PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

So, it's intended for business/fleet work?

 

Out doing Uber Eats and found this beauty in a shopping center parking lot!

How much are they asking for the suburban?

 

Not for sale yet. Blue Book is a little under $16K...

Pictures from February 2016...

 

Its big and comfortable for sure.

Think about the size though. That would be a big change from the RC. To me, where I'm at, its a little too big. Im parking in garages, navigating city traffic

Even though my truck is the longer chassis its still much more maneuverable than any full size

 

That looks like the shadiest government vehicle ever dude.

 

Yesterday, I detailed a brand new base model Chevy Colorado with the 2.5L 4, automatic tranny, and 4.10 rear. This was a fleet vehicle and part of my job entails picking up vehicles from the quarry where we store them, so I actually got to drive it instead of just moving it from the parking lot to the detail shop.

I must say that I was not impressed with a couple of things. For starters, the truck had a tilt steering column but no telescope function, and it was also hard to find a comfortable position with the 4-way power seat (yes, this base model Colorado with no keyless entry had a power seat). The brand new engine (with like 84 miles) was nowhere near as quiet as the 2.7L in my Taco (and my Taco has over 95,000 miles as of this posting).

The truck does look good in my opinion, and the overall build quality is decent. The A/C also worked really good.

However, if the seating position is as awful in other Colorados as it is in this one, I would definitely never buy one.

 

Was the seating too low? Too high?

 

With the lack of a telescoping wheel, it felt too far back.

 

Is "telescoping" up down, or front back?

 

Tilt is up/down

Telescoping is closer/away

 

How can it not have that?!?!?!

 

Because it's a $25,000 no frills Colorado...

 

Doesn't your Tacoma have a telescoping wheel?

 

Yes, but it's also a Toyota...

GM has been behind the times with the telescoping wheel since 2007...

 

Really? That's bad for them brah. Telescoping wheel is a basic feature in every car.

One thing guaranteed to make me angry is saying that I did something I did not do in order to make yourself look better and/or get me in trouble...


The earliest example of this that I can remember took place in 4th grade; It was towards the end of day and the teacher had split us into groups for some sort of science project if I remember correctly. An argument took place between me and another classmate.

I do not remember what this argument was about as it was at least 20 years ago.

A girl in my group told the teacher I had hit her, which was not true. I told the teacher I didn't hit anybody, but two or three other classmates chimed in and gave false statements to the teacher that I had hit this girl. The teacher believed them...

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the day was draw pictures of trucks while I waited for my bus to be called. My teacher made me put my head down on the desk and didn't let me draw while I waited for my bus as punishment for something I didn't even do.

I was not suspended or anything, and I'd forgotten about this incident (which happened in 1998 or 1999) until recently.

 

On all the fullsize chevys if you look closely at the steering column, it looks like it points toward the center of the vehicle. Like the column isnt parallel with the body/frame, its angled to the right.

Most people wouldnt notice but it bugs me..

 

Yea about an inch an a half telescoping. It’s worthless
