Let's hope not. Are people now making the kind of money to afford a $700 -$900 truck payment plus a mortgage. I retired last year and although fairly comfortable financially, could not and would not go into that kind of debt. It's hard wrapping my head around perceived value of these trucks.
I agree, I cannot see how that is justified. The prices SEEM to have increased at a higher rate than people's incomes.
I plan to rebuild and replace practically everything on my Ford as long as possible. It still looks as good as new, drives and rides like it should and is still dependable. Right now it needs nothing, I keep it serviced and garaged with hopes it lasts me as long as I need it to.
