Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christian, will you turn yourself on for a second Danger Ranger? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, Ford Ranger?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Okay, but the Ranger did you feel like you were
superior to other trucks?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, so mine was a splash so and it had
a little get up to it, right, We messed around
with it to make it go fast and had like
the spikes tired.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Right, But when you pulled up to let's say, like
a regular half ton pick up.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, I was nervous, right exactly. In high school, we
had the whole everybody who had a truck, we had
a whole section.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We took up the back row.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So it was like the big GMC's, the Dodge Rams,
the F one fifties, and my little Danger Ranger. There
was two other people that had the Rangers, but mine
was that like orange red, so it stood out a bit.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
But yeah, and then one other question, and I know
you may not answer this honest because you know someone
that has one, But as a former truck owner, do
you consider the Jeep Gladiator a truck.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That's a no, thank you, thank you, thank you? So
is that on the hierarchy or no? Well, is it
on the hierarchy?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yes, But they went with an asterisk, which says anybody
who has like even like they're like even people who
have like a Ford Maverick or a Honda ridge Line. No,
but well they'll tell you that that at least it's
by the way. Again, they look up at the ranger
and go like, God, I wish I had one of those,
but the Ridgeline and the Maverick.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Go, but at least I don't have that being the gladiator.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, people who own a truck again, even the Honda
ridge Line will look at a Jeep Gladiator and go,
it's not even a truck.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I thought the Honda ridge Line was a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Have you seen one.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Nofense to those driving the I know that a Honda
Ridgeline is a truck.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Tyler, pull up your typical F one fifty and look at.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Okay, but now that's that go ahead, go ahead, f
one fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Sounds like Christon has her own hierarchy. The no, so far,
Christian's falling completely in line. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Growing up, it was like my dad in all of
like my friend's dads, everybody had a truck and you'd
pull up next to one and you're always looking at
that what exactly? And even growing up too, Like.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You know, when you're inferior, nobody has to say anything.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, we'd always say like, oh, because I came from
a Ford family, right, And then the kids in school
would we'd always fight and argue like, oh, well you
drive a Chevy. It's like a rock it disintegrates.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We would come up with a stupid slogans but but
but now in the hierarchy, though, they'll tell you that, yes, that, yes,
some of the stuff does fall by, like, for example,
if you're both in the same category.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
For example, if you had a Ram TRX and a
Ford F one fifty Raptor, somebody may think that they're
superior because they have a Ford versus a Dodge. However,
in the hierarchy of what you own, both of you
are way better than like a regular half ton pickup.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, I feel like you look at the Raptor because
it's just for show. You can't go poll a boat
with that. That's why I get the halftime for yeah,
oh it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
My dream truck. Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
The F three fifty King Ranch Duly Extended Cab Midnight
Blue the.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Look it up.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
By the way, I will tell you this the and
that qualifies, that classifies as a one ton heavy duty
truck and that sits at the top of the hierarchy.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That is comparable to me in the car world, as
Miles Miles Garrett as like that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That makes me drool. Yes, that thing.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, so you're you're there's only one thing that tops this.
But the one ton heavy duties, the three point fifty,
the two point fifty, the RAM twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Those are hot, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And the Silverado HD or is it the Sierra HD.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Those classified big extra bonus points. If it is a
diesel HM that sits at the top of the hierarchy
other than other there's only one.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
There's something else on top of the pyramid.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, but it's not based on it's not based on
make and model.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's based on year.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, there's a lot of respect paid to somebody if
they pull up in a big old pickup truck from
model years seventy to mid eighties. Much classic there you go, Yeah,
there's well cute. I don't know if we go with classic,
I don't know. It's respect. Like you bought a work
truck and you were working.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Did you mention like tacomas or Tundras.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, that's not an American made.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Sorry, I believe there are Toyota plants in the United States.
