What’s w the hate?

My brother worked for a masonry construction company back in the 80's and the company had an Isuzu Pup diesel. He said it was bulletproof. They ran the piss out of that truck. Just a good, simple, no frills little work truck. Can't find that anymore 🙁

My thoughts as to why it was designed with the angular and flat panel stainless steel was because of SpaceX’s starship. It would get the engineers at both companies familiar with the material more. When they first announced the truck I also thought they would be using the lower grades of stainless that didn’t make it to SpaceX’s standards. But now I think it was stainless because Elon was working with stainless for starship and decided it was cool.

Only the 90s could have given you the Citroën Xantia Activa.

Replaceability vs redundancy and somehow replaceability prevailed to manys dismay

I bought a 91 Chevy Silverado k1500 in 2021 and although I had a ton of problems with it for the first year or so, I slowly fixed all of them and I now have a very reliable old school truck and I love it. It can do some serious towing and the bed is way bigger than anything on the market today.

It's called freemasonry.

Well, failure is mother of success, hope Tesla learns from the experience and keeps putting out EVs on the leading edge of progress and accessibility. I'd love to drive one.

Idk why you make unresearched Videos Tesla allready made a killing on this Vehicle. They sold more than all other competitors. 52000 Preorders. Compare this to the Merc EQS failure. YOur liveing on a nother planet if you cant see the incredible succes of Tesla compared to other manufacturers. Some people on the internet hate a Vehicle they dont own and cant afford. Who cares what they have to say? Those guys are not going to buy BMW or Merc.

I had a 96 Ranger with a 4.0. Then I had an 03 S-10 with a 4.3

Last fall, I bought a 92' Izuzu PUP with 57,000 miles, in great shape! 5 Speed Manual with no power steering as a dealership option! It's my prized spring-fall vehicle, and I get head turns everywhere I go.

Oh, my beloved 1990 CRX Si “Christine”😢

We need to stop this trend in America, we have sone of the un safest, least human infrastructure in the world, and we don’t need TRUCK PEOPLE GOING 0-60 IN 2.6 SECONDS WITH 7000LBS BEHIND THEM. We need to limit car performance, as well as the kinds of vehicles a literal 16 year old with a fresh license can drive. This is ridiculous are we just going to get to a point where millions are dying in car crashes a year? Why are we increasing the weight, making cars more expensive and more resource and energy exhaustive to move, they should be as light and as safe as possible while going only reasonable necessary speeds. I shouldn’t have to tell you that the heavier a car is the more energy it takes to move things, and when you’re dragging a car every where you go, THAT MATTERS. Why are we sticking 5000lbs of glass and steal to every human and wondering why we expend so much energy and pollute so fervently moving each person one at a time.

Seeing a Tesla Truck on the road is like seeing a dude driving an original Pinto. Your head turns for all the wrong reasons.

Nah, your boss lied to you about why he drives around a truck but never uses it for truck purposes - it's because he wants to feel like a big tough guy who's a man's man when he's out there on the road. I loves the feeling of power watching other cars on the road get out of his way. That's the appeal of these monsters. They are marketed as such.

The only good truck I ever had was my 97 Tacoma now they're too big and too full of electronics. Gone back to a 2001 Saab which the 90s design and much more fun than anything today with manual transmission and no touchscreens

As a former owner of a Golf V6 4motion, built 99 and registered 2000, I can only agree to the general sentiment. 90s cars hit just the right spot between simple cars and modern amenities, both technical and comfort. Still easy to drive no-brainer cars like from the 80s, but several comfort upgrades like proper quality former "luxury" features such as really good ergonomic seats, 16/24V engines with proper ECU and etc., but without the more recent diseases of annoying the driver with ridiculous demands like only starting the engine if the clutch is pressed, or loud alarms like undone seatbelts even if you're simply maneuvering for parking. Many 90s cars hit the perfect sweet spot between freedom, comfort, and reasonable safety. I'll miss them.

many old cars was build to last, new cars are build not to pollute. Thin metal and plastics

are you trying to tell me the 72 chevy nova is not the greatest american car ever !?

