    I have a friend who lives in Nebraska and runs a hotshot rig. Long story short, he had to replace a 2015 f350 CC dually, with most of the available options, with a 2016. He asked the salesman about a 2017. $77,000 and change. The salesman told him they had a bunch of down payments and orders for those pickups already.

    Are you talking about that GM crossover made in China and imported to US?

    Maybe some higher tariffs would fix these companys going to mexico.. You have to make it expensive for them to go to another country and send their vehicles over.

    In the future I'll buy an old caddy for like 4 000 or less. An early 2000 model. So I can have a car with leather seats.
