that's not what most truck owners say, but maybe they're coping hard. The second technicality here would be vehicle safety, but these vehicles are obviously more dangerous, so maybe they should be or are more expensive to insure than the average vehicle because of that.
obviously, but this is discounting the native American auto manufacturing which the US generally has a massive boner for, both it's people and the government, people still buy euro cars, but unless they manufactured domestically like subaru for example, they're going to be more expensive.
this specifically is the companies wanting to sell more larger trucks with more features, as it makes them a bigger margin. There's a massive slog in new vehicle purchases at the moment as they car market is normalizing post covid. It's possible they'll pick up later, it's possible they won't it's hard to tell.
