The Truck Market Just COLLAPSED! Buyers WON'T PAY For OVERPRICED Trucks.

These two comments both sound like arguments for small government

no company should ever be bailed out for any reason period

Yup

Thats because you cant win as an american. Polarized politics, but both democrats and republicans are the same people, from is real. They just put on a different facade to get money.

Ford, Chevy & Dodge seem to be content to sit on these trucks. I think they'd rather declare bankruptcy and have these trucks scrapped than lower prices. Toyota is just raising prices because the domestic's prices are so outrageous.

I think it's more likely our civilization will fail. We owe ~$200 trillion and the collateral is suburban homes no one will live in again. Can't bail everything out.

"Too big to fail." Like the banks. Politicians reward the rich and people who make bad decisions. The responsible middle class always gets screwed.

Well as much as the dealerships and manufacturers have price gouged the American people, over the last couple years. It’s still 2023 almost 2024 to expect a truck should sell at around $40,000 this day and age is foolishness

I'll stick with my 24yr old Sierra with its 360k miles. It has another 10yrs before I'll need to change the engine and trans most likely. Rockers and besides will need replacing in another year or two. But for a 24yr old truck in ohio I can't complain. Oh and it's still a better truck than this new shit

@@brucem6442 I have 419 thousand miles on my basic 2006 E250. It runs as smooth as the day I bought it. The body is a little rough from the job. I would never buy any truck for even their discounted prices today. Don't need 50,000 dollars of bells and whistles on a work truck and the additional prices to fix the nonsense. If I wanted luxury. I would just buy a Mercedes.

Engines are crap with a roll of the dice. In old days, you bought a new truck & expected to be rolling with no repair or break down issue for 3-4 years.

I hate to burst your bubble but a canyon is not a truck if you need a truck to do truck things which is four-wheel-drive and diesel you were going to pay well over $60,000 for it depending on how nice of one you want I am currently selling a 2010 for 18,000 with 400,000 miles on it Real trucks don’t have spark plugs

It's across the board for sure.

This is me. Bought a Silverado for 8k in '18 I've beat the hell out it and put 65k miles on it. It's still "worth" 8k.

I am already at the point of casting aluminum and forging steel parts to keep an old truck on the road. That's the real American budget.

actually the used truck market is exploding i got an 04 gmc sierra ext cab 4x4 with almost 300 grand on it and i was offered 9 grand for it i turned it down of course cause i am no fool plus i love my truck will never get rid of it and also alot of your truck owners have done the math it would be cheaper to fix their older truck then buy a new one cause the repair cost off an older truck would be minor compared to buying a new truck today

That’s why I got new but I had to my 17 accent I got new actually finally light fire

Honestly man. These rich cunts just think they're cool because they're big and slightly higher than most cars. You don't see anybody towing with a brand new dually anymore.

I agree. I will never buy new. I can get a truck a few years old for a fraction of the cost.

​@tonygSDWR Agreed. when my '95 Ford Ranger finally gave out I went shopping for a used one. I was targeting the 00-10 year group because I just needed something reliable to occasionally haul stuff. I got a really good deal on a 2010 in immaculate condition, but it cost me more than I expected. Even the war horses that were pretty beat were either $$$ or over 300k miles. These overpriced glamour trucks are putting pressure on the used market. Who wants to drop $100 k on a new truck and use it for driving on construction sites, carrying paint and solvents, and loading aluminum siding?

My thoughts exactly. They can go pound sand.

The EPA, that's what happened to affordable trucks. They have such an unrealistic requirement for efficiency that auto makers have to keep increasing the size of trucks each year. As far as physical dimensions go my 2020 Silverado 1500 is the same size or bigger than a Silverado 2500 from a few years ago.

exactly

@NolanVoid-dr1ch In Thailand a brand new basic 4 door hilux is the equivalent of $17k and a top of the line model is just under $30k. They are releasing the IMV0 which will cost $10k. That's just Toyota, they also get affordable trucks from Izusu and Mitsubishi that we don't get, and it's the same story for the Philippines and probably Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia etc. Americans are getting shafted.

I have cash in hand for a new pickup but only if they cut the prices in half. $30K for a fully loaded pickup is my budget and that money will most likely stay in my bank account because these dealers will never come back to reality with their pricing.

@NolanVoid-dr1ch now that is insane

True. I make over 75k and should be their ideal customer. But I can't afford these trucks now, and even if I could I can't justify the expense for what I get. If I'm shopping with an 80k budget I'd still rather buy a 20k used car and rent a truck if I need the capability a few times a year. These trucks would be attractive and should be priced at about 50% of their current MSRP.

People need to be more like you.

actually you just spoke for me

Not for a pile of plastic full of useless electronics.... can they just sell me a truck?

Man, i hear you. I had to let my '95 Toyota T100 go after 26 years. 5sp manual, crank windows, 4WD. Heart breaking. Think about her all the time.

Get it to a Million and maybe they'll give you a new one for free as a promo/PR thing like volvo does. "Look our trucks are good for 1m miles is good advertising".

