    It’s about 5% ?

    sucks , but thanks to Brandon everything is up substantially.
    If you want and need the truck , you gonna have to pay it , if you don’t someone else will happily do so to get the only new truck they can find .

    Be glad it's not KW, they raised prices $40,000, my boss was going to order three trucks next year, they've decided against it

    15k is peanuts. Loads from Wa to NY are 13K and more. Just run two of the loads and call it, y’all nickel and diming a few K? Shoot get a quote on one of your kids braces lately? 15 k is nothing special anymore.

    If the OP is really upset about it then they should just buy the truck and list it on Truckpaper right away and make a nice profit on it.

    Sucks but just gotta eat the bullet and take the write off.

    Might ask em for a free snow broom? Hell I dunno? Some free service extras for the inconvenience maybe.

    A good new snow broom is great though.

    Customer Loyalty taken to a new level. Manufacturer Loyalty to a new Low. I’d seriously rethink my next purchase. Fool Me once....
