Trucks went from brick shaped to round because of this beauty queen (I love old square cars and trucks too)

1989 Chevy 1500...

When you need that extra push over the cliff, this Foton has a V9!

Im sixteen and its my first truck. Guy i got it from painted it jet black, and im repainting it the original yellow and white.

Some truck accessories look great but don't necessarily make everyday use any easier. For people who use their trucks regularly, which accessories have actually proved useful for storage, hauling, protection, or convenience? I'm curious which ones are worth considering beyond cosmetic upgrades.

Thinking of switching to 35’s when I get new tires this winter. Currently have 37x13.5 MT. I’m wondering if I’ll regret doing so but I’d like a better quality with Toyo RT’s.

right now im runnin LT275/70R18 Eldorado AT4s theyre were great tire, had some off road fun with em a good few times (mostly just some local throwing mud, nothin major), they worked pretty well for the everyday driving i do and did great in the snow/ice we get in SE MI over the winter.

had them about 4 years and, while they definitely still have life in em, id like to get a grasp on how much to budget for my next set perhaps before winter 2027.

BFG's KO3s, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and Toyo Open Country A/T III were/are kindasorta on the list but they all got a pretty high price tag to go with their brandnames.....

some assorted questions for those who know more than me:

for these names, amonst the other big names, am i buying 'the name' or are thses actually good tires?

with moderate daily driving and some mud/snow throwing occasionally, what are some good recs? these or otherwise

im clearly open to non-namebrand tires, as im rollin Eldorados currently, but i was thinking about maybe going a bit more recognizable.

i like a good grippy sidewall, but im sure that ups the price. i think i got the 4 eldorados, mounted and balanced, for ~950, but id like to stay under 1100

thanks in advance guys and gals!

I want to put a reverse level and wides on my truck but I’m so clueless 😪, under 3k preferably

I bought it a few weeks ago and took it to get checked out, there’s more but this seems pretty bad.

We know that these brothers share a lot of dna while also having significant package differences. But which one looks best to you and why?

If I’m not working, mine is about 3 or 4 times a week.

I want to dispel the myth that most truck owners don’t actually use their truck beds.

Qualifier: no lying

Just to be transparent: I take my trash bags to the dump twice a week and the other two times are related to yard work and maintenance on a house my parents’ have. And when my dad yells about where his tools went and I have to drive to the property, pick them up, and drive them back to their actual house.

Burned a good deal of clutch getting her home 30+ miles but we all have to start somewhere. I couldn't pass up on this one even though I'm not a Dodge guy. Owned by a gentleman who bought the truck new for a weekend gardening business and used in locally in town until he died. Truck has never seen salt and is rust free, only the smallest hairline dash crack by the Vin Number plate. Got it with new tires, all new belts, new water pump and a new radiator for $3,500.

Been searching the marketplace for a while and came across this. 1988 F150 5.0 4x4. Has some serious patina(put a little pappys on there and call it good). Need engine work. How much do y’all think it’s worth?

In financial formulas it can mean “sensitivity to interest rates”. That definition fits here, I think.

Hey guys. Attached a picture of my current truck. It’s a 2018 f150 3.5 L.
It has 35” Toyo Open Country tires w/20” fuel wheels.
4” rough country lift w/crossmembers and Rough County N3 struts

My question is this: My truck rides rough as a tank, and does so poorly in 4wd. Would upgrading to M1 struts or any other option make a noticeable difference in ride, and is my tires hurting my ride quality/4wd performance? I’m on the fence of whether to upgrade to new shocks/struts and maybe look at smaller tires, or getting a new truck all together.
