This Exotic Tridon Pickup Truck is for individuals that want to be the only one that has anything like it! It commands attention EVERY where you go.  I do mean this.  You cannot go anywhere without someone wanting to ask you about it, look it over, etc. Russell Knudson, of Knudson Automotives and Rage Vehicles in Omaha, Nebraska  designed and hand molded this truck. This is not a cheap kit, anywhere I take it, auto body professionals are impressed with the quality of the hand molded distinctive features of the Triton. I have a certificate of authenticity signed by Russel Knudson and a plack that goes with the truck. He only made 4 or 5 pickup trucks in his lineup of exotic vehicles, each one having it's own unique characteristics.  On speaking with Russell, he told me that one was wrecked in Texas and that mine was the only one that he knew the current location of. He told me that he could never make another one just like it because when he relocated into another building the mold broke. You can read more about his Exotic vehicles online, look up The History of Rage Vehicles, you will see a picture of this truck in the background when he first designed the Tridon. He started by putting a kicker cap on it (as pictured) and decided to leave it off and put the spoiler around the bed instead. The white truck pictured at History of Rage is THIS exact truck before the spoiler system was added. He only made one white truck. After we told him we had it, he came to Kentucky to see it again, bringing the certificate of authenticity with him and hand delivered it.

First, how does it run? Excellent, transmission shifts good. Drives great, rides VERY comfortably. Only has 46,274 miles on it. All lights, air, cruise, work great. Interior is beautiful two tone blue cloth specially done.  Has rear bench seat. Passenger seat folds up for easy access to back seat. Every owner has tried to keep this as original as possible. Headliner is starting to separate, and foam in driver's seat edge is just beginning to break down but the fabric is still in excellent condition. Local shop said $75.00 to do seat, and $150.00 to do headliner.

Exterior is White, very shiney, looks great but does have some imperfections. Scratch but no dents or cracks.  This is a 1990 model which will have some flaws.  It has 24" WIDE rear tires, NOT a dually.  Special hand molded exterior molds, special hand molded hood, fender, fender skirts, spoiler. Company logo on front grill.  The back of the tail gate originally had a large Tridon sticker which had been removed by a previous owner. Russell Knudson has given permission to have another one made if I wanted one. This truck is SUPER NICE and I cannot stress too much how this turns heads everywhere we go. If you have any questions please call me, Mitch, at 859-329-1167. If I do not answer, please leave a message and I WILL call you back.

GM pickup truck plant in Flint to add 1,000 assembly workers

Tue, Feb 5 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere. The announcement comes the day after GM said it was starting to hand pink slips to about 4,000 salaried workers in the latest round of a restructuring announced in late November that will ultimately shrink its white-collar workforce in North America by 15 percent out of 54,000. GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs in all. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint's truck plant could be a haven for many of these employees. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday will celebrate the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. Elsewhere in the company on Monday, two people briefed on the cuts in the white-collar salaried workforce said GM is cutting hundreds of jobs at its information technology centers in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan and more than 1,000 jobs at its Warren, Michigan Tech Center. GM is filing new required mass layoff notices with state agencies and disclosed the cuts to lawmakers. The largest U.S. automaker announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants. The cuts include eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers, or about 15 percent. GM cut about 1,500 contract workers in December and said 2,300 salaried workers accepted buyouts, officials said. "These actions are necessary to secure the future of the company, including preserving thousands of jobs in the U.S. and globally. We are taking action now while the overall economy and job market are strong, increasing the ability of impacted employees to continue to advance in their careers, should they choose to do so," GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said, adding the bulk of the cuts should be completed in the next two weeks. Morrissey said GM would provide salaried workers with severance packages and job placement services.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
