I can only compare it to my 2018 F150. Compared to that the GM seats are way better. You asked me this question and I can't even think about how I feel when I sit in the GM, so I'm taking that to mean that they're good. Whereas in my 2018 Ford, the seats always felt uncomfortable especially on long drives. My 2014 F150 had better seats than my 2018 F150.

Although I'm tempted to try out the new full reclining seats in the Fords. It'd come in handy on those days where I'm getting off work and need to grab a quick snooze before the long drive.

Right now the dollar is very strong against international currencies...check the rate against Canadian dollar, Euro, Yen etc so it's not all doom.
It's not ripping people off to charge market price, that buyers are willing and able to pay, for what is in essence a luxury item (brand new truck/SUV/EV/whatever)

It is the definition of price gouging. It is exploitative, period. We will have to agree to disagree.

No. Mine was within the factory range. That truck is rated at 21mpg on the highway...so my 20mpg with heavier wheels/tires was spot on. Your 6.2 is rated at 19mpg average on the highway. Your hand calculated must have been coasting down some mountains.....lol. Anyway...yours is pretty close to factory rating. His 5.3 was not doing the mileage he states. Approximately 28mpg from that truck is nonsense....unless he had the baby Duramax in there that he was unaware of.

This was my best gas mileage on a 2019 Cheyenne RST. On a 400-mile range, my best was 28.4 mpg. I know because I drove from Mexicali to Hermosillo and I followed the speed limits which ranged from 80 km/h to 100 km/h, the highway federales were everywhere. That's 50 mph to 62 mph. Absolutely no city miles in it.

Charging market price is the definition of a market economy

You can disagree but the only way to have something in stock at the price you want is to convince everybody else it's worth less than they are willing to pay at present

Don't like it, bring back socialism and have the government set prices so that nothing is available to buy at all and be happy

That's not market pricing it's price gouging. Dealers adding $10 grand to the MSRP because they are in a dominant position of having a product in limited supply with high demand is price gouging. In your line of thinking, when baby formula was recalled and extremely hard to find it was perfectly fine if stores that had it added an extra $300 to the price. That's price gouging and what dealers are doing is no different.
