FWW my daughter just looked over my shoulder and absolutely loves / wants the truck ( starts driving with dad on her b'day in Dec ! ). We got her a "ute" as a first vehicle, but at least its a v8 manual
5k is a joke, would be more like $20K over here, even in that condition. You would be lucky to get a rolling frame for that here, let alone a complete truck !!
Hope to post some build thread pics over Christmas, and you will get to see the garbage we get to play with ...
BTW congrats on the election result. Maybe now when Trump cancels the EV mandate and allows real trucks to be built again they will stop the "cash for clunkers" programs too. You can always send a container of trucks and parts over our way ...
