I feel your pain but it's hard to compare a loaded latest gen truck vs previous gens. For a long time, the "nicest" trim level in a truck consists of more standard stuff like heated leather seats and fancy wheels. But now they've stuffed in actual expensive technology, stuff that you'd find in a $120+k Lexus LX570 or Range Rover (Canadian dollars).
If you don't want blind spot monitoring, pro trailer backup, 360 cameras, active lane assist, the massive moonroof etc etc you can save a lot of money. The 801A base truck in Canada is actually a mid level package in the US and will come with tons of fancy shit... and then you get all the unique powertrain, body, frame, suspension and resale on top of it.
My $83k 802A crew only skipped hood GFX, beadlocks, orange interior accents, bed divider, bed extender and the carbon accents.
