Well, I sold my '03 Mazda Tribute ES AWD (got decent mileage), and bought a 2008 F250 4x4 CrewCab V10 Lariat.

A) I got a good deal
B) I have wanted one for a long time
C) It will be in our family forever, as it can do anything I will ever need a truck to do
D) I completely love it, and it drives much smaller than it is
E) I drive very little, so the fuel economy is not an issue

I got a good price for my Mazda (sold it to the first guy that looked at it), and a good price on my new truck. It was a win/win situation.

That said, our local dealership was having a hard time on trucks for a couple of months. They got a bunch of work trucks in, and those have been selling well. The others picked back up last month also. There will always be a need for trucks.............. and it will always be a huge market. No, there will not be as many "driveway" trucks sold.............. and with the way that many people drive, this is a good thing.

People still love trucks. I know I love mine.
