Crazy huh???
I deal with $30-60,000 trucks on a regular basis. I would love to have a new truck myself. The issue is not just affording one, but justifying another mortgage payment(or close to it). They are nice to drive, have plenty of niceties(heated and cooled seats, DVD players, fine leather seats, etc.). If you can afford a new one, go for it and enjoy it. I envy you.
For now, I'll just have to enjoy driving other peoples trucks. My '94 F-150, '95 Aerostar, and '00 Ranger with combined mileage over 450,000miles, wont be going anywere anytime soon.
I think about it every now and then. I payed $24,000 for my fully loaded 4x4 Supercab F-150, brand new in January '94. It would be challenging for me to get a base model regular cab for that price now. Thats only 11yrs ago.. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
