How did they lose the weight between '06 and '07?

As Gzes would say

"because the Trucks aren't built like they were in the 90s"

All '07s up are heavier than equally equipped '00-06s. 3-500 lbs heavier. It is most telling driving across washboard roads. Much less body flex in the newer ones.

Yep. After a bit more research I found the same numbers you just quoted. I ended up buying a 2007 PPV, and I love it!

There's a guy on Ebay selling new PPVs for about $29K with credentials. Not sure if my CO's creds would fly, but I'm content with what I have, especially for the money. Jet black, almost new RS-As, and runs like a ***** ape. Not a single shake or rattle.

Simple. They remove the quality.

So we end up with a jerky trans cracked dash peeling door handles etc.


LoL :)

Hey now! They recalled those door handles lmao damn things cut my hands but they seem to have fixed that thankfully.

They got rid of metal bumpers?

basically just opinion on quality. The trucks themselves are spaced out more. frame isn't as solid but it's built more efficiently
