Who the hell can afford $30K to $50K for a new truck?
My 1997 Ford F-150 still works well enough.
I hopefully have bought my last new one for many,many years. It was 33k for a 16 Tacoma 4wd with a 6 speed manual.
I love it, don’t get me wrong but I hope to have one of my old jeeps back to roadworthy status by the end of the year.
Parts are murder these days. It goes double for jeep and triple for Willys.
I plan to the replacement windshield frame and glass in next week. After that, lift kit on order and budget to send it off for a few jobs that me in a carport can’t quite accommdate.

We’ve been looking at trucks for our new family car but they’re too damn expensive, even for a non-leather 4x4 crew cab. $35k for a basic 4x4 is too much! Let’s not even talk about the big SUVs, which start at $45k. These ridiculous prices are why we’re driving our current cars till the wheels fall off...the problem is that we need at least one rig that can do 1,500 round trip miles twice a year.
Used trucks in the mid $20k range have 80,000 miles on them.

Concur..1995 F-150. Bought new for $16,000. Still runs like new and will last longer than I will..
I still drive a ‘95 F-150 but if you are talking fifty grand and below you are speaking of the low end of the market in full size pickups. Of course the low end trucks now are gussied up beyond the imaginings of my youth.
