Multiple wives have confirmed.
Edit: that may not be the case in NYC, but it definitely is here.

Then why not an suv? A pickup truck just for driving around, size and safety doesn't make sense

In Texas I'll see huge tracks everywhere but in the major coastal cities ain't no way trucks will be more popular than luxury cars

My question from that is how does a retired cop spend $80k on a car? Was he on the take or is their pension particularly generous?

If it’s anything like firefighters, it’s pretty generous.

Yes, in NYC cops, firefighters they all have really good pensions. How their pensions work is it is a average of their last three years on the job. How they scam the government and us taxpayers is they do a crap load of overtime those last three years so their take home pension is their regular pay or more depending how greedy they are. They get I think like 80% of their pay for the pension depending on how their contracts are.
So say their regular pay is $100,000 when they are set to retire, they will get 80% of that which is $80,000 for the rest of their lives. How they make up for that lost $20,000 is they work extra overtime on their last three years so they would work to earn an average of $125,000 their last three years so their pension pay would be $125,000 - 80% = $100,000 depending on how greedy they are.
A lot of pension jobs are getting cut now though and it's good... look how pensions ran Greece broke. Nobody should be getting paid for doing nothing for the rest of their lives no matter what, and especially not on our taxpayers dime. The only ones I wouldn't mind get somewhat of a pension is our soldiers, but everyone else they are just doing a job just like the rest of us, and I don't care how much they tell you a cops job is dangerous... it's not, their are more fatalities in the construction business. MTA did away with pensions, pensions ran a lot of the airlines broke and they are all trying to get rid of them.

I can only see reliability issues if you run with the v6 options for the trucks. The 5.0 coyote are proving to be tough and the 5.3 in the silverados are practically bulletproof. Ram has been using the 5.7 hemi for decades with no real big issues
.Besides diesel is where its at you may spend more in fuel but youll be able to run 500k miles>

If it's a necessity in your life, well you can make the argument for spending that much.

It’s common in Texas. Lots of your oil executives drive $80k + trucks but the usually also have a ranch out in West Texas. As I’ve said they are a very good investment in Texas.