It's not the same. With your permission, Christen.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The what do the Tacoma and the Ranger have in common?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
What they are not? Well, they are they're considered compact.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So if you pull up next to somebody at a
light and they are in an F one fifty, a
GMC at four or the Toyota TRD, which are all
off road trucks, there's no reason don't engage.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
There's Kristin.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
But I did hear you say the Tacoma and Range
are in the same class.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The Yes, we're smaller. Yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The Now I will say this, the Tacoma in the Ranger,
they definitely look down on the ridge Line. Yeah, they
all know the ridge Line is a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
The Gladiator is not.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
But I also pulled up a photo of the Ford
Maverick you mentioned in that same category, which sounds like
it's at the bottom of the pyramid.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, the ridge Line and the Maverick. If I was
also the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
If I was at a rental place and they said, oh,
way I've left, is this Ford Maverick, I'd say.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'll walk the Why I couldn't drive this truck? By
the way, you know who else would say that? Anybody
who owns a two fifty, a three point fifty or
a one to fifty, I'd rather walk?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Are you I reserved a truck? This is considered It
looks like a truck to me.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm sorry, this is considered small the Maverick. It's barely
considered a truck. Unless you own a gladiator. You are
at the bottom of the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Maybe I don't know what a cheap gladiator is. Yeah,
you do.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Ask Mike Jones to text the picture of his car
in Yeah, not a trucks. It's not a truck.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's the jeep with the long bed. What is the Yeah,
that's a jeep. The oh so you agree not a truck.
I wouldn't like that driving down the road. That does
not intempdate that Jones refers to it as a truck.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Right, Well, the big joke is, and I'm sure you've
seen it on your feed where there's a picture of
a gladiator part next to a cyber truck and somebody
posted and said two different looking trucks and the overwhelming responses.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Neither are trucks.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, may I read something about the seventies and eighties though.
That was quite amusing to me, even someone who's not
an enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This will be good. Well, maybe maybe you read it too.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
It says those are trucks for real men, and just
like me, everyone else in their brand new lifted pickup
trucks knows we are just cause playing as someone who
would actually have and use one of these older pickups.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Now that there is some truth to that, because no, no, no,
because back then they were work trucks, like pickups were
work trucks. Yeah, now they are they're I mean they
are they are luxury vehicles.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
They're beautiful. Yeah. What did we have when we were
in Myrtle? What was that big old thing ram? Yeah?
That thing was nice. That thing was nice.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Oh, the Santa Cruz is curved, not a truck, Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
This is gonna come through that wall.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
WHOA, I don't even ever seen one of these for
thank god, I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Maybe you just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Remember looking down at them. And I don't mean because
of the low profile. I meant because of status. Yeah
that is I will say this though more of a
truck than what Mike Jones has.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I think, honestly, it looks like it it backed into
something and lost it's it's rear window.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh on behalf of all owners? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
No, but it this would stand out to me as
much as you see the stupid cyber trucks. Now, this
the Santa Cruz. I would see now and be like, well,
what the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a Santa Cruz.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I've never seen one of these.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's one step above a gladiator and it literally is
the bottom of the line with the ridge line and
the Maverick and Diane.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You you've never seen one of these either, right, Yes,
you have this funky looking the police.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I might be able to rent that. Look at that thing.
Tyler's gonna come in. I bought a truck, y'all. No
you didn't know. You didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You got a console for tampons? Where am I gone?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Line one? Hi? Elliot the morning? Hey who's this Chris
from Louisa?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes, by the way, is the breakdown? Is the hierarchy
of pickup trucks accurate? So far?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Definitely definitely right? And is that? But is that a
constant thing? Like what do you own.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I got overado.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
See the ninety two and the eighty nine. There's respect
that comes with those.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Oh yeah, I mean you can't beat them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Sorry the no, no, but but that's not that's not
one of your big one ton trucks.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Either, though.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
No, no, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
If you pulled up next to a Honda Ridgeline at
a light, Tyler's in his ridge Line or I'm sorry,
Tyler's in his Santa Cruz that he just bought. Do
you look over at the light and just not out loud,
because you're not a mean person, but just kind of
chuckle to yourself and go not even a truck, pretty much,
(10:47):
Thank you, sir, Thank you?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yes, Tyler Tom writes, I love my Santa Cruz with
the middle finger emoji.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
By the way, who makes who makes the Canyon? Know that?
Who makes the Canyon? Pickup truck? That is GMC mid size?
Can I see it? Uh huh oh, I recognize that.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, that falls in line with the Tacoma and the Ranger.
So it's above the Santa Cruz, the Ridgeline, and the
Maverick two above the Gladiator, but it's still down there.
I will say this, and I hesitate to say it.
I like a Toyota Tacoma. Is Kristen's Mike still alive?
