It's only after '23 or '24 that the F250 had the side-bed steps become standard. We're still talking making a 25 year old truck look 20 years newer here.
My real point is that, compared to taking a '70s car and making it look "modern" circa Y2K, you can now take a 20 year old car, rice it out with LED projector headlights and a carplay head unit, and aside from other carfags as long as your shitbox doesn't have peeling clearcoat people will think it looks new.

I don't do this, I enjoy driving my old shitboxes for the era they were built in. A huge reason Americans even buy new cars, let alone optioned-out crossovers and trucks is because they just want to "keep up with the Joneses". You see this a lot with late model cars, luxury models in particular.
Picrel is a 20 year old Lexus IS with a shitty, Temu-tier facelift that gives it a spindle grille and LED headlights, for instance. Riced out as hell, but your average normie will be impressed by your "expensive" luxury car that looks no more than a few years old in their eyes.
