The post-COVID market shocked a lot of manufacturers (but not Nissan, that's ridiculous) . With ADMs, flipping and a used market on fire, they realized they were leaving tons of money on the table, so they increased MSRPs in an attempt to recapture that juice. There are a lot of cases where it will not be sustainable and will very likely come back to bite the manufacturers in the ass, but that day is probably at least a few years out.
We just ordered a new kid-hauler and the MSRP will be approximately 40% higher than it was on a like-for-like model 5 years ago... ####ing bananas.
