Believe me, the market would prefer the older, smaller, steel framed trucks than the newer aluminum ones. But they're no longer an option, new. EPA regulation

Believe me, the market would prefer the older, smaller, steel framed trucks than the newer aluminum ones. But they're no longer an option, new. EPA regulation and govt overreach/ unintended consequences are what led to these design changes, not market demand. The blue-book price for my 12 year old steel-framed truck has gone up every year since I bought it used. >before they turned into a political/biological/emotional statement piece The anti-truck crowd, which supported all the regulations that led to the current state of vehicle design, are the ones that made this a political/emotional issue, whether they realize it or not.
