Used 4X4 trucks up in price

[Sprite]

Three years ago I paid $6500 for my '06 Sierra extended cab with 150k in almost mind condition. Same truck now is easy 9-12k.

I blame Luke Brian and Blake Shelton for making all the city kids want trucks.

The price of trucks, and the mentality of them buying them can never be explained. My dad got on my case this summer about paying 38,500 for my BRAND NEW with only 12KM on it truck. Told my he only paid 38,000 for his two year old used one with 120,000Km on it. Some how buying a two year old truck with 120,000Km on it for $38,000 makes more sense then me buying a new one for $38,500.

I would say it depends on the make, model and options. Those 'extras', that you 'must' have, sometimes cost as much as the basic truck, if you add them up.

My new truck is a fully loaded Tacoma. My dad's truck is a mid grade ford.

Your dad probably doesn't associate your truck with having more value than his. Despite being worth far more over it's useful life.

I got 5000 plus tax as a trade in for my 05 F150 with 240K KM'S. I was quite happy with that. I may have been able to get 6000-6500 privately but it wasn't worth the hassle to me.

My new F150, and I'm very happy with it! It gets much better mileage than my old 5.4. This one has the 5.0.

Splurged on this hitch, but it will never rust. Everything is aluminum including the locking pins (stainless/aluminum).

And don't forget the yearly yellow sticker inspection just to pull a 5X6 garden trailer, trailer with quads/skidoos, or anything other then a camper or boat. Though I have heard of guys getting harassed well pulling boats. You can't even rent a u-haul trailer in Ontario now without it on a truck that big....

Nah, you don't need safeties for those sized trailers with a half ton.

Your truck can tow 10,000 or more.. so if you are pulling anything other then a camper or boat they can stop and inspect and then ticket you for not having one. You will also NOT be able to drive away till it has been inspected. You would have to have it towed to a shop that does inspection certications.
Hate to tell you but ALL pickup are considered commercial in Ontario.
