It just boggles my mind how a 5-7 y/o truck with 100k on the odo is 2/3-3/4 the price of a new one. My truck was 10 years old with 150k on it when it got totaled out and insurance appraised it at 56% of what I paid for it.
A car of similar mileage and age is going to be 1/3-1/4 new. My wife's latest car was 2 years old with 11k on the odo, got it for slighly under 2/3 of new cost. Her previous car was ~7 y/o with 62k on the odo and less 1/4 the price of new.
Unless you can find a super clean low mileage truck at a great price, IMHO used trucks just don't pencil out.
My '07 2500 Cummins is basically worth what I paid for it 8 years ago and I've got a handful of people that would buy it in a heart beat. I put less than 5 thousand annually on it and it basically doesn't see any winter roads so it looks like new.
F'ing crazy what a new ones are priced at
