Almost all the trucks across every ones lineup are loaded out now.
60.70,80k is not in a lot of people budget for a truck.

This is SPOT ON! For 2/3s of the price of a new "truck" I'm running this entire setup. Sure, the 2500 doesn't have heated seats, lane departure warning, backup cameras or any other amenities that allow 5ft tall soccer moms to squeeze into the closest parking spaces at Costco but it's still VERY comfortable and more than capable of meeting my requirements. And when I'm at the track with the hood up the 8.1L gets nearly as much attention as the LS3 in my C5 Z. Yeah, it only gets 8 to 10 mpg but I'm happy to increase my carbon footprint whenever I get the opportunity.
