Re: The look
Throughout my life I have never liked the look of new trucks since '73. It takes me about 5 years to start accepting the new look. And when the next new look comes along, I like the prior look even better. The older they get the better they look.
In the end, they're trucks and trucks didn't come to be to make a fashion statement. They came to be for work. If you don't work a truck and you want something stylish, find a car you like. Consumers turning to trucks has turned them into a luxury vehicle segment of their own. It's pretty hard for a small contractor to afford even a basic work truck when their income isn't a guaranteed amount, they have other expenses, and at best their annual income is twice what a new truck costs. That is the ratio mortgage companies look for to finance a house
