Ford & GM Made A DUMB MOVE! Truck Buyers ANGRY After Finding Out The Truth... 

Agreed!

Yep!!😊

I agree with that they’ve been too greedy for too long

That's my strategy.

I do like the mach e, but I can’t afford one. But I totally agree, calling it a Mustang was a bad move. Maybe Cougar 😂

They thought it was a good idea to appeal to the most stupid of their fanbase instead of making something small, fresh, fun and appealing to their more intelligent buyers or maybe even bringing in some new ones. Enjoy Ford, enjoy.

I had no problem with them making it Mach E, but naming it Mustang was just dumb. Only people who don't know any better think it's a mustang. People who are very easily marketed to.

@@TooFly357 I would love to see an electric real Mustang with a Tesla Plaid ludicrous mode. Maybe Mustang owners wouldn’t want to give up the V8, but I’m one, and I would love it.

So many other new cars are around that price. Sad

And when you add it up , when you charge an EV your still not getting the range that you get with ICE vehicle , and an ICE vehicle fill to capacity in 5 minutes, and to add even more insult to injury with the EV , the range you have the day you purchased it , every single charge you do , a little bit of that very expensive battery dies. Basically EVs have built in obsolescence, EVs are shit.

Yes how true!

Hybrid vehicles are the hot sellers now !@@brandan7761

U don't feel that pain with teslas 👌

Worst car ever made. !!

Exactly.

Sounds like 2020. Gee, what happened in 2021? (sarc)

LOL my 2004 Silverado 2500HD Duramax had an MSRP of like 45K bud

LOLGov't telling businesses what to produce. Ha Ha

The model Y is the number one selling car in the world.

Conservatives don't want EVs. They don't care about our planet or people. They think a gun can save the planet. Lol

@@dvwatts So What! It's not selling here genius. You Democrats were worried that Republicans are tyrants & ruin Democracy. Well we're seeing the Democrats ruin the car market right before our eye's. You Democrats are experts at projection, not common sense.

Cmon man, that's how Bidenomics Works ⚠️⚠️🤣

I agree. But they’re being scummy in their own way too. Forcing high trim levels on consumers if you don’t wanna wait eons for a truck. And than hellishly jacking up base truck prices. It’s downright nasty.

Tears of laughter maybe. I can't believe how they have attempted to screw us.

And the unions supporting democrats will find out what that leads to.

You’re definitely right. My uncle just retired from FORD. Last year. 38 years in. And you wouldn’t believe the stuff he’s tells me. About that company. Everything about making money. And ripping off the customers. The materials they used is so cheap and easily recyclable. You wouldn’t believe it. Everyone in upper management is clueless. It’s like you’re back in high school. !!

I don't blame them. The government has been designing cars for decades. Every time they solve a POS requirement they get tossed another hair brained requirement. The problem in not the environment. It is control of the populace. If those government brains were as good as they think they are. They would in design teams in Detroit.

The only good news would be, the EV wouldn't get stolen because of a low charge.

I had to use public chargers here in Sweden, but suddenly they charged $0.8 per kwh (!!), which made it way more expensive than to drive than my "old" ice car. The ev was 200% more expensive to drive in winter.

Most people charge at home, most of the time. Presumably the safest one can be. How many get their credit cards stripped and hacked, or get car jacked, or get theft from the car, or are subject to other common gas station crimes? The sword cuts both ways.

@@bkanegson true but you’re not there near as long for criminals to scope it out come back around etc , for myself I wouldn’t want to be sitting there plugged in that long , plus gas stations have more people around and cameras, I have no idea if charging stations have any security, just my opinion thanks

@@bkanegson only 50% of the people in sweden life in a house. Rest lives in an apartment. THen you need your public charger. This ofcourse changes depending on what country you live in.

Just like your MPG goes down the drain while towing Stop your conspiracy theories, you discovered water is wet Numbnut YES everybody including ford stated and ADVERTISED range will be less while towing Why would it be the same? You’re extremely du mb for stating the obvious like a big realization

Many people are idiot followers of stupid tech car companies because they follow whatever the big Corp boys of automotive tell them they need in their lives.😁😁😁😁😁

Lol. Expensive ass trucks that can’t handle hills 😂

@@JAlfredPrufrock2012 I only drive about 2500 kms in my truck a year (2004 F150 4 x 4). Small town, everything is close, and in the summer, I ride my motorcycle. I seriously looked into the lightning as I use it so little, range isn't an issue. I looked, studied, and found it woefully lacking. Not only that, here it was $80,000 cdn. PLUS taxes. For that I could replace the drive train in my truck, fix everything that's wrong with it, pay for gas for the rest of my life AND have $20,000 left over to put into a GIC at 6%

". . . shades of depression". 😁👍 That was the most noticeable thing about the Chevy lot. . . . COLOR.

