Why would you buy a brand new truck if you’re “not a truck guy” and only put half an oil change a year worth of miles on it?

Financially that is the best solution. Especially with a declining economy and very inflated truck prices still.
And yes I’m very well aware of prices then (2017) and now.
Heck for 3k miles a year, I’d throttle back to a much older, low miles grampa truck. Any gasser new enough to have a 6 speed (except a Ram with a 66rfe) or any pre tier IV diesel. (But those 2000s diesels bring too much money for what they’re worth).
Edit: My response above was predicated on the assumption that you have some sort of “normal” income. If the cost of a new truck is less than 20% of your annual income, what I said doesn’t apply I suppose.
