Ford These days, the most expensive full-size pickup trucks arguably have more in common with luxury sedans than their half-ton forebears from the 20th century. This is good news for folks who want to daily-drive one of these big machines. Alas, these additional comforts come at a cost. Literally. Brand-new full-size trucks with all the fixings wear price tags akin to bona fide luxury vehicles.
Fortunately, the used-truck market offers an easy way to grab a full-size pickup in a grandiose guise for far less than a new one might set you back.
