Right, and your truck is far from either. It's just a pickup. No long or even mid travel, I don't see a bedcage or cantilever setup, no arms or glass, no engine/cabcage.

I'm not trying to be an ***, but don't call it something it's not.

Prerunner is both a class, and, a designation. ANY truck that runs the course BEFORE the actual race would be designated as a 'pre-runner'.

Lol there is no "prerunner" class. There are tons of different classes with the various organizations. SCORE, SNORE, MINT, etc. If you want to be technical, then my old Honda Civic qualifies as a prerunner, as I used it to drive down part of the course at the Parker 250 last year. Off topic, my bad.

I wouldn't worry about it OP, now if you plain to haul sh*t every day then you would prolly want to step up to a lower gear.

class, type, whatever. and yes, your civic would qualify. all depends on how ya wanna use the term. Your usage is just significantly stricter definition than others.

and yes, off topic....... oops.

Thanks guys for all the valuable information. I am going to do the lift, decide if I need to go bigger in tires, if so see how it performs and go from there. Thanks for helping a newb out. This is all new to me.
