    That's because of lack of supply. There are a ton of trucks around the nation now that are down waiting on nox sensors. Couple that with the the recent plant shutdowns, so no new trucks. Couple that with lack of parts to fix trucks. Every time I go by a dealer, there are few to no new trucks in stock! So what little trucks they have to sell are going to be high dollar. Sad state of affairs. Makes you wonder what the megas are going to do. Hard to replace a fleet of trucks...when there are no trucks.

    That's awesome. I've owned more than a few trucks, never a new one though. I doubt I ever will either. Since they got rid of gliders, it isn't in the cards for me.

    Yeah. I know it's all part of demand. That's why pre emissions and pre eld trucks pull the money they do.

    Yeah. Problem with that is, very few can own them. Which is OK with me....lol
    It's going to be interesting to see where all this goes and I don't think it's going to be good. I think alot of folks are going to go out and buy a pre-eld trucks just to have a spare.
