I agree the money has been shockingly and discouragingly devalued. My father was appalled in the early 90s when I paid over $20,000 for a new truck, because the last loaded truck he bought was about half that. Having said that, there’s no good explanation for GM discontinuing fairly basic, well-loved, features like 12 volt outlets, accessory switches, retractable engine compartment light, and a decent stereo. The aggregate cost of those features is probably much less than $200 per truck, and that’s in fully-inflated dollars.Money has devalued so much. $100,000 or close is for a basic truck considering I paid $126k for mine off the lot. To see an upgrade you at least need to get something like G-Class for somewhere under $200k; below are just the interior features. Skys the limit if you need more, a million may not be enough, perhaps three may get you a few more features but a few may still be missing.
