets you select is too far...

I had Line-X installed. I've personally never heard of adding a liner decreasing the value of a truck. Maybe if it was poorly installed by a previous owner or something, but I can't really see that if it's professionally installed. I personally really like liners on all my trucks. Especially if...

I'm surprised it's even around $6 a share honestly. I don't understand how satellite radio can compete with podcasts, audiobooks, and on-demand music streaming on a cellphone that everyone already owns in their pocket.

Without a doubt Gobi. They didn't have it my model year, and I ended up with my Sting Gray, but if they had the one I ended up with right next to an identically equipped Gobi, I'm not sure I could pick which one I wanted.

I used to have a subscription to them years and years ago when I spent all day in a truck out in the oilfield, and it was worth it to have something to listen to besides country or tejano. But yeah, when I finally cancelled it, it took forever. Of course you can easily sign up online, but...

People are getting these more for protection from a rear end than they are to use as an actual step right?

The only thing that I'm really frustrated about personally is the fact that occasionally I like to detox from smartphones, and I have couple of cheap dumbphones that are all 3G.

I'd 100% get Gobi on a Mojave trim if that helps. Goes well with the desert theme lol.

It's reeeeeally close between Gobi and Sting Gray for me. It would be hard for me to pick, but since I got a 2021, it was a Sting Gray. I think I do prefer it, but it's pretty close, and if I were to get another Gladiator for a higher trim level or for whatever theoretical reason, I'd probably...

Make sure they balance!!! I got a Toyota Tacoma years ago, and Toyota has the first couple of years of free oil and tire rotations. I took it in the first time, and got it back. I drove it home, and eventually took it on the interstate. Once I hit over 50 MPH it would start shuddering lightly...

Don't worry everyone. In situations like this he'll be back on the road again in no time! OP, I hope you're back on the road again soon too.

It took me forever to get this in. It kept going out of production and back again, but I was finally able to get it. Just a warning that these things are just as crappy as when we were kids. They only really work on the concrete, and even then they struggle with any incline.

Late to the party, but I also agree with the base model Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra work truck trim with the 4.3 and 2 wheel drive (unless you live somewhere icy). Sub-$30k, will last a long time, I'm not sure about a beat up work truck holding its value, but you'll have no problem eventually...
