Check this truck out-
Nice truck and all, but they are asking $58,900 for it! For $58k I'll take a brand new one with a diesel in it, lmao!

Seriously? I'd give a try of whatever they're smoking at least twice. How do they think anyone could insure it?

You and I laugh, but the sad part is, there will be someone that will probably pay close to that

You must be a millennial? You guys don't like anything cool anymore! It has to be plain,stripped down and murdered out. Back in the 70's,80's and early 90's man,we had it best. It could be bright,shiny,flashy,multi colored,neon and glowing in the dark.If it had flames,it was the envy of the neighborhood.

I hate flames with a passion, but I do love those 70s-90s trucks. Billet grilles, cab visors, roll bars with KC off road lights. I grew up adoring the Bigfoot monster truck.

Totally agree.
Black everything is boring. I like the flashy aluminum and bright colors too and I'll be damned if I give up the 15x10 with 3.5" backspacing aluminum wheels.
I also like gradient (white/orange/red) flames but my wife nixed that idea on the last project

Nice clean truck and pretty easy to return to 100% stock but I can't see anyone spending over 25k for it

I even think that is high, but I don't doubt someone with more money than sense would pay that for it. I was thinking $15k-18k.

Not a fan of the suspension and tires, but it is otherwise a nice truck. Never seen one with a sun roof before. I would have replaced the blown bulb in the cargo light for that asking price, but they aren't selling a truck. They are selling a feeling.

I hope it doesn't end up upside down in a ditch.
