    I hate slammed pick ups...it's stupid. Whats a truck for? To get you to places a car can't. Unless of coarse it's a older chevy or somethin! With a 454!

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i thought a truck was also for hauling and towing....both a dropped or slammed truck can do

    If done right slammed trucks are badazz imo! I had a friend that had a f150 2wd with a lincoln navigator front end conversion and cat eye tail lights with a shaved roll pan in the rear custom ex and interior on 22s bagged that could lay frame. He would drag it and hit switches at stop lights. OP, you need to ride in a bagged truck. They're pretty fun I swear! lol

    To each his own....I guess haha

    If you feel the need to hate on trucks that are 'just a style' and useless for hauling, you can start with monstrosities like this one ... :cool:

    I understand the thought that a truck should be a utility vehicle, but I've seen some pretty impressive hotrodded and slammed trucks. I had a neighbor in Oregon (who was a painter for Toyota when they came off the boat) but his hobby was rebuilding 60s and 70s Chevy pickups. He turned out a few really nice ones while I was there.

    Not enough.
    I love my slammed mini, not a Taco but ohwell, Bagged all around and body dropped....and NO, I dont park it under a super lifted full size truck;). I used to haul stuff with it but I sealed up the bed and tailgate a couple months ago.

    You cant put someones personal vehicle/style preference to question.
