I have to agree with the other post that the best truck is the one that's paid for and doesnt live in the shop. I've had Dodges, Fords, Chevys, and Nissans. Gas and diesel in the Dodges and Nissan. Wish I could still get a new Nissan diesel, best truck I ever had. All were good trucks but all had their own problems and quirks. If you want no electronics you are going to have to go back to the early 70's. My own personal biases are against GM trucks from the 70's (rust), Fords from the 80s (that blasted computer on the side of the distributor), and GM diesels. Right now I've got a 75 Ford F350 with a 390, a 2001 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins, and a 2003 Dodge Dakota with a V6. All good trucks, I like the Dodge diesel the best, drive it the most. Dakota is a good truck (my 3rd one)but spouse insisted on an automatic and it doesnt get any better mileage thand my diesel (plus I like the extra room in the big truck, I'm over 6'1" and weigh 240). Down side is the diesel will get stuck in a mud puddle (both it and the Dakota are 4x4) while the Dakota will go most anywhere (I'm calving now so that's important). The old Ford is getting some problems and I dont trust it for long trips any more plus it is a gas hog (about 8 mpg) but it's got a 12' steel flat and comes in handy. I'd like to find a contractors dump for right to put on it.

David
