I probably know why you don't want to look at the fancier trucks. "More to go wrong," right?
Think about it though: When is the last time anything went wrong? Things have come a long way since the 1970's when a single drop of water would render your power windows inoperable.

As time goes on finding those "basic" trucks is going to get tougher and tougher, as many convenience features become standard. You will see crank windows go the way of the manual transmission in trucks in the next 5 years.
Sooner or later you will have to give into the "dark side" and enjoy life a little. Drove a truck with crank windows for 15 years. Bought my '02 Chevy dually with the LS package, and found myself going for the power window button on my daily driver.... Give in! :)
