Enjoying the back and forth discussion. My grandad was a farmer and he swore by ford trucks. He bought the simplest thing on the lot because cost and durability were his only criteria. He would take out the rubber floor mat and hose it out when it got too much mud in it and he drove them literally into the ground - decades. You could buy a 200 acre farm in rural Pennsylvania back in the 80's for what a nicely equipped ford f150 sells for these days.
A nice fancy truck is great but I don't want one. A simple, easy to repair and maintain brute is what I want. They are not available because all of the manufacturers are trying to outdo each other with fancy crap. Simple is still obtainable its just not being offered.
