41K? LMAO. Might be worth the $35K they will be selling for in a year. Might.
I recently kind of halfway looked at replacing my 2000 Silverado 1500 extended cab 8' bed. I paid $27K for that in late-1999, and it was a stripper: rubber floor, steel wheels, crank windows, base stereo, cloth bench, but it had the mechanicals I wanted: 5.3L, 4.10 limited slip rear, skid plates.
I recently found a 2500HD Crew Cab WT locally for $36K. In real dollars, that is less than I paid for my 2000 Silverado 1500 in 1999! It had the 6.0 gas engine, snowplow package, upgraded stereo, spray in liner. Even WORK TRUCKS now have nice interiors with touch screens, power windows/locks/AC, etc. People are so damn spoiled they have to have heated leather, climate control, and 12 speaker stereos in their freaking pickup trucks. The dealer said they couldn't sell a truck that was as "stripped" as that one! Sheesh.
I ended up passing for financial reasons, but I'm sure I'll find another next year. Meanwhile, $41K to START for a mid-sized pickup? No way.
