Do you think with the rise in fuel, that it will flood the market with used pickups ???

There is an adequate market out there now, and I would not expect much of a change. Mostly, people tend to get rid of toys they do not need, a pickup is kinda required to move a 5er or TT.

Pickups are also used by many folks as their everyday vehicle. The mileage difference between a P/U and a standard sized car is negligible so I would not expect there to be any changes in the P/U market due to the price of fuel. Now, if you want to talk MDT that could be different.

Here in Southern California, the rise in fuel prices over the past 4 or 5 years have taken toll on larger pickups. You used to see a lot of 250/2500 and quite a few 350/3500 with quite a few Navigators and Suburbans running around. Now it's SUVs, Crossovers and 150/1500 Pickups.
Not one dealer in our town has an F350 or 3500 (Dodge or GM) new for sale. Not even the work truck type.
I haven't seen a used 350/3500 on any lot or in the newspaper/online in the area for at least 3 years.
I do see a lot of 250/2500 and large numbers of 150/1500 pickups on lots and online ads.
