/sarcasm

Imagine communism run with German efficiency.

NAWS all the things?

It needs port injection. You shouldn't NAWS through a supachaga, I assume.

Oh wait, I just noticed the giant NAWS tanks behind the engine(s)

Its diesel, so I'd guess they're propane.

Water?

You can put NAWS on anything.

I looked at Tacomas and Chevy pickups to see how much a stripper would cost. Tacos can be just under $30k, while some white Silverados are at a local dealership for $24k. If I build a Silverado mostly stripped out but with a couple of options (power locks and windows), it's like $32k. This looks pretty cool, but they're all overpriced.

New trucks are stupid expensive. I don't know how people buy them other than with 108 month loans.

32K for steel wheels!?!?!?! HOLY SHIT!!!

And probably a 4 cylinder

I feel like those all go to fleets.

Yup

I actually avoided the "upgraded" wheels because they looked worse

[Eye of the Tiger]

Yup

No no no. It's a "2.7 liter turbo engine"

[CaminoRacer]

No no no. It's a "2.7 liter turbo engine"

I'd love to have a 2.7 liter turbo V8.

This looks like a good truck despite being at a used car dealer: https://cars.ksl.com/listing/6036523?ad_cid=2

My boss has one just like it, although I think his bed is longer

I feel like trucks, especially stripper fleet grade trucks, have crazy incentives on the hood

They do. 9-10 grand off is not unheard of.

[12,000 RPM]

There is probably another 9-10 grand of sweet profit

Holy crap! An A200 AMG Line Edition 1 (used car) with a 6-speed manual. Good luck selling that one!!! A manual looks so out of place in that futuristic interior!

Yeah I could probably negotiate a Chevy down quite a bit. Not sure about a Tacoma.

IME, you try to talk discounts about Toyota trucks, they refer you to the used prices.

That is the kind of truck I like, but they are still too damn expensive.

I'd love a NA 2.7 V8. Fuck it.

Looks fine to me.

[Xer0]

Looks fine to me.

Looks pretty great actually.

[FoMoJo]

Looks fine to me.

The gear shift looks fine, but I'm not a fan of the dash.  Needs some dials.

[cawimmer430]

Looks fine to me.

Problem is that it does mess up  the  interior  because  where  the  manual  transmission  is  that's  where  the  touchpad  is  located on  the  A/T  models. That position is ideal for the touchpad from an ergonomic POV. As  a  result of the M/T being there, the touchpad has  been  pushed  back  to  a  rather  unergonomic  position.

Here's how it looks on the A/T models. Perfect place in terms of ergonomics.

Ford no longer offers manual transmission F150. No millennial anti-theft devices! Ever again!

Ford hasn't offered an MT in the F150 in at least 15 years.
