actually been wondering about the possibility of coming at least close to the cars of yesteryear if we ever get to this new beginning I hear about on here. i keep watching these mechanical videos of newer cars and they're just out of reach. every car is over engineered, nobody at home can so much as to replace the battery without a ton of bs, enormous repair bills, increasingly complex that the mechanic population is lowering, and just plain unattractive. they're a complete disconnect from reality and simplicity. I own a 6 ton from 1965, a car from 1972, and a car from 2009 and we are lost. we have lost our way. it's not funny anymore. if you notice, pickup truck beds have shrunk. probably because they've crammed so much pointless bullshit in the dash and consoles, they have to increase cabin space and therefore reduce the bed just to be able to not span 2 whole parking spaces. JUNK THEY'RE ALL JUNK
Don't get me started on pick-up beds. They have shrunk, I agree, but they are also now almost always chest-high, and with the pickup bed sides, you can't even place a rake or a shovel inside, and reach over and get it out again, unless you are seven feet tall.
Ford has a little man-step built into it's tailgate, like an elderly ladder, to help reach in. GMC has a 6-function tailgate, to help assist you into climbing up into your bed to retrieve your long-lost rake.
Meanwhile, I look on at smart owners who purchased lovely sensible right-sized Ford Ranger pickup trucks from the mid-90's who have wisely kept them up in great condition, and remember what could have been...
and then they lift them l o l i want a pickup to look like i need a pickup, but i only want to use it for a trendy fashion statement l o l