(11:35):
I do pretty popular those. I've certainly got.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
One for a while. The did he like it? Yeah? Yeah,
well not a real truck. I tell you what.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
He better hope he gets a ridge line next to
him if he wants to feel manly.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Where am I going? Well, you're going to Mike Jones message. Oh,
here we go. Mike Jones doesn't even have a truck.
Yes he does, he sent a picture.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I'm hearing a lot of trash trust talk from people
who don't even own a truck like you. I love
my Gladiator and these said non truck owners can suck
it right.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Okay, Well, and that's coming from a jeep owner, not
a truck owner.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Aaron would like to know if you are willing to
turn Christen's mic bag on sure where she stands on
electric trucks.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Wha, she stood up fast?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
You see that ain't a truck.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All one word?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Oho, Jason is upset that you keep even calling the
Honda ridge Line a truck.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It is It is in the in the hierarchy. Yeah again,
in the pyramid. It is the base and I think
the only reason it gets mentioned is because of the Gleep,
the Jeep Gladiator, which is not even a truck, but
the the whether it's the ridge Line, the Maverick or
the and a Cruse, it is a truck like that,
(13:03):
you can't argue it is a truck.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Jason says.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
It's the powertrain is the same as the Honda Pilot
Odyssey and V six Accord.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Okay, I don't. Last time I looked, I don't think
the Accord is a truck. No, No, it's like my
Jones may as well have an accord. I think that's
his point. Oh that the that the drive train on
it isn't a truck.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Correct, that you can get one with front wheel drive. Okay,
that's why it's at the bottom of the barrel. No,
I thought that was Cheep Gladiator. No, that's not even
in the barrel. Hi, Elliott the Morning. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
It's Johnny from Press.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
George, Hey, what's going on, dude?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I don't think the truck is under an eight foot bed.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
If you can't hal a hall a piece.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Of plywood, what use is it seeing that?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Here we go, Yes, yes, I gotta, I gotta, I
got a ninety eight.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Dodge Ram thirty five five nons comings.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That's a truck.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh wow, how loud is that then?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Pretty loud. The neighbors hear me leaving every morning.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Hey, let me ask you this. If you pull up
next to a if you pull.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Up next to a a gmc canyon or a Ford Ranger,
do you just look over and kind of like whatever.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
I'm not a Ford guy.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
All right, very good, thank you sir. He's to look
at it now. From spooky ist Elliott, the Honda Ridgeline
is not a truck.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, I yes, it is actually And for the bottom
of the pyramid, I know there are you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It should be lumped in with the Gladiator. Okay, Gladiator
is not a truck.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
And this is also from Spookis And the Ford Maverick
is just an escape with a bed.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Not trucks.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Could you imagine I go to a dealership and somehow
they convinced me to buy what I think is the
equivalent of a F three point fifty, and it is
a Maverick, or it's a ridge Line, or it's a
Santa Cruz, and I wasn't aware of this judging that
goes on, and I think, here I am with a
pickup truck only to bow down with respect to the classics,
(15:40):
And no, I'm laughed at it every single stoplight.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And by the way, maybe they're right that those three
shouldn't be trucks. Yeah, but those three still look down
on the Gladiator.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So I think maybe that's why they.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Classify from mister here, He's right, the Maverick is not
a truck, it's a sports car.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
What is the best selling truck in the country. Isn't
it always the f one fifty fifty?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, that is your best selling best selling truck in
the country. Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Line six? Hi? Ellie in the morning? Hey is this me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Who's that? Hey?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
It's Chris. I've got five Fords.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What in what order?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I got two two fifties, a three fifty, four fifty,
and just got a Raptor.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh dude, good for you, Good for you. By the way, Kristen,
Kristen will be dming you later. The Hey, which is
your Which is your baby?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
So the Raptor is now my baby. I traded in
a twenty two two fifty platinum Diesel for the Raptor.
