Reasons I hate New trucks and won't buy one:
-No manual transmissions
-Full of electronic 'nanny's' (traction control, braking controls, hill descent controls, etc etc)
-GPS/Nav crap
-WAY Excessive body work/sheet metal (horrible ground clearance AND bedsides/tailgate that are higher than your chest)
-Electric everything
-Too plush an interior even in the base models
-MSRP greater than that of a small house
Granted, not all models have all these problems, but this is the way the industry is going in general. I truly think if one of the MFG's would come out with a basic work truck without all that crap they would really sell. Till that happens I think I'll have to go find a nice 70's or 80's vintage truck and completely rebuild it from the ground up to get a decent work truck.
