I bet it depreciates faster than he pays it off... at least for the first five years.

Nothing like being upside down until the truck is well used up...

I have a buddy that would do it in a heart beat if he had the money. He would roll up to work cows with the spinners and bumping some extremely profane music... in the right company.

I know if you go to the boat ramps here. Tons of platinums and KR diesels with lights, music, bug wheels and 100K+ boats.

They arent just selling the to farmers and ranchers any more.

Whats funny is some one will have aftermarket inserts that you can put what ever you want on.

Do those trucks and wheels make a person more efficient or just poorer? Enquiring minds....

I will spend on equipment but not so much on trucks.
My daily driver is a 2017
For hauling and pulling the boat i rotate between a 2003 and a 2004 . The 03 the wipers don't work, the 04 the wipers won't shut off. So I watch the weather to determine which one.

In 2021 I bought a 2020 6.7L F350 KR. Love it but I thought I had completely lost my mind for paying $80k ....and that was slightly used (12k miles) but was like new and still had that new car smell. Original budget was $65k but they all drove like crap and smelled like sweat and sh*t. Unreal what they cost now. Been a great truck. 120k miles so far. Have been through three sets of tires, two windshields and one tailgate. Mechanically, it has been flawless with the exception of a couple of software updates that fixed some transmission and engine issues early on. She is still in great shape but only worth about 1/2 what I paid. She is a keeper!

There is 4 assorted trucks parked in my driveway right now. A 2002, 2000, 1997, and a 1994. They all run just fine. They are also all paid for. I see no reason to go spend that kind of money just so I can drive something which is new and fancy.

Only thing that sounds ok about living down south is driving old vehicles and not having them rust away. Here a 2000 daily driver is a rust bucket held together on hopes and dreams. Ha

The thing is... the manufacturing technology and the options that are in a new truck are just exactly the same as, for instance, a new Chevy Trailblazer. And a loaded Trailblazer (or other brand's equivalents) can be had for 30K or less. I bought mine for 23K. So the only real difference is the amount of metal, glass, and plastic compared to a full size vehicle. Have you ever asked yourself what the real differences are in the cost to manufacture and deliver the various models to a dealership? I can guarantee they are no more than 10K apart. But the trucks are easier to sell for higher prices to people with good jobs.
And when you figure in the differences in insurance, taxes, licensing, fuel, maintenance, it's pretty amazing what people are willing to pay for.

I could justify buying trucks with all the bells and whistles when I worked for an O&G company that paid me $1.25 per km, minimum 200km per day. Gonna sit in it all day and it pays for itself you might as well be comfortable.
Now those days are behind me and ranching is my only source of income so the business model changes a bit.

Marketing to bougie lady ranchers

Pretty much the same here.... 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2010 trucks. My suv is a 2013. They were all bought used. I just can't wrap my head around buying a depreciating asset for more than my first house cost!

I've never splurged on a King Ranch but been driving Lariat level for along time now. Keep them 4 or 5 yrs and put 80-90k on them and it typically cost me $2,000-2,500 a year to drive one. I don't think that's too bad.

You don't know what something really cost you until you sell it. I'd bet a $80k 3/4 ton 4 door diesel pickup is one of the cheapest rigs to drive.

The most expensive thing we ever drove was a 2022 GMC Acadia you wanna talk about depreciation. I wanted to throw up when we sold it.

I paid around $66K CAD for my 2017 F350 XLT diesel new. It has about 130,000 km’s on it now. I’m guessing it hasn’t depreciated more than 25 percent in the time I’ve owned it. The problem will be replacing it when the time comes. But I also have a 2016 Duramax High Country 3500 with only 70,000 km’s on it (don’t want to be seen driving a GM product) so I might actually not ever have to buy another truck considering my age (56) and the rate I put miles on. I’d just have to come terms with being seen in a Chevy.

The power of dept. It makes every one feel bullet proof.

Go watch his video on how long they will finance a $100k plus truck now.

When I was gauging the first truck I had was a nicer black 4dr, 4wd, z71 half ton. I got around 80k on it and was going to trade it in. Every one said just get a plain extend cab 4wd and don't spend all that money on a gauging truck.

That plain truck was the most expensive truck I ever owned. The used market for an extended cab at that time was junk. Never again. That's poor people math. Like buying cheap tires. They are never cheap enough to make up for the mileage loss.

Exactly. Replacing it is where it will hurt.
