I am also now a fan of the side step.

Wow that’s a beautiful truck Mark ,
Looks like it’s in great shape , that’s pretty much the truck that I wanted to buy , except for the 5liter motor , but right now I just can’t afford it ,

Did you notice the price of gas lately?

Nope 🤷‍♂️🤣😆🤣 yeah I know that’s another reason why I’m considering the midsize and the V6
