Seriously, though, I'm not a huge fan of trucks but I have friends who swear up and down that pickups are a gift from god and they'll be practically drooling at the sight of this new pickup. I personally see no use in it, nor do I see any reason in paying that much for a pickup truck even if you like them, but I used to live in a city where a pickup truck was literally used as a status symbol and people who drove the newest, biggest, and loudest were the ones who people would gawk at like deer in headlights as they drove around. I'd usually ignore them but be annoyed as, in this city, those people were literally given permission to drive like idiots and blast their music up loud. People like me, annoyed by their presence, were told we're just "jealous". No, we just don't wanna die.

Don't get me wrong, looks very nice and all and I do like the interior to a degree. Just not my style, as I prefer regular full ole sedans, and I can't see any use in paying that much, but I think we all know at least one person who either will buy this truck or has stated they would if they could because 'logic'.
I guess the most interesting thing here is the insistence that a college education should cost $94,000.

In small low priced trucks, a niche of less than 100,000 is highly unlikely to pay off even the engineering cost to tool up a factory.

Well Ford thinks so and that’s all that’s matter.
