I find myself hopelessly stuck in that quandry, too.

For example, my 4800. It's got the best of the simplicity world- divorced transfer case, simple air brakes, manual tranny and a mechanical DT466. So easy to maintain & repair.

For the modern world it has air ride seats, air release tailgate, but really needs air conditioning and power windows

Not really an "efficiency" thing-more of a comfort thing.
