100 % agree...my last NEW purchase was a 2005 FX4 loaded crew cab etc etc $31,500...today that truck is 47,500...today .at 47 yrs old for some reason I have a different perspective on what truck I need ...so I went to my local GMC / Chevy dealer during the March incentive month...yes I started with the crew cabs V8's loaded you know the one's and I literally for the first time in my life got sticker shock , now I understand 50-75K dollar vehicles you know caddies, BMW's, lexus etc etc but I never envisioned 50K for a pick-up truck excluding dualies with diesels..so you can imagine I was ready to walk away and go look at the used market. But as I was walking away I checked out the Reg. cab, V6 sierra WT which had a convenience pkg, and towing pkg. and a few other odds and ends stickered 29,680K and during the sale was down to 25,600K. after test drive and some online researching I went for it 285 HP, 7000lb tow cap cruise nice radio etc etc ...as Hootbro said this truck is light years ahead of anything remotely considered a W/T 5-10 years ago ..to be honest after driving it for the last two weeks I wouldn't even consider it a W/T ... just my .02
