I think I am going to call my new truck, Old Smokey. In part because of the color, but also because it's very close to the specifications of the trucks that NYS DEC Forest Rangers use, with extended cabs though I think they may have long beds. Old in the sense, the dashboard doesn't have a lot of big computer screens, and the engine is a simple pushrod engine without auto shutoff or anything fancy. Honestly, though it's a good size for me, reasonably big but also small enough that I can get it into most campsites. You get so absurdly big on a SuperDuty if you want to spend enough money.
