They are a bit more than $250, but Kowa BDII 6.5x32XD is what lives in my vehicle. Steiner Navigator 7x30 is in another.
Kowa, for its size, is quite remarkable.

I have 2002 model Steiner Predators in my truck. 10x42’s. I don't have much occasion to use them riding around everyday. But they are there in the compartment under the front seat armrest. They are slightly less expensive these days. I think they were $600/700 back then.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

WyCoyote I have the 8x32 ZR's and was very pleased with how well dielectric coatings work on roof binoculars. Up till then I was a big advocate of porros. For my truck- 6x30 Yosemites in a cushy center counsel.

Vortex Talon HD 10x42. Not the best binoculars I have, but more than good enough.

Pentax 8x32. Their pretty rough, that’s why they get to bounce around in the truck. I also won’t be heartbroken if they are stolen.

Some of us might place a bigger value on Truck Binos simply because we use binos daily from the truck.
I live in a place where I use the binos in my truck every day so those are my best binos. I do take a truck gun or 2 in when done driving but clearing all the optics out of the truck each time is a bit much.
Maven 18X56mms with window mount are always in the truck unless I am using them out of the truck.
Vortex 5000HDs and or Zeiss LRF binos are always in the truck, many times both. Swaro HD spotting scope pretty much always in the truck.
I don't have much of a theft issue to deal with in very rural Wyoming so my truck binos/optics choices might be different than those in a more urban environment.
