Anyway then you have sales tax and insurance. No way they are worth that much to me.

I priced a 2500 hd for myself with a 6.0 gas engine , (crew cab) -- it had power windows and locks and air and carpet-- but was otherwise pretty based out for a new truck (just IMO) --- dealer was willing to let it go for 25k (see, the gas crunch is both good and bad!) -- list was 34 and change. At some dealerships now, you can buy a Kodiak now for 65 or 70k
I havent seen any regular cab work trucks , except for fords -- but then again, i havent looked too hard either.
I'm holding out (well... saving up that is... ) for a diesel. The extra mileage and resale $ offsets the extra cost for me because i'm a high mileage driver.
A buddy of mine just upped the ante in the daily driver wars with an International CXT
painted in his company colors. I'm trying to compete with vintage steel as my calling card , but i'm afraid most people just wouldnt understand and would simply think i'm a broke hillbilly ---- people are too vain today --- however, a 50 or 60 series body from the 50's or 60's - mounted on a modern chassis, might do what i need
I dunno ---
-- i could go on and on
