Re: Newer trucks vs. Older trucks

If your 40 year old truck was 100% restored it would still suck compared to a new modern vehicle for towing safely.

Thats not to say an old truck is bad at towing but comparing a 400hp 2012 with a 10K pound towing capacity and every safety feature in the book to a dinosar is like comparing a appple with a orange imho.

There is no way I would even consider hooking up a 5K load to my 69 and rolling down the freeway at 70 with my family. My 09 silverado will do that standing on its head and get 3x the gas mileage while being quiet and safe.
