Re: "...and that doesn't have thousands and thousands of dollars in electronic gadgetry that will either be broke or outmoded"
Agreed. I just put $3,000 into my Silverado because the $50 pipes leading to the transmission got corroded and destroyed the transmission (because they're of crappy quality, according to the mechanic who says he's seen "hundreds" of Silverados that failed for the same reason.) The truck has a working radio but no working speaker. The driver's control of the two passenger windows has failed. Rain gets into the driver's door and sometimes pours out of it. The front left tire pressure sensor has failed twice, so I guess I'll need to have that replaced again. The 'air bag needs service' light is always on. The '4WD needs service' light is sometimes on. The cruise control sometimes works but usually not.

This truck is old but it only has 52,000 miles on it! It's a product of Chevy's who-gives-a-sh!t attitude.

...iffen I wuz king of GM I would make a plain vanilla pickup truck that doesn't sit so high off the ground that ya has to have a ladder to get in and out of it and that doesn't have thousands and thousands of dollars in electronic gadgetry that will either be broke or outmoded long before the truck is paid for. It would look a lot like DGpeddlers truck. It would sell like hotcakes.
