but I just kept coming back to the Trail Boss with the full blackout on the front fascia. I’m kind of disappointed the 22 refresh broke up the black front a bit.

We’re still adding a Gladiator to the family but with the Chevy already I may go for a Wrangler instead.

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever buy less than a 10 speed now. But I did love my 6 speed Tundra when I had it.
