I’m considering buying a truck (to put a small truck camper in), but cannot get over the price. Dozens and dozens of used trucks that cost obscene amounts of money. Lift kits, custom rims, tints, etc. I just cannot imagine how people are affording these things.
On the other hand, the amortized yearly cost of the truck I have is basically nothing. It is not surprising that there was room for the price to go up.
Much of this crap is what also makes them completely unsuitable if not outright useless for genuine truck utility purposes, which reveals that the motivation of those buying these trucks was never to do anything practical with them in the first place, but just to project large menacing presence to other people who have to share the road with rhem.
These aren’t people improving capabilities. They’re only going for a look.
