I hate to even look. Last time I bought a vehicle was my brand new truck that I ordered from the factory at the end of 1999. Paid a whopping $17,500 for it.

Extended warranties are must haves on Fords.

Nice truck Jman.

That's insane! I'm getting ready to get another truck next March. I honestly have no idea what i'm going to do. I'm kicking around the idea of 1/2 ton diesel but just don't know yet

Just bought a 2020 F150 a month or so ago, there's lots of wiggle room in making a deal. The 3/4 ton truck supply is short and they aren't making many deals.

I bought a 2017 gmc sierra in February, out of curiosity I checked the price on the exact truck and its 6k + more now. I only looked cause the dealership kept sending offers to buy it back and put me in a newer truck around the same price

I bought a brand new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 Quad cab Hemi with all the tow stuff in 2009. Lifetime power train warranty as long as I own it. Drove it off the lot for 24,000. Total. It’s got a whopping 75k miles on it now. I think I’ll drive it forever. Or till I die lol. Most of the time the boat is hooked up to it. I guess me having a company vehicle helps too. But seriously the new truck prices are crazy! My wife might need one more new one before it’s over but I think she’s wanting to get out of her Ram crew 4x4 into a SUV. Might save me a little. I hope! Lol

This is the added cost of cheap and easy money. When you can finance $40,000, the auto companies are going to want $40,000. When you can finance $70,000, they want it. Seriously, what would a bank said in 2010 and said you wanted $85,000 for a new pickup.

I also suspect there is some effect from manufacturing effecting supply. I don't know what its like in the city, but there are 3 dealers in small towns within 15 miles of me. They usually have lots packed full of new vehicles. I noticed the other day they were almost empty. where they might have 300-500, there might have been 50-75. Asked a guy and he said they just cant get them. GM seems worse on this than Ford.

Thanks - it's an 01 with tons of new parts and updated OEM Harley Davidson headlights and mirrors from a 2018, I think. Paint and body is being finished by Detroit Customs out your way in Sachse. Still only about half way done - there literally is no interior in it right now. I started this in February in my driveway stripping it and it will probably be done in time for Christmas.

According to a Thursday Reuters report, GM currently makes $17,000 in pre-tax profit on average for every full-size pickup sold (2018). The 2019 Silverado and 2019 Sierra should help that figure climb.

Bilstein's on the rear of my wife's F150 was the first thing I did to it when we bought it.

I just traded in my 2018 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Hemi (engine was knocking bad and truck smelled like smoke from previous owner) and got $5k more than I paid in January. Bought a 2019 Silverado 2500 LT 4x4 Duramax with 37k miles for $42k. Didn't feel too bad about that. $14k OTD difference.

Used truck prices are nuts. New truck prices have been fairly stable for the last 4-5 years.

That appears to be a great price..looking at those and the Ram 2018-2019 and cant come close to that

Looks good.I got an 01 and dont think I could wait that long for paint
