OK, prices go up. My father bought a 69 Mustang Mach 1 for under $4k and a house for $15k in an 1969. My 2013 Harley Breakout was more than my parent's house + that Mustang (in 1969). Then again, my salary now would have been extremely rare in 1969 as well. Prices of all commodities have gone up, along with taxes, utilities, etc. The traditional trades of old hardly cut it anymore. I would love to be a barber and shoot the crap all day, can't afford to, so I do what I do now, lol. I'll be a barber when I retire.

Don't understand the negativity and discontent about those buying new trucks from those that cannot afford them. The prices of everything has gone up, not just trucks. It's simple, you do not buy what you cannot afford. If a person is making the same or similar to what he or she was making 20 years ago, then yes your buying power has been limited. The house next door has been foreclosed twice and both times it was people biting off more than they could chew. I spoke to the last couple and their response was "if you can live here, why can't we" If that isn't a sense of entitlement, I do not know what is.
