You used to be able to shop for a "work truck" or van from Ford or GM which would be bare-bones. Manual transmission, manual windows, no AC, no carpet, simple vinyl floor and upholstery.
Similar features may be available in an SUV or sedan but I've never seen one; would probably be a special order or maybe only available to fleet purchasers.
I haven't bought a brand new car in over 20 years so I don't know if you can still get cars like this. Rear cameras are now mandatory, so all new cars will have a screen. And if they have a screen anyway, adding more features to it is likely to happen.
- rootusrootus 5y agoYou can still buy a work truck, yes. Heck, even my F250 XLT has a vinyl floor (and I like it!). But even so, they're 30K. > Rear cameras are now mandatory, so all new cars will have a screen. Nah, the cheap ones just put a tiny little screen in the rear view camera. Nice because it requires no other changes to the dash, and is universal across models.
- rootusrootus 5y agoJust re-read what I wrote. Had camera on the mind, meant to say 'rear view mirror'. How anyone could upvote my nonsensical comment, I'll never know. ;-)
