Now if you account for inflation, using the holy grail 1997 F350 compared to 2019, sure a new top of the line truck is way over a top of the line 97 (applicable to all models and trims), even accounting for inflation.
HOWEVER, the power and features of the old xlt Powerstroke are more akin to a xL base model gasser today. Even though the new truck blows the old one away in tech, features, safety and pretty much everything.
Add all the power and features of a new loaded diesel and it should cost waaay more, because it’s twice the truck!

Or it’s easier to bitsch about how great the olden days were. Sidecars grampa complained that a 1997 pickup cost as much as his farm too!
