lol what does the dealer have to do with manufacturers making the vehicles so expensive. You must think the dealers buy them for tens of thousands cheaper and make a huge profit huh ? If anything you should be mad at the brands for overpricing their trucks, but oh wait! You must also want the factories to stay in America and pay a living wage. Can’t have both ding dong. That’s why a lot of factories are going south of the border. To try and bring costs down, but are at the same time taking jobs away. You tell us the solutions keyboard warrior.
I don't understand how people buy these cars/trucks. I have a mental block for anything around $40K or more. It's insane to me that I bought a brand new F150 XLT 4X4 in 2019 for 37.4K OTD. Now they're listing them nearly $60K. I see used with the same miles as mine listed at $35K. It's insane.
Most of the customers who are buying these full size trucks are the types who don’t plan to use their trucks for utility or work in a daily basis. The trucks are simply a commuter vehicle bought “in case one day owner need to tow or haul something”. for the most part though, they’re around town family cruisers with a bed on the back.
@@Gramps83Diesel is even worse. The maintenance costs are unreal and then there’s the price for diesel. Unless someone is towing heavy, and I mean HEAVY, every day please go out and buy a used Tundra with the 5.7 or an F150 with the 6 speed and 5.0. You will be so much happier.
At my Toyota dealer the tundras are going for 75-80k and there’s like 4 lots full and doubled rows and the used is tundras with like 16k miles it’s crazy ain’t no one buying them
So when are they going to start marking down those vehicles they've been sitting on for over 1 year? Seeing new 2023s only a couple of thousand under MSRP. Do they just expect you'll try to haggle when buying?
It's insane how expensive they've gotten as someone who has been in the market for a 3/4 ton since 2020. I should have just bitten the bullet and bought one in 2020
@@ChoddedNloaded It's going to take 3-5 years for low mileage used cars to correct. Between the lost production and years of lower trade in volume there just won't be enough vehicles.
Personally, if I was going to spend that much, I would take the truck over the BMW all day long. I don't think either one is worth the price but to me there is way more value in the truck.
Yeah but used trucks cost 50k with 100k + miles on it .if I only drive 20k a year they already put the first 5 years of wear and tear and pay off into it then your paying off their truck and they get a free upgrade. It’s fucked
My fully loaded BMW X3 was 62k otd. There is something seriously wrong when mid tier luxury suvs like the BMW X3 and X5 are cheaper than a pickup truck.
Im not advocating for these high prices, but I would pay 60k for a loaded Tundra way before paying 60k for a BMW which will depreciate faster than a Trumps bible business….and then the maintenance on that poor ole BMW once it had 80k miles…not a good choice.
Oh no, why do we as a species not learn from history. This will end poorly. Those that have cash and no car payments will have a literal bonanza when this thing finally unravels.
Ha ha ha! I recently asked why a Ford bronco was way overpriced for what it was. And at least once a week they call me telling me it’s still there. I should go offer them 30 grand less and see what they say ha ha
They can keep them until they totally rot out at the current new and used prices. I also don’t understand why people buy trucks and don’t actually use them for their intended purpose. I might be willing to consider the new pricing if they were trouble free for 200,000 miles.
All rolling POS. the newy chevy and gmcs break down at sub 30k miles, new fords are on their 2nd trans with not even 1 yr in since 2018 models and newest trucks, dodge trucks are made out plastic inside the transmission talk about durability they break down at 60k miles...
I Used CarEdge to find the truck I wanted and then used the information from the website for negotiations. This was the most fun I ever had while in the market for a new car and it was because of your videos and website that took all stress out of the negotiation process. I got the exact truck I wanted and at the price. It took me 6 months and several negotiations to get what I wanted but it was worth it.
That's a lariat, dingbat. Lariat is one of their upper trim level (luxury) trucks. F150's start at about $50K new. You can order a base model truck for about $40K
