I got some buddies who constantly get brand new $60-80k pickups always making payments. These Guys use em like Minivans to cart kids around. No reason they need a truck like that other than "look at me". Then they bitch about gas prices and taxes Its funny that you think a pick up truck qualifies as a look at me vehicle. Are they leaving them stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not base model trucks man. If its a Lariat or a LTZ etc they come blinged out as you know. If its what they want go for it but $80k mall crawler pickups for desk jockeys I just find funny.

An XLT actually has heated seats and power pedals and tailgate step. You gotta get out more. I see more Platinums than anything. Limited is the top dog, but alot of people dont like the white interiors. King ranch has gone down a step. Its on the same level as the Lariat Ultimate. Its crazy the options these trucks have now. You can actually have a payload scale and it also controls your headlight aim. Cameras on the top of the tailgate for when its down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of options nice atereo etcZ That was my point I feel like XLT is mid level . A Lariat Ultimate then is pretty fucking blinged out is what I was referring too. At least you tow with yours.

But a loaded pickup has everything a Esky has you know this. Same thing man. Difference is a Escalade makes more sense for a family hauler than a diesel F350 .
