The biggest argument in favor of “tradition” seems to be the presence of physical buttons. So maybe you’d actually prefer a mixture of the traditional and the modern, a screen with physical buttons below it, allowing you to operate the console using your tactile sense alone, without giving up the GPS map and the additional cameras.
Hopefully you don’t do much driving in the dark, the backlight on our new work truck’s console display glows so brightly even with the display “off” that it ruins your night vision.
Modern would be fine if even half a moment of thought went into non-typical situations, but it’s always some stupid oversight like this. Or the 5000k LED dome lights with a visible PWM frequency. Literally painful.
I prefer to drive with old incandescent dash lights dimmed to nearly nothing, yes I live in a very dark area with no lighting and many road hazards. On a moonless night, the area lit by the headlights is literally all you can see. We run extra lightbars, turning lights etc.
More light outside the truck, not inside. That’s my rant
Hah you got it, I used to be a “Chevy guy” when it came to domestic trucks but this was the truck that finally made me say enough, it’s riddled with embarrassing faults and bad design decisions in every system. The Ford truck we also have is an example of new tech that works well and the Chevy just can’t compare.
From what I’ve seen of my in-laws’ Ford vehicles they’re generally pretty good, but I honestly prefer what I’ve seen from the Korean and Japanese manufacturers. They seem to really have the attention to detail down and be far less about spectacle or catering to a type of person I’m not
I’ll take it modern. Thanks.

That sounds like the kind of bonkers oversights I saw on my last Chevy, so it’s not by chance a Chevy work truck is it?

It’s not about traditional vs. modern but what the better solution for the task is. You know why phone usage while driving is not allowed?
