Are new truck prices attributed to a bubble, or are they here to stay?

Case in point:
2016 GMC Sierra
2500 4x4 diesel
MSRP: $64,300
Where were pickup truck prices 15-20 years ago in relation to other vehicles on the market?
Are we only a few years away from them costing over 80k?

Trucks used to be very basic in the interiors. Now they're fully loaded more so than cars.
Gotta be where the price went up

biggest change is that the ride and amenities in trucks have come so far in that time span that they've become much more of a daily driver option. the expense of these changes + the increased demand = super high prices. it probably is a bubble of some sort but i don't expect a "crash" to the bottom

Is that a base model or what? Why do you need all the bell and whistles?

I think cheap credit has a part to do with it

I think people are over using the idea of a bubble now a days.

After manufacturers noticed their target demo would pay 600 dollars for a cooler, they decided they weren't maxing out potential profits.

That's not a bubble, that is simple supply and demand. There's a adjusted market price now on trucks in really high demand.

pretty sure you can still get a base model dodge ram for not that much these days...and that truck will be a lot better/nicer than the medium-level trucks 15+ years ago

so when tulip prices faced an adjusted market price due to really high demand, that wasn't a bubble?

The MSRP is not really important anymore. I bought a '15 Sierra this year. Rough numbers from memory:
MSRP: $45,000
Advertised discount $39,500
I paid < $33,000

Low interest rates
Bells and whistles
The fact that everyone drives a truck while a lot don't "need" one
High prices.

That was the first vehicle that I bought by myself. 1997 Ford F-150 XL Double cab. Vinyl seats, no carpet, radio but no CD or tape deck, roll down windows. But I did have AC and an automatic transmission. $18K. I loved that truck.
