What the fuck made trucks so expensive? I can buy a plane for

>>36178773
>truck
why do you want one?

>>36178773
Do you work in construction? do you need to carry couches everywhere you go?

Why do you need a truck?

>>36178911
To tow my future plane

not op but I also have this question i may at one point join a construction force

dumb fucking hicks made trucks expensive

>>36178773
What plane are you looking at anon?

>>36178911
So I can build a (relatively) cheap camper out of it. I can do this with a used truck, I just want to bitch about the manufacturers

>>36178911
amerifucks need ameritrucks to obscure they americucks

>tfw ford ranger
Shittiest car ever. Shoulda never wasted the money. Wish I had a regular car.

>>36178773
>I can buy a plane for not much more than this
sticker cost of the plane may be cheaper, but I assure you, the plane is more expensive

>>36178773
Why would you even want a new truck? I don't like the direction rednecks took them. I got a 1998 F150 for like $4500 and it's a beauty.

>>36178946
I've lived in the south for decades, and he's right.

>>36178949
I'm not really considering it too seriously, for the same reason I'm not really considering a new truck too seriously.

Demand, cash for clunkers wiping out the bottom end of the market, emissions regulations, americans being too fat to fit in human sized cars, etc.

At least you aren't in the market for tractors.

>>36178773
If you want a cheap truck you need to look at the midsize strippers, or go used.

>>36179156
>New truck is more expensive than 50 year old plane
Hmm really makes you think

>>36179461
When that plane was made it was cheaper than a car of its time

Just get an old cheap truck. It still serves the same purpose of hauling air and insecurity, but at least it'll look like you actually use it for more than that.

A few million people buy trucks every year.
A few thousand people buy planes every year.

Also, Cash for clunkers has driven up the price for used vehicles to the point of absurdity. Safety and emission regulations have also driven up the price of cars as well.

With financing being easier than ordering a pizza, most consumers care about how much a monthly payment is over 90 months rather than how much is being payed in total.

This. My pickup (Hilux), is a fucking trooper. Not the most powerful truck by any stretch of the imagination, but it is indestructible.

>>36179539
not in my region, any one that is remotely decent will be asking like 10k

>>36178773
>I can buy a plane for not much more than this

Maybe in the 1980s, but you can't get a half decent cheapo cessna for less than 70k

Because once dodge released the new Ram in the mid 90's, they became a status symbol rather than a utilitarian device.

I love my 2010 ranger. Then again, you need a truck or SUV to get around in the winter where I live, I would never own a truck if I lived in a city.

Such a sad state of affairs.
