Thanks, @WingedHelmet :)

I have no idea what pickup prices look like right now.  I bought in 2018 and that was the last time I was in the market.  That was pre-COVID and everything was much less expensive than it is now.  At the time there wasn't anything drastically different in pricing between the big 3 American manufacturers.  I also can't comment on Toyota, I wasn't looking at them, their interior cabins were not big enough to serve as a family car and their towing capabilities were also not sufficient at that time.

Yesterday, I was checking flights to Vienna.  Basically, in the back, a seat was about $800,  in comfort about $1100, in "Premium Select" about $1800, in Delta One, $6500.

I don't think Delta One is anywhere near worth what you pay for.

2025 Ford F-150 Review, Pricing, and Specs

The F-150 is available with multiple body styles and bed lengths. While the XLT model is a step up from the basic XL work truck, we prefer the additional luxuries on the Lariat. It comes standard with automatic full-time four-wheel drive and the proven 5.0-liter V-8, but the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 is a no-cost option. Though its price may put it out of reach for some buyers, it has the best mix of features and affordability. Note to early shoppers: Ford says the 2025 Platinum Plus will have late availability with full pricing to follow.

Around $60 K.

I'm impressed with how quick these trucks are today.  We already discussed how much they have grown.

Below is the 2025 equivalent to my 2015 model.  F150 platinum, 3.5L twin turbo, FX4 offroad package, sticker price is $75K.  It doesn't appear to have the max towing package which is probably another $2K so all-in, $77K.  The sticker price on mine was around $60K in 2015 and I bought it used in 2018 for $39K.

$77K is real close to the $78K I paid for the Vette
of course I paid full sticker price - might get a $10K discount on the truck sticker

I'm definitely not in the market currently.  I might be in a few years.  But I also might be trading down from our very large family bunkhouse 32' RV trailer, to something much smaller.  I wouldn't mind getting out of the pickup and back into an SUV.

Or maybe we get a motorcoach, tow the Jeep behind it, and I can finally get my 65 Mustang...
