GM to offer Cinch Jeans editions of Kodiak and TopKick pickup trucks

General Motors and Monroe Truck Equipment are teaming up with "western" clothing manufacturer Cinch Jeans to offer special editions of the Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick pickup trucks.

Starting with a 4500-series GM medium-duty vehicle that's a significant step above the typical one-ton "dually" pickup, Monroe adds a pickup bed and other creature comforts to create what many feel is the ultimate pickup truck. If that's not enough, though, the Cinch Jeans edition brings Monroe's new "So-Low" air suspension that drops the truck four inches for easier ingress/ egress and trailer hook-up. The sound system is upgraded with MTX loudspeakers, and a DVD system with a 15" flip-down monitor is standard. Also included are heated seats covered in "distressed" leather, and plenty of Cinch logos so everyone knows just how serious you are about your cowboy lifestyle. A Brett Boakius edition will also be offered, but we don't know who he is (apparently he's a rodeo rider, but that's a sport we fail to follow on a regular basis).

Admittedly, we here at Autoblog are a bit uncomfortable with the idea of driving around in any special edition of a big truck that has a textile tie-in. Well, maybe we'd make an exception for any truck manufacturer who joined up with Carhartt.
