2024 Ford F-150 vs Chevy Silverado vs Ram 1500 vs Toyota Tundra Hands on Expert Buyer's Guide! 

"Pricing will be competitive among all the trucks.' Yes, they are all expensive.

Let them sit on the lots until they realize they can't gouge people any longer.

Thanks for the introductions Andre. Just blows my mind at how expensive these trucks keep getting. Guess i will continue buying older trucks. Main street America has been priced out of the market.

40k is about my top dollar for a vehicle and that was before interest rates went to the moon. That’s how much both new trucks I bought in the past cost. Both were pretty well fully loaded. Another buyer priced out of the market due to corporate greed.

Before 2020, you rarely saw people complain about vehicle affordability but now it is becoming more & more common as you see it everywhere now . This should indicate to auto makers that the general buying public is unhappy with their pricing strategies of their products. Most of these products price out a lot of the customers. All it takes is one brave company to build products with affordability in mind as the first priority and when it steals sales like crazy from these greedy OEMs, they will be forced to keep prices reasonable while reducing over engineering their products to justify the higher pricing.

10 k for a bumper extension, winch, parking sensors and camera relocation?! Insane 😂

2024…Heck I’m already priced out of the market for a 2023 😬

Man at $60,000 minimum I’m not the slightest bit interested in a new truck and I pull in 6 figures.

I have a good job and make a pretty good salary. (Over 100k a year) I am realizing I will never own a brand new truck unless it's the base model. 65 to 70k+ for trucks that are supposed to be marketed to blue-collar workers. Lol! Those days seem to be over folks. I am guessing I'm not the only one thinking that after watching this video. Total sales have got to be down for these manufacturers. They have priced people like me out of the market.

I know which one I’ll be buying: none of them because the automakers have priced us right out of the market! We don’t want gadgets. We just want a dependable truck that we can afford to buy and service. The more gadgets that go into these trucks the more they cost to buy and the more they cost to repair.

Regarding the Tundra hybrid: Toyota has said the hybrid isn’t necessarily to win efficiency but it’s their substitute for a diesel engine. High immediate torque with decent fuel economy. Its gonna be hard for Toyota to get people to think of hybrid use for anything but awesome fuel economy.

Looks like I'll hang on to my 2013 Silverado LT I paid $28k for. To replace it, I'd pay over double and not get much in the way of capability if anything. Of course I'd get an iPad on the dash...

I recommend that you extend the warranty on your Chevrolet trucks because the transmission crashes at 70,000 miles, that happened to me.

If I bought anyone of those trucks with all the options, it would cost more than I paid for my house. Insane!

Here is my expert buyers guide. DO NOT BUY ANY OF THESE TRUCKS IN 2024! They bumped the prices up dramatically claiming there was a chip shortage. What is the excuse now? I hope the auto industry gets a reality check this year. and if its true Ford is going to charge a subscription for their 360 camera, they have just lost a loyal business customer for good. I don't do anything subscriptions.

All of these trucks look nice and all but the pricing is way too expensive. I typically buy and keep a truck for 10 years before switching it out for a new one but, given the current price, I rather keep it longer now. I bought my 2010 Tundra Limited for 45k brand new, just don't see spending over 50k for a truck or any car.

I love having a big screen tv on the dash , it will never go out of date, and i like looking at it better then out the windshield .

Excellent video Andre!! Thanks!

"2024 Truck Buyer's Guide"... Cool! I'm going to watch it! 30 seconds in: actually, all too expensive for me, no way I'm going to buy one anyway. I think I'll just quit watching and go type something in the comments...

I appreciate the bottom line reviews of all trucks. Very informative

I want to get a new truck like the Ram but I can’t see myself affording it… $60k plus dealer markups and high interest is just bad… and my credit isn’t even bad.

Thank you Andrea for your videos. I think I’ll just keep my 2015 F150 FLT in my 2009 Silverado classic these trucks pricing are ridiculous.

Well done Andrey!! That’s a ton of information to remember and report on!! Thanks for the info.!!

loved this thank you, hopefully going to get that Tundra here soon we'll see, thank you!

