The price of new trucks is insane. Used prices are just as bad, and many want top dollar for a ragged out, abused truck.

Like Seruzawa, I have zero plans for a new truck, will maintain what I already have. Also no EV.

I don't know where you're at, here in HELLINOIS the price of a used truck is pretty damn' close to the price of a new one.

Anything 3-4 years old with under 50k miles is going for about $5-$6k less than new, assuming it's in mint condition.

I've just been through the process.

I kept my old vehicle going as long as I could. Wasn't buying someone elses "junk" used truck and rather than save a few bucks on someone's used truck I went with new.

Paid sticker (no choice) but did manage to get the extended warranty for 50% less than what they were asking. $2,500 for a 7 year/100K bumper to bumper warranty on my new 2023 V6 Toyota Tacoma TRD OffRoad double cab was an acceptable price as far as I was concerned.

Paid cash for it and done. No payments. Already know this is the best damn' vehicle I've ever owned and my first pickup truck. (Also my first NEW vehicle for me only, in almost 40 years.)

The prices are right where they should be. Prove me wrong.
