Man it’s ridiculous, I manage the some of the outfitting of new trucks in our fleet. Both service bodies and flatbeds. We are in the low $50K’s just for XL’s, and WT’s, the Ram tradesman’s are $10K on average more than the Ford and GM stuff. That’s just the pickup not including all the stuff we add to it like bed swaps, pumps, compressors etc. These are extra cab long bed Fords and crew cab long and short GM’s. The crew short Chevy Customs and XLT extended cab long beds that our supervisors get are starting high $50K’s-low $60K’s.
Most of these similar trucks were high $30K’s to low $40k’s 5 years ago.
