The very premium Vaselene that the sales guy uses must be figured into that price:laughing:

Yes, it's sad that they are strapping themselves with debt on a rapidly depreciating asset. I would hate to know how much one of those trucks would depreciate in a year.

That's using your head. A friend of my son's came down one day in something like the trucks mentioned, jokingly said it cost as more than my tractor, which is my highest $$ vehicle & i told him i can sell it today for what i paid for it 5 years ago, think i hurt his feelings.

Here is a link to a dealer with several $$$ trucks for saleFord Inventory Search - Murfreesboro Ford Dealership - tags=Tuscany
25k in options if you use the 59k base price of an LTZ with the Duramax package and no other options. Still ridiculous.
I bet that 100k F350 dually with the off road shocks is great fun wheeling on the switchbacks.

I'm sorry, but is this some sort of a joke?
I can see one of these type trucks as a gimmick to get people to stop in, but he has 16 of them! Either a group of people won powerball last month, or the economy MUST be booming in TN. With the country in $20 Trillion debt, and the average american family unable to come up with $1,000 emergency money for a broken tooth or AC failure, I simply cannot fathom how this kind of money gets spent on a play truck unless one is exorbitantly wealthy.
How many of those trucks are paid for with a check? I bet most are financed for 10 years...
Don't get me wrong - I love nice trucks too and would enjoy owning one of those if I could afford it, but unless I can buy a vehicle pretty much with cash, it is not a vehicle for me. In my opinion, only homes and some business loans are worthwhile debt instruments. I had a car note while younger, but have worked hard, saved, and now transacted without debt for most of my adult life. We don't live like kings, but I sleep well at night. Needs and wants - If we figure that out, life gets easier in my opinion. For me I try to, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without..."
Peace all! (And if anyone wants to buy me one of those trucks with all their spare cash, please feel free.) I'll turn around and sell it and invest the money.

They both look useless to me. If you want offroad, buy a Jeep, lifted trucks are a BIG waste of money, in my mind. The only thing they do is lift headlights so high as to become a hazard to other drivers getting blinded by them. I bet those trucks have those stupid blue light headlights as well.
Maybe add some LED lights so folks can watch the driveshaft spin :duh:

I don't like the trucks that are lifted and pavement queens like the ones in the start of this thread but saying a lifted truck is useless is just wrong.
Power Wagon on Golden Crack 2 11 - YouTube
The power wagon in the vid is pretty close to stock. I think he's running 35s instead of the stock 33s but stock besides that. A power wagon has 2" lift from the factory and is designed to rock crawl. They are a very very capable off road rig. Yes a jeep is better but the power wagon is far from useless. And this is what it looks like at work. I'm running 35s too and Thuren control arms but stock other than that.
