Interesting that they have a 23 with that high of a VIN available for sale already???

My truck VIN is PRA36xxx, and is currently on a Union Pacific train. Maybe it’s a customer declined order and they’re swooping to list it for sale ???

Agree that it’s ridiculously priced but if someone is desperate / foolish enough to pay that kind of money I can’t stop them.

I agree but you might as well rail at fuel prices when big oil is making record profits. same result.

Smart people won't buy it, not so smart people will buy it.

I've gone to quite a few camper shows. They always discount them by at least one fourth.
I have purchased a couple by waiting until the very end of the show, writing an UNSIGNED check for what I want to pay, putting it in an envelope with my phone number, handing it to a salesman and then walking off.
They don't want to have to tow it back, sometimes over a 100 miles.

I wonder what the dealer would do with a check for $34000?

YEAH, I agree. Something in the back of my mind screams" price gouging "but it can't be that cause it's voluntary right? But I still remember the 1970's when it was serious matter when things got so overpriced and they were shortages everywhere. I'm not a socialist , but this is crazy times we're in. Hope reality comes back soon.

I searched Fred Beans website and I don’t see any XLs that high.

I mean, that's not an XL. It's a Lariat EB AWD with $7,840 in options. The listed price is a $5k ADM as clearly declared on the dealer's site. It's also a retail order in production right about now so there's a decent chance that the original customer will buy it.

Guess I lived in a different 70's, the one I went through everything was dirt cheap, a new car or pickup was $5000 & fuel was .50 a gallon, a new house was & 35K, my family of 5 could go out to dinner at a supper club for under $30, our small family business was supporting 9 people at one time, today it can't support 2. I agree these are crazy times, I'm never expecting reality again in my lifetime, but things getting a bit better is possible (I hope). At least some of us got a new truck for 25k or less.
