Nothing more pathetic than a Crown Vic ''Police Interceptor''. Like it's got some Mad Max clutched blower under the hood. 4.6 litres of nothing. They sounded great and went nowhere, same power rating as the stock Marquis. I saw an article about how a 3.5 Honda minivan would out drag it, and...

Thanks guys, the truck was dirty and I wanted to run it through the wash, but I wasn't sure. It ended up raining so I haven't been through yet. Yes, it is not completely water proof, but I wasn't expecting that. I certainly wouldn't leave a laptop or somethin just laying in there. It does...

I just got a Tyger brand soft cover for my 18 short bed and put it on. Not much experience with it yet, only a few days and no rain. I also don't expect it to be water tight like a duck's ass. Anywhoo, I'll take any feedback on this item and specifically, can I just go through a typical...

Driving home Fri, same conditions, no ragpicker,, no alarm.

Driving home from work today, urban 2 lane, 45mph, medium traffic, dry weather, daylight, no "pedestrians". Beep goes off with a visual signal to brake on the display between the tach and speedo, nothing in front of me to brake for. I look off to the side and there is a hobo sitting in a...

You little badass!

Had my 18 up to 90 today and no howling in light winds. Overall, this 18 rides smoother, quieter than my 15 and they were/are bone stock. If anything, the car type tires on my 15 should have been more quiet than the more aggressive ones on my 18.

Doing what I can.

My 15 had a stall horn that would go off at interstate speed in a strong cross wind. I kept stabbing the throttle and pushing the yoke forward and it wouldn't help.

Yes, they want us all to be domesticated turkeys. They just have to wait until all of the wild turkeys like us die off and then it's simply a matter of zuckerberg, putin and those types (think Lindsey graham, jerry brown, robert mueller) hurding us around. With help from useful idiots like cnn...

So here is where it gets really Orwellian. The big thing all these tech dickheads are pushing now is "platooning" of trucks. They want a group of big rigs going down the road to hook up electronically and travel at the same speed and at a fixed distance. I mean you're going to have to find...

On the Freightliner I drive at work, you have to turn the traction control "off" or you wil get stuck in the sand every time you go in the pit. Even when it is "off", it isn't really off, it is more like "on less" as it will cut power when it detects wheel spin which just screws you so bad you...

Thanks! 18 Pre-Runner by WiskyT posted Apr 12, 2018 at 10:32 PM

I just got an 18 prerunner and t has all of this stuff on it. It all can be turned off, but I don't know if it defaults to on at each startup. The radar cruise control is the biggest bunch of crap I can think of. I'm going 70 and it will slow me down to the 55mph mouth breather I front of me...
