Several listed at over $59,000 after rebate,but the one for $99,958 about made me swallow my cud. You'd have to have a need to have that thing on the road 24/7 365 to justify a price like that.
A heavy 1/2 ton SLE GMC Crew Cab 5.3L 4X4 with the 7,600lb gross and 10,000lb tow rating is reasonable enough at $47,000 plus 13% tax iirc. Enough capacity for even "real farmers" and should last 10-15yrs in the salt if washed underneath and oiled. Costs less to drive than a diesel too.
The entire family will fit inside or groceries and tools can go on the back set to be safe and dry.
Compare that to your paycheck and the gas hog trucks in 1975 that rusted through in 3-4 years.
