Ok so I get it. New trucks are taller old ones were short, horses used to pull the original campers around (covered wagons). Things change.....
But is anyone SERIOUSLY complaining because today’s cars and trucks are heavier than in the past??
That is like creating a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist!
So a 450hp muscle car is 1000lbs lighter than a new muscle car? Compare to my fave 70 LS6 Chevelle SS. I guarantee my new SRT stops twice as fast, double the perf on the skid pad and absolutely eat it’s lunch in the 1/4 mile stock for stock. All while getting 2x the gas mileage twice the longevity of components and it’s like sitting in a spa with a 400W sound system!
Trucks haven’t gotten much better though..... lol. I’ve run the **** out of he best the 70s, 80s and 90s had to offer and even my old 07 will absolutely destroy the best big block truck made in towing, handling, mileage, comfort and power. And it’s behind the curve now compared to the new ones in every department except raw power but I had to mod to get the power I got. Oh wait, the reg cab bench seats were soooo much better than the worst seats everyone complains about now though.....
Y’all keep wishing for the stupid old trucks to come back and anyone who’s serious about it, I’ll find fine examples of yesteryears iron and you can trade me for your horribly tall and heavy new Powerstroke or Duramax!
Cheers!
