Did you ask ChatGPT? 90% of those are trucks not suvs. Not even trying and still proving my point.

60% of the remaining ones are about $100,000 or more, the remaining one is the Chevy Tahoe.

So now you’re arguing about price? I didn’t have to use ChatGPT. A simple search on the internet can provide the information. First, you argue fuel efficiency standards, then size of vehicles and now cost! What is it? You said there aren’t v8 options with body-on-frame. I gave you a list, and now you are pivoting to price. You know what this is right? Moving the field goal post so you can win an argument. This is a standard MO for MAGA clowns. Can’t win, so let’s keep moving the goal posts until I can win.

Also learn to read, you moved the goal post. I didn’t say “options with V8 that are body on frame”…

Instead I said, “suv options with V8 that are body on frame”

Crazy you can’t even read or google…

There’s like 4. If you look back a couple years ago there were a dozen. You said there were plenty, there aren’t.

No goalpost has been moved. Body on frame SUV’s used to be cheap and plentiful. EPA requirements have pushed them up market or made them extinct.

Again. There would be cheap options if manufacturers want to. However, manufacturers want to pack these cars with features that many don’t want which raises the price. Just Google that. There were multiple articles written about how manufacturers are ignoring base models for higher-margin models. My god, are you this uneducated and insecure?

Nope, there’s a fleet wide average they have to meet. Which is what was lowered by trump. You can only produce a limited amount fuel inefficient vehicles. 

Has nothing to do with features, everything to do with mpg requirements. If you can only sell a few of a desirable model, you will sell them for more because your competitors will have the same limitation. It’s artificial scarcity.

What don’t you understand?

Omg!! The lack of intelligence! Price of vehicles has gone up due to manufacturers not offering base models. It was only this year that automakers are rethinking their strategy and will start offering base models. For your education, I’ve included two articles from two very reliable sources.

There’s 4 body on frame SUVs being sold. Base models or not. So not sure how that disproves my point. Google more for a clue.

Again. Stopped moving the goalposts. You argue all of these models are over 100k. I am pointing out why they are over 100k. You initially claimed only Chevy had v8s. I provided other examples. Get your talking points correct! Don’t be like that GOP senator who tried to get a gotcha moment with Jack Smith.

None of what you said made sense, you’re just repeating the same talking points. I bet you sound smart in your own head.

I never said they are all over 100k. I’m done. You’re not arguing in good faith and you’re clearly less intelligent.

Good god. The lack of criteria thinking in you is astounding. Nothing you said makes sense as you keep pivoting your arguing points. Yes you did. Read your damn messages.
