Honest to goodness!
My truck has the touch screen with all the controls built into it, depending on your ability to navigate the different layers. It's really not that difficult, but takes a bit of lite concentration, concentration probably better used in the actual driving process. The truck also has all the same functions for control of the various systems in a more "old school" form....buttons...knobs...switches etc.

Lets see, punch around on a touch screen getting to a place where I can turn down the volume or drop the temp a few degrees OR reach up and ,pretty much without taking my eyes off the road, rotate a knob or push a button to accomplish the same task......I'm going "old school" every time.........