I was tired of driving such a big truck and
wanted something a little more fun.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Right, And it is absolutely my baby.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So the the F one fifty Raptor, you love.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I love it so much that I'm actually friends with
the dealer. He gave me an allocation.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
For an r Oh wow, good for you.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Hey, any chance did you test drive kind of in
that same category? Did you test drive the Toyota TRD?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
No, sir, it's Ford only.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh right.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You wouldn't be caught dead in that car, would you. No,
we do have a Tacoma.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But that's for one of the service managers.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
There you go. Hey, last thing, where are you on
the jeep Gladiator?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
You know, I don't know how purposeful it is? Well,
I don't know how purposeful the Raptor is, but you
know it'd be fun for the beach.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What about a Honda Ridgeline? No, sir, thank you? All right,
very good, very good. Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Yes, Tyler from Randy as a jeep owner, we don't
claim Gladiator either. But back to the piece, it says
for the Santa Cruz Ridgeline in Maverick, they exist in
a really interesting place because I don't think truck people
really respect them, and they are certainly at the bottom
of the hierarchy. But it doesn't matter. I don't think
(18:15):
the drivers of these trucks give a crap about all that.
Why would they? In all honesty, they bought some of
the best trucks on the market. If more truck owners
were honest with themselves about what sort of tasks they
need to get done with their pickups, they would opt
for one of these three. No one needs a truck
as big as the Silverado ZR two, a Ford F
one to fifty Rapper or Tundra, but they want it
(18:37):
because of the image it puts out into the world.
Just hope a one ton pickup doesn't pull up next
to you at a gas station because your ego might
not be able to take it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You know what that is?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
So for all Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, and Maverick owners, here's
your participation trophy.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
What is the Subaru Baja? Was that on your list? Kristen?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The Subaru Baja that's not on my list?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Can I see it? An all wheel drive? It's already
better than the Honda.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Four passenger four door utility. So is this is this
a debated vehicle as well, whether or not it's a truck.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Okay, it's it's definitely a truck. Did we just create
a category between Maverick, Ridgeline, Santa Cruz and gladiator.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I mean, it's still better than a gladiator. I don't
think I've ever seen one of these either. By the way,
I bet people would say, that's not a truck.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Look how low it is next to the Yukon that
it looks like a sedan with it looks like a
little fart like get backed into something again. But it's
not as curvy as the Santa Cruz.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Which you liked.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Well, I mean, yeah, I don't know where to put
the Subaru.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't know where to put that. Where am I going?
Line three? People are fired up?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Ah Elliott, the morning Elliott to Thrasher here, Hey thrash Er,
what's going on?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Dude? I had a truck?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
What do you have?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Got a I got an F one fifty sitting on
thirty fives with the sixth inch lift.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
The see But now people will now some people will well,
first of all, that's a beautiful truck.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That is a beautiful truck.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Some people, some people would say that it shouldn't be
lifted because then it's not versatile.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But it looks good. Hey, when you pull up next.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
To a tacoma, a canyon or a ranger, do you
look down on them? And obviously you're up higher than
they are.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
But from a I look down on everyone, but I
do have I do have truck envies on two fifties
and three fifties.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
There you go, so you would you see it? You
see it two fifty and a three fifty. You look
at that and you go, you know what? I respect
that I do?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But anything?
Speaker 7 (21:04):
What I gotta go? I gotta go do TV?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Wait? What TV? Are you doing? Happy Gil Mart?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm doing the Lion Lunch Hour on Fox Sage.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Hey, will you do like you did that one time
to put hashtag E I T M online on a sign?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So if I had a T shirt, i'd actually wear it.
But no one has ever given a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Well why haven't you ever asked? Well, you know what,
to be fair, I don't have a T T and
T shirt. True? All right, even, all right, very good,
thank you, you got it. We all have a bunch
of Thrasher's rum shirts.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You guys do He's never given me one.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, I have Thrashers, rum and t t rum DMV.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
All I have is Ellie in the morning. Where am
I going? Line eight? Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
How you doing good? Who's that? Jason? Yes, sir, my
name is Jason from Glenmurney.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Yes, I have a nineteen ninety seven Ranger with over
two on seventy thousand miles.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I get compliments all the time from bigger trucks.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That goes to the top of the list of somebody
who is that. That's a classic, and that shows somebody
who's that shows somebody who's put in the work and
the time.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, of owning that and even the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Two the same way that Thrasher only shows respect to
the two fifties and three fifties. They would respect, they
would respect the age and the wear and tear of
your truck.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Oh, she's beautiful though it's Raven's purple black hood.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
All kinds of work done.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You get it?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
There you go, there you go, all right, very good,
Thank you, my friend, Thank you, sir. And in case
somebody I like that, I like that respecting of elders, Yes,
I do like that.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
In case Santa is listening. What is Kristen's dream truck again?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I don't know if she'll remember before you answer that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Can you answer again? Does Mike Jones own the truck?
