At what point did the price of trucks go from expensive to batshite insane?

I stopped at All-Star Chevrolet at lunch just to look at replacing my current truck. A 2016 Silverado Crew Cab 4X4 with a decent package (cloth, towing package, 20" wheels) is $43,000 AFTER all rebates and incentives. The sticker is $50,600. I left and appreciated my paid-off 2010 a little more.

It's all cars but trucks do seem to have gotten really ridiculous

A good buddy of mine paid like $69k or something for a fully loaded brand new Tahoe.
I saw his paperwork in the passenger seat and almost puked.

When they realized people would pay for it. The "luxury" truck market is lucrative right now.

Yep. I was given a ford XLT loaner with cloth and it had a sticker of like 52k.

My buddy bought a loaded GMC 4x4 for $40k out the door. They are stupid expensive, but you can shop some significantly better deals than that.

Went thru that sticker shock about 1 1/2 months ago. Screw that shite.

I'm guessing low interest rates have something to do with it. Actual cost with interest probably hasn't changed that much, you're just seeing more of it on the sticker.

I don't understand why or how so many people are willing to pay $50k for a truck. Even with 6 year loans and loan interest, frick that.

When they got 4 doors, touch screens, power everything, 300+ HP, leather, etc...

Do you see a problem when people pay 50k + for a car?

From my understanding if you are paying sticker than you are a sucker.
If you are paying like 35k for a 50k sticker than you did pretty good.
Ill just buy the used one with 15k miles for like 30k.

Take advantage of depreciation. Buy used

This cannot be painted with a broad brush. Every type of car and truck is different. Used markets are different. Dealerships are different. Cost of living (regional price hikes) are different.

Hell, they still want 35K for a two old truck with 50K miles.

The answer is when women started driving them more......then they started being more luxurious.

IF that car isn't moving into "elite" territory? yes

If you really want to see some stupid shite, take a look at the Tahoes and Suburbans while you are looking
