It's all in how you look at it. The Brenderup Baron (has best tack room) 
does cost about $14,000.
But when you figure that
- you can haul any size horse with it
-it needs no brake maintenance
-will never rust, so will never need painting,
-stays coolest inside for horse (does not retain heat like metal trailers)
-comes standard with torsion suspension
-high in safety for horse because the frame is galvanized steel, and the 
composit sides are literally bulletproof, and the fiberglass roof can be 
removed in case of accident
-it is all modular, so a fender, door, side wall, window, etc. can be 
replaced individually if damaged
-holds its value, and can probably be sold after many years of use for near 
original purchase price

And if you purchase a nearly new mid-size SUV for about $10,000 to $16,000 
you would still have a reliable, low-mileage tow/commuter vehicle  - and 
your TOTAL INVESTMENT WOULD STILL BE LESS THAN MANY PEOPLE  PUT INTO THE 
TRUCK.
