I don't understand what all of the hoopla is about. Someone obviously "just loved" the truck and wanted it bad enough to pay that much money for it.
It's kinda hard to explain sometimes, some people will think a certain car or truck is just the neatest thing since slice bread, while others just don't see it the same way. People just have different "tastes" in what they think is cool. For some, it might be a $20,000 paint job slammed on the ground with a set of 20's and a 6.0 under the hood. For others, it might be a low-mileage dead stock factory original truck that has been beautifully preserved. Then it seems, that everyone else is somewhere in the middle.
For what it's worth, I happen to like the truck as it is.