They make a billet transmission for the 7.3 that has a 500k warranty on it. I would be keeping the truck if it isn't completely rotted out.

He's not wrong. they will keep raising the MSRP and charging markups until people stop buying.

He’s wrong I’m damn well not buying, in fact I’ll never buy a new vehicle again . I’m not spending that much money for someone to end up hitting the damn thing .

@@dave0z96 shit, that sucks man.

Absolutely Correct! As long as there is a demand for trucks with every bell and whistle, all the luxury of any car out there, ability to go overland with overland packages. Trucks will continue to sell. Not sure if people are respectful of their money enough to stop spending anytime soon even with high interest rates.

Your father clever $50k tops for our shop or no work truck

Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, and other powerful nations waking up to trade in their own currencies.

@@shortyorc121 Not even close. You are comparing 60+ years of economic inflation, to auto manufacturers overestimating and overpricing the truck market over the course of 15 years. Trucks aren’t expensive because of actual inflation, they are expensive because manufactures overestimated market demand and overpriced.

Before I bought my SUV which the only thing I don't use is the rear locker and 3rd row seats, I use the room but just not the actual seats, I realized that trucks were super overpriced. The only difference between your average truck and my SUV was a truck was twice the price and has less covered room in the rear. I have the towing power, AWD, and everything else. Truck are a ripoff for most people.

They wouldn't be able to price trucks or any vehicle as much as they do, if people will simply tell them that they don't want vehicles that are too much for the cost of living. I have yet to see anybody or a group of people do this....or.....people should stop demanding all of this upgraded, high end vehicles. Just because you CAN get them, doesn't mean that you should. Bells and whistles always have a price down the road

You can thank the unions for a large chunk of that...

Prices won't come down. Just like grocery prices, insurance prices, energy prices, cost of living, etc they are here to stay. What you're gonna see are many of these dealers are gonna go out of business.

Prices have already come down. And will continue to do so. Maybe most MSRP, but rebates are here. Hopefully, more to come.

It might be even more than the 11k. Bought a 2022 Dodge Ram Diesel 2500 w/ 16,000 miles on it. Spent 51 and had a good trade in, they sold it the next day! Anyway, a 23, just like ours is approaching 80k. Forget it! Were keeping this truck forever!!!!!!!

There's also a new truck for sale here at our local dealer for 147msrp. I'm not kidding!

I can afford 3 new vehicles, its my passion and addiction. However unlike many people I owe nothing on credit cards and only pay 1300 per month on my house I pd 200 for in 2004 that is now worth 780k. If you make 80 to 120 a year and many people do you can afford a 100k truck no problem if the rest of your finances are in order. I know people that pay 3k a month in credit cards.

Not very many people for very long Auto loan delinquencies are at the highest levels they've been since 1996. As a result of higher prices & interest rates, more people are falling behind on their loans & the number of repos in 2023 is over 200,000 cars per month.

There are many people who are able to pay $1,500 a month plus gas and insurance for a TRUCK or for a car. There are many households with annual incomes in excess of $150K. These are people, often well educated, who have great jobs or great businesses. Or course there are many more people who are unable to pay that much.

@@foonus406 You're not wrong.

It seems like the bigger the better is the trend now, so many aggresive drivers more so than ever before and people feel that a large SUV or truck will “protect them” from harms way. So many of the average joes go out of their way to spend this ridiculous amount of money on a vehicle. The dealerships know this and so do the manufacturers. I drive a Tacoma and I paid a third of the of price of what these new GMCs/Fords and Rams are going for.

yeah what bugs me is no one makes the small pickups anymore, I heard its because the automakers have to pay a fee based on vehicle size and the small pickups are more expensive so they just started to make them bigger, i remember when the ford ranger was a tiny truck but now it is about the same size as the F-150

@@Arcella1981 It also comes down to the EPA's fuel economy requirements. You can search for the chart, but the quick and dirty of it is they are using an exponential curve for the fuel economy versus vehicle wheel base square footage. That is, the area measured from tire to tire dictates the fuel economy required by the EPA whereas a larger footprint requires much lower fuel economy. If you notice the trends with automotive design, overhangs from the wheel to the bumper have gotten shorter to increase this area for the same size of vehicle. On the other side, small vehicles like a ranger, S10, or Miata have ridiculously high economy requirements that it's impossible to make them. The equivalent for a single cab, short wheelbase compact truck from the early 90's would need to have a fuel economy of 45 to 50 MPG. That pushes them into a hybrid or full electric and out of the price range of a compact vehicle. It's one of the dumbest ideas ever.

Not really, buying a new base model is insane to me. Just get a used well-equipped truck instead

@@tradd1763 you can literally buy a good used truck for $30k. Base model gives you a functionally-equivalent truck for way less cost without that fancy crap that will cost a fortune to fix. The used, highly-optioned vehicle is going to have some wear on all the expensive equipment while the base/work truck model will keep on taking the abuse. $30k for heated/cooled leather seats, an apple car play stereo, some cameras, and some chrome is definitely not worth it. Having said all this, I'm a big fan of buying used, but not a fan of buying a liability.

