What one generation wants is meaningless to the next generation. People used to always want a big block gas engine in tow vehicles. Now very few do.
Maybe people want more towing ability without having to buy a $60,000 truck or live with its harsher ride. It is definitely a price point.

I still want a big motor in my TV. Problem is. No body makes one. About the largest thing you can get is a little 6.2. 379CI. Not a big motor by any standards. I'd love to have a 460CI (7.5L) motor in my F150. If I had my choice.

That would put the front axle over weight! Chris

So you are saying the front axles on a 79 Lincoln Continental, or a 1973 F100, were stronger, and could carry more weight than the axle on a 2014 F150? OR would you not think they would put the necessary axle in it.
