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!
Yeah, I hear that.

I was just pulling your chain a bit as my Highlander is white. Always looks the cleanest.

Thanks Paul! That darn damper held the back of the truck together so it's going on the next one. lol I just put a deposit on a white Tremor and will hopefully get it in a few weeks.
Glad to hear you’re ok Dave. I think you’re gonna love the new Tremor, and White is a perfect color for the high heat of the desert.

Too bad your dash cam conked out but at least the cops got it right on who was at fault. Could have been dicey with no vid. I run two dash cams on my Ranger, just for this reason in case one breaks. Anyway, glad you’re ok. Looking forward to seeing the new Tremor when you get it on the road.

Thanks Ron! The cop on the scene was really good. When they were trying to lie about it he walked them through the path of antifreeze which clearly showed she was on the wrong side of the road and she circled back in front of her daughters house . Plus hitting me on her passengers side on my passengers side wasn't a clear giveaway! :facepalm:

Based on the looks of your rear wheel, there should have been A real nice scrub mark on the road as well to show area of impact. Physical evidence is hard to hide. Sounds like they got it right.

There was 12' of skid marks where she pushed me up onto the sidewalk. I went back the next day to get more pictures.

Glad you’re ok. Sorry for the loss of your Ranger. But welcome to the Tremor club, you’re going to love it.
Thanks Steve! I got a question for you? Do the front head rest in the Tremor tilt? If not those are coming with me along with the rear ones. ?

Thanks Lee! Me too. lol I'm not thrilled about buying a truck sight unseen but all my talks with this dealer (I've been talking with them for about 2 weeks) have been very good and they've been very honest.

Thanks Richard! I've got a list of stuff already for the new one. Here we go again! :curse:
When I lived in Oregon I had security cameras on my house. This older lady did exactly the same thing right in front of my house. The guy had a lifted 2500 Ram and he drove right over the hood of this lady's Chrysler 300. When police came she tried to say guy was speeding and it was his fault. The police knew I had cams as I caught neighborhood thieves before. So this lady is lying through her teeth as the police knew. When she gets done, he says to her "turn around, see that camera above the garage door. Would you like to stick with your story?"
?? Of course she fussed up. The guy wasn't speeding and she turned right in front of him without looking. I showed the police the footage. Done and sealed.
