    Who is complaining about having to drive old trucks? Maybe they are complaining about driving raty, broke down, POS trucks that someone else owns and doesn’t take care of? Mine is not that old but I love my 2001. Most guys on here like there old trucks as far as I can tell?

    No offense to anyone but I agree it's the millennials. As the computers take over the world and the steering wheel holders do less and less a real truck will only Bewilder them like a Rubik's Cube.

    "Wait wait! You mean the computer won't shut the truck off for me? I have to have common sense to let it idle for 2 minutes? What? I have to watch the gauges? You mean the computer won't set off fancy little ding ding ding Bells and automatically shut the engine down? What kind of a world is this? You mean I have to actually control my own speed going down the road and know when it's safe to go a little faster or when I have to go a little slower? No no no the computer automatically limits me. Wait wait! You mean I have to know to watch the tachometer so that I don't over rev the engine? What kind of a DINO SOAR world is this? Next you're going to tell me that the truck won't automatically take care of my time and tell me when I have to stop and keep track of everything for me. You're telling me I have to actually take out a pen and write? No no no that can't be right. Next you're going to tell me I have to know how to use a clutch and actually shift gears. Oh my God my head is going to explode! Agghhh!!! Stop the insanity!!! I can't take anymore!!!

    Please put me back into a truck that'll wipe my hiney"...

    Real men drive real trucks.

    Well as a 22 year old I have to say you're probably right but I'm glad I don't drive a hiney wiping truck.
