boycott them. If they stop putting all of this #### on vehicles that nobody wants and I'll consider it. I do like the idea of the small Powerstroke, though.

If I sit in the front seat and adjust the seat for someone to be able to sit behind me, my knees are in the dash. My truck feels like a stretch limo next to it.

It rode like a wagon, and got worse gas mileage than full size truck. When I was alone in it, it felt crowded, and it was a crew cab.
I don't understand the allure of the things. And all that talk about resale is crap. I paid like $30K for it, tried to sell it for a while and got no bites, and ended up trading it a year later and got like $23K for it. It seems the the most drivers of those things are UDP Wando High school kids and air force guys that paint all the emblems and wheels black.

My kids have to walk and carry all their stuff.
I've thought seriously about getting a mule though. It can function as a golf cart, but you can also take it deep in the woods and toss a deer in the back. Would be more useful than a 4-wheeler.

are having the room to build a corral with a stall, and the ongoing vet bills.

Although a golf cart would probably do it. They'll go a lot of places that would surprise you.

Its shuts off the engine when you come to a complete stop

Push the gas pedal and it cranks back up again.
Supposed to save gas. Not sure about starters though. It seems like it'd be dangerous to me; its certainly annoying.

which is why there's a button to disable it (and, as I've learned, it's disabled by default when the transmission is in sport mode)

I saw the new Denali yesterday with the 12 way tailgate. Honest to goodness looks like a 125% scale Honda Ridgeline.

No need for it. I just have a small #### and a lifted 4x4 diesel helps my self esteem.

1999 with 225,000 miles. Looks a little rough but still hauls my crap around. Nothing but oil changes. Replaced the spark plug wires a few years ago, brakes replaced around the same time and had the front end realigned.
Love having an old truck to kick around in on the weekends.
