Post up rare, custom, or just plain weird trucks!

B-250? If so, imported?

Yeah, both imported

I used to see the dodges here, visiting from Mexico, but haven't seen one in 10 years. Haven't seen the ford version ever, only in pics.



I think they are both gas hogs, and the people that can afford to drive them long distances, buy late model crew cabs to drive up here, not much inbetween.

That picture was taken either in Wyoming or South Dakota. Someone I know flew to South Carolina and is driving back to Washington with his family for vacation. That's one of his pictures he posted along their trip.

Oh, and this. Seems the "Garden shed on wheels" is popular lately, I've seen a handful driving around in various states of construction. I think the upswing in homeless is not a coincidence.

Got off the river and ran over to the golf course for this

I passed a NP300 on I40 north of Little Rock last week. I knew it was a Nissan but had never seen one before. I didn't notice the plates but I guess it was Mexican. Took me a while to hunt it down as my brain told me the badge I glanced at was NV300 like the vans. Not going to admit how much googling it took to find what it actually is.

Basically a Mexican Frontier but with a kick ass utility bed like an old Toyota pickup or Ford Courier. I really dig the functional step side pocket too. Apparently they're available as a cab & chassis too. I'm far from a Nissan fan, but this had me hoping for a little utility focused farm truck in the future, alas, as best as I can tell, no such animal is sold north of the Rio.

Yabut, it probably doesn't have a 27" infotainment center w/ Apple CarPlay + wifi hotspot, lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking, driver alertness monitoring, 5G connectivity, level eleven self-driving, fully automated backing and parallel parking, and every other automated gizmo & doodad that makes trucks great at doing truck stuff

That’s the best thing about it

[KrustyTJ]

How often do you see a newer regular cab short box Z71 I’d guess special order

I was driving next to one that had white and black wrap that looked even shittier. Wasn't smooth looking at all. Made it look like painted plywood.

On this one all the panel gaps varied all over the place and the panels weren't flat, very wavy.

Leaving lunch one day I spotted a 2wd, standard cab longbed F250 KING RANCH! I thought to myself, "that had to be custom ordered!"

from Wiki:
The Shelby Dakota is a limited-production performance version of the Dodge Dakota Sport pickup truck. Offered by Shelby for 1989 only, it was his first rear-wheel drive vehicle in many years, and his first production pickup truck.

The Shelby Dakota started with a short-wheelbase, short-bed, standard-cab, Sport package pickup. The 3.9 L V6 producing 125 hp (93 kW) was replaced by a 5.2 L V8 with throttle-body injection. The tight space in the Dakota's engine compartment necessitated removing the engine-driven fan in front and using a pair of electric ones instead. Removing the belt-driven fan increased the stock 5.2 L V8's output by 5 hp (3.7 kW).[1] With that, the Shelby Dakota produced 175 hp (130 kW) at 4000 rpm and 270 ft⋅lbf (370 N⋅m) of torque at 2000 rpm, with a redline at 4,750 rpm.[2] The only transmission option was a 4-speed automatic, and the truck featured a 3.90:1 limited slip differential.[3] When tested by Motor Trend, the Shelby Dakota clocked a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 8.5 seconds and a quarter mile time of 15.6 seconds.[1]

The Shelby Dakotas featured special graphics, wheels, blacked out trim, wheelarch extensions, a sports bar behind the cab and a front air dam with integrated fog lamps.[4] On the interior, they also featured a Shelby steering wheel, seat inserts, and floormats, and individually numbered dash plaques.[1]

Total production was 1,500; 860 in red and 540 in white.[1] List price was $15,813 plus freight.[2]

Dodge later introduced a high-performance version of the second-generation Dakota in 1998 with the Dakota R/T. Though lacking Shelby involvement, it similarly featured performance and appearance upgrades over the standard Dakota Sport, including special wheels and tires, better suspension components, and a larger, more powerful V8 engine.
