    Son, trust me on this....you just turned 18 ! You will change your mind probably 5 times in the next 2-3 years as you get a little older and gain some maturity. Today. it's dental school, 6 months from now ? Who knows.....What if you meet the love of your life ? And bang out a kid, or 2 by age 24 ? My, oh my, how stuff happens, right ? Anyway, luck to ya'

    I am able to find these trucks for like 80k (maybe 87k counting for inflation by 2030) which I should be able to pay full since I will be living with my parents.

    Why did they drop Plymouth?

    Who knows what the future brings with companies managed just to make and only money.

    You do know that the UAW told them to either pay up or else they won't be making much, they want a 40% wage hike which will make this junk they make cost even more.
