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 might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV

Tue, Feb 23 2016

The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
