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.

Exactly. The boom/bust cycle of farm profits and subsidies means that in boom years there's a huge financial incentive to sink profits in equipment purchases. New trucks being a frequent target.