All right? Dream truck? Please?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Midnight blue f three fifty extended cab, duly king wrench,
look it up. Please stand.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Twice she's requested that that's a nice truck. That's a
truck they ain't cheap, American made. Is the Tacoma Nope
Christian, will you turn yourself on for a second Danger Ranger? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, Ford Ranger?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Okay, but the Ranger did you feel like you were
superior to other trucks?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, so mine was a splash so and it had
a little get up to it, right, We messed around
with it to make it go fast and had like
the spikes tired.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Right, But when you pulled up to let's say, like
a regular half ton pick up.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, I was nervous, right exactly. In high school, we
had the whole everybody who had a truck, we had
a whole section.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We took up the back row.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So it was like the big GMC's, the Dodge Rams,
the F one fifties, and my little Danger Ranger. There
was two other people that had the Rangers, but mine
was that like orange red, so it stood out a bit.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
But yeah, and then one other question, and I know
you may not answer this honest because you know someone
that has one, But as a former truck owner, do
you consider the Jeep Gladiator a truck.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That's a no, thank you, thank you, thank you? So
is that on the hierarchy or no? Well, is it
on the hierarchy?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yes, But they went with an asterisk, which says anybody
who has like even like they're like even people who
have like a Ford Maverick or a Honda ridge Line. No,
but well they'll tell you that that at least it's
by the way. Again, they look up at the ranger
and go like, God, I wish I had one of those,
but the Ridgeline and the Maverick.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Go, but at least I don't have that being the gladiator.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, people who own a truck again, even the Honda
ridge Line will look at a Jeep Gladiator and go,
it's not even a truck.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I thought the Honda ridge Line was a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Have you seen one.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Nofense to those driving the I know that a Honda
Ridgeline is a truck.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Tyler, pull up your typical F one fifty and look at.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Okay, but now that's that go ahead, go ahead, f
one fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Sounds like Christon has her own hierarchy. The no, so far,
Christian's falling completely in line. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Growing up, it was like my dad in all of
like my friend's dads, everybody had a truck and you'd
pull up next to one and you're always looking at
that what exactly? And even growing up too, Like.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You know, when you're inferior, nobody has to say anything.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No, we'd always say like, oh, because I came from
a Ford family, right, And then the kids in school
would we'd always fight and argue like, oh, well you
drive a Chevy. It's like a rock it disintegrates.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We would come up with a stupid slogans but but
but now in the hierarchy, though, they'll tell you that, yes, that, yes,
some of the stuff does fall by, like, for example,
if you're both in the same category.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
For example, if you had a Ram TRX and a
Ford F one fifty Raptor, somebody may think that they're
superior because they have a Ford versus a Dodge. However,
in the hierarchy of what you own, both of you
are way better than like a regular half ton pickup.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, I feel like you look at the Raptor because
it's just for show. You can't go poll a boat
with that. That's why I get the halftime for yeah,
oh it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
My dream truck. Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
The F three fifty King Ranch Duly Extended Cab Midnight
Blue the.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Look it up.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
By the way, I will tell you this the and
that qualifies, that classifies as a one ton heavy duty
truck and that sits at the top of the hierarchy.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That is comparable to me in the car world, as
Miles Miles Garrett as like that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That makes me drool. Yes, that thing.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, so you're you're there's only one thing that tops this.
But the one ton heavy duties, the three point fifty,
the two point fifty, the RAM twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Those are hot, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And the Silverado HD or is it the Sierra HD.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Those classified big extra bonus points. If it is a
diesel HM that sits at the top of the hierarchy
other than other there's only one.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
There's something else on top of the pyramid.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, but it's not based on it's not based on
make and model.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's based on year.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, there's a lot of respect paid to somebody if
they pull up in a big old pickup truck from
model years seventy to mid eighties. Much classic there you go, Yeah,
there's well cute. I don't know if we go with classic,
I don't know. It's respect. Like you bought a work
truck and you were working.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Did you mention like tacomas or Tundras.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, that's not an American made.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Sorry, I believe there are Toyota plants in the United States.
