On the bright side, you will now have a beautiful white truck.?. And, you won't have to crawl under the dash to adjust to adjust your heat/ac!

Wow Dave! Glad your ok first off, and I think I see alternative moves being made here. So getting into a 2023 and then the Raptor comes out and you’re like, hmmm this will have awesome trade in value. Let’s make a deal! ?
Thanks Rick! lol well the thought did cross my mind. ? Honestly I'll see how this one works out and if it's trouble free I might just add a longer warranty to it and keep it. I'm still on 2 dealers lists for the Raptor so it's a good back up plan.?

Dang, Dave glad you are ok. Hard to believe a neighborhood crash could kill your truck. Good that you found a replacement so quickly.

"Bigger money pit" would be a good new name.

Glad you are back with us again.
Thanks Kent! And thanks for being there and listening through all this. I always said this place was very special and you offering me a vehicle of yours if we were closer was a very kind gesture that is MUCH appreciated! :like:

Yeah I guess that's one way of getting out of fixing the HVAC box.lol I guess a squeaking dash is the least of my problems now. ?

Dave... Man, I'm so sorry to hear and see the damage. Glad you made it out.

This is EXACTLY why I have a Dash Cam. Between the crazy street racing kids and the retirees that should have handed over the keys a decade ago, AZ has some dangerous driving going on.

I might be selling mine soon so if you want to take a look at it, be my guest.

Edit to Add - Ah! I see you have a new one on the way. Congrats!

Thanks Greg! I was mad the dash cam crapped out so quickly (it was $400) and was just going to wait to replace it after our trip. Oh well I'm glad I knew someone who escalated the police report . Thanks for the offer but I have one on hold already.

Glad to learn the truck was considered totaled, that would have been my wish also.



White Dave??? Really??? You feeling OK???
I love white because it's easier to keep clean. But being a detail nut once you're done it just doesn't have that "pop" like the darker colors do. There's not a lot of choices out there so I really can't be to picky. I did find a Cactus Gray Tremor in Idaho Falls but the dealer wanted $1,200 for a paint protection that they didn't even apply yet. It just arrived and was still in all the plastic. After I told him no he text me back and said if it didn't sell over the weekend he'd consider selling it without out on Monday. :mad: I'd rather drive the extra miles up to WA and deal with someone honest!