Find the nearest Costco. Their tire pumps are nitrogen

Yep. Every time it’s crashed I’ve bought me a new used truck lol. Everyone wonders why my vehicle are at least 4-5years old. Because I pay cash when it makes sense to. I refuse to finance something like a pickup. It’s dumb

I bought my first and only new truck so far in 2012 when they were having trouble giving away pickups. Ended up haggling with the dealer and got a Z71 Silverado for $25k cash (I’d just gotten back from deployment so I had a bunch of money saved up). 130,000 miles later, it’s still going strong, thank goodness. Funny thing is, I get offers to buy it for up to $20k. The used truck market here in Texas is equally as nuts as the new market. Dealers are asking $20-40k for stuff with over 100k miles on it, although I suspect this is because new truck prices are so outrageous. A buddy of mine just paid $45k for a 2021 Toyota Tundra with 50k on it! Not really a bad deal all things considered, but I still find it crazy that used trucks are selling for that much.

And how many months it will be in the shop to replace all the China parts that fail. Insurance is horrible also

it sucks for the everyday joe that has a small construction outfit or something and just needs a basic work truck has to deal with these INSANE prices.....

@@americanbadass88 You can buy a reg cab f150 for $35-37k. But who wants that when you can get a RAPTOR!!!!

@@1RungAtATime and thats the problem most dealers are loaded up with the higher trim trucks and might only have a handful of basic work trucks.

Save your cash and buy the repo's that will be hitting the market soon.

For the search of "better credit rating" People stay in debt. Its all through media that credit is king.

💯 prices are stupid but nobody making you buy a brand new car. Ppl doing that by choice even when they can’t afford it.

@@no_goo The sad thing is .gov IS trying to force newer cars. Especially with the new I.C.E. bans in place and proposed.

If you don’t have the cash to pay.you should buy used older vehicle’s les micro chips and censor’s to deal with.and les plastic junk.

Not only that, but driving around with a truck that says warlock on the side of it that’s just hilarious

I’m the truck demographic and there is no way I would spend that kind of money on a new truck.

Insurance goes up because vehicles are more expensive, parts are more expensive, labour to fix the car is more expensive.

Lol that truck is probably worth more than sticker now

Sadly, I've become addicted to my power windows. I'm pathetic...

My dream truck now.

​@@walter2990yes that ridiculous..

Today someone would want $35k and it'd have 300k miles "all highway"

That happened when the feds put a luxury tax on vehicles but didn't include trucks into their definition of taxable vehicles.

We're still bailing them out when they fail 😢

I actually disagree on this. I see a bunch of platinum and king ranch trucks in the store parking lots. GMC denalis also. Including allot of RU-vid RV people. Owning high end trucks. Very few people like me. That bought a stripped down xl f350. They would just go even longer term loans. For the high end models. Till all of a sudden high interest rates. Plus high cost of trucks. Made the long term loans. Cost too much.

No one forces them to buy. It's all so they can brag and complain to there buddies at the local hangout.

No way, too many people went in and said "I can make the payments" and bought the loaded up trucks.

I think if that happens, the manufacturers will offer you the same price as the dealers. They’re all trying to make money at the end of the day. Dealers buy multiple vehicles whereas you just want one. Plus that’s not what their business is about.

Actually you can buy directly from manufacturer. But pay cash or Cashier's cheque

I don't think a law is needed in this case. If the consumer leaves these trucks sitting on the lot the dealership will learn. There might be some buyers who want these things and the buyer and dealership both win.

Customers don't dictate the market. Enjoy your Communist ideology, SoyBoy, but it doesn't work here.

More government is your solution??

Reason why cars and trucks back then were more reasonable is because people were sensible with their wants and needs. If people wanted something cheap back then, they usually opted for: manual steering, manual brakes, manual transmission, no air conditioning, manual seats, manual windows, could have even gotten a heater delete in some vehicles. If you wanted some comfort, could have just opted for the air conditioning. If dealers checked off every option, would have added a significant amount to the price resulting in slow sales. Only vehicles on the dealer lot that were loaded were demonstrator models, or was once of those circumstances where someone ordered a car but ended up canceling since they found a better deal elsewhere.

@@seana806 and now you have to buy everything in packages with mostly ones you don't want.just to get the one you do.

@@seana806 I bought my 1983 Chevy K20 pickup brand new for $11,500 (more spendy because it was in Hawai'i where EVERYTHING costs more). 4-speed "granny low" manual transmission, no A/C, manual door locks and windows, 350 cid engine, 4WD with manual hubs. The most extravagant thing on it was an AM radio.

Thanks for watching!

My 2019 F-150 Lariat 4x4 Crewcab was built in Dearborn in July of 2019....thank Christ....you couldn't PAY me to purchase a new vehicle currently.

If truck prices stay as ridiculous as they are currently when my truck gets older than I want as a daily driver I'll keep it around as a beater work truck and get a car for commuting to work before I'll fork over 100k for a new truck

Glad you liked it!
