Well said Tom. Especially the very last comment in your post. One should never rest on their laurels, and that goes for the model builders themselves. Today you can build any type of truck, and make it whatever you want, depending on your skill level. We've progressed to the point in this hobby that you don't need to start a project with a complete kit. One can simply build a truck using nothing but aftermarket parts for the chassis, suspension, axles, and transmission. Pick what you like, and leave out what you don't. Take the best of everything offered, stock or aftermarket. All manufactures have their strengths and weaknesses. To say one is better then the rest is relative to the person that says so.
