It's Dad's and my truck specs!
When Dad was going to buy his last truck in this life, he wasn't going to settle on "whatever is on the lot." He gave his specifications, and the dealer found his truck: Access Cab, 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive. He begrudgingly accepted paying for the base stereo system with Bluetooth at Mom's urging. He was hard of hearing after more than twenty years around aircraft engines (late radials and early jet engines), and I would rather listen to the sounds of my vehicles and pay more attention to what's going on outside the vehicle (wildlife, geology, scenery, landmarks). Access Cab provided space to run across to both side windows for their border collie on trips to town, and towing capability for his 15' aluminum guide boat with storage in the cap for fishing trips. Our last fishing trip together, he tried out the 4wd transfer case dash switch and "That's neat!" I bought it later, and since have added some accessories, including the most important: rustproofing frame treatment for body on frame vehicles. A smooth HDPE tailgate insert is easier on my knees. Our specs: 2TR-FE engine with manual transmission is a durable and reliable combination. Don't expect car-like ride from a truck... It's better than a car at keeping you awake.
