Yes, I do anticipate John Q Public to "ask". As you know the pick-up truck is the State vehicle of Texas. I think both our city cowboys and our country cowboys will ask about it. They'll have different questions, like "think I can haul hay in it?, or "think I can haul the boy's football...

Com'on, man...you bitch-slapped those of us that found your Poll more than confusing, with your "But english is my primary language" statement, as if it was our lack of "english" that found it confusing. Are you sure you're a wee bit wiser? How about now? b.

Are you sure? Your S-DF example/definition, and the poll choices, don't match up very well. And as you note, you didn't define the acronym first. They seem to not be written by a not primary-English language speaking/writing person. A better defined term and a binary choice would have worked...

So you're suggesting that if their "engineering decision" is bypassed, the bypass would result in some serious electrical problem? By problem, I don't mean an improperly installed tap without fuse, I mean we would release some type of engineered-in Slate Trojan horse that when released would...

It seems to be more than meets the eye, for sure. :-) On a sad note, the voice of Optimus Prime dies yesterday. :-( b

I'm confused. How would running power to a radio be any worse (i.e., bypassing an engineering solution) that running power to a second 12V to recharge it? Or do you mean setting up the second 12V for a normal Battery Tender re-charge?

Ok, a standard bucket would be farther back from the glass by a couple of inches. But both have no buffer above the top level of the bed walls. Is there a real world difference such that one gets broken glass and the other doesn't...from tumbling firewood above the bed level and at glass level? B

Is it any closer to a potential load than any other trucks rear window?

My plan ^^^^. Done in on ICE cars when needed. Will do same on my Slate. B.

So she won: Fathom is better. I don't think you needed to "argue". A "why?" is it better, then a refute of the claim if it is false would have worked. That would have put some doubt in her mind about the Fathom: what is heard can't be un-heard. b.

Almost ^^^^, FIFY. The only high/low quality that will make/break their reputation is their Truck/SUVs. It is a $20 toy for $20dollars. Slate didn't make it. They hired a company to create one for them to sell to their fans for a very low price. I for one am happy about that. I wouldn't...

I think you're making too much out of the mission of this $20 toy. It was to bring a little joy to us for $20. It is not to convince potential customers that they are building a high-quality truck. b.

Maybe the Slate SUV bench will fit. b.

Dude... It's a $20 effing toy! b.
