Your complaining about that costing 96,000. Over here this rig is listed at 108,000 second hand....

Except that one US $$ is equal to 1.4 Australian $$...still $77k seems maybe a bit steep for that, used.

Sorry, the deal breaker is the manual hubs.

Does Holden or Ford make an Aussie equivalent to a US pickup truck? I see the Holden Colorado and Ford Ranger, but they are not in the class of the Chevy/Ford/Dodge 2500 or 3500 US pickups. They would be considered a small truck here in the US.

No the only 'big' trucks we have are US imports. Nissan Patrol or Toyota Landcruiser are our biggest.

That truck is 65K. It has additional dealer markup and a few cosmetics from them that are taking it to 96K. I'd find a different dealer.

$65k is a good price on an f-350. I've seen f-250's in the 65-67k range, so for the same price you can get a lot more truck. I hate how my dealers order loaded up trucks!

Had the owner of a dealership tell me his dad who owned it before that when a new truck went over $2000.00 that he wouldn't ever be able to sell one!

$96k is more than both my first AND second property purchase, both were/are rental properties, with a total of 5 livable homes. (Small and somewhat run-down, but livable/rentable)

Nice looking truck, but waaaaaaaaaay outta my range.

96k is more than my first two home and my duplex in the SF Bay Area.

I bought a black 1990 F150 with black wheels last week for $600.
I would much rather work out of my truck than that beast. Mine pulls
the zero turn mower just fine.
