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.
Yes saying double was a bit of an exaggeration , but the increase has been pretty significant in the past few years. I gave 57k for a loaded 2014 3500 Laramie . That same truck today is going for pretty close to 90k , so a 33k increase in 9 years or just over $3500 increase per year . Comparing the increase of what I paid for a 99 Superduty 7.3 XLT bought new in July of 98 for 33k to 57k for the 2014 that’s 24k increase in 16 years or $1500 increase per year .
Ya, but you went from a '98 Ford to 2014 Ram....:)
You have a point . :B- The price of a used has also soared. I have tracked my yearly cost of ownership since I bought my first dually in 2001.This is apples to apples in that each truck had just about all options except the sunroof, and rear entertainment. And it is just the cost of purchasing, not of fuel or maint, tags, etc.
It has stayed constant a 4000.00 a year. So though the intial cost of ownership is high, the cost of staying in an expensive truck is very reasonable, IME. frankwp wrote:

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.Bionic Man wrote:

Looks like a loaded Denali DRW 2 wheel drive tops out over $100k.
I can officially claim "old guy" status...we paid less than that for our first house. 2000sft ranch on 1.5 acres about 15 miles from a midsize city in the midwest. Everything in good condition (aka: not a fixer upper).
Next truck will probably be one of those horrible 6 speed trucks when the current 5 speed gives out but hopefully that's another 4-5yrs.
Ave home price locally is literally x10 of truck price. Drove by a 12 plat home project, sign said from mid $1M range.

That doesn't mean much in Kirkland. We have a house in Bellevue, lets just say a 1Mil house isn't what I think of when I used to think of a 1Mil house. I wouldn't want to pay more than 200-300K for that 1Mil house in Bellevue.
I guess the same can be said about cars, a $100K car used to be a really nice luxury or sports car, now its just a truck to pull your trailer...Bionic Man wrote:

Trucks have not doubled since 2014, or even 2004 for that matter.- They haven’t doubled. More like less than 50% increase in MSRP.
2014 a loaded to the gills diesel dually was maybe hitting $70k usd msrp. Now they’re just over $100k.
