    Body side moulding. But in this case. Blind spot monitoring system.

    And my only regret was not getting the v6 4x4. I got the 2.7 4x2 becuase it was on the lot and needed bigger "trunk" space. my civic has no trunk space becuase of my sound system. I couldn't bring home a 40 inch tv if I wanted to. Not that I would ever buy a 40" TV but just saying.

    Kinda like when you're buying your first crochrocket. You think 600 cc is enough but after you get used to it. You want that 1000cc.

    But the 1000cc would've probably helped kill you if you.didn't get the 600cc to learn on first

    All that mini trucks mean is that fat chicks have to ride in the bed instead of the cab.

    i honestly thought I was going to be driving my truck like a normal person, soft acceleration . That's why I didnt care about the the 4cyl. But I find myself gassing it hard hitting 4-5 k rpms all the time.

    I'm disappointed that when I push on the accelerator pedal, the engine gets louder. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Edit: This is mostly noticed while accelerating.

    Im talking about your gas tank skid plate, its plastic. That's what the conversation was about few pages back when you said yours was metal. Even Jeff Lange said the gas tank skid plate is plastic ever since 2005.

    Oct 10 you stated a whole slew of problems about the 3rd gen bagging on it, now you have one? Not sure why you have one when you inadvertently stated you really didn't like it.
    Nice truck BTW!

    I know your pain. I bought a 2013 f150 fx4 which is fords off-road package. My truck came with Goodyear SRA's which are a all season highway tire. Nothing is worse than buying an "off-road" package and having rubber that won't make it 5 minutes into a trail