The Ram 1500 offers satisfactory performance and comfort, but I've encountered significant reliability issues. With two engine failures, a troublesome transmission, and numerous visits to the dealership, it feels like problems get patched up until the warranty ends. Be cautious; owning a Ram 1500 might lead to a truck parked in your driveway without an engine, alongside an outstanding loan balance

Great job! Great overview. I am impressed.

Great presentation by André!

Hey Andrei, thank you very much! You are the best truck journalist on the net. I wonder what is going to be your choice for the next full size truck you’re buying after that Colorado? Perhaps another F150 or a Chevy 3.0 turbodiesel..

Pre-pandemic it was easy to find a 1 year used full-size for 20-30k down, I think next year it'll be back to that with interest rates up. Even during the pandemic you could find dealerships still marking 8% down from MSRP if you spent 5 minutes to shop. Just wait the stealerships out.

Would like to see you expose the common problems these new trucks are having. I work for a company with a fleet of 150. With repetitive problems like Ford cracked frames, turbos, AC climate control sensors needing to remove dashes to replace etc., 2023 Chevrolet trucks with 6k miles transmission reverse not working , DPF filters plugging up, 4x4 not engaging because abs light on., etc. Expose these $60k+ trucks for what the consumer has in store waiting 2 months for repairs, not to mention businesses and income loss. Expose them!

Just makes sure you have $80,000 or else you can’t afford a truck

Thanks brother. I appreciate the video

That tundra trd pro is a 2023 not a 2024 because it doesn’t have the black headliner

The 3.0 Duramax is by far the best full-size pick up truck engine that you can possibly get. Imo

Great review

Well done Andre. Thanks.

Thank you Andrea for your videos.

Audrea i was really impressed with your knowledge of the new trucks,

The problem here is this. The prices for trucks is insane and a joke. There is no need for the price of a truck being as high as some homes, small homes, one bedroom homes, but still a home.

Went to see a 23 tundra...my payments will come out to 1k a month. And i make 100k yearly. Ridiculous pricing

Added 20 years to myself yesterday when I ordered a King Ranch.

Someone slapped that winch on the front of the tremor. Looks like an afterthought.

I float in and out of the "1%" year after year. Medical Sales. Im doing pretty well, and I cant believe how expensive these trucks have become. They just arent affordable. You have very well to do people buying these, and people who end up "truck poor" under the weight of the payments. They just arent reasonable for most Americans. Now the UAW is going to strike, and supply chain will get even more screwed up. I dont see prices ever coming back down to normal levels. Upper 40s to mid 50s is where these trucks belong. NOT 75K plus

Well done, Andre!

Straight 6 diesel one of the best and smoothest engine displacements! Would love to own one especially bmw m550d

I just priced out the 2024 AT4 with the 3.0 diesel. It priced out at almost $73K, before taxes and fees.

As a lifelong Ford guy, not a fan of this refresh. The existing Tremor is a much better looking truck.

Hey guys, you guys have the manufacturers ear. I wish you could express concerns I have about truck options. My point is that none of the manufacturers offer a supercab configuration with a nicer trim option, like a Lariat or Larime. And no one offers a sunroof in that body style. I have an oldie but goodie 03 F150 Supercab, and I love its size. I purchased a 22 F150, but had to purchase a crew cab to get the options I wanted. After driving it for 5 months, I sold it. Thank goodness I kept my 03.

I used to trade in my truck every 2-3yrs for the latest and greatest. With the price gouge, I'll keep my truck for 20+yrs.

Good job guys.

All of these trucks are expensive, but if i had to choose one. It would be an F150, I love that ecoboost engine.

Since I always use a bed topper, those RAM side boxes are a bust.

