    A 2023 T680 Next Gen with a 500 Cummins and 55K miles went at auction today for $183K.

    New truck prices have to be crashing soon. That same truck would cost $225K to build right now for delivery next year.

    I haven’t seen any of the true digital mirrors yet. All the 579’s I’ve seen with small mirrors have the same size blind spot mirror as I have, the top portion of the mirror is where the size difference is.

    Yeah but it's still way overpriced, with the 5% premium to be added on, that will be a $192k truck with 55k miles. It should be a $130k truck at most. Moving in the right direction but still a long way to go, hopefully summer 2023 it's back to pre-pandemic pricing. Pride truck sales used to sell for $260k new, but now they have 6 months no payment and $15k downpayment match specials. I doubt they lowered the price of the truck though, so still a terrible deal.

    The small mirrors are an option and I agree hard to see out of. The taller mirrors are still available to order and I suppose you could swap them.

    New truck prices won’t be affected by the secondary market. New truck prices won’t drop until dealers start having available build slots. There’s starting to be quite a few trucks that show up and can’t be bought by the person that ordered them, but build slots are still full next year for the most part.
