    Assuming these are being built in sunny Mexico instead of pricey North Carolina.

    They can't be expected to pay for a wall with no means of income. I guess that means we still end up paying for 'The Wall'.

    Yep, it's just a cosmetic upgrade to a very reliable and proven platform. There is a reason the crapcadia is the truck you see most often, that reason is reliability and cost effectiveness.

    Why blow your money on a chrome hammer when an buck cheaper one drives the nails the same.

    Was surprised to see it on the yard, was thinking they were not going into production till Jan 1. Saw a proitype being hauled on a RGN in Arkanas the other day. Painted almost a pastel blue , with a black grill.

    I saw a Crete cascadia the other day while driving through Lincoln. I was also surprised as I was told by my local freightliner dealer that they couldn't even start ordering them till about January.