It's not the same. With your permission, Christen.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The what do the Tacoma and the Ranger have in common?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
What they are not? Well, they are they're considered compact.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So if you pull up next to somebody at a
light and they are in an F one fifty, a
GMC at four or the Toyota TRD, which are all
off road trucks, there's no reason don't engage.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
There's Kristin.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
But I did hear you say the Tacoma and Range
are in the same class.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The Yes, we're smaller. Yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The Now I will say this, the Tacoma in the Ranger,
they definitely look down on the ridge Line. Yeah, they
all know the ridge Line is a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
The Gladiator is not.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
But I also pulled up a photo of the Ford
Maverick you mentioned in that same category, which sounds like
it's at the bottom of the pyramid.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, the ridge Line and the Maverick. If I was
also the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
If I was at a rental place and they said, oh,
way I've left, is this Ford Maverick, I'd say.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'll walk the Why I couldn't drive this truck? By
the way, you know who else would say that? Anybody
who owns a two fifty, a three point fifty or
a one to fifty, I'd rather walk?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Are you I reserved a truck? This is considered It
looks like a truck to me.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm sorry, this is considered small the Maverick. It's barely
considered a truck. Unless you own a gladiator. You are
at the bottom of the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Maybe I don't know what a cheap gladiator is. Yeah,
you do.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Ask Mike Jones to text the picture of his car
in Yeah, not a trucks. It's not a truck.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's the jeep with the long bed. What is the Yeah,
that's a jeep. The oh so you agree not a truck.
I wouldn't like that driving down the road. That does
not intempdate that Jones refers to it as a truck.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Right, Well, the big joke is, and I'm sure you've
seen it on your feed where there's a picture of
a gladiator part next to a cyber truck and somebody
posted and said two different looking trucks and the overwhelming responses.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Neither are trucks.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, may I read something about the seventies and eighties though.
That was quite amusing to me, even someone who's not
an enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This will be good. Well, maybe maybe you read it too.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
It says those are trucks for real men, and just
like me, everyone else in their brand new lifted pickup
trucks knows we are just cause playing as someone who
would actually have and use one of these older pickups.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Now that there is some truth to that, because no, no, no,
because back then they were work trucks, like pickups were
work trucks. Yeah, now they are they're I mean they
are they are luxury vehicles.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
They're beautiful. Yeah. What did we have when we were
in Myrtle? What was that big old thing ram? Yeah?
That thing was nice. That thing was nice.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Oh, the Santa Cruz is curved, not a truck, Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
This is gonna come through that wall.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
WHOA, I don't even ever seen one of these for
thank god, I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Maybe you just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Remember looking down at them. And I don't mean because
of the low profile. I meant because of status. Yeah
that is I will say this though more of a
truck than what Mike Jones has.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I think, honestly, it looks like it it backed into
something and lost it's it's rear window.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh on behalf of all owners? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
No, but it this would stand out to me as
much as you see the stupid cyber trucks. Now, this
the Santa Cruz. I would see now and be like, well,
what the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a Santa Cruz.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I've never seen one of these.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's one step above a gladiator and it literally is
the bottom of the line with the ridge line and
the Maverick and Diane.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You you've never seen one of these either, right, Yes,
you have this funky looking the police.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I might be able to rent that. Look at that thing.
Tyler's gonna come in. I bought a truck, y'all. No
you didn't know. You didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You got a console for tampons? Where am I gone?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Line one? Hi? Elliot the morning? Hey who's this Chris
from Louisa?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes, by the way, is the breakdown? Is the hierarchy
of pickup trucks accurate? So far?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Definitely definitely right? And is that? But is that a
constant thing? Like what do you own.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I got overado.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
See the ninety two and the eighty nine. There's respect
that comes with those.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Oh yeah, I mean you can't beat them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Sorry the no, no, but but that's not that's not
one of your big one ton trucks.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Either, though.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
No, no, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
If you pulled up next to a Honda Ridgeline at
a light, Tyler's in his ridge Line or I'm sorry,
Tyler's in his Santa Cruz that he just bought. Do
you look over at the light and just not out loud,
because you're not a mean person, but just kind of
chuckle to yourself and go not even a truck, pretty much,
(10:47):
Thank you, sir, Thank you?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yes, Tyler Tom writes, I love my Santa Cruz with
the middle finger emoji.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
By the way, who makes who makes the Canyon? Know that?
Who makes the Canyon? Pickup truck? That is GMC mid size?
Can I see it? Uh huh oh, I recognize that.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, that falls in line with the Tacoma and the Ranger.
