Profit on Pickup Trucks

[CKN]

I can answer the question with pretty good accuracy regarding the GM large SUV's made at the plant I just recently retired from. A Tahoe/Yukon will average 10-12k profit per truck. A Denali is approx 13-14k and an Escalade is right about 15-18k+

Does anybody have material facts about the actual costs? I respect your knowledge as an insider-but unless there is a spread sheet floating around....

I get your point; SUVs have become very popular. But I think your numbers are off; the COVID years are outliers.
I think you are proving my point. Honda Toyota can sell sedans; what's wrong with their competition?

GM, Ford, (maybe Stellantis?) make and sell plenty of sedans, they just don't offer for sale sedans in the US. The Chevrolet Malibu would be an exception here. You aren't seeing Malibu's on the dealers lots because they are mostly sold in transit or are only on the dealers lots for a few days. Same with Chevrolet Trax, which is really a small station wagon mislabeled as a small SUV.
