There is no denying just how impressive today's new trucks are, they’re comfortable to drive, they’re quiet and they make ridiculous power for ‘off the showroom floor’ vehicles. While anyone can appreciate all the amenities found in today's $70,000 trucks, not everyone will appreciate that monthly payment. With that said, it seems more an more guys are willing to put up with a little steering wheel slop, a CD player that hasn’t worked for ten years, and a little engine noise from a pre-high pressure fuel-injected diesel. Take this old flatbed for example, while the owner has a 2019 Ram Mega Cab sitting in the garage more than capable of doing everything he’d ever want from a truck, he still finds need for this 280,000 mile 12-valve Cummins on a weekly basis. That fully loaded 6.7L Cummins Laramie is an impressive truck tows like a dream, but when it comes to weekend work, a pair of muddy boots and dirty clothes leads to the old flatbed where their will always be a soft spot in a blue-collar guys heart.