I wanted to replace my 2018 F150 in a year or so for another full-size truck. With these prices i will have to keep my 150 or step into a midside. What are these manufacturers doing? The middle class cant afford these vehicles

Wish you had pointed the cheaped out transaxle. We get the 4wd auto on my 2023 1500 Limited Longhorn at the expense of moving bands - that I suggest will wear out quickly. It's a Borg Warner 44-44 I think and we need the old fashion 44-45?? I found this below and value your input. Did RAM cheap out the 4wd auto and the bands engaging when torque is applied? The BW 44-45 transfer case is identical to the 44-44 but operates as an electronically controlled part-time transfer case with SOF (shift on the fly) capability. The operation is the same except for the control system, which has only four operating ranges: 2 High, 4WD Lock, Neutral and 4WD Low. Thanks for the comparison video.

i hope chevy keeps in their smaller half ton duramax, im loving mine in my 2023 1500. tons of torque and my average mpg is just under 27mpg! long road trips i get about 650-670mi per tank (24gal) with my best tank getting 682mi. they just really need to add a larger fuel tank capacity.. up to 30gal tank you could push 850 miles with a larger tank, no need to stop anywhere on those 8-12hr road trips if you dont want to!

I love our ram boxes We have a 21 limited

Average buyer can no longer afford any of these trucks any longer. Just disappointing. They are now priced for 5% of population.

I hate the truck market now. They are all ridiculously over priced, and to the point that workers can't afford a work truck. The quality has gone out the door in support of unnecessary technology and government mandates.

Nice update.

I’m not a Ram guy specifically. They are good looking, but the dealerships,,,,, ugghh. They are so damn greedy. Looked at a Rebel G/T with RamBox, 5.7, Dutch tailgate. If it had the Hurricane 6 cylinder, I may have bought it out of spite,,, but the 5.7 antique boat anchor 😂😂 is still there. The Dutch tailgate is the industry best, period. The 2024 F150 I have yet to see, but I can already see it’s limitations with the tailgate,,, too bad as Ford is my favourite. The Tundra has some distinct deals in comparison to the rest. SR, TRD Off-road, double cab is well priced. The current TRD Pro is a bit better than ever before and are starting to be closer to being worth the $$, but not quite yet. The tailgate, is a tailgate, that’s it. The 2024 pricing is frustrating due to profit taking for 24. I probably wouldn’t get a hybrid Tundra. The GMs are getting more individual from each other, but the 3.0 litre Diesel is such a great motor. A DoubleCab Z71 4x4 fully loaded is my personal favourite in the current market. (Personal tastes only). The multifunction tailgate is not at all my favourite. I will get the powers up/down tailgate. Unfortunately you are saddled with the G80 option code for a locking rear differential. The others have electronic locking differentials d which I prefer. If I was going for a crew cab it would be a F150 hybrid with 7.2 KW Pro Power Onboard, FX4 in an XLT or King Ranch. Don’t know Ford’s current pricing here in Canada as they take months to update their CDN website after the US website is updated. There’s a thousand plus variations between all the full size trucks out there,,, to each their own, enjoy!!! 😊😊

Are the GM trucks getting the updated interior across all trims?

This is the video we all needed tbh

People keep saying they'll just buy used because of pricing. But when new truck sales drop, used trucks go up. So a 200,000 mile Silverado or F150 4x4 can bring $35,000 and have no warranty on its $8,000 transmission. Maybe people mean they want to daily a really old truck?

Outstanding mashup!

Can you do a video showcasing single cab trucks?

Love my Tundra Hybrid, the truck is a blast to drive and I love the look. FYI: 21-22mgs freeway/highway driving.

Hey, maybe they're getting rid of the classics for 24 since they'll no longer be using that cab design for the HD trucks starting next year or the year after? My understanding was they did offer it as a cheaper alternative but only because they were using the old cab design for the HD trucks so hopefully we'll finally be getting an update on the HD trucks for '25🤞

Ford OWN's wholesale the market for the cheapest V8 sleeper work/race truck; that $38,565 RCSB (6.5 foot bed), V8 that comes standard with 3.73s and a locker ! Because the clued up types are on to that combo, I think the real sleeper now will be the RCLB version (8.0 foot bed); @ $40,235, in work truck white of coarse !!

