Even a Sierra Denali with the Denali Ultimate package doesn't reach $80k. You have to start checking a bunch of random options to get the price to creep to that point.

I will guarantee to have a Sierra outfitted with enough gadgets to be called a Denali it will be the highest gas powered priced truck out there. I’m a dealer expediter and see many of these new vehicles on the insides and let me tell you, I don’t see the value. Then again where I live you can buy a very nice house for a price of a new truck. I priced out my GMC Yukon Denali to see about replacing it. It was just south of $86k

If you want value, look at something more basic.

Looks like GMC will offer their off road package as the X31 Off Road trim instead of Z71 with the new generation truck, per the ordering guide.

Current Sierra Denali starts at 54 grand msrp. The new version should also come in under 60k. By the way...the 2019 RAM Limited also starts at 54 grand, and the F150 platinum is likely up there as well.

Well I guess I’m just too old. My last new truck I bought is my current 01 Silverado which is completely loaded and I spent less than $20k out the door. Also back several years ago I was watching a program where a GM exec was talking about their products and he said something that felt sort of odd. He said GM will be adjusting their pricing upwards to align to premium brands like Mercedes, Acura, RangeRover and the like. That about made choke on my spit! I thought to myself why don’t they make a quality product that actually competes with premium brands? Raising pricing to match premium brands doesn’t mean it’s suddenly worth the increased price

Same as customizing a car, to make it suit the individual.

Couple things wrong with your argument: You're comparing 2001 pricing with 2019 pricing and you aren't factoring in the fact that most of these trucks can be had with deep discounts already, so your out the door price is usually nowhere near the MSRP.

Yep. My parents were complaining about how the new Suburbans cost $60K while their 2002 Suburban was $40K. Well throw 2001 $40K in an inflation calculator, it comes out to roughly $60K in todays money.

Yeah well, when their pay doesnt increase by the same inflation rate and most likely dropped like most middle income folks, 60K is alot more than just a rise in inflation. Many people keep lossing more an more in their wallets every year because their pay stays the same or doesnt keep up with inflation. This makes a 60k truck look crazy, which it is no matter how you slice it.
