It's neat and all but for practicality's sake, I can't imagine having something like that. I tow with my Excursion, drop the kids off at school, park in a parking garage, all things I couldn't do with that. Still though they do look neat.

I would have to carry a milk crate around so my wife could climb into the vehicle.

I was just thinking the same thing but for my husband and kids!!!

That thing is nice but does need much bigger tires. Like the guy said they are bald and need new ones anyways.

V10, 150,000 miles, wants $10,000.

I wish him luck with that.

With a 10" lift it def. needs more tire...like 37s IMO.

It is a little costly too...but hey, as they say there's an **** for every seat.

With the V10...would be interesting to see what rear end gears he has in there...he didn't mention that...

I couldn't imagine towing any substantial weight with 3.73's, 35's and a V10...and then talk about going to 37's!!! wow...I would hope he has 4.88's as a minimum then...

Just look above at scottf4444...he's got a 6.0L PSD with 37's and he has 4.56's!!!

Joe.

If he didn't mention it, I doubt they've been changed which makes the $10,000 price even more ridiculous.
