I found this video kind of depressing not because of the presentation or anything but because I so badly want something useful the old little s10's and rangers are getting hard to find and I think its time someone made a little truck again that i can lift stuff into with bad shoulders and has the least amount of electronics and stuff that can be done these days. I would like a little work truck an fm radio would be fine for entertainment a decent set of mirrors for backing into tight spaces would be preferred I would like to be able to open the doors and hose it out after a extra dirty day it would also be nice if it had enough power and breaks to deal with those times I go a little over the load limits

The new Ford Maverick is probably as close as you will be able to get to those old trucks
