The pricing is increasing 3 to 4 times that of inflation over the past 30 years. I have a F-150 Lariat Diesel, F250 7.3 sudo Lightning, and a f350 7.3 and Diesel FX4 all priced out they way I like. The F-150 and F-250 are within a couple hundred dollars of each other, the F350 has me in the early $60 area.
I have had a few new F-150's and a couple 3/4 tons that were not a crippling strain to make payments on but the last one was a 2005 duelly that it was close a few times. I haven't had a truck payment since the duelly and I have done though 2 inherited trucks and I am driving the farm parts runner (The Ranger) until it dies or somebody makes a serious offer I can't refuse on it. For a new truck I have a hard time wrapping my head around a price tag that is a couple thousand more than what I bought my first house for 35 years ago.
Exactly... I built my first house, a few years back (LoL), for half the money of a new F150, it's too bad the GREED has infiltrated EVERYTHING.
Good Luck on your next one, mine will be the Ranger until it dies, either with or without the new frame idea.
