OK Dad...

my dad said about the same "you know back then they drove them all the time cross country etc" They must have been alot better drivers back then they also didn't have all the high tech roads to drive either we are a spoiled people now days. I'm not a fan of diesels just don't like them i tow everything with my 1/2 ton 85 4x4 does just fine with everything i need to do. All in personal preference i would honestly rather drive a old car that a truck of any year anyways.
