Obviously you haven’t been shopping for late model used trucks recently. In 2017 I bought a 3/4 ton new that was a few grand more than the best deal I could find on a used one. That used one was 4 years old and had 80,000 miles in it with no warranty, plus damage to both bumpers. My insurance bill was cheaper on the new one too. Trade in value on it is currently 3-4 grand MORE than I paid new. Used trucks are crazy these days.


We're in the midst of supply issues. First with COVID creating new vehicle inventory problems. And more recently the chip shortage. Both have driven prices up for some used trucks. There's almost always a deal to be had, if one is quick and has cash in hand.

I hear what you're saying though. It's a tight market.
