Let's talk about trucks

Chill. Everybody's experience is different. I red x'd it because it isn't always true, nothing on "you".
On the half metric/half saw thought my 99 Dakota was that way, my 01 Durango is that way, I hate it
GM can be blamed for that, as when the smaller, more square Monte Carlo, grand prix, gutlass, etc came out in the late 70s, that was the first that I saw of that mix match.
Ah, the metric chassis cars. I was there at a GM dealer. It was a mad scramble at the tool trucks for new tools. They loved it. The techs not so much.
