You can get a "Regular" Silverado 2500 LT for under $50k.

Looking on FB Marketplace this morning and came across this 2022 GMC Sierra Denali:

i did not say that it had to be new, bruv

i found plenty on autotempest in the 80k range prior to making the post. like i said, that market is in a bubble, too

in a couple years there are going to be some deals on high level cars when people realize they're very upside down

OK so now we're comparing 2014-15 GTRs to 2022 trucks? The GTR actually isn't a good case to make your bubble argument. Prices on those aren't popping until gas cars are outlawed. The original 2009 GTRs started at about 68k. The damn car won't depreciate under 60k because of the low production numbers. It sucks because I want one but not paying that much for such an old car.

They are $80k because idiots buy them

I’ve yet to sit in a new American truck and think “wow this is quality and worth the money”

Dudes line up to drop $50k plus on a truck they don’t need to pull a boat or trailer once a year and the rest of the year drive around with just a dog kennel in the back

the problem isn't the price, it's that people are buying them at these astronomical prices

just out of curiosity, where, exactly?

Go to Carfax or Cars.com

You can buy work trucks for less than 30k. Mid level trip below 45k. The 80k rig has all the trappings of the travel ball lifestyle.

And they'll probably get it from someone who just has to have a Telluride. I passed a Kia dealer a couple weeks ago and counted 12 vehicles on the front lot, 7 Kias, no Tellurides, and 5 assorted used vehicles.

I saw a used 2021 SR5 4Runner for $54,000 yesterday. 12 months ago that was a $36000 vehicle brand new, hell we bought my wife's 2019 TRD Offroad Premium for $40k brand new. I plugged it in a few of those wholesale sites and was offered between $44k-$46k with 36000 miles.

ETA: My brother was one of the few that hit it just right as the pandemic was beginning. He got a 2020 Tundra TSS Package for $39,000. He's a tech at a car dealership and they've offered him $50k for it a few times already.

Trucks have become so ugly and expensive and dumbasses keep buying them. It's only gonna get worse.
