Ironically I don’t think they are getting better fuel economy.

I agree.

I’m 2nd Gen Dodge guy myself. Had a 01 Dodge 3500 24V with 500,000 miles on it when I sold it, original engine. I currently have 00 Dodge 2500 24V, looking to surpass the former with miles.
I was tempted to buy a Mega Cab Cummins, yet I don’t like the newer stuff, and didn’t want any debt.

What do you think about the electric vehicle craze?

I have a 2011 Nissan Xterra. It's the last "new(er)" car I'm buying unless I stumble across a pot of gold somewhere.

I also have a 1972 VW bug with a new motor in it. Simple, runs great, easy to work on. No computer chips or delicate sensors. Easy peasy.

Also have a 74 Dodge Charger. It runs but I need to replace bushings up front. I plan on rewiring it too, simplify things a bit.

Modern cars are overcomplicated junk.

Electric cars are an even bigger scam.
