The cost of vehicles has not been keeping up with inflation. It is much easier to buy a new 75k truck now than it was to dish out 30k for a new diesel crew cab 4x4 in '93. On top of that you get a much more capable truck now than what was being built in 93.
What you actually get is a much more complex vehicle with more stuff to fail down the road, less fuel mileage (diesel) and lowest cost components.
My 97 is stone simple and I can do all the repairs in the driveway that need to be done. When that new truck is out of warranty, be prepared for a wallet emptying experience.
