The price of new trucks is beyond comprehension!

I think a good plan is, if you are on track with your retirement savings and can afford to buy a new truck then buy a new one and trade it every few years to keep it relatively new, or, If you can’t afford to do that, then buy a 10 year old truck and trade it every few years for a 10 year old one again until you can afford new.... unless you want to buy a new truck, keep it for 20 years then, move into your 3x7 hole in the ground.
