Trucks are just stupid expensive. Have been for years. #1 boy is interested in the work truck he is using. Company has contracted with decline in oil patch work, so there are many vehicles taking up space. He uses a ten year old crew cab that was formerly supervisor/manager ride, so it is well appointed. Diesel with big miles. Not been thrashed, but also not getting maintained either. The ask is over $20k. Pretty much the same as getting a 15-20 year old smaller PU of the nissan or toyota flavor. US iron is pretty thrashed and still expensive from private or used lot.
