Automakers spend about the same amount to make a vehicle, whether it’s a crossover or truck or sedan. Yet a full-size pickup truck has an average transaction price of almost $40,000. A large SUV has a transaction price of $58,000 and even a mid-size crossover moves off the dealership at nearly $35,000.
