That's taking into account farm purchases though, which have a unique shape of "a new truck at any price" in good years zeroing out profits.

I think median, agriculture-excluded would be more representative.

Granted, that's still pushed up by loaded in-town trophy trucks without a spot of mud on them.

I think what you're saying is there's likely a significant number of "cheapest possible truck" purchases in this data that means the median price is actually _higher_ than the average - the median is dragged down by cheap farm trucks. Given that this $65k figure already excludes luxury trucks, that might be the case.
