In my truck I have the following Booster cables Recovery strap Shackle receiver for hitch, 2 extra shackles Air compressor First aid kit.

Ok.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

TFL often has some interesting videos. I always seem to enjoy watching them take crossovers to their off road test course.

Great pictures.

Even with the 5" lift, they say 33x12.5. I do wish they would not make the wheel wells so restrictive.

Yup, even just a 2.5" lift and some bigger tires make the truck look so much better. http://youtu.be/kE5t1ZjyVwo

When I was driving the '14 GMC, I felt like the king of the road. I was all like, "look at me, I'm driving a big new fancy truck, I'm the best." Then an F-150 pulled up, and I noticed how much higher it was....

I test drove a Ram and a Sierra. Both were very good. The new Sierra was quieter, but both trucks rode well. I am curious to see if the latest generation of Ram trucks will resist rust any better than their predecessors.

For riding to work?

Truck is coming along nicely.

When I went to test drive a 2014 Sierra, I communicated that to the salesman. He responded with "What's a Raptor?" And once I explained, he said something about "...for the masses."

Even just the Rough Country leveling kit, and some 33" AT or MT tires makes the truck look pretty great. I could say the same about almost every truck. 2-4" lift, and 1-2" taller than stock tires makes any pickup look better IMO. I also dislike 20" wheels. I'd think you would be able to...

Seriously though. If GM simply offered a blacked out truck with a factory lift, they would sell a good handful of them. Much like this one I saw at a local dealer with a ProComp lift.

I really like it.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your observations.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Sierra "All Terrain" and Silverado Z71 do not include all terrain tires. Not unless you call the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A an all terrain tire.

This prompted me to do a little research. It looks like GM offered a composite Pro-Tec box sometime around 2001. It was 50LB lighter, rust proof, and much more resistant to impact dents. Seems like a great idea right? But, it died pretty quickly. Why? I suspect they did not advertise it well...

Of course they used rolled formed steel. What else would they use? A composite material I suppose. Does any other full size truck use anything other than steel? What is their next commercial going to be? Look at this awesome fighter jet. It has rubber tires. Our engineers demanded we use...

I think that approach falls apart when you throw the Colorado / Canyon "crew cab" into the mix. Oh, and what Toyota calls an "access cab" on the Tacoma is an "extended cab" on the Colorado / Canyon.