Has to have electronic fuel injection or you're getting 10 mpg with carbs and stinking up the neighborhood .

Speaking my language, last truck I bought was a 2018 frontier, manual, crank windows, manual locks, 2.5 doors, $18k. Nothing like that available today. EPA needs to understand their unintended consequences!

I admit the SSR is stupid, but I still love it

Man I like the 90s too, but those are some very rose tinted glasses you must be wearing.

I have owned many cool cars , but my 66 mgb with wire wheels was one of my favorites. On the + side it was a babe mag on the downside it fell apart faster than I could fix it and I learned how to stop using the emergency brake

Put some respect on the panther platform. Lincoln Town Car, Ford Crown Vic, and Mercury Grand Marquis. The 90s versions of those cars were perfect commuters that could be modified to be performance cars.

If the windows don't break how will the first responders get you out of the coffin?

Reliable = low anxiety.

this dude just taking a dump on this thing. They are being creative and innovative here.

1. I think it might be nostalgia, but the 90 care are beautiful in my opinion 2. America so stupid

When I was in Germany in the 80s-2000s, the German cult car was the Opel Manta, there was a popular movie "Manta, Manta". After the fall of East Germany, the East German Trabant (Trabbi) became a cult, even though hated during the Soviet era. It was small, as in cramped, made of pressed wood, with an engine equivalent to a riding mower. I rode in one once, thank God, back seat middle, I could literally dip my head and lick my knees, and I got sea sick and going around corners. it felt like the car slid, but it was just the suspension, so it felt like a small boat in heavier seas.

I still miss my 1993 VW Vento 😢

That said, here is a story for you: At least in the late 90s/early 2000s, The German magazine Stern, had a TV show version of the magazine. I watched it one time for some reason, and they pulled out and old VW Beetle, and the new Beetle. They then handed a light bulb and screw driver to a woman in the audience who claimed no knowledge of cars and pointed her to the old Beetle, then brought in a team of mechanics and handed over the new Beetle. By the end of the next story, she was done and tested. By the end of the show, the mechanics were still not finished. No, I do not recall if it was from the start of the show or the middle., but it was a 1hr. show. The point was how difficult new cars were to fix yourself, requiring you to go to mechanics and many cars were even far more difficult for even them to fix.

Like this message if you refuse to buy a car with buttons for a gear selection

In an age when computers are sooooo cheap. Why is the computer in modern cars so awful.

my first car was a 99 S10 loved it so much, i miss it to this day

The answer to his son should have been "don't be stupid son, that's daddy's job".

What's amazing is just how much better the F-150 Lighting is at, everything except charging. That on board air compressor? Yeah, Rivian has that. Towing? Range? Yeah, GM accomplished this, Towing is practical with an EV today, but they used a whopping 200 KWh battery to do it, it's even one of the fastest charging EVs on the market right now. Very expensive still, not economical yet, but GM has it, Cybertruck? not even close. What does the Cybertruck do, aside from look stupid to differentiate itself? What does it compete with the other EV trucks on? seemingly, nothing. Also you want to talk about retro car design? The Hyundai Ionic 5, retro 80s, yet modern at the same time. That's how you do retro.

Simplicity, ease of finding parts and be able to do most repairs yourself.....for me that was a 1965 Chevrolet Nova wagon

