The prices are ridiculous, they're high because people are somehow willingly paying those prices, and I don't blame a business for making money but it's not justified and reasonable.

I have to agree, truck prices are insane these days. I don't see what new great feature justifies the high cost. Look at how much truck prices have gone up in the last ten years compared to wages. Oh that's right, wages have actually gone down. There will be a breaking point even for businesses. I know I stretch my fleet longer than ever. You have to sell a lot of air conditioners to pay for a $65,000 service truck for each guy.
Oh, I love the fact that my LBZ Duramax service trucks don't require piss juice like that great new feature on my 2011 and ups do. I know I know, that's the governments fault. Either way the cost is out of hand.
