Well, only if they insist on buying new. Like your Forerunner, our Suburban 4x4 Z71 was $50,000 new (OK, $49,997.28 per the sticker) but because we bought it 7 years old with 75,000 miles on it, we paid less than $11,000. All told, in the almost 8 years and 90,000 miles of ownership, we've spent less than $1,000 on non-maintenance repair.
Other than the fact that someone has to buy them new so there is eventually a used one to buy, I see absolutely no reason to purchase an SUV/CUV/etc new.
