You know what would win my $$?... A full size, basic, no frills truck for less than $25,000. Basic means no nav, no 17 way adjustable memory power seats, no cameras pointing in ever direction....just a goddam truck. Kinda like my 97 C1500 but not worn out. Oh yeah...and I want a key to start the damn thing....not a button. Why can't they do that?
THIS....is why I bought MY truck
....... And it was still expensive! When did pick-ups become Urban Limo's anyway? 1990 or so?
Yeah, don't need all that junk. Enough room and power to tow and haul what I want, and not Uber-expensive that I'm afraid to use it for what it is. Don't need power leather koochie heating seats or carpet, powered remote heated mirrors, On-Star or on-board GPS, any of that. The remote cameras on Aunt's GMC I find more annoying than anything else, among other things.
Mine does have power windows, mirrors and locks, which are nice, but totally unnecessary. I have lock-out hubs, a real lever on the transfer case, vinyl floors and cloth seats. Cleaning it out involves a garden hose just like back in the day. Spray in liner is half gone, bed dented up on the inside because I use it as a TRUCK! Probably 10-15 tons of gravel hauled in it thus far, among other things.
