I'll give you a hint, well-off people aren't usually buying F350s and Suburbans...it's people who want to seem like they're well off and don't want people to know that they're swimming up shit's creek without goggles on.

I live in an area with more families and fewer retirees so I see endless fleets of Suburbans, Tahoes, Grand Wagoneers and Expeditions all day every day. These all can range from 70-100k. Then tons of dudes driving brand new Sierras (Denali of course), Silverados and F-150s. These are also the same people that complain about how expensive gas is.

They also complain about the cost of their registration. I drive an 01 2500HD with a duramax, and it only cost me $150 a year to register.

My 350 costs $600+\year for registration. Complete waste of money unless you need the capability.

I tow a loaded car trailer several times a month. My 150 a year is a no brainer.
