Nothin is cheap....
You guys are just rich. Wish I could keep up
I don't know why anyone would pay for a truck if they didn't need one. I buy them out of necessity so they cost what the cost...
Oh c'mon. I drive mine atleast once a week. (30 miles hauling me and my ipod) That is a need right?

I mean with the my ford touch it will control your iPod. Download music play movies and all sorts of other things.... Eff buying a house when you buy a truck that has all the comforts of home!!!
Lol. I buy a truck because I use it. I pull trailers and haul stuff most of the the I'm in it. Doesn't mean I can have a nice one to do that with. Then it's not so bad driving it when your not using it for a truck. Some people think that you have to own a car and a truck because trucks are only meant for work. I guess that means you should own multiple vehicles to save money? Nah. I'm not that way. When I wanna be economical, I get in my 02 supercrew fx4 with a 4.6..... Sips fuel.... Totally paid for!

The average joe with a mortgage, a couple of kids making 80 grand a year can't afford to buy a fancy new 6.7 with a crew cab to cruise around town, IMO, pickup truck manufactures are limiting there audience to people that are going to make money with them plain and simple..
I was think about taking the dive on a 15 until today at work when an old man pulled up in an 06 6.0 king ranch with 465000 miles on it. Completely changed my mind.

Depends on "Joe's" priorities, at 80k a year, he's bringing home roughly 5k a month. He can buy a new Lariat or Platinum on that salary. Even if the wife don't work. Per month he's got:
$1,000.00 to daycare
$1500.00 to mortgage
$100.00 to truck insurance
$1,000.00 to credit card(gas, groceries, misc)
$900.00 to truck payment(that's 50k truck 5-6 years depending on interest rate)
$300.00 to electric bill
$200.00 to gas and water.
Joe is broke now. Unless his kids are too old for daycare, then Joe has an extra grand a month to blow.
I get what you are saying to a point, but at the same time, 80k a year is pretty dam decent money. Now if Joe was only pulling in 50k a year, he better stick with his 300 month truck payment or less.
I think we should start a thread where everyone is assigned another member and we have to tell them how to spend their money................ Just saying
If that 60k truck makes you 150k then its not a big deal. Especially for folks who own their own businesses, if your successful and have a good accountant, that 60k truck is written off as a business expense so while your paying 60k for it, your writing it off at the same time.
