I wouldn’t pay $40k for the Gladiator, let alone 50k
That’s how I feel about all the Pickups today.
It’s why I bought a “salvage title” truck. Less than ten K for a pretty nice truck. It’s had a lot of problems, but it turns out that is just because it is a silverado. All the problems it has had are common to those trucks.
It’s also why it is the last GM product I will ever own.
My neighbor's new specced out F250 was near $70k.
