[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1398489, member: 27852"] I'm just amazed at the progress the "light duty" pickup truck market has made in a very short time. "Half-ton" pickup trucks now a days have a payload of 1500 pounds (3/4 ton). They can be equipped to tow the kinds of loads that, 15 years ago, would take a 1-ton truck or even a medium duty truck. And they will gladly tow that load up hill, up the boat ramp, in extreme temperatures (low and high), and more. The ride quality from the chassis is incredible. New trucks ride like full sized cars. And all the while, when driven reasonably maturely, they will now offer the owner fuel mileage that rivals medium sized cars of 20 years ago. But this does come at a cost. The 2003 Chevrolet 1500 that I bought new for $19,900.00 and still own, in comparable trim (relatively speaking) today, would cost $30,000.00. Which of course is why I'm still driving old Betsy......
