Who can afford a new pickup?!!!
It would be great to buy a new pickup, (around these parts trucks have 18 wheels and are meant to do serious hauling), but who in their right mind is going to spend 30,000 plus on a glorified car! These new "trucks" rarely haul more than a case of beer any more and don't see a muddy road. So you can just keep them. I'll keep driving my 1991 F-150 six banger.
(Venting because can't afford new pickup and jealous of those who can) Happy trails.

I'm kinda like you, I'm not paying $30,000 for any vehicle. I wouldn't pay that for a Lincoln, Caddy, Etc. Guess I'm lucky cause trucks especially don't cost that much here. In the San Antonio Express-News, which covers the area where I live, there are listed many 2003 NEW trucks around the $20,000 area. One dealer has 03 Sc, 4.2,XLT for $18,895, also a Texas Supercrew for $21,995, and Rangers with V-6's,auto,SC Edge for 13,995. And those are pretty much representative of the pricing around here. But when it gets to $30,000-I'm out.

yo,
If I had a few more bucks (like $20k.) I'd go for this one here in NJ:
2003 F-150 Regular Cab 4X2 Styleside 8' - XL
4.2L EFI V6 / 4-Spd Auto w/ O/D
Ext: Arizona Beige Met / Int: Med Parchment
VIN: 2FTRF17243CA10837 - See Vehicle Details
Total MSRP: $20,850.00
Total Invoice: $18,777.00
...
less:
3,000 Customer Cash Back
and a dealer discount of about $1k.
My son bought his 97 F 150 4x4 from this dealer and they don't add on uc, pin stripes, or extra clerical and detailing "fees".

I bought mine new in Feb.2002 Some might argue that it is not e "real" truck because it is a Ranger but it does all I need it to. I originally financed it for 4 years but, I sent the final payment in in December 2002. The purchase price was just over $9000.00
Granted it can't tow or carry a hell of a lot but it works for me.

Who can afford a new pickup?!!!
I figured I would take my big purchases one at a time. I live on my parents property so I have very low rent. Bought my four wheeler then my truck then my fiver. Next is a house, in a few years when I pay off the truck and trailer. I have no girl freind and no kids at this point. That is the only reson I can afford a brand new truck.
well 11 hours a day at work helps to pay the bills too.

hey man, rangers are good little work trucks
mine has impressed me the last few months while i'm helping my pa build two cabins and a house on his new land.
25 cynder blocks and 500 pounds of concrete is pretty good for the low end ranger i got =) that and where the buildsite is a Fseries wouldnt fit. there are two very large trees that brush my mirrors when i get back there