So it's above the Santa Cruz, the Ridgeline, and the
Maverick two above the Gladiator, but it's still down there.
I will say this, and I hesitate to say it.
I like a Toyota Tacoma. Is Kristen's Mike still alive?
(11:35):
I do pretty popular those. I've certainly got.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
One for a while. The did he like it? Yeah? Yeah,
well not a real truck. I tell you what.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
He better hope he gets a ridge line next to
him if he wants to feel manly.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Where am I going? Well, you're going to Mike Jones message. Oh,
here we go. Mike Jones doesn't even have a truck.
Yes he does, he sent a picture.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I'm hearing a lot of trash trust talk from people
who don't even own a truck like you. I love
my Gladiator and these said non truck owners can suck
it right.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Okay, Well, and that's coming from a jeep owner, not
a truck owner.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Aaron would like to know if you are willing to
turn Christen's mic bag on sure where she stands on
electric trucks.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Wha, she stood up fast?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
You see that ain't a truck.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All one word?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Oho, Jason is upset that you keep even calling the
Honda ridge Line a truck.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It is It is in the in the hierarchy. Yeah again,
in the pyramid. It is the base and I think
the only reason it gets mentioned is because of the Gleep,
the Jeep Gladiator, which is not even a truck, but
the the whether it's the ridge Line, the Maverick or
the and a Cruse, it is a truck like that,
(13:03):
you can't argue it is a truck.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Jason says.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
It's the powertrain is the same as the Honda Pilot
Odyssey and V six Accord.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Okay, I don't. Last time I looked, I don't think
the Accord is a truck. No, No, it's like my
Jones may as well have an accord. I think that's
his point. Oh that the that the drive train on
it isn't a truck.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Correct, that you can get one with front wheel drive. Okay,
that's why it's at the bottom of the barrel. No,
I thought that was Cheep Gladiator. No, that's not even
in the barrel. Hi, Elliott the Morning. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
It's Johnny from Press.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
George, Hey, what's going on, dude?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I don't think the truck is under an eight foot bed.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
If you can't hal a hall a piece.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Of plywood, what use is it seeing that?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Here we go, Yes, yes, I gotta, I gotta, I
got a ninety eight.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Dodge Ram thirty five five nons comings.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That's a truck.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh wow, how loud is that then?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Pretty loud. The neighbors hear me leaving every morning.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Hey, let me ask you this. If you pull up
next to a if you pull.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Up next to a a gmc canyon or a Ford Ranger,
do you just look over and kind of like whatever.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
I'm not a Ford guy.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
All right, very good, thank you sir. He's to look
at it now. From spooky ist Elliott, the Honda Ridgeline
is not a truck.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, I yes, it is actually And for the bottom
of the pyramid, I know there are you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It should be lumped in with the Gladiator. Okay, Gladiator
is not a truck.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
And this is also from Spookis And the Ford Maverick
is just an escape with a bed.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Not trucks.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Could you imagine I go to a dealership and somehow
they convinced me to buy what I think is the
equivalent of a F three point fifty, and it is
a Maverick, or it's a ridge Line, or it's a
Santa Cruz, and I wasn't aware of this judging that
goes on, and I think, here I am with a
pickup truck only to bow down with respect to the classics,
(15:40):
And no, I'm laughed at it every single stoplight.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And by the way, maybe they're right that those three
shouldn't be trucks. Yeah, but those three still look down
on the Gladiator.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So I think maybe that's why they.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Classify from mister here, He's right, the Maverick is not
a truck, it's a sports car.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
What is the best selling truck in the country. Isn't
it always the f one fifty fifty?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, that is your best selling best selling truck in
the country. Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Line six? Hi? Ellie in the morning? Hey is this me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Who's that? Hey?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
It's Chris. I've got five Fords.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What in what order?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I got two two fifties, a three fifty, four fifty,
and just got a Raptor.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh dude, good for you, Good for you. By the way, Kristen,
Kristen will be dming you later. The Hey, which is
your Which is your baby?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
So the Raptor is now my baby. I traded in
a twenty two two fifty platinum Diesel for the Raptor.
