It’s certain.

Few can afford $80k for a new truck. Or $50k for a new car.

Eliminate government mandates and you can drop 25% of both.

More savings would come from eliminating all the voodoo the manufacturers put in vehicles now days.

A BASIC Ford half ton should be $50k. Or people will stop buying them.

I would buy a truck with a V8, automatic, AM/FM radio, AC power brakes and steering. And nothing more.

But NOBODY makes that truck anymore.
