Well sir, several things have improved. Somewhere along the marketing strategy syndrome somebody figured out that the pickup of the old days wouldn't suffice for the "yuppie" culture of the day.
So started a revolution in amenities in the top of the line trucks (with some dribbling down to the "work trucks") that a lot of people buy because of functionality on the weekends (reason for buying the truck in the first place), but also ability to see down the interstate, possibly being above side impacts from sedans, not ruining your knee joints in attempting to enter a car sitting on the ground...BTDT... and on and on) and other creature comforts that are available in up scale sedans.
My 2011 came in at $31k with all the goodies including a little flare, but it was a Chevy LS, not the upper cut. Works just fine for me and I love it. Not the GM of yesteryear by any means.

I figure that at another 13 years for a round number. By then it will be time for me to check out and let someone else "walk the walk".
