Seems pretty cheap considering.

New engines are running close to $600k for pretty basic equipment.

Our 600k engine we ordered 2 years ago just got in, 1,000,000 to order the exact same engine this year

We just did specs on an engine. Same exact as what we ordered 4 years ago for 325k, it's now 700k.

We just ordered a commercial cab program truck last month, its already off the line and headed our way. With all of our equipment mounted by the company the final cost was 505k

Are you implying that’s a good price for a commercial cab?

Brand new for what the truck is and the speed of delivery, id say its a pretty fair price. We looked at a similar truck with more bells and whistles the year before and that one was 700k. Why, do you think its too much?

Because up until recently you could get a midline custom cab for that price.

600k 2 years ago got us a custom E1 Engine with alot of ordered features
