Agreed. Sure, these trucks look nice, but they are not practical and when you go to trade it in, you're going to lose your a$$. Like I previously stated, the dealer adds $15-30k on top of the MSRP for these upgrades, but after it's driven off of the lot, it isn't even worth MSRP. Dealers do not want these types of trucks being traded in. The buyer's market is a mere fraction of what it is for a stock Silverado, Sierra, etc.. On top of that, modifying a vehicle will never increase it's value. Trust me, I know. You mod for the fun of it, not for foolishly anticipating a bump in value. Hey, to each their own.
These companies do it for the convenience of having a modded truck. It's already done. The consumer doesn't have to buy the parts and do it himself, even though it would be much, much cheaper.
