People are still driving land yachts from the 70's?

No, they're driving modern urban assault vehicles though.

I use, for my business, a 1986 GMC 3500. It's two wheel drive, manual, rust free due to maintenance and every bit as long as these "bro dozers" but apparently I shouldn't be able to park at my suppliers. I was previously using a 8900lb gvw 2500, but I feel like Chevrolet overstated the load rating back then to avoid emissions or something, if you actually try put the 1.5 tons claimed in, the suspension is no longer suspension.

Well yeah. They run well and are quite comfortable, easy to work on. Most problems can be solved in a day without years of training.