Like most people who watch these videos, I love pickup trucks. That being said, the only thing that would spark my interest into getting a new one is a big leap in fuel efficiency. Paying these type of prices for a vehicle that isn't much better on gas then my 06 F150 XLT is hard to justify, even if they come better equipped feature/tech wise.

Base models starting at the low, low price of $65,000! Building back better baby! Woohoo!

Yup all these newer trucks going to be sitting in the dealership parking lots looking lonely if they don’t start cutting the prices down🤷🏽‍♂️ it still to expensive 🤦🏽‍♂️

Toyota tundra easy pick

Watching the guy wipe the fingerprints off the chevy and then Andre go behind him and start poking it lol

I would like to see a 2024 F-150 loaded Lariat vs base Platinum.

Ram boxes are a cool idea but I still prefer my Titan boxes because they are easily removable.

My only real complaint with the Ram is the fact it's made by Stellantis.

I see a lot about towing capacity. In my province in Canada, a regular driver's license only permits a person to tow 10,141 lbs. Do some American states have similar laws? For non commercial use, towing capacity is pretty much a mute point it seems.

Chevy should make a bed organizer system like ford and dodge .I think the ford winch looks it out of place

Andre what was the payload on the platinum plus F-150?

All these towing numbers are within a couple hundred lbs. Big Deal. Nobody going to switch brands for a couple hundred lbs. of towing.

Why do the new limiteds not have the wood trim on top of the steering wheel? My 19 does

That Toyota at my dealership was 83k for a pro model. 83k for a Toyota truck is insane. Will wait for the tesla CT

Love the Tremor

I feel like you were specifically talking to me when you said. "If your a sales person making a lot of trips and calls" hahaha I currently own a 5.3 v8 silverado and yes considering the turbo diesel next. 😂

Average price of a base model is 60k Canadian pesos, “you will own nothing and be happy “

I went with the Ram Diesel because the fuel capacity in the Chevy was so small

I’ve been wondering if the Ram Classic was going away. It’s the only truck on their website not to have a 2024 tab. It’s crazy that the 4th gen has almost made it to the 6th gen. 😂

I bought my 2003 Chevy Silverado for $17,000 in 2005. The inflation markup is ridiculous on these new trucks and they're using cheap quality materials. A 12-year-old kid could probably pull that tailgate off the hinges.

Thank you for not calling the Tundra 3.5 liter! Street cred for that! Also, good job memorizing all the specs... but we all know that mentioning the published max payload is a waste of everyone's time, just show us the door jam with the real real :) (I know they always have prototypes so we can't discover the truth haha)

Thank you sir,👍

I am at the scheduled year to trade up my vehicle foe my growing family. Not only is that impossible for new, it's financially dumb for a used. I'll just hold tight another year and struggle with the kids packed in tight.

The door on the ford opens super wide. That is nice.

Thank you

Would be way more helpful to know payload for model shown and mid grade trim than the base model IMHO.

Living in Europe only the RAM 1500 is a real option. It's the only one available in moderate numbers, while others like the F150 are rare - you might find one, but they're super rare. The RAM is also well prepared for export right from the factory, which makes it easier to import it here ... Ford will bring the F150 to Europe soon, but so far it basically doesn't exist here I chose a 2022 RAM 1500 Rebel G/T with Ramboxes and eTorque and I'm very happy with it

I'm just hoping for a ram r/t with the new cab or something compatible. I hope, but I don't think it will happen.

I have a 5th wheel camper that supposed to be half ton towable at about 8500 lbs. I would love to buy the new 2024 Chevy with the 3.0l diesel to pull it with but I'm concerned about payload. If a 5th wheel transfers about 18% of the weight to the truck, that's ~1530 lbs of payload. This either almost or does max out payload on a 1500 with just the camper. Am I doing these calculations correctly? Should I be concerned about other things as well? I know you guys test and tow with a lot of trucks so your insight would be appreciated.

All these dealer lots are loaded with 23s still and even 22s lol what are we doing

Does any manufacturer read the general publics views on these insane prices?

I would like to know when the Toyota Capstone is going to offer different interior colors. The white interior is not the best option for a truck. I loved the Capstone, but couldn't get past that interior color.
