And THIS is the reason I could not buy a REAL pickup truck off the lot.
I had to order one and it just came in, I pick it up tomorrow.
But a 2 door, 4x8' bed is no longer "Standard".
A standard pickup today has 4 doors and a tiny bed, sort of like my 
Jaguar, 4 doors and a trunk, but with the truck you have to pay extra 
for a plastic cover so now you have a butt ugly pickup truck with a 
cheap plastic cover over the cargo space.
But you also get more bells and whistles in the new foo-foo trucks than 
any Cadillac, Lincoln, or Benz.
I am a carpenter by trade, I need a R E A L pickup truck 5 days a week.
But all those woosey asses ruined the pick up truck by wanting crap that 
should be on fancy cars.
Oh I looked at the foo foo trucks but at 50 to 60 thousand dollars for a 
truck, I just could not believe it.
But the chrome trimmed cup holders sure would have looked nice until I 
bought my first coffee (on the way home from the dealer) and it spilled 
on those chrome trim rings.
