It's a free market economy. Trucks are priced according to what we're willing to pay. It has nothing to do with the cost of labor or COLA. And I have nothing against profits. And we have enough in savings to buy several new trucks cash if we're so inclined. I simply don't see $65k worth of truck in any pickup truck. $30k for a bare bones truck is crazy. My first '95 2500HD Cummins powered Laramie was $24,400. Now a Prius costs that much. Why? Because we pay it. We have no discipline.
Ever looked into how a Prius works? That is cool. A diesel electric hybrid would be the bomb!
