The days of the average or just above average income customer buying a new higher end pickup/full size SUV have been over for quite a while. Prices went up (even before COVID) way beyond the income increases. I imagine the OEM's will offer interest rate reductions as a way to move what cant move on its own. I doubt there are many buying a 100K pickup and borrowing all of it. You need to bring at least 50K into the deal to get a monthly payment that wouldn't make you vomit each month (at least for me).

My daughter ordered a new Bronco coming up two years ago and we still haven't got a production date. Maybe if you order a new Super Duty today you'll have your 350k miles on the '12 by the time the new one shows up.:)
Guess it depends on what you order. Both very small ford dealers in the Murphy NC area have 4 Bronco sports on their lots. 2 with 1.5 Lt and 2 with 2 Lt engines.

Dealer markups seem to have gone away around here. With the vehicles I see starting to pile up on the dealer's lots I expect to see some serious discounts soon.

Hard to believe that trucks have doubled in price since I bought my 2014 .
Trucks have not doubled since 2014, or even 2004 for that matter.
LOL. Have you shopped trucks lately? Prices may have not doubled since 2014 (not far off, but they have more than doubled since 2004.
My 2003 RAM 3500 Laramie (top trip at the time) was $35000. A comparable 2023 is around $90,000, with top trim levels above $100k.
My 2003 2500HD listed at $53,000CAD when I bought it new. The same truck (not diesel) similarly equipped now lists at $84,872CAD. That isn't even in the neighborhood of double the price.
Wow that 2003 seems too high? I don't have anything exactly comparable but we bought a new 2004 Ram Laramie 4x4 crew cab diesel for $39,000 CAD.
