Now make it a panel van and I'll be interested

Shut up and take my money!!!

I want one. The ONLY thing that would stop me is the rear-wheel drive. We get a lot of snow and rear-wheel and snow are not compatible.

Yes, more of this please!

No idea why it has no stereo though. That feels like a pretty basic feature. Doesnt even need to be built in. Just iso standard head unit bay would do.

You just don’t know how to use a pickup. Besides, what do you think SUVs are for? People+Crap
