It's hard to find a new F 350, diesel, long bed, single wheel 4x4. It's a real truck, but to dang expensive..... unless your 25 years old.
a long bed crew cab..is more a company truck. Long as a train. Not real popular outside of that....

The best advancement in new truck technology for me has been the integrated trailer brake controller.

The one I like best is the back up camera

It leads to another gilded age with ostentatious displays that accomplish nothing but glorification of the individual
in vain attempts to impress others who aren't worth the trouble to impress in the first place. But to each their own.

I would like to see how these integrated brake controllers work. I haven't found an aftermarket brake controller I like yet.. the time based ones have to be set soft when you're hauling cattle, making them absolutely useless if you have an emergency, and the inertia based ones require the truck brakes to do too much of the work.. and they don't work when you're stopped. I'm working on designing my own that goes off brake line pressure.. it's the only way you can get them to do what you want methinks
