Description

The average new pickup truck now costs over $65,000. Turbocharged engines, cylinder deactivation, touchscreens that freeze — and a 72-month payment to go with it. But while everyone's lining up at the dealership, the used market is quietly pricing a generation of 2000s trucks like gold. Because someone figured out they built them different back then. And they were right. In this video I'm ranking the 10 best pickup trucks from the early 2000s that are worth more every year — trucks built before complexity became a feature, and before a car payment started looking like a mortgage.
