I guess we'll have to agree to disagree Ryan. That last number alone on your chart is what I have the issue with. Pulling from your very own data, top of the line 4x4 in 99 was 40k (adjusted)...today it's 65k. There's no truck bubble there. That's 25k in cold hard cash, hell if 25k is imaginary to you, I'll take all the imaginary money you have. I doubt the median US income went up 5k over that same span. While I'm not saying bottom barrel trucks increased that much, at best I'd bet they stayed in line with the median income.
Edit...sure you can chalk up the price increases to technology and inflation...I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing, where's the ceiling on the fact that truck prices are increasing higher and faster than income. That's really the only argument I've had this entire time. If people don't have the money to be able to afford your trucks...how are you gonna sell any? Unless of course, they are trying to be selective in their buyers to provide a sense of elitism.
