It's a good thing for the manufacturers that some of us appreciate what the new trucks have to offer. If someone where to offer me an unused '01 Super Duty or Ram free of charge with the condition that I had to park or sell my newer one and use the '01, I'd definitely turn them down. I might struggle enough to even accept the offer if it were a unused 2006 GMC Denali Duramax that was being offered.

I totally disagree. My dad has a 2000 Powerstroke that takes a half a county to turn around because of the front leafs and you can hardly carry on a conversation going down the highway. But that truck new for free? Yeah, I'd save the money I spent on my truck and invest it and happily take that old 7.3 with the crappy 4 speed trans. It may be a bit crude but it's reliable and even tows relatively well, and I think that's a pretty good looking vintage for Fords.

Bought new ,and drove for nearly 16 years the early 99 7.3 Superduty . Great truck. IMO still the best looking body style out there for a 4 door crew cab short bed, but thats about where it stops . Just no comparison to these newer trucks, comfort power etc.
