when I totaled my 2010 PU I have been looking for another of about the same year, The new auto dealers will not sell you one. they sell all their trade-ins to wholesellers , that sell them in auctions or whatever else they do with them,,, but not sold on their lot.. I am too old to use up a new truck. and no one wants my leftover.. there are some available ,but by the time they are road worthy I would have the cost of a new truck in them...so what are you all that are in my place doing...? Is the DMV allowing you to keep driving? If you will check your DMV, there is no law against driving while asleep... sleeping is a natural act, not something you smoked..

Just like jerking off, totally legal and natural, as long as there's no internet porn involved.

Looking for something and drove by a small Chevy dealership today, he had 5 new ones out front. Another larger one had 10 or so. The next Ford down the road had a few trucks on the lot. A huge GMC/Toyota/Buick/Hundai, Subaru,Cadillac, etc, etc dealer about 5 miles from me had at least 20 clean used ...Anyone can buy them...One is a 2021 Tundra with 600miles...Platinum @ $55,992 asking. Drove past a couple Dodge dealerships and Rams were plentiful....The Jeep dealers are stocked up like nothing is going on. I guess they would sell you one also.  My closest Chevy lot has only a few used....A friend is a small country Chevy dealer and right now has a few new trucks...all pretty much basic work trucks..Nothing with much of an upgrade....

You have a lot of car lots there.

I was at a shoot and four were 70 miles from home. Three others are within 3-10 miles. My friends dealership is close to 100 from home.

Dealers here have hardly anything.
Everything they get has been ordered by customers.
Theyre selling, just dont have any general sale stuff on their lots.
Bud got a new truck off a lot, but works for manufacturer and got the reg discount. After he got it they supply at that dealership dried up again.
Dunno if any are going full retail or above.
Saw a hauler w new trucks going down the road a couple days ago. Dunno what dealer got em.

If there’s money to be made a dealer isn’t going to wholesale anything unless it’s too old, likely ten years because they don’t want the headache of mechanical issues. Buy from private sellers This. I grew up in a new car/ truck dealership. We aways kept the late model trades for our used car lot. The older trades we wholesaled as they more times than not had mechanical issues or we found they would shortly after the sale to the customer. Once in a while we would keep an older model trade but it was very uncommon. The wholesalers would stop in write us a check and those old trades were someone else's headache. I hated the car business so I went on to other things after college. I did do a five year stint as the Parts and Service Director at one of our family stores in the late 1990’s. That pretty well got the car biz out of my system for good.

I researched and looked but after I looked at my special depreciation write off for my business portion of my use it was better for me to buy a new truck. So I did. I would like a new truck but my 2017 is clean as a new one and 50k on the miles. New tires and no issues so give the current market I am going to drive it another year and take a look next year.

Bigger radius than it seemed at first. 👍 I’m about 20 miles outside of Pittsburgh…. If one would take a 30 mile radius around Pittsburgh….there are at least 50…and I wouldn’t be afraid to bet more.

I wanted a good used pickup last week. Went to Autotrader.com. Looked for a crew cab 4wd with less than 45k miles, 2018 or 2019. A dozen or more popped up near my home. Most all at dealers. I ended up buying the one I felt was the best deal for me. Still some factory warranty left. Even came with a topper, which saved me $1500 or so. I would NEVER shop used cars without checking online first. The savings in time and money is unreal. Best of luck in your search.

Hubert, you'd probably be better off hiring some housewife with a car to take you to WalMart and the pharmacy. She can stop at 7-11 so you can buy your lottery tickets too.
That would be cheaper than buying a new pickup. And Lord knows the public and yourself would be a thousand times safer.

I am probably in better physical than you are, people who meet me don't believe I am as old I am.. so why are you being such an azz ? Is it because of my age?? or my medical condition? My DR and I have my problems in control, so stop being such an azz and help me find a pickup and I can put my Harley Sportster up for the winter,, Yes goat brain I am still riding my Harley, how do you like that chit brain?

I'm focused more on keeping the vehicles I have in good running shape. No way do I want to try to buy anything worth having in this market.
