It seems all brand new cars and trucks have even more bells and whistles than ever before (like turning off at every stop), and thus more things that can or will fail or malfunction. Things the average person will have to seek a dealer (or private shop) to fix, repair or replace. Add to this, the prices are through the roof (like virtually everything else).
My 2017 Dodge truck (bought as dealer demo with only 600 miles on it in 2018) was $26K out the door (sticker was $37.5K). It is not overly complex, and I know how to use the things I need, and ignore the things I don't need.
My salesman was a combat vet from the Middle East and I was a non combat vet of the Middle East, and he bent over backwards to give me every deal, discount, bargain (even a break for having USAA insurance) he could. Which was entirely different from my previous car dealer salesman experiences (to say the least).
Only my 2d new vehicle ever (though the wife got one also), I see this purchase as very fortuitous, and with any luck, the last vehicle I will ever buy.
I do like looking at new and classic cars and trucks, and talking about them, but I'm never buying one again.
Unless I win the lottery, which would be tough since I never buy a ticket. The best description I ever heard about any lottery was....
Lotteries are tax on the stupid. 
Easy and fun to drive, better mileage than you'd think, pretty peppy with the Pentastar V6 (285HP), and like a one man apartment on wheels. And yeah, I'm a Mopar fan.