That’s a good point. I still have my 2014 ford F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it. With no issues.

True. My basic work truck. 2018 F150 3.3 NA v6 2wd. Small tires. Has auto start stop (which is worthless and dumb) and it also has The front Collision Mitigation System that comes standard on the basic of basic work trucks. Just a guess.. but thats probably 8k that I don't need nor never use.

​@@harveyhankerson8359wow! Thats awesome. Original engine and all? What motor?

“Shades of depression “ 😂I’m going to use that one ! Who walks on a new car lot and is enticed by lack of color ?

Oh yeah. And that’s why I still have my 2009 FORD F150. With 3 hundred thousand miles on it.. still running strong. !!

True

@@harveyhankerson8359 I guess Ford should have made it less reliable, force you to buy another one.

@@user-fj8wr8jh4e definitely not. Can’t afford it.

Especially with hamburger meat at $6 a pound!

Found a grandpa"s 87 F150 short bed 4x4. Interior looks like new. Has a carburetor, no computers, wing windows AC and can be worked on with plain old tools. They can keep their new junk trucks. I will take simple over over engineered any day.

A 1989 Taurus has computers.

@@kolsen6330 Computer stuff is reliable. I have an 07 F150 with 213K miles. Its 17 year old truck and it still feels new. The old trucks would need to be rebuilt with 80K miles on them, 10 years was good for a truck back then. Cars are more complex but they do last longer. Really all you need is a good scan tool to deal with them. Its just nuts, bolts and wires.

@@user-fj8wr8jh4e My 87 is the originl motor. No idea how many miles on it as the speedo was replaced. I will stick with my old truck. Got Wing windows?????

I remember CO Farley pushing EV "The future" Here he is admitting he "Now" understands . Would I trust Ford in the future ?

@@gus892 No

Run an extension cord or save up for a your own house. Can’t do either? Then it’s a clapped out Toyota Camry for you. Prioritize, earn more or live with the consequences. Nobody owes you anything.

​​​@@boulderghost4457You are completely off base and out of touch. Regular consumers and tax payers are effectively being forced to subsidize the luxury electric car purchases of upper middle class people, and you are lecturing them about how "nobody owes you anything!"? Delusional. Even if people follow your advice and "drive a clapped out Camry" they will still be negatively effected by these policies, which are driving up the cost of used cars as well, even the mythical "clapped out camry".

You should upgrade to a newer gas model while you still can buy one.

@@AStanton1966 I have a 2018 Tundra also. But I'm keeping the miles low on it driving the Tacoma.

#LoveForeignersMoreThanAmericans.

@@briansantefort Enjoy those Tundra tow hooks and V-8--they're are no longer installing them on the Toyota's.

@@AStanton1966 And to top that 2018 is the last year for Inferno Red 4x4 SR5 with HD tow package and auxiliary trans cooler that they did away with after 2018. I will be keeping my truck forever.

Must be great for off road adventures.

Super, the faster EV’s fail the sooner we can get past this scam. I fix vehicles too and am driving a totaled 2001 Outback I bought in 2008 for $1,500. I don’t waste my money on new vehicles, old is gold!

Electric will get there at some point 15 years i think. Small cars are ready to go now.

@@dobbo7690 Yeah, until you need to repair it.

​@@dobbo7690love it and afford it are two different things. Total cost of ownership is going to be higher for some than keeping what they have

@@666dynomax I have a 2004 F150 4 x 4. for the price of a new ev I could replace the entire drive train, repair everything wrong with mine, pay for gas for the rest of my life and have $20,000 to put into a GIC at 6%. Sorry, no thank you. I had it out with an ev owner who was harping on how much money he was saving on fuel. It only cost him $40 month on electricity instead of $200 in fuel. The model he owned only came with an 8 yr warranty on the battery and a replacement was $16,000. "are you incorporating that cost into your fuel cost"? NO why should I? Because your $200 in fuel was in a 20 yr old vehicle, your ev won't last 20 yrs and if you want it to, it'll cost you $32,000+ labour. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS! yes it is. Fuel isn't the ONLY cost of a vehicle.

@@usocrazy6133Tesla is an outstanding product, but the rest is garbage

@@mferraz2050 perhaps, but i will never own one.

