Engineering, manufacturing, metallurgy etc have all advanced slightly in 60 years. You don't have a bunch of guys making calcs on a yellow tablet using slide rules and drawing things with pencils at drafting tables anymore.
Ya, maybe you're right. Here is some of that great engineering, manufacturing and metallurgy in practice today.
More of that 2022 great engineering and metallurgy.
Well maybe those pimple faced kids with slide rules knew more then you thought?

That's idiotic. You want to compare the US auto industry to the US RV industry in the engineering,metallurgy, and manufacturing departments? ROFLMAO. Now you have to go back to about 1976 when a Serro Scotty trailer was built better than a babyshit green 76 Ford Maverick 4 door.
Ya, maybe you're right. But then again you're the one that alluded to the fact that better engineering and metallurgy makes a better product.
I would venture to guess that my dads 1969 Fireball TT is still on the road today? For sure, it never had a frame failure like all of these new cool super computer engineered Lipert frames of today.
Ok, fine, have it your way. Lets talk about recent automotive stuff. Oh wait, here's one!!! Well, not one but 10's of thousands in fact! "It's a Hemi!" Oh snap! That's not good!!! But then again it's only the 5% club. 5% is not too bad. Right?
Here is another great engineering win!!! Dang, that wasn't really auto related either, but people have to admit it was funny!! They were really lucky that the mower was not inside of the building when it decided to Jeffery Epstein itself. :B
I'm sure someone is going to say Dewalt does not have as good of engineers as GM or Ford, Tesla or, or, or, or.......
Maybe we should talk about the 6.4 diesel or even the 6.0 PS diesel. Now those were real engineering jewels of recent past!!! :B
I think we can both agree that engineering and metallurgy is way better than 50 years ago......but in many cases that does not equate into a better/safer product...especially after the bean counters get ahold of said product.

There isn't a bed to cab gap which would definitely preclude any other bed options. Is this a body on frame truck or a unibody like a Ridgeline or a minivan?
