Seating for 5 will be your second vehicle. Even with two kids you need seating for 6. Dang kids wanting to bring friends.

Sooooo… with fuel prices climbing, when will they start giving trucks away like they did it 2008-2009? Asking for a friend…
I was hoping they would have stated before I got mine. That didn't happen. I'm really shocked the V8 market wasn't and still isn't flooded with vehicles people are dumping because of gas prices.
I honestly don't see anything changing in the near future. Even with the outrageous gas prices the chip shortage is the bigger factor in my opinion. Once they start getting a supply and get an inventory of new trucks they will start to come down. With the limited supply of chips and only filling orders that are current I don't see a change coming anytime soon.
Look around and see what the average mpg is on smaller vehicles. They’re better but not enough too make it worth the while.
I think you touched on what I foresee. Made to order vehicles in the future. The days of having millions of dollars sitting on a lot are over.
My buddy just sent me his comparison of our two trucks in terms of cost to drive with current fuel prices. It's a wash between his diesel with higher MPG over my gasser, both 3/4 tons. Was literally within pennies of one another now that diesel is so high. Cost him $128 to fill up today 
Cost me $85 to fill up Friday, and thats using the $1.00 off with Kroger points
And cost him an extra 10 grand to purchase.My buddy just sent me his comparison of our two trucks in terms of cost to drive with current fuel prices.

And additional oil, more expensive oil filters, fuel filters. . . More expensive to maintain in general. And when they break, they don't break cheap. Stupid emissions stuff almost guaranties you will have dealer addressed repairs in your diesels before 100,000 miles. I'm replacing one of our diesels with a gasser right now. Just need the time to swap the plow, fuel transfer tanks, etc.
She made the decision last night, hold deposit in place for a used '21 Hyundai Palisade with 11K miles.........most un-American vehicle ever in stable
Now to figure out how big of a lift a '13 T&C will take to fit 33's.
Depends on how much you want to cut

Radio keeps freezing and only works with my phone part of the time.
You can't make this shit up. My luck with vehicles is horrible. It is March and I've already got over 2 grand in vehicle repairs.

Buy new! When you buy used, there’s a good chance you’re inheriting someone else’s problems….you know J beats the hell outta his vehicles before trading them in!
