Not only that, no heated seats, electric windows, USB port for the sound system, or 10 mph bumpers!

We just got rid of our 1996 Explorer with 190 on the clock. Engine, tranny, and drive train were in great shape. All 3 kids learned to drive on it, but our youngest just smashed it. Grrrrr....

Electric windows are a liability on a chevy. The guides, motors and/or switches go in ten years. HIS windows work when the battery fails. And REAL BENCH SEATS!! Yay!

A brother-in-law has a compact Ford 2001 truck. He loves it. No electric stuff, barebones, has roll-up windows, manual mirrors, etc. I make fun of him because most cars and trucks for the last thirty years have comfort items. All he says he needs is to get from point A to point B. He's like my father (long departed) who bought a 1959 Rambler that had no heater or radio (optional items); me and my siblings hated that car.
