    I generally don't get too involved in these topics. I do though wonder if there is any real list price difference between a Class 8 Truck assembled in Mexico and the US?

    I suspect the list price is the same. The profit margin between the two is another matter.

    That would mean they get 15$ per hour in benefits.
