This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I'll likely retrofit something old. Newest I'll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.

My car is probably going to die soon and I'm going to have trouble replacing it with something that actually has physical controls, doesn't have a massive annoying touch screen, doesn't have LED headlights set blinds everybody driving towards me or walking their dogs, isn't a compact crossover bloated to the size of an SUV from 20 years ago, and can fit 8 ft length of raw material in it.

Or rather I'm going to have trouble replacing it with something that I like for a decent price that isn't too old and isn't a van. Not necessarily because vans suck, vans are great. But the good ones are expensive, even used

In complete agreement. I hate crossovers so much.

Have you looked at this wagons or Volvo wagons ? Or just a good old tacoma or tundra long box ?

Not many wagons left. Will probably end up looking at Volvos. Hopefully more reliable than Subaru, and they're actually shaped like wagons.

Was looking at old Rangers/B2000s for a while, but it doesn't make any sense. And I know Tacomas are out of budget lol
