How dumb is it

From R word to go for it, how stupid is it to drop nearly 70k on a new truck?

I’ve driven an 05 Corolla for 9 years. No issues, cheap as hell to drive. Big hunter, 2 kids and a wife, and have wanted a truck forever. Only debt is my house. Student loans gone. Well on track for retirement and I’m not quite 33. I’ve never dropped that much cash on anything and it gives me chest pain to think about. Would plan to keep it 10+ years. I’m sure there is a wide range of opinions here. It won’t handicap me but fucking A.

Went to the car show in Omaha in 2019 with my wife, and the brand new Ram Cummins Dually was there for $80K. Looked like something Elon Musk drunkenly drew up but was still outrageous.

I would never do it

Yea I’m not sure I can convince my mind that it is ok. Just seems insane.
 
I bought a platinum a couple years ago. Payment sucks ass but don’t regret it one bit.
 
Have new car prices come back to Earth yet? If not I might actually wait until they do. Or just buy a used one. I bought an '18 Silverado with low miles about a year ago and absolutely fucking love it.
 
Spending money like that on a depreciating asset is beyond stupid. Would be better to find something 1/3 if that price and invest the other 2/3rds. But that’s just my conservative accounting position.

Don't spend it on a truck.... Invest it in an ad in my signature. Do that and I will get @HuskerGarrett to throw in some banner ads for you. #Profit

Get a nice used truck. New ones are an impossible waste of money

But if you do, GMC makes the most badass truck at the moment. Go AT4

AT4s are awesome yes. Have a buddy whose gmc dropped a transmission under 100k miles though and his dad’s gmc through a rod at less than 100k miles.