I own 2020 Model 3 SR+, brand new Aug 2020, White/White. 42K price at 2.19 APR. No issues to date and still absolutely love driving it. So far to include daily commute, drove from Central Virginia to Cleveland OH, Pinehurst NC, Myrtle Beach with no issues with finding and charging at Tesla Charging stations. Concur with you on the buying experience.

Same thing calling their small truck a Maverick. I'm old enough to remember the original Ford Maverick and it was nothing to write home about.

My stupid sister just brought one.. and her lights won’t go off. And it’s burning the battery down.

You can't say that without laughing

Kia 💯💩💩💯💩💩💯💩💩

Hoovie proved: 2+ miles of range for every mile driven. With an empty 1500 lbs car hauler. Ford's claims were 100% BS.

I drive a 2023 Ford e-transit van for work. (That's 100% an EV). I haven't yet managed to overload it. They understood the weight issues with batteries and adjusted accordingly. Meanwhile, the power train weight is lighter, so there is that. The vehicle is leased, so we won't be fronting the cost of replacing batteries. The torque is awesome, btw. Don't misunderstand: the e-transit has lots of _Ford issues_ -- stupid little things that were better designed in my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country -- but I can live with those issues. Matt should test drive some EVs. Then he would know.

@TheRealScooterGuy interesting. What's also interesting is that I wasn't even aware that this van existed. It sounds well matched to is application (relatively short trips where you can plug it in at the shop and run it for cheap without ever going to a charging station, or, obviously, a gas station). The Lightning seems least ready for prime time, especially as a general purpose pickup, yet it received the most hype. The E Transit? Granted, I'm not in the market for this type of vehicle, but I'm not looking for something like a Lightning either. But still, the fact that I had no idea this van existed until I read your comment, seems to indicate where their advertising efforts have gone.

@@barrydworak You must be in the UK as you are referring to the lightning as a "van" here, we have cargo vans and pickups, 2 diff animals.

@muskokamike127 no. I'm in the US and I referred to the Transit as a van because it's a van. He said the Ford van EV works well. I said that Ford has really advertised the Lightning, a pickup that falls short, but I had never even heard that there was an electric Transit. They should have put their marketing efforts behind something that works, that they can sell right now, not something that universally disappoints buyers, like the Lightning.

Oh yeah. My uncle just retired from GM. Last year. 37 years in. And you wouldn’t believe the stuff he’s tells me about that company. Everything about making money. And ripping off the customers. It’s almost sickening. Especially in upper management. There clueless. It’s like you’re back in high school. !! So sad .. !!!!

My grandfather and all three of my uncles worked in the steel mills. I always bought Ford or GM vehicles but the next vehicle that I buy will not be. I want to support my fellow countrymen but the big three are making that impossible.

These domestic automakers know that the US government will bail them out again especially since they are carrying out their agenda. I shed no tears for Ford or GM. I grew up in a GM only household and won't even set foot on any GM dealership since they became Government Motors during the Obama administration.

@@kcmrides5758 There you go. Blame Obama. Did Obama give the rich a tax break in 2017 too?

Depends on which EV you have. I did 2.5k miles road trip to Yellowstone on Tesla last summer. It was great. However, I wouldn't be able to do the same in non-Tesla EV.

So, basically, you need two cars if an EV is one of them. Um... no thanks.

Glorified golf cart for local grocery shopping. Take a road trip? You’ll never get there.

@@CBBC435 Most people have 2 cars.. Im poor and i have 2

@@gerardhesse6959 Grocery shopping, kids to and from school, to work and back, to outings, to friends houses. So in essence an EV will work for everything but a road trip, which people rarely take. Goofball.

Exactly. Intentionally skipping this phase was the brain child of the Biden Admin. The most brainless admin we’ve ever seen.

And as Toyota notes, you can make 3-4 more hybrids with the same parts to make 1 EV, so we could have had a slower transition with increasing gas mileage, efficiency and infrastructure. But we apparently think Greta and AOC are right and the world is ending from climate change last year.

What?

Not even if they did that, I still wouldn’t want one.

I challenge you to go test drive one. Come on, it will be fun.

You can always keep messing things up for those who follow you.

It’s also THE best selling suv in the world Imagine being so deep far your own conspiracy theory bubble that you think evs don’t sell

35 grand huh? Yeah sure.

It's ugly af

@@Rapido20 And we see how well they work in the cold. I know, tow a trailer with a large gen set to keep the batteries up.

Oh yeah. That why I still have my 2009 Chevy Silverado. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. !! Still running strong !!

