Yeah, I hate that tiny, can’t fit well if you’re over 6’ tall, underpowered screaming 85 ponies, sparsely appointed, roll yer own windows and an AM radio, trucks aren’t available any more….
I’m sure they’d sell like hotcakes! Lol
I'm 6'2" and the regular cab was plenty spacious. If I had a couple of my football buddies, it was a bit crammed but otherwise no issue for 2 big guys.
Actually had 93hp but it only weighed in just over 3000lb curb weight. No you aren't going to win a lot of drag races but plenty of pep for normal driving.
Sure our current F250 has 365hp but also weighs in at 7500lb, so it needs that extra HP.
Yup, for sure. But 2022 called 1983 and told them that no one wants 93hp trucks with paper thin seats that don’t recline.
Sure, you could ride an Allis Chalmers from here to Kansas, but you wouldn’t like it. Same thing with trucks.
I don’t disagree with you on the need for simple basic vehicles but even so, all the required electrical Nannie’s and features basically preclude simple, anymore.
And PS, we never chose the kid who had the squarebody S10 or the Nissan pickup for road trips. Why? Comfort. That’s where my 70 Impala stepped up. Lotsa ponies and comfortable. Something that got lost in the 70s and 80s. Well the horsepower part anyway…
