Benny's Car Wash, in Baton Rouge. Noticed you are in Benton, but I bet they have to have some of the same automated systems up there. Its one of those pull up, drop it in neutral and it pulls you thru the tunnel type washes. Gas station car washes are to short!

I went from an 06 to a 17. Between the taller frame and the taller blocks in the back, they are really to high. But the big 3 have to keep outdoing each other too, so that probably doesn't help.

Some have put the blocks from a 16 on the rear to lower the back, primarily bc they couldn't get their 5th wheels high enough for the hitch without putting blocks under the jacks.

Width is the issue. The track is on one side so that puts your passenger side too close

Little did you know that with this attempted subtle brag, you told everyone you were poor and go to regular car washes.

I didn’t even know you could finance a vehicle for 84 months until I came to this board.

Lol that APR has to be sky high.

Ughhhh $25 to clean inside and out at the local “barber shop and car wash” down the street.

$50 with a wax.

Hey they do a damn good job.

A most unfortunate circumstance indeed.

Reminds me of the time my lifted, blacked-out excursion wouldn’t fit through a similar contraption. I shouldn’t have lambasted the proprietor the way i did, but I’ll be the first to admit my temper tends to flare toward the dastardly side when my head begins to swivel inordinately.

DIY with the wand, use microfiber to dry. 10 minutes, tops.


You aren't washing and drying a smart car by hand in 10 minutes, let alone a3/4 ton truck.

You know what I’ve always loved about the King Ranch Edition?

It’s quite friendly to the ecosystem.

You can’t fit it in one of those bays? Who buys. 80k dollar truck and runs it through one of those shitty car washes?

I feel like you could probably afford to just have it detailed once a month.
