new truck cost!!

Today, I spied a brand new Ford F-150 Eco Boost 4 door for sale at Costco. The MSRP was $56,000. WOW! I didn't realize the costs had risen that much since I shopped in 2010. I can picture myself in my Mexican built Ram for many, many more years. I had no idea that aluminuium/alunimium/ er, beer can bodies cost so much.
O.K. I'm going to stand aside so I don't get injured by Ford owners.

    I would think my 05 Ram Cummins with 84K miles is worth what I paid for it in 2007.
    Yes, I'm done with new vehicles!! Since modern lubricants or what ever is making gas engines last 200K miles now I would believe there are some really good late model "high mileage" vehicles out there for cheap.

    Prices of used will get your attention too. I'm looking for the smaller version Toyota (or equal) pickup for my Grandson. I thought $9K+ would get something decent?...well, double that and I can bicker with the best of em!

    :) Hi, I guess if you can't afford a new Ford truck, you can justify it by calling it "beer Cans". Maybe your Dodge, is made out of Tin Cans, if that makes you feel any better. :R

    Makes me glad I bought my 12 Ram 2500 CC LB ST 4x4 CTD for $36,000 and change. Even if it likes to regen and make me change my oil 3x a year while only getting 17mpg @70mph on the freeway. It's better than buying a new one.

    My two friends dropped 80k on a diesel. I bought my 07 LBZ - 2013 powerlite 19 Toy Hauler and my 2014 Polaris 800 4 seater for 67k combined. The price of a new truck is crazy. We bought our fully loaded Tahoe 2007 for 40k. My wife mentioned getting a new one. Now fully loaded it's like 60k.

    While at the Ford dealer getting LOF on my pickup I wandered around and looked at the new rigs. You are right - WOW!!! The highest I saw was MSRP on a loaded F-350 @ $86,000!

    That's 5X what I paid for our first house!
