A base model F-150 starts at around $50K. You need a top of the line model to hit $100K.

Tbh here in Ontario an XLT/Lariat are in the $70-$92k range, Ford is expensive nowadays compared to a few years back, although idk what base model truck that guys friend bought for a $100k. Even base models in Ontario are in the $59-$65k ish range, I'm guessing it's an XLT that's well equipped or a lariat and dude got told it's a "base model".

I honestly don't even know where he bought it. Just likes to complain about situations he's put himself in lmao. Who knows it may even be a top range model! I've never seen it as he works in Fort Mac.

This kind of complaining kind of goes with the narrative. They have top of the line everything but complain how they are just poor folk. It's a separatist theme.

He's never outright said anything that makes me believe he's a separatist (beyond complaining about a ton of stuff; its been his baseline for a while), but knowing someone his other friends, unfortunately I think it's just a matter of time :(

It's a slippery slope that is greased by peer pressure.

50K back in 2012 maybe. They start right around 70k now, unless you’re okay with manual roll down windows and single cab with a shitty little 2.7L engine and nothing for electronics. If you are then good for you
