$100,000 Dollar Pickup Trucks Coming Soon.

You'll need some serious towing capacity to afford the increasingly luxurious pickups hitting dealerships.

Are luxury pickup prices headed into six-figure range? It certainly looks like it.

With General Motors reportedly considering a Chevrolet Silverado pickup with a price tag of more than $100,000, we're entering a new phase in America's love affair with pickups.

Sure, you can still get a Nissan Frontier midsize for less than $20,000 – in part because it hasn't been redesigned in 14 years. And GM and Fiat Chrysler are competing for market share at the low-end of the spectrum, which could involve discounts.

But if you want a brand-new full-size pickup with all the bells and whistles, the price can easily top $40,000, $50,000, even $60,000.

$100,000 pickup?: Chevy is working on a new Silverado that could be the first one.

The average transaction price for the best-selling vehicle in America, the Ford F-series pickup, was $47,454 in the first quarter.