Most people drive less than 30 miles commute before COVID. Those of us who travel to vacation destination via car stop every 2-3 hours (180-210 miles) for a potty break or switching drivers. Even in my pre EV days i'm good for 2=hour drive then 20-minute stretch/bio break. Please cite the source that reports the USA power grid is incapable to handle EV cars.

I guess you have to compromise and buy a car powered by gasoline, LOL! I could never go back to a gas engine, too many compromises. Tesla has lower prices than what you see in this video, much lower, and most of them also get the tax credit.

There's no LOL here, only practicality. Let's be real. Let's talk about the compromises of ice cars. Are they more expensive than EVs. NO, they're cheaper. Ok, do they come with range anxiety? NO, not at all, that only applies to EVs. Are you recommended to fill your gas tank to 80% to prolong engine life? NO, that only applies to EVs. Does your range diminish with time? NO, that only applies to EVs. Do you get recharging anxiety with an ice car? NO, that only applies to EVs, an ice car will refuel in minutes. Are there a shortage of gas stations. NO, that only applies to EV charging stations. Does extreme heat or cold affect an ice car's range and performance? NO, that only applies to EVs. Will my ice car depreciate faster than a stone in the ocean? NO, that only applies to EVs. Will I worry about range and charging anxiety if I rent a car? NO, car rental companies are dumping their plans to adopt EVs and are re-investing in ice cars. If I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who can charge at home, do I need to install an expensive charging unit to charge my ice car? NO, that only applies to EVs, I can fuel up at the gas station down the street in 5 minutes. Will my insurance rates skyrocket on my ice car? NO, that only applies to EVs. ( my current ice car's insurance is about $750 a year ) Will my ice car's expensive battery pack be damaged in an accident or just wear out with time and need replacement? NO that only applies to EVs, ice cars don't need troublesome battery packs. Does my ice car rely on china for a battery pack? NO, that only applies to EVs. Will my ice car spontaneously combust with furious thermal runaway for no particular reason? NO, that only applies to EVs. I keep on looking for the alleged compromises in ice cars but they just don't seem to be there. There is no LOL in the real world.

You are gullible if you really believe everything you wrote there. The proof is that most people who experience the advantages of pure electric drivetrains don't ever want to go back to gas powered cars. That is incompatible with your silly claims. Electric cars are just more convenient (and, yes, you need a charging station at home or work for that to be true). But living somewhere you can charge is not luck, it's a conscious decision and most single-family homes are suitable for EV charging stations without great expense. Mine cost less than a thousand dollars which I paid back in 4 months of not buying gasoline. @@patrickchubey3127

EVs are toxic.

Don't forget to get gas.

Shit stain on the mustang name unreal the upper brass would let that slip

Tesla Model 3 is $32k otd now, model y is $46k. Outstanding vehicles. Made in America.

​@@666dynomaxI was honestly shocked when they DIDN'T call it the "Thunderbird", which has always sounded like it should involve electrical power, anyways.

Well done video ? Really ??? At 1:06 he used 2022 average EV price data. What year is it now? lol EV price has been gone down a lot since 2022 Stop wasting ur time

Because American consumers, as directed by Ford, GM and other OEMs, insist on warping science so they can feel good, like the ads brain washed them. Laughable, to think folks like Motor Feed assume everybody wants a truck. Shop 50-100k+ price tags, for crap tech, then come to RU-vid and gripe about $40k EVs.

Runnnnnnnnn. Sometimes I go stealth mode and show up in my green JK Jeep. Haha.

Ok. So why don't we all go out and buy a horse and buggy and commute to work, grocery store, soccer practice.

Same here in Philly. We only sold one..

NACS arrives this year.

It’s a million times less a Mustang than the Mustang II (which I do like) 😂 what was Ford thinking????

😂😂😂

It's because our brilliant commander in chief mandated 50% of vehicles produced will be EV's by 2030

Stop it. Report just released revealed USA is now the leader in oil production. Tell us how specifically the fed gov is at war with America? We're waiting and do provide source(s) other than Fox or Newsmax.

Yep 😊

Well... I do like Tesla!

@@MotorFeedDo an honest review of Tesla sales, price, cost to maintain, customer satisfaction, and company growth. I dare you! Best American car ever.

@MotorFeed Tesla Model Y Was the Best Selling *"ALL A Round car"* last year. I don't care for EVs. I don't wanna own EV, just stating the Truth.

Those are great little trucks.

Btw, I'm a person who very much considers myself an environmentalist, a tree hugger basically, and in my opinion, a lot of the push towards electric vehicles from corporations has nothing to do with protecting the environment, and everything to do with maximizing short-term profit. That's how corporations are designed to always function. Toyota is no exception, they just have a different strategy.

Word.
