Very soon you will see the gvw go up to 8400lbs on 1/2 ton pickups to get by emmissions laws so they will have to be tougher. I had an '89 dodge 1/2 ton 4x4 318 4sp manual, it was a good truck(had 250,000 miles on it when I parked it). I bought a brand new 2001 1/2ton 4x4 dodge, 318, 5 sp manual and it's a great farm truck, tough as nails(riddin' hard and put away wet). Very few problems with 80k miles. My '01 is rated to haul and tow more and has like 100 more hp then my'89. The new half ton pickups(any brand) are rated for even more towing and hauling. Most new 1/2 ton trucks are ruunning in the neighbor hood of at least 300hp, and they all are getting better mpg. I know my self being a farmer I'm not a fan of posh trucks that have power everything, GPS, leather, auto trans,etc. Most people want that garbage so automakers put it in. I do think your opinion of new trucks being "not real" is mute though.
