Think inflation/ gas/ groceries bad? Try pricing used pickups!!

The prices of UTVs are insane as well....I've been wanting to buy a new Honda Pioneer 1000 but nowadays they're sold before they show up at the dealership. My name was put on a list and about a month later the dealer called to let me know that a base model 1000, which used to be in the $10-12K range, was available for $25K.

That Cummins is heavy up there guys, plus a pickup has never had any weight in the bed unless YOU put it there!! I lived in the sticks of rural Mo. 37 years, never had a 4 x 4 but I put 400 lbs in the bed every winter. Been stuck a couple times. Yea a 4 x 4 would not have made it either.
Go figure??
The hills of Missouri are full of steep rocky driveways that a 2 wheel drive truck with an empty bed couldn't climb. I remember trying to make it up one such driveway in a 4X4 Cummins. It just spun the tires and kicked rocks in 2WD. No problem at all with it in 4WD and having the heavy Cummins up front.