Your level of knowledge about cars (and hence, people who are expressing their views on cars) is ... well, it can't even be called mediocre. Camissa is one of the world's top five automotive journalists - I don't know if Matt from Smoking Tire (who by the way also writes for Road and Track, just like Camissa started his career in print) is in that top, but Camissa certainly is. Watch some of his Carmudgeon podcasts and bask into his knowledge and perspective. I've worked on cars my entire life - and there is very rarely anything I disagree about with him - which is in turn very rarely a case with any journalist. Camissa's point when he lauded the CT was all the engineering achievements on the car.... truck. All the "automotive world's firsts". The 48volt onboard architecture, the steer by wire, the steering calibration, and many, many more aspects of the truck, on top of the obvious ones. He (obviously) hadn't used the thing for months or even (too many) days - to draw an informed conclusion about "livability" or "usability" of the truck. You start bitching how great MKB - or whatever his channel name is - when the ONLY REASON he ever entered the automotive youtube realm - was to GET. MORE. SUBSCRIBERS. because he saw the uptick in car review channels and thought - hmm, I can do tech, I can do cars, too (in short, he cannot - the dude should go back to tech - and play his beloved freesby once in a while if he gets bored of mobile phones and tablets). Couple of reasons your automotive knowledge is lacking (can you even have a CAR channel - if your engineering level is... well... less than mediocre? Apparently, yes) - so you say things like "this doesn't make sense" in respect to not needing to change brake pads (which actually works this way on all electric cars, moreover - trucks with 30+ tons of weight would probably get massive amounts of electric motor torque - which in reverse means (ever wondered how electric motors worked?) massive amounts of regen), you ask whether making space for an air compressor would make a car larger (which would be absolute cat crap had you ever held in your hands an autmotive air compressor) - and you babble about things like "I would rather daily a wienermobile". I'm starting to get suspicious - given your ... less than mediocre - automotive understanding - that this video might have been made - not to add your knowledge to the overall data pool related to the Cybertruck - but rather to ride some sort of a "publicity" wave - about a thing that is currently "hot" and on everyboody's minds, thus harversting views and likes. Either way - this is unwatchable - grow up and get better - best wishes from Latvia.

My first car was a 2000 Honda Civic, it's really a 90's car as it was part of the 96-00 generation and basically identical to the 1999 model year. I actually still have it and drive it regularly. It's honestly not the most brilliant car to own, Honda tried to get a little fancy with the EX trim level I have, and I think some of it caused more issues. But I've been able to repair just about everything on it myself, except when I blew up the engine at a track day, I took the engine to a machine shop for that. Every time I drive that car, I get a big smile from how engaging and fun it is! I've never driven a newer car that makes me feel that way.

Its the perfect truck for someone who doesnt need a truck and they have the NFT trader personality type lol

No man wants to drive a smart fone💀🤡

"this is the worst era" -every young person ever "i grew up in the best era" -every old person ever

7:30 the free market, in a graph

I like my 2002 Lexus IS300 more than my 2010 is250, the early 2000s was truly something

I daily drive a 2002 4.0l v6 ford ranger xlt. I absolutely love that truck. If I could keep it on the road forever, I would. It gets me to and from my 25 mile commute to work every day without a hiccup. I've had everything in the bed from motorcycles to gravel to luggage. No power windows, no central locking, limited buttons and tech, it's an absolute dream. I can't even complain about the mpg either. If I had the option of buying that truck new vs a brand new modern pickup, I would choose my 02 ranger every single time. It's a true work horse, just perfect. Not to mention the payload puts any modern light truck to absolute shame.

I can bet that the hotdog car not only drives better that the cybertruck, but it also looks less stupid, which is saying a lot.

Lotus E-spirit? Seriously?

Vehicle death rates are rising because of phones for sure, but lets not forget the nav screens in vehicles act much in the same manner. Heating or cooling, volume adjustments or station changes simply meant pushing 1 button or turning 1 of 5 or 6 knobs. Today there is a poorly visible screen which you have to tap 5 or 6 times before getting to your desired function, then another 4 or 5 taps to adjust the desired function. The steering wheel used to have a horn. Cruise was a terrific add on in addition to volume and station controls for the radio. Now the steering wheel has a fkng keyboard and you're lucky to find the horn in time to honk it at the a$$hole who needs to be honked at. The guage cluster used to be just that... Speedo, Tach, Temp, Fuel and ocasionally Oil and Batt. A few idiot lights rounded out the package. Now you have too much info on display,- temp, direction, trip odo, mpg real time, mpg avg, bla bla bla. All sh!t that takes your eyes off the road and hand off the wheel for as long as possible. They had to build cars safer because they knew, with all the bells and whistles smeared across the dash and steering wheel, people would be looking at them the way a cat studies a Christmas tree. And the danger gets even MORE fun at night when EVERYTHING is lit up to the point the cabin looks like peering into a nuclear reactor. Mesmerizing. Just another way for too many engineers to keep their jobs.
