the tech in these things marches on so quickly that even something just a few years newer feels like you jumped in a spaceship, so this is a hell of a jump from your last one.

I had that thought. On the other side of that, I'd rather roll up to a customers place in this than a rusty beater.

Your last truck was hardly a rusty beater.
