In recent years, the cost of delivering new vehicles to the U.S. has been steadily rising, particularly for buyers of full-size pickups and SUVs from Ford and General Motors.
Now, it has emerged that these two major automakers have increased the destination charge for their full-size SUVs and pickups to up to $2,795 for shipments from factories to dealerships.
This detail matters because it highlights that Cadillac, which is part of General Motors, charges an even higher fee for the Escalade, at $2,895.
For comparison, Ram and Toyota take less for delivering their vehicles in the U.S., but not by much. The Ram 1500's destination charge is $2,595, while Toyota charges $2,095 for factory delivery of the Tundra.
