I got 39k trading in my year old Trail Boss edition. Was offered that at two different dealers and it only sat on their lot a few days before it sold.

People may see this as a good value at 42K+.. but to me.. it is overpriced. There is no way, in my mind a midsize truck is worth paying 40K - 48K.

Each to their own.
We are in the world of a $30k Chevy Cruze with sunroof. 42k for a truck that is that capable is a crazy deal in 2017. Obviously in 2003, it would not have been.

Exactly. Any decent vehicle I look at these days is 40k and up.

To put that another way ... something which is better than average tends to cost more than the average.

Never read comments sections on the internet. Everyone seems to insist that their own opinion is right, or thinks they're a comedian, or has an awesome way to earn $1272 per week from home.
