Uber expensive pickups...how much of a trend ?

Consumer spending is what drives the economy. When you buy a new truck, you are helping feed the autoworker, the transporter, the salesmen and mechanics at the dealer, and maybe the aftermarket guys if you accessorize. Even if you wait and buy used, you are helping the one you bought it from to keep the cycle going when they go buy a new one. Camping is a great life!
