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

Where do you live if i my ask. Only reason i ask is cause our 2014 custom ETA was 500k back then, but again its nys so it is no surprise how much more we pay lol
