Exactly the same reason for me. We got a dog that takes up the back seat, and a wire crate and all of our stuff to go with it.
Also with running disc golf stuff, it super easy to throw a bunch of baskets in the bed with out having to play tetris.
Just hit 13,000 miles. Only rattle I've gotten is once or twice when the sun visor gets "sat" weird. Other than that, no other noises. Not that I would know with the amount of wind noise! :LOL:
No, literally..... Is anyone constantly electrically shocked by their truck? I swear every time I get out and touch the door I get a nice blue static bolt into my hand. Different shoes, coat, etc... doesnt seem to matter. Ive never been literally shocked so much since I tried on those water...
Stock 8 speed Rubi at around 12,000 miles. I drive 90% highway at 80mph for work each day and im at around 15mpg. But anything under 60mph I get closer to 20mpg. I also grew up driving near Chicago so I drive quite aggressively.
