The :truk: has been out for at most a year right? can't be that many... seems too nice of a vehicle to turo. That thing was beat.

Turo doesn't allow off-road driving, yet still rents off-road trucks. Interesting.

No mention of the magic shocks either. :|

Because it's not noticable IRL. The tach is designed to accommodate, and you really need to look for it to see.

He didn’t seem to like the ride too much and complained about noise from tires ... but he spent 5 whole min frolicking in the bed playing with that bedazzled light bar

This is probably how most :derp: look at it though. Off road version :fuckyeah: Light bar roll bar thing :fuckyeah: Bed side stickers :fuckyeah: But the tires are loud and it's rougher than most other cars :sad: Lesbihonest here. Nobody outside the enthusiast circle knows what the gold shocks are or what they do or cares.

The ZR2 actually rides really nice, very similar to the Bro Forks with the Bilsteins.

Z71 doesn't ride as nice.

Yea, the Z71 could be better. A shock change should take care of that :doe:

No just a bunch of morans. We were supposed to get new trucks starting last year. 1/3 of the fleet was going to be changed out. Justification was reduced maintenance costs, reduced manpower at the repair shop. They had a continuous improvement team made up of salary employees determine this. Probably 400 man hours in meetings and whatnot of high dollar people. And then decided to not do anything and just keep paying ludicrous pricing on 13 year old trucks.
