Don’t blame the engineers. They do a helluva job making the stuff the government and management and bean counters tell them to make work as good as it does.

The only worry I have with new cars is all the computer stuff, so you get the longest warranty

too bad they can't design a RELIABLE engine ! Get RID of the VVT and other hitech nonsense...make a GOOD engine..
..then get rid of the 2 extra doors on a pickup it's now 2-3 ' shorter ! ), trash the 4WD, toss out the automatic tranny, don't install 4-5 computers that control 'stuff' NOT needed, get rid of heated AND A/C seats,6 or 7 airbags........ probably  another 200-500#s of stuff NOT needed which more than makes up for the MPG.
Hmm..if you need a station wagon to haul the kids around, buy a station wagon AKA a van.

FYI my '97 F150 has done me just fine and I can toss $1,000 into it every year from now until the cows come home and I'm much further ahead  than buying a new POS 'pickup'.
Had I known 20 years ago I was keeping it, I'd have oil sprayed it every year or two. OK, I bought a southern box and drivers door for it,2 years ago, hopefully installed this summer. Yup $2K for the pair...so I'm 'on budget'.
NO fancy computers, NO 4WD, 2 doors and it'll haul 7000# of ponypoop as required.
to each,their own, but while I've got 5 decades design/build computers...I hate to see the repair cost to 'fix' new rides.
