New York was looking rough in the 1970s but it looked awesome by 2000. Looks like crap a...

re: Tell me about the Chevy Custom Trail Boss

I really like those. Very good trucks, and the best bang for the buck in its class in terms of costs of ownership per 10,000 miles of expected lifespan.
The Toyota Tundra is the best alternative if the Chevy dealers aren’t playing ball.

It might work.
