Fuel prices are biting lots of folks in the AZZ with pickups. Talking the folks that drive them as a daily vehicle and usually haul nothing.
Drive 50 plus miles per day to work and back. Just to show off a nice pickup.
I expect to see more of them for sale as fuel prices keep increasing.
That is.....IF they can find fuel efficient cars for work and back home.

When this happened under Obama I remember a lot of my insurance clients bought small cars or scooters or motorcycles to "save money on gas."
Yeah. Good call. Your truck is still sitting in your drive and you're making a payment. And insurance.
And your new vehicle, tax, title, license, fees, and insurance...is wayyy more than filling you truck with more expensive gas, idiot.
Do people not own calculators?

My business demands a heavy duty truck that can tow 25k. I will lose more money with an unreliable worn out truck than I'll lose dropping 80k on a new one.
If I didn't need a 1 ton, I would happily drive a half tom pickup. Guys driving around town in a lifted f350 that will never see anything over 7k towing are idiots.
If they were available, I'd buy 2 brand new f350s with utility beds for my workers. Guess I'm an idiot x3. Used trucks just don't pencil right now. 5 years ago they did. My brother just bought an F450 gasser 7.3 with an 11’ flatbed for $42K… also ordered an F550 diesel with a flatbed for $54K. Once you get past the consumer market on the 1 ton trucks, the prices get more bearable.
Intellectual honesty is the most important character trait in human beings.

No because IDIOTS keep paying the high prices. If nobody bought them and the dealers got stuck with them then You'd see the prices come down. Anybody that would pay $70K for a pickup is a moron. What really left me scratching my head is people bragging about how much above MSRP they paid for a new Pickup Truck. For some screwed up reason bragging rights seem to belong to the moron who paid the most over MSRP!

With this rate of inflation gas, food, housing, ect there is no way that there will not be a market adjustment, downturn, colapse, crash, ect. which will in effect flood the market with trucks causing the prices to drop even more.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
