4x4 trucks have indeed gone from affordable (and farm/ranch) to luxury. Thinking of luxury, I should have compromised my finances by buying a new Land Rover D90 in Portland, late 90s. Could have sold for "new" price. Then again, when living in Portland, an aging Geo Prizm (a rebranded Toy Corolla built in California) was perfect for not attracting attention, or thieves who preyed on Toyotas. I'd been with BLM range management in the Wyoming Bighorn Basin.
