I recently saw an article that claimed several manufacturers are going back to knobs because the touchscreens are not intuitive enough to use without concentrating on them.
I like knobs.
And levers - give me back my 2WD to 4WD mechanical linkage shifting.

When I switched from my 2002 GMC 2500 SLT gasser with all the electronic switching to my 2006 Chev 3500 LBZ, I went from switches to levers. I thought I wouldn't like it. Turns out I do. KISS works well.

Our last two new trucks are both base trim: hand crank windows, no touch screen, no navigation system. I write down the road number/name in sequence with the direction (N, S, E, or W) and have never made a wrong turn. I love paper and yes, I stop to look in the atlas. The dash compass is nice. Now, if I could only teach my wife to read a map....
But do you stop and ask for directions?
