Guys/Gals,
I am just amazed at what is going on here. I can remember vehicle shopping with my parents years ago, we'd go to the dealerships, get the brochures, "build" our dream vehicles, but (for my family) we'd always get something that was on the lot. I will admit as a senior in high school my father got me a brand new truck ('99 Jalapeno green Ranger) mainly because he figured I'd take his F150, but ever since then I've only drove used vics. I always told myself when I retired from the Navy I would someday buy a new 3500, but never saw this day coming. The odd thing to me is that with the stock system the way it is this year trying to buy a truck off a lot now is a rarity, save for some who don't mind the usual Tradesman or Big Horn that a dealer orders. Every now and then you find some upper models available but, for the most part, these dealers are trying to pull one over on the customer and charge you an arm and a leg.
Shopping for a truck (I'm sure a lot of vehicles are the same way) now has changed. I am happy that everyone here is getting their vehicles, but this just seems out of place. Waiting, hoping, praying for an update. I'm not going to wander into politics, but damn we're in a pickle. I'm just thankful there are a number of you here to reach out to for answers for those of us just starting out this process. Sorry for the rant, just reflecting on what I've been reading for the past 76 pages of post.
Gig 'em!
