Not many people want to plunk down $80,000 To $120,000 on a depreciating asset in a Biden economy. Truck privces are just stupid.

Not many private people do but taxes drive a lot of purchases at year end

If you are a sole proprietor your state, fed and Self Employment upper tax bracket may be 50%, so the choice is less debt or drive a new pickup. which is more fun?

A depreciating asset that is guaranteed to come with extreme repair costs. I wouldn’t buy one at this point unless it came with a 10 year bumper to bumper warranty that included ALL routine maintenance except tires.
They have to take the risk out.

Lots of people in my area are driving brand new full size Doible cabs. I have no idea how they afford them.

I got my Ford F150 for $2500. Like me, its older, it’s uglier, but it works like a champ.
