Have I got sticker shock!!!
Prices have doubled since I bought my last truck in 2001.
I'm mainly shopping Ford F250 and Dodge D2500 both in 4WD.
I like the looks of this one (used but new is easily converted):

We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...
Pickup trucks went from affordable work vehicles to overpriced Cadillac wannabees with leather interior, fancy trim, stereo that could be used in a concert hall, and a million other things that don't help hauling a load of cut trees out of the back 40.
Exactly! They use be affordable but not now! They have gotten to big and way over priced!
Buy It Cheap!
Stack It Deep!

My last new F350 was $36,500, a F150 is over $40,000 today... My truck would cost nearly $70, 000 today....

Steer clear of a new Dodge. Their reliability has gone to hell since Chrysler was bought out by Fiat.

There are some things I will not abide within my sight!
I won't buy any UAW made vehicle. If I were in the market for a truck, it would probably be a Nissan Titan if only out of principle.
If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.
12 string guitars only have 6 extra strings, but they're 85 TIMES as likely to be used in a song about wizards.
I like big 'bots and I cannot lie...
I got the model from Bandai.
What are Toyotas going for these days?

Buy used.
Trying to get on the no fly list, one post at a time.
Paid 5 g's for my 98 Suburban. I'm gonna run it until it catches fire.
That is what I thought about my old 2001 F350, BUT I take clients out to lunch and drive it daily WAY out of town... I must have something nice and reliable...

New?
Tacoma "starts" at 18K
Tundra about 22K
Realistically though, most are 32-38K
See, isn't it nice to know you can still get a nice truck for under 40 grand?
I feel your sticker shock. I have a 2001 Tundra purchased in Dec. 2000. I can't believe what they are stickerd for now. I know I'll never own another new one at those prices.
If you can do without all the do-dads, look for a fleet truck.
Yeah I also remember when they used to throw away jeeps also.

I am constantly being told to be quiet.

Funny this thread came up. I was reading an article just the other day stating the average person can not afford the average new vehicle cost (around $33K). That being said I bought my 2000 Dodge Dakota 2WD Sport club cab 2 years old (certified pre owned) with about 44K miles on it back in 2002 for $11,500, new was almost $23K. I still have her with just about 180K miles on her, she's been a good truck never let me down and always got the job done. That being said she shows her age but I keep her well maintained and I have no payments. Still runs and drives like a top.
