myself full size extended long bed 4x4. bucket seats, heat& ac, cup holders, limited slip in back machenicql locker up front. no carpet or vinyl floor pand designed to drain and drain holes in the floor. water proof seats and electronics so no issues hitting the inside with pressure washer. crank windows Am/ fm radio and exterior not painted but line x to be dent and scratches resting. And 3/4 ton suspension.
maybe with a short bed? I'm split between halling and agility on this.
something built more for using as a truck Than comfortable family Sudan. Though the ac radio, cup holders and bucket seats are unnecessary luxury add ons.
I think basic trucks would sell especially if priced accordingly Maybe 30k
Anyone else out there that would like to see more basic utiliti trucks marketed? If so what's your idea truck look like and price points you would like to see for it.

No $2,000 head lite assemblies, just stamped out in the fender like they used to be and no electronics in the tail gate they to are thousands of dollars added on the bill. 200 hp diesel without the DEF waste of money stuff, that would make for a normal exhaust pipe of a few hundred dollar and not the thousand dollar ones now used. Make the computer os we can add or delete the seat belt, door and what ever alarms

$20,000.00. 1/2 ton 4x4 that isn't so tall you have to be a giant to reach in the back. Regular cab, 8ft. box. You know, a truck. Like before the yuppies turned them into station wagons you need to take out a mortgage to own. This offered in a stripped down version. No computer, 4 on the floor or 3 on the tree. No power doors, windows, nothing! Oh and cozy windows for AC.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Go back and redo my 2006 Tundra, then offer a 10 year, 200,000 mile warranty that nobody ever collects on cause they never break down. The ONLY thing they needed to change on that was the torque curve so when running on cruise control, it could pull a hill without downshifting to passing gear.

No computer except electronic ignition but I am fine with points and condenser again. Carbureted. v8 at least 300 hp. Standard transmission with manual shift transfer case. No plastic. Manuel hubs.
If our ridiculous congress would allow them to be built again they would be easy to afford. You could repair/maintain/service them easy yourself. Most of the stuff government decided we need I dont want. I dont think I am alone.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

No turbo or super charger. If need one engine is too small. roll down windows and wings, 2 doors need a truck not a SUV

Way too much computerized stuff. What's with a brain box for a chassis?! I thought fixing a turn signal was going to be easy until I found that brainbox mess. Big Fords have side mirrors with electric extending. $455 for a used one from a salvage yard. I delivered a used salvage aluminum wheel for a Suburban. $455
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

A bed I can reach into with out climbing up on a running board or tire.
No need to put steps on the tailgates or bumpers if they were lower.
