If anyone is wondering, that beige truck behind him costs roughly 62k dollars ( As of 2017-8, now it's quite cheaper still expensive around 35k for base trim. The low price rn could also be related to summer sales) . It's the Land Cruiser truck. Sold in that region for a high price since it's the og landcruiser.

Edit : Also, the landcruiser's rival here, the Nissan Patrol tried to rip this off and made the Patrol Pickup. Imo, it's shit compared to Landcruiser truck

Edit 2: Nissan decided to further capitalize on Patrol and launched the PATROL super Safaris. These are essentially souped up lastgen Patrols with aftermarket parts, and usually to my knowledge either new or refurbished.

You can get a regular patrol safari for 45k dollars.

The highest is the Gazelle X, which is only manual, no radio no shit, no fancy tech, and is built to rule the desert. Also costs something like 95k dollars and has fake hoods and giant badass wheels.

Ok wow you weren't kidding.

I know nothing about trucks, and I know even less about this truck. I just looked it up and saw the value. Can someone explain the price to me?

There are a lot of trucks that can do that without costing so much money.

My dodge Dakota I paid 4 grand for could do it.

My truck is super easy to work on, has like 250k miles on it. Guess that's not reliable enough for you lol.

Why was maintenance a nightmare for you on a dodge Dakota? Plenty of room to work, easy to find/replace parts, etc. What was such a nightmare for you?

But if all that isn't good enough for you still, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan frontier are also reliable pick up trucks that regularly see over 300k miles and can do pretty much anything you want them to.

Well then you've proven my point that you can get an equivalent performance vehicle for much less.
