Trucks went from 40k to 70k in recent memory.

  Truck sales have been in freefall for a while too. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/trucks-tanking-americas-appetite-for-pickups-dropping/ https://www.motorbiscuit.com/trucks-tanking-americas-appetit... In general, consumers have been extraordinarily willing to spend more than they would otherwise. Consumers were especially forgiving during the early days of the pandemic. People were highly stressed and desperate for familiar comforts. They were even willing to go into debt to get them. Companies weren't blamed for supply chain issues that caused higher prices. More recently "inflation" has been the excuse companies use to drive up prices while deflecting blame, but with so many companies making record profits and consumers getting squeezed from all directions I think people are starting to rightly feel like they're being screwed over. I don't expect consumer's acceptance of higher prices to last.

    You wouldn’t know around here.. mega trucks everywhere. But maybe they are all 2020 or later models.
