Unlike with a family car, which you may change every 2-5 years, a company will generally buy a pickup either new or nearly new, then just run it until it doesn't go any more... it's only being used to haul stuff around, there's no upgrade requirement: it either runs or doesn't, and by the time it doesn't it's usually scrap.
This means there aren't many running high mileage trucks up for sale. Combine this with good demand for used trucks (because they're useful enough that at $3000, everyone would just get one) and the price goes up.
In short: lots of people want a truck, and nobody sells theirs once they have it. Low supply and high demand pushes prices up.
I am a bit lost with your answer. donaldbren is asking for ideas on how to monetize Reddit.
