You want a V8, air suspension and 10 speed auto - you're paying $100k.

    I don't want air ride and I don't want 10 speed auto. My father got a 2020 F350 with a 10 speed auto and it turned itself to gravel. It's a POS that I'm hounding him to sell once it's payed off. Who the fuck thought a press on timing gear was a good idea?

    My father is a boomer and can be shamed into vanity purchases. That's who's speeding 100k on trucks.

    I do not understand buying a truck unless you need to haul shit for work. As a passenger vehicle, trucks are idiotic.
