I am thinking of getting a truck like this in the April F-250 regular cab long bed 4×4 with the 6.8l Mini Godzilla Gasser Engine. I like them as they are really old school, reliable technology. Granted not three on the tree and they have air conditioning but it is 2026.

Old fashioned incandescent $12 headlights and $2 1157 bulb taillights – no LEDs. Simple Group 89 starting battery that Walmart sells for $80 and takes 10 minutes to install yourself. engine no auto stop shutoff and no cylinder deactivation. I avoid driving on roads with stop lights so I don’t need the EPA engine trashing woke technology. Big burly 250 amp alternator. Recommend 5W-30 oil that actually lubricates the engine. Not the horse piss non lubricant endorsed by EPA. Tiny little digital displays, you turn a key in the ignition to start.

While the WOKE might despise such trucks, the EPA designed Wokemobiles that comfort every need including heating your back with their crew cabs are such disposable crap. I’d much rather pay a little more for a basic reliable truck and a bit extra in fuel that I can get inexpensive, reliable parts and repairs compared to the wokemobiles all the advertisers are pushing full of screens and LEDs. When I see a truck advertising all the comforts and technologies, I have to scream! I don’t want a F-150 or a Maverick with every sensor and feature of imaginable.

Hell of it is – to avoid going woke – you got a spend a lot of money. As all the cheap vehicles are Uber Woke full of TV screens. But you do get a lot of capacity in exchange for your money, big powerful engine and alternator, roomy bed. Hell of it is with the sofa on wheels Wokemobiles with their mandatory crew cabs, they’re only 4″ shorter than the long bed regular cab Superduty. Oh, I do like the color red.
