Adaptive Cruise Control? BLIS? I don't need nor do I want that crap on my trucks. Thats what I have eyes and a head for...I can turn my head to see if theres a vehicle beside me...which is what more people should start doing.

You obviously have never owned a truck with these options!

I'm sure enjoying my '17 ram 1500 Crew Hemi.
1. Doesn't shake/vibrate.
2. Doesn't have any transmission issues (smooth shifts - 8spd).
3. Plenty of power V8. don't need no stinking direct injection or turbos.
22mpg average.
4. Interior is just as roomy and comfortable as Ford or Chevy.
I could have went to the BIG HORN trim level for more technology and convenience features.
For now, can find no other reason to ever go back to Ford.

My current trucks have some of these features, and I spend 10-12 hrs a day driving a ford explorer with blis that I find useless...in traffic the light is forever going off and any driver with half a brain will turn his head to shoulder check.
I do not have ACC and I don't want it, I don't want my vehicle reacting when I should have already reacted. I also hate traction control and I turn it off almost all the time in Winter when I get into my truck.
I personally believe these so called "safety" features provide a false sense of security to many drivers who simply lack the necessary skills to safely operate a motor vehicle.

They can't breathe with only 2 valves, so I disagree. Here is a thread I posted sometime ago, and you can see the advantage 4 valves/cylinder, and DOHC has over 2 valves/cylinder, and pushrods:

NASCAR penalizes Ford and Toyota, by not allowing 4 valves/cylinder, DOHC, because chevy doesn't have a 4 valves/cylinder, DOHC V-8. Matter of fact, Toyota doesn't have a 2 valve/cylinder, pushrod production V-8, and designed and built one just for NASCAR:
