What do you mean by "debadge"? Do you mean removing the dealer logos from the body of the vehicle? A dealer tag anywhere on the vehicle (except maybe removable plates) is a deal breaker for me when buying a car. Plate frames can be tossed right when you get home.

Oh man, what an ugly color! What do you call that? "Bubble gum blue"?
What do you need such a a big truck for anyway, as a pizza driver? Real men don't need pimped up vehicles. Real men drive a practical, elegant, and well engineered car. Like this one:

(That also happens to be my car, but it's just a coincidence, I had no other picture handy for illustrating my point.)

Joe, debadging is removing the lettering from the sides and tailgate, not just the dealer emblem. It gives the vehicle a smoother look. It foes not mean to remove the bowtie as that isn't an emblem persay, but a part of the grille.

Michael, I kinda thought you'd say that...I'll just leave that alone since we never saw eye to eye.

Also, I'm no longer in Pizza Delivery and I wanted something different for the color...and that SURE does stand out

Pimpin' ride, man..... at least he's got the standard cab version where the bed can hold a sheet of uncut plywood with little hangover ...

(and I wouldn't knock Michael's VW WGN either - definitely a well built piece of machinery there...)

Whats the fuel economy like? Probably like a typical American car. I gather the looming oil crisis and global warming are not matter you care to much about? Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but here in Australia (like in America) people like their big cars that drink fuel, yet they just drive themselves around in it with these big utes being a typical example. It is beyond me why people think like that. I would rather something smaller, lighter and uses effiecent design rather then brute force. I guess thats why I like European cars and why I drive a Citroen C4. If you have a need for a ute then thats a different story, such as it part of you job.

What happens is a lot of people say "But I need a big, $30,000 , SUV for that camping trip we do every year."

When in reality, 95% of their driving doesn't involve anything related to camping. The amount of money they save on the car alone (not even including increased gas efficiency) could buy them a few years worth of weekly SUV rentals.

But this is a bit off topic.

I get approx 22 in the city and 25 on the highway. I'm also a stick-shift with a Inline 4. So I would definitely say I'm pretty fuel efficient. When I get my Tonneau cover, I will also add 2 mpg with it. It is fairly heavy, at a 4850 GVWR, but I feel safer in it with all that steel around me.

The color is Pace Blue btw

Also, It really wasn't that expensive. It was approx $15k

I second that. But I think you should make it a little more personal with something like "The Amazing Greco's Pussy Wagon" [thumbsup]

It is a nice looking vehicle though. Hope you get alot of enjoyment out of it. [Wink]

We should all pitch in and get him personalized plates that say "G-FACTOR". Florida allows 7 alphanumerics plus a space or hyphen!
