Drive old/older cars and trucks. They’re cool.You can work on them yourself ( much older cars & trucks!)

Who needs all the hi tech bell whistles and computer everything? The poor little XYZ’z will suffer....

I would never want to drive some ancient relic from the past except in a 4th of July parade. My current generation Chevy Silverado is so much more refined. And when it comes to towing technology, it just can't be beat. Hooking up a trailer is a cinch with hitch guidance and the downward looking camera. A press of the button on the infotainment screen starts the light test that checks all the lights, including turn signals and brake lights. The integrated TPMS displays the trailer tire pressure and temperature on the infotainment screen. The integrated trailer brake controller gain is displayed on the driver information center every time I hit the brakes. If someone tries to steal my trailer, it sets off an alarm as soon as someone disconnects the 7 pin from the truck. And that's just trailer stuff.

I like having my LED lights, automatic dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, memory function seating and all the other creature comforts. If I remote start the truck during winter it turns on the heater, the heated seats and the steering wheel heat. In the summer a remote start will turn on the air conditioning. I like the safety of the blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, electronic stability control, antilock brakes, front and side airbags. I like the convenience of a fob I never need to take out of my pocket. Each door has its own button on the door handle, so I can lock and unlock the truck from any door. I like the convenience of pushbutton start and stop. The power down/up tailgate is also a nice touch. And the 6.2L engine with 10 speed transmission is so much better than some ancient V8 with a three speed transmission. I'll take my new truck over some 50 or 60 year old truck any day of the week.
