It's also the cheapest vehicle they sell due to an emission standards loophole.

Well, there is no more cars at some dealers, only SUV and trucks

Why sell a car that's more expensive to manufacture?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I think it's more because of the margin, say manuf a car for 30k and sell it 32k, compared to manuf a truck for 40k and sell it 60k+...

I live in a suburbia and there is a couple of lifted F250 trucks that are only used to go to Costco, which haven't tow anything (no hitch anyway), and never saw a grain of dust anyway.
