It's easy to be frivolous on someone else's dime.
Correct, That is what manufactures have done, frivolous with the customers wallet.
Which they work hard to infiltrate.
Equipment being built with standard features no one really needs that generate huge
profits later in parts and labor sales. For instance a truck of any kind does not need
power windows, door locks, five power ports, moto mirrors both sides. Sam module operated
interior power or external lighting. Climate controlled cab, key fob start stop I could go on but those items just
to name a few generate huge profits and are not necessary. The buyer has been lulled
into thinking he needs these things.
My favorite item is air disc brakes-the tests were performed by the manufactures then
pandered to federal highway safety and they ok'ed it. Fixing something that's not broke.
Air disc was tried in Europe in the mid 90's. Companies over there swallowed the sales
pitch hook line and sinker. After 5 years it was back to drum brakes. Wabco, Bendix used
many ideas from those designs and touted how great air disc is, it finally is starting to sink
in here that drum brakes work just fine and less cost. But it just had to to tried over here.
