If you're making the kind of scratch to afford it, then more power to you. However, many of the baws buying these don't make 80k a year.

I don't understand it either but i guess people just have different priorities.

why do people like spending so much on vehicles?
People spend a lot of time in their vehicles whether it's commuting or shuttling kids around. People also love their creature comforts. In some areas, it's a status symbol.

I'd buy that truck if they throw in that tattoo for free.

Buy it next year for $60K after that dude rolls 60 thousand miles while treating it like it's made of gold...

I have one as a secondary vehicle and drive it to the gym during the week
I used it yesterday for the first time since September 20th to put something in the bed. I like nice cars, trucks, clothes, and guns so that's what I spend my money on.This post was edited on 10/13/17 at 10:08 am

Is it really though?
Just because you could spend $80K on a truck, and some people will, doesn't make it normal.
Get into any thing near a blue collar work place like say the equipment business or spill response and it's a swing dick contest for who can spend the most on a truck

It is objectively pretty stupid to do for most of the population.
Of course, everyone has hobbies so if yours is a car, that's fine, but we know that for 90% of the population these are terrible financial decisions.
As someone stated, sure people are in their cars a lot, but if they didn't spend 80k on a truck they could live closer to work, and so on.

That is insane for a truck. Last year I bought a used 16 Tundra and justified the price because I felt it would last for a ton of miles, but it still sucked.

With nothing down, that’s about $1400 month on a five year note. There just aren’t many people who can afford that while being financially responsible.
I own a C300 and the note is $700/month is already sickening. I would love to drive an AMG but they are going to push $1000/month and I can’t stomach it.
