You must not be a blue collar worker, or know much about trucks. It isn't about rattles and fit and finish. It's a TRUCK not a fucking X5. It's meant to get heavy shit, dirty shit, wet shit thrown in the back of it, in the cab, get scratched, get dents, run shit over, go through nasty shit, PLOW shit and wear out the front end.

Trucks are purpose built, and that purpose isn't rolling on 22's with summer tires chief.
