This is why I salivate over Icon4x4 vintage car rebuilds. Check any video the owner posts on YouTube. All of the tech is state of the art analog stuff. It's the definition of "dumb and absolutely perfectly crafted."
You might not remember it but back in the heyday of those old trucks people were flipping and rolling them on the freeway all the time--there are conditions and speeds that they just plain are not safe to drive, and a lot of that comes from their inherent design which Icon can't fix.
(In the mid/small size there's some unibody options like the Honda Ridgeline but that's nothing new. It's just a different type of vehicle, not something that's obsoleted a traditional truck.)
Coils on all four corners and I'm sure some better engineering helps quite a bit.
