Old simple truck,
Love them . Bring back simple, affordable, tough .

[domnicclassi]

The best part of your truck.... You own it...and can maintain it and hand it down to your kids .
I can't even believe the price of new trucks .

[e.g.g]

Comfort 😂. That bumping around in your truck is what makes off roading fun. There's nothing like an old truck!

Nothing beats the looks of a square body chevy big green sounds way better

[justin________]

I would take the square body in a heartbeat. You can actually maintain it yourself if you want.

[Anubis]

Adjusted for inflation that K10 would be around $25, 000 today. Meanwhile the Bison upgrade package alone costs more than the entire truck did in '85.
I would trade that new truck in for an '85 square body in "reasonable" condition any day of the week.

Nice to see big green out and doing what these old trucks do best.

[ronp]

K-10 all the way! Maintaining it yourself is a HUGE bonus. Being able to change parts easily, at a reasonable price, and also being able to crawl under and on top of the engine makes it so convenient. I used to own a '72 C-10 .5 ton truck with a 350 engine, and it was a practical truck you could take to work, camping, helping family and friends move, and haul things around town. I miss the days of owning and maintaining your vehicle, without having to take it to a certified mechanic as soon as your "Check Engine" light appears. Great video and I'm looking forward to your next comparisons! 🛻

While TFL is doing a “long term” review of a month old Cyber Truck….. TK is doing Truck things! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I love the comparison between the old and new trucks. Newer trucks can show they are capable but they are made so nice looking and with those computers but damn you can’t beat the reliability of older trucks.

[robertgalipeau]

Old trucks anyday! I currently own a 2022 Ram 1500, a very fine vehicle. But, of all the trucks I owned over the past 40 years, my favorite of all time : my 1976 Jeep Cherokee Chief with the 360 and solid axles. That beast was unstoppable! Keep up the good works guys!

[georgeperillo]

I love that square body. It could come in dead last and it would still be # 1 for me.

Old school really is cool! These old trucks just are undeniably cool

[arthurhadley]

I own an 85 Chevy k20 - & 82 k5 blazer with 6.2 diesel. I’ve owned newer. You said you work a lot on you 85 but the thing is you can work on it. As a matter of fact I’m surprised you didn’t have 5 recalls on the Silverado before filming ended. New trucks are space age nice but come with a mound of potential problems & cost. Love your 85 Thanks for the video.

[Thankyou_]

Computer on wheels, yes that is what all new vehicles are nowadays.

[jackwyatt]

I just bought 6 months ago 2002 GMC Sierra. SLT With
Only fifty three thousand miles One owner garage kept pristine condition Beautiful truck inside and out had to pay top dollar for it.But was definitely worth it I will keep it forever. Two tone paint black and gray With
Black interior leather

[billb]

I'll take the 85 all-day love that truck.

[RonnN-gftm]

Big Greens exhaust sound should be a ring tone on my phone... coolest square body truck..still love it
Thanks Steve

[jjpark]

There is something about the classic one that I like it much more

[darrinrebagliati]

2 main reasons to go old. First: you can get any part off the shelf. Second: that part costs 1 tenth of what the same part for the new one does.

Third bonus reason: the old trucks just look like trucks!
