(2,050 posts)At it, the suggested price isn't really high and although it is kinda fugly I don't buy trucks based on what they look like, I buy them for what they can do for me.
Remember those Dodge "Daytona" pickups with the huge wing from about 2005?
I looked at some and the sticker was above $70,000, for a truck, that obviously wasn't built to use as a truck, the average selling price used for that truck was at $25,000 only ten years later
There are people who buy a truck to be seen, not to actually use as a truck, I'm not one of those, I like the Honda Ridgline from a few years back, the only problem I saw was that just like the Tesla you can't haul a sheet of plywood and put up the tailgate, the tesla has a 6.5 foot bed length
I won't be buying a truck anytime soon, my 1991 Dodge diesel has 108,000 miles at almost 29 years old, they have a service life of 400-500,000 miles, I think it'll last for a bit longer
Out in the Garage is my 1928 Model "AR" one ton flatbed, it can still haul plywood or a garbage can easily, just at 35 mph though
I like the tesla though and if we can get away from fossil fuels someday it'd be in my driveway, fugly or not.