I was tired of driving such a big truck and
wanted something a little more fun.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Right, And it is absolutely my baby.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So the the F one fifty Raptor, you love.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I love it so much that I'm actually friends with
the dealer. He gave me an allocation.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
For an r Oh wow, good for you.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Hey, any chance did you test drive kind of in
that same category? Did you test drive the Toyota TRD?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
No, sir, it's Ford only.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh right.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You wouldn't be caught dead in that car, would you. No,
we do have a Tacoma.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But that's for one of the service managers.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
There you go. Hey, last thing, where are you on
the jeep Gladiator?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
You know, I don't know how purposeful it is? Well,
I don't know how purposeful the Raptor is, but you
know it'd be fun for the beach.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What about a Honda Ridgeline? No, sir, thank you? All right,
very good, very good. Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Yes, Tyler from Randy as a jeep owner, we don't
claim Gladiator either. But back to the piece, it says
for the Santa Cruz Ridgeline in Maverick, they exist in
a really interesting place because I don't think truck people
really respect them, and they are certainly at the bottom
of the hierarchy. But it doesn't matter. I don't think
(18:15):
the drivers of these trucks give a crap about all that.
Why would they? In all honesty, they bought some of
the best trucks on the market. If more truck owners
were honest with themselves about what sort of tasks they
need to get done with their pickups, they would opt
for one of these three. No one needs a truck
as big as the Silverado ZR two, a Ford F
one to fifty Rapper or Tundra, but they want it
(18:37):
because of the image it puts out into the world.
Just hope a one ton pickup doesn't pull up next
to you at a gas station because your ego might
not be able to take it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You know what that is?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
So for all Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, and Maverick owners, here's
your participation trophy.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
What is the Subaru Baja? Was that on your list? Kristen?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The Subaru Baja that's not on my list?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Can I see it? An all wheel drive? It's already
better than the Honda.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Four passenger four door utility. So is this is this
a debated vehicle as well, whether or not it's a truck.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Okay, it's it's definitely a truck. Did we just create
a category between Maverick, Ridgeline, Santa Cruz and gladiator.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I mean, it's still better than a gladiator. I don't
think I've ever seen one of these either. By the way,
I bet people would say, that's not a truck.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Look how low it is next to the Yukon that
it looks like a sedan with it looks like a
little fart like get backed into something again. But it's
not as curvy as the Santa Cruz.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Which you liked.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Well, I mean, yeah, I don't know where to put
the Subaru.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't know where to put that. Where am I going?
Line three? People are fired up?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Ah Elliott, the morning Elliott to Thrasher here, Hey thrash Er,
what's going on?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Dude? I had a truck?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
What do you have?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Got a I got an F one fifty sitting on
thirty fives with the sixth inch lift.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
The see But now people will now some people will well,
first of all, that's a beautiful truck.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That is a beautiful truck.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Some people, some people would say that it shouldn't be
lifted because then it's not versatile.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But it looks good. Hey, when you pull up next.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
To a tacoma, a canyon or a ranger, do you
look down on them? And obviously you're up higher than
they are.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
But from a I look down on everyone, but I
do have I do have truck envies on two fifties
and three fifties.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
There you go, so you would you see it? You
see it two fifty and a three fifty. You look
at that and you go, you know what? I respect
that I do?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But anything?
Speaker 7 (21:04):
What I gotta go? I gotta go do TV?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Wait? What TV? Are you doing? Happy Gil Mart?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm doing the Lion Lunch Hour on Fox Sage.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Hey, will you do like you did that one time
to put hashtag E I T M online on a sign?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So if I had a T shirt, i'd actually wear it.
But no one has ever given a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Well why haven't you ever asked? Well, you know what,
to be fair, I don't have a T T and
T shirt. True? All right, even, all right, very good,
thank you, you got it. We all have a bunch
of Thrasher's rum shirts.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You guys do He's never given me one.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, I have Thrashers, rum and t t rum DMV.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
All I have is Ellie in the morning. Where am
I going? Line eight? Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
How you doing good? Who's that? Jason? Yes, sir, my
name is Jason from Glenmurney.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Yes, I have a nineteen ninety seven Ranger with over
two on seventy thousand miles.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I get compliments all the time from bigger trucks.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That goes to the top of the list of somebody
who is that. That's a classic, and that shows somebody
who's that shows somebody who's put in the work and
the time.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, of owning that and even the.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Two the same way that Thrasher only shows respect to
the two fifties and three fifties. They would respect, they
would respect the age and the wear and tear of
your truck.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Oh, she's beautiful though it's Raven's purple black hood.
