The fact is, most people nowdays have a truck that has replaced the family sedan, but with the ability to go to Home Depot for a few weekend warrior projects. In reality, probably 80% never hitch a heavy trailer on.
The people who RV is a small click as compared to the overall truck buying market. We need our trucks to do certain things that 95% of the population doesn't. I camp now maybe 1-2 times a year and the other 48 weeks out of the year, the camper really gets nowhere near the hitch.
I won't buy the truck because it has a timing belt, but just because something doesn't work for me doesn't mean it's not a viable option for somebody else. Don't be too quick to judge the merits of something if it doesn't pertain to you.
As far as the price EVERYTHING is stupidly expensive, this truck included.
