Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
I don't personally know a single person who's bought a regular cab truck in the last 20yrs at least. That's why they stopped.

My last new truck 2007 Dodge CDT 4 door with an 8 ft cab. Pulled a camper with two kids. Prior to that was a 1998 GMC 12 pass van . Three young kids and three rows of seats each had their own bench seat. Made the trip nice and quiet.

I guess people need a place to go and brag about it, and I suppose another 30 years of natural erosion has taken its toll, but I see no reason why the road(s) should have gotten so much worse than they did the previous 100 years, other than the high horsepower motorcycle riders that insist on rooster-tailing their way everywhere. Even before we left, some of the hiking trails that had been very nice had been torn up to the point that they were nothing but huge rocks. I haven't been back up in the park for almost 25 years now, but our friends who have a cabin a few miles down from Tincup tell us that the motorcycles and ATVs scream up and down the valley all day long all summer long now. A few years ago they finally came up to visit our place and were amazed how quiet it is and how little traffic there is here. Okay, sorry for the rant, but it really was an out of the way Shangri-La clear up until about the mid 1980s when the feds insisted on shoving a paved road up around Taylor Dam. And now I hear that Cottonwood is paved all the way down to the lake

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
I did. The replacement was a 4 door because the price was right and it's easier to sell a 4 door. I would have another standard cab in a hot minute but they are way to expensive. This thread got me to build one on chevrolet.com. 48+k for a standard cab diesel 4x4 with no options. Nope. That's not happening. I can rebuild an old truck and be happy. Around here you see alot of newer standard cab trucks but most are farm trucks and long beds. Personally I think they should just get rid of the gas hog grocery getters and go back to the days of work trucks with minimal options. That should drive the cost down to where you dont need a second mortgage.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
Those old single cab pickups with bench seats could be really handy. One time I took three gals and we went off on a afternoon drive up a mountain, as far as we could get. The trail was really off camber in one section and so the four of us were all sliding toward the low side. Of course we couldn't slide very far because it was pretty tight
It would not have been near as much fun in a four door pickup with bucket seats.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
Packin' into the pickup. It's just how it was meant to be. Cars are made for hauling people. Trucks are made for hauling.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
The last new pickup I bought for myself was in 1990. It was a K1500 single cab swb.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
Ford is great. They have been the real innovators in the pickup segment, not GM. They aren't afraid to try things and also didn't get bought out in 08. Probably the best truck you can buy for the past 15 years or so. I like that their extended cab truck isn't a 4 door like GM. I considered buying a newish one last year. F150, 5L V8, crew cab with 6.5ft bed. Went on a trip instead

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
Which is sad. I quess everyone looks for status and needs that extended cab with all the options that really doesnt gain you anything. I miss regular cab pickups with the 8 foot box. Crank windows. Just give me cruise and ac. It's sad that pickups went this route. Geared towards luxury and status instead of performance. We did it to ourselves. They didn't need to get this expensive.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
I still prefer a reg cab shorty, always have. But some years ago I stepped up to an ext cab and then the current crew cab because of needing to carry things inside the cab that just wouldn't fit in a reg cab. That's no longer a need with the job change so once again I am keeping an eye out for a nice reg cab shorty.

Re: Stopped by the ford dealership
So the late model GM SWB regular cab trucks are going to be through the roof now that they are obsolete...
I really like my 02 I picked up last year the 5.3 makes it a fun driver and plenty of room inside
