   Stephen I am from the old school and recall when a new work pickup was
   less than 3000.00. The new trucks are just modified car or wagons.Some
   of the crap they put on is nice but not a necessity in my opinion.

   Sorry to reply to my own message but since I still had the page open I
   just
   priced out a truck. Chevy 2500HD Work Truck with 6 liter gas engine,
   automatic transmission, snowplow package, trailer tow package, bed mat.
   True Market Value (this is from Edmunds dot com, a popular research

   truck
   is $28,000 with the current incentives (it's a 2014 and they need to
   make
   room for the 2015's). That sounds downright CHEAP.
