I'm told that this is why I can't find a truck to buy right now. Dealers can get the half ton models but most lots have only one or two 3/4 tons, if they have one at all.

Some of the lots I have visited are half empty.

I've observed this problem for decades now in long-lived industrial electronic systems.
