    Yes, and actually it reduces a lot of tongue weight when I load the first sled in with the engine over the other side of the axle. It's actually a lot more tongue heavy when it's empty- like in that picture.

    It's not bad, and it's because it's ECU controlled. The brake controller has the built in trailer sway control so it needs to communicate with the truck. The dash computer would otherwise be cluttered with lots of features I don't even have, this way they don't show up on the dash until the module is installed and activated. I bought aftermarket mirrors and they had puddle lights (my factory mirrors did not), they were just plug and play and the puddle lights worked fine.
    The Ford plastic liner actually isn't bad, either that or mines just scuffed up enpugh so it's not slippery. It's not nearly as bad as other plastic liners I've had, or the Tacoma plastic bed.

    mmmmmbye.

    Dunno. Every plastic bed or liner I've had experience with has been super slippery, so that whatever you're carrying ends up at the front of the bed and you have to climb in to get it. The dealer didn't have any models with bedliners on the lot, so I couldn't check one in person.

    I notice it on the calls where you don't know the person. Never on personal calls and not very much on calls where I have a relationship with a customer but mostly just the people that I have never dealt with before
    Lol. No kidding. That's why that axle is so far back

    I talk to a lot of people from New York & New Jersey, and get a lot of males calling me Babe. Not crazy about it.
    But they're not being creepy/weird about it, they just call everybody Babe. It's an odd verbal tic.

    Wicked odd. Yessah.

    Was on my way home on rt 16 just passed the Sherborn Police Station and it was Audi - cop - me and outta nowhere a deer jumped in front of the Audi. Didn't look like much damage to the Audi, but the deer was toast. Looked like a somewhat young doe

    Wow. For some reason I thought the story was going to be Audi hit deer, Cop hits Audi and you hit Cop. Glad it didn't happen that way

    The cop actually wasn't tailgating the Audi and it was a cop, so I wasn't on his ass. But we all had a hard stop

    White and beige had red interiors depending on trim and year. My Mom had a beige EX with the red interior. Mine had a car phone at one point but was removed prior to me getting it.

    I've gained some weight since college but ouch!

    That's where I was with the STi. Everything was perfect on it but I knew it would have needs in the not too distant future and I just didn't want to fix it. Once I lost the urge to fix problems I knew it was over.

    Side note I got 6-7 stitches in my left middle finger yesterday and 4-5 in my pointer. Why does elevating it make it hurt 10x worse. Everything I've read says that should help. Ugh.
