I'm expecting reasonable deals mid year and in fact looking forward to them as replacing my half-ton truck with a 3/4 is something I am considering... But not at today's prices.
Why a 3/4 ton instead of a full ton? The latter is only a few thousand more, but gives you close to 1000 pounds more payload capacity. Of course, if you are looking to buy used, the 3/4 ton makes sense since there are probably at least ten of those for every 1 ton truck.
Going forward, I have to wonder though how much longer they are going to keep making both as "having a lot of choice" is coming to an end. It seems like they will consolidate to one design going forward.
Also, I drove by the Ford dealership today. There was not a single new or used Super Duty on the lot.
