Terryallen, thanks for the memories.
I've owned three pickups in my 50+ years driving; a1972, 1978, and 2012 (see sig). The 2012 is a real monster and technological marvel when compared to my earlier trucks. Started driving my dad's '59 F-100 back then on the farm and never had any hesitation to fill it with feed and grain. Didn't have power steering ( or any other of todays truck options)....didn't need it as the heavy loads lifted the front end and then you could steer it with your pinky finger!
That all said, todays RV's are monsters as well when compared to "back in the days" rigs.
I sometimes wonder, where/when will this demand for bigger, heavier, longer trucks/rv's begin to level off?
I love my truck though!
