In Texas trucks get that S-Class treatment.
luxury car brands losing marketshare to big 3 VOL. trucks

Trucks are so ugly to me except the raptor. I drove a silverado once and it felt like I was driving the titanic.

Agreed, raptors are everywhere and they’re 70k+ pick ups
Love the new wrangler but 50k+ for a rubicon

With that logic then almost everyone should be buying/driving family vehicles. Mid size suvs or mini vans

He's probably bringing in 6-7K a month after tax and his house is likely paid off.

If you own a home having a truck is clutch as hell.

Wow
So Chad's life consists of nothing but being an investment banker?
What does Chad do for his weekends? Does Chad have any hobbies, side businesses, etc .. Chad works in the city but what if he plays in the country, or by the lake/ocean, or up in the mountains.

I don't even "like" trucks like that and I have a big car but between Home Depot runs/grocery store runs and picking up stuff like furniture I'll own some type of truck or large SUV the rest of my life.
And as far as true cost of ownership a truck retains so much of its value it's crazy.
I bought a 03 Expedition in good shape with only 125K miles a year ago for 3 grand.
I wanted a truck but any truck that runs decent in Texas is going for 4 or 5 grand easy, even a 14 year old one.

I guess. If we’re generous and say $100k a year that could be $6k a month. An $80k car is going to take a serious chunk of that though 2-3k?
And his wife has a BMW?
I hope he can afford it but that doesn’t seem clever to me though.

It aint worth the price tho. Its cool for people that want something out the box but everything can be replicated on diffrent chassis for much less. If your into off roading you already know.

I can’t believe they didn’t put a V8 in the Raptor. Something like that, you shouldn’t be giving a **** about fuel economy.

My pops put in 30 years with the Michigan Department of Corrections.
Between 401K and pension the numbers I put out were in the low range.
Dude's wife probably a decent income too.
My pops and stepmom have no bills or debt outside car payments, home energy, property taxes and food.

Bad logic bro, but I honestly used to think like you... until the snow started making having a car suck.
I told my chick as soon as we get our crib I'm leasing a truck. I like them because I'm tall and I like the space, and I just feel safe in a truck. But, the most important thing living in the northeast is they are clutch for snowy conditions.
Some of the departments at my job got a couple of them and I drove them around and wanted one right away, but the ones at work were like the bare bones work type F150's.

A retired Michigan State trooper probably sitting on a $100k/year pension.. not to mention all the **** he hasn’t been paying for during his tenure, gas, mileage, lunches, etc... he has quite a bit saved, to say the least. Most definitely doable.
