Wow! What an observation!

One thing you can count on at the Campfire is lots of opinions with no experience. This observation is as worthless as the guys that think they need to weigh their powder charges, clean primer pockets, seat primers with a hand primer, anneal cases and all the other ridiculous comments that appear here on a regular basis…

The campfire is basically bacon. 70% fat and salty.

OK guys... point a fella in the direction of a solid and reliable $35k or less 4wd 1/2 ton pick-up that can be bought with cash money this week...

What you want and what is available has nothing to do with the quality of a new pickup. Granted, they are not priced as they were 10 years ago, but show me something that is.

Every generation of truck buyers thought the trucks were too expensive even when they were $4,000.00.

If you don’t want to pay for a new truck, you don’t have to. The automotive industry isn’t going out of business soon, so someone is buying new trucks. Someone has to buy a new truck, so you can buy it used later. If it isn’t working out for you, it isn’t the automotive industry’s fault, it is a consequence of the consumer and how he buys a truck.

If it was easy, every toothless redneck would be driving one, but you can be sure, they are getting their share too…

Got it... $100k truck is the new normal.

So be it...

All you want to do is argue. First you wanted a good used 4x4 for $35,000.00 and Teal found it for you. That wasn’t good enough, now you want new truck for $35,000.00. Make up your mind and land yourself back on earth.

Now you say you have to pay $100,000.00 for a new 1/2 ton truck. What is the matter with you?

I just bought a new (ordered from the factory in 3 months) 2022 Chevy 3500 LT, Duramax diesel with a 10 speed Allison transmission and paid $65,000.00 for it delivered in Bozeman. That is short of the $100,000.00 mark you quoted, enough left over to buy the used truck Teal found for you.

A new 1/2 ton Chevy will be substantially less than what I paid for the 3500 Duramax.

Just what is it you want?
