This is a lucrative market, where the US spends lots of money, I have three neighbors who commute in their "trucks", and they're all stickered over $75,000 with dual moonroofs, leather, power everything, and kept perfectly clean.
However, there are a lot of Merceded-badged Sprinters pulling up to businesses and houses every day and I doubt they're turned away.

A guy at my current employer is retiring a year later so he can pay a huge lump on his truck loan, which is 78,000 for a Ford 350 with all the bells and whistles.
He doesn't allow anyone to put anything in the trunk and he commutes about 150 miles / day in this thing.
Ever heard the expression: " More money than sense " ? But hey, it's his money.
