The Truck Market Just DIED! We're Tired Of Being RIPPED OFF 

Notice the mid level MSRP's are around $65k or so....ridiculous.

Agreed... they have priced theirself out of the market for 80 percent of the population

​@adamhatcher6620 they don't want to sell to wage slaves.

Don't know it that's true. 4 years ago bought a ram 2500 loaded for 79k, bow 103k. Now use mine for work so I get to right a lot off. Ready to buy a new one. Have 267k on my current truck. Engine will run forever, but rest of truck does not. Lol

You're under the Biden regimes you're going to drive a battery powered car hahaha and like it, under the Biden regime

What would you consider a high quality truck?

The debt slaves don't care. They'll be paying for 84 months.

At least Toyota and Honda. They build reliability in. I used to take my 1997 SVT Cobra to have a master mechanic do work at the Ford dealership. They kept all their good mechanics by letting them use their bay to do side work. This kept the regular mechanics to do book jobs, to spread the money around. One day I pulled up and Roy was putting a part in a box, to ship it off. Pulling a part right out of an engine. I thought that was strange so I asked him, why are you boxing it? He said, " this part never used to fail. Now Ford want me to ship parts to them so THEY CAN ENGINEER IT TO FAIL AT 120K miles." He said "think about it. Ford could make the most reliable engine on the planet, but they want failure for 2 reasons. 1) resale on parts and service. 2) buy another vehicle. After that, I noticed that when I went to the parts department thay were crazy busy! I asked the parts manager, " man, you guys are crazy busy, what's the deal?" He actually said, " We make more in parts and service than new and used car sales." Think about this for a minute...!

Exactly 💯

My 2021ram1500 classic tradesman quad cab 4x4 v6 with lots of extras is a great simple truck no problems 🛻👍

This. Daimler-Chrysler Dodge Rams were really solid trucks. The new ones lack the longevity, for much more money.

@@barrydworak They have never had the longevity.

@edhcb9359 during their best period, when Daimler owned them, they'd pass 300,000 miles with few issues. No longer. I also have a Jeep from the era with 260k that still goes off road. Make no mistake, Fiat and Stellantis have not been good for them.

@@barrydworak Anecdotal examples aside(and can never be proven anyways) please tell me the era when any Chrysler product was typically good for 300k worry free miles? I mean, we are talking about Americas least reliable brand!

@@edhcb9359 I see that you've posted a lot of data collected from owners. No anecdotes from you, no.

Priced a well equipped stx for 53k and I thought that was 10k too high s 80k for an xl would be ridiculous

And complete junk! My best friend works at a Chevy dealer and trucks with 15,000 miles or less are coming in with blown motors or transmissions they actually have them stacked up behind the dealership!

Try 6 times too much (bucket of plastic and aluminum bolts)

@@Maheonehooestse-HolyFireMan but but LOOK at the pretty touch screen and it's got a heated steering wheel! lol

125k to do light duty shit

Exactly! Those Mavericks were supposed to be 21-25K when they rolled them out, but you never see one for under 35-40K on dealer lots.

Nothing is a deal, the best deal is fixing your old jalopy and keeping it running..

i paid 21,500😄@@shanemcandrew2443

​@@AlexMartinez-uq2yeI decided to keep drive by my 2014 GMC till the wheels fall off because of these prices

Yeah but you get backup camera.

Paid 40k for mine in 19. No way ANY truck is worth more than 50k. Especially with "planned obsolescence" becoming a business standard

@@shootermcgavin4999 it was a fixer upper haha but still

The lowest priced house in my county is $350k. It was built in 1929 is 500 sq.ft, and has an additional basement garage/workshop. It needs some work but has a lot of character. It's about an hour and a half in the mountains. The seller only wants cash.

@@KevinSmith-qi5yn where the hell is that? Cali? Haha

​@@KevinSmith-qi5ynwhere you at man?

Not true

Maybe out out all the bs sensors and gadgets and make it a simple, functional vehicle again.

@@ang3r3dv3t they do that on purpose to raise the price.

Less than the annual income? how much do you make a year? I definitely can afford a new year model every year if I wanted to, I trade about every 3 years because I get the most value that way. Yes trucks are ridiculously expensive, but some of us can actually afford them. That said, it would be nice if the prices went down, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Good. You buy it and take the hit. The people that are smart will pick up a used vehicle at a lower price. 😂

“Up to” being the key words. For you and me that would be 5%. Only unicorns get 20%.

almost got bingo, just missing a blue eye and military background

Would bending over backwards , handing over an arm and and leg, an ear, skipping rope backwards with eyes closed, climbing Mt.Everest without a jacket help?

And that’s becoming high end for a COLORADO, not a Silverado

Your totally wrong when’s the last time a top trim cost 50k

It IS a good truck, but not worth 2X what it should go for!

10,000 at best their days of greed are done...

Its no joke, better believe it. Its time to wake up.

They just add that 20% on the back end with all the bs fees and "admin" costs...

Yep. And don't forget your precious unions. All that add'l cost of operations gets passed down to the consumer.

@@twystedhumour tell me you don't know anything about unions. Without telling me. 😂

No point in explaining he’s a corporate boot licker

​@@justing6594oh, he seems to know more about them then you do. Where do you think all that extra money comes from? Labor, taxes, it all ends up in the MSRP. I know, I work at an automotive company.

Watch gov bail them out and charge us more tax

100% agree.

I remembered when Tacoma was $18k thought no way

Biden

@@bjsimon802 That man has ruined America. Bring back Trump, all is forgiven.

​@@MotorFeed I bought a 1991 Nissan Hardbody, brand new. Had it paid off in four months, owned for ten years, only had to replace the fan belt. Every day drivers are 1990 Toyota 4Runner and 1998 Chevy Astro mini-cargo van. I hope they last me another ten years into retirement.

Dude is posting click-bait, taking a page out of Scotty Kilmer's playbook...

@@TheOzthewizHe’s a douche and the only reason I’ve watched any of his videos is because I’m hoping on one of these lots to see the recently-hired-through-prison-release employee come out and “confront” him.

Imagine paying for the truck to be serviced instead of the car note

@@jackblack5579 Still under warranty, might as well risk it getting repoed, so you can at least drive it...

Yeah the host of this channel doesn’t seem to understand supply and demand very well. Prices will come down to “normal” again when suit and tie lifetime city dwellers stop thinking they need a Raptor to get laid in Chicago and LA and are willing to pay $110k to do so. Back in the 90s “when trucks were affordable and reliable” SUVs were all the rage and had all the markup while bedded trucks were still reasonable. Then we started a 20+ year war and suddenly all these non-serving soy boys decided they needed to do something to “look like a man” so they started running out and buying brand new pickup trucks that don’t have a scratch in the bed and growing out operator beards and 20 years later here we are - a new fairly base model F-150 will run you $65k and instead of auto manufacturers focusing on reducing prices for traditional trucks they’re all focused on developing more expensive and less reliable battery-powered toy trucks that nobody wants but the government says we have to have.

Junk!

Good luck with your pos 4cyl useless “truck”

​@@roguesovereignrogue9124 right ? These engines are dogshit

I like my 2022 2.7 Custom 1500 Trail Boss no problem with the drive train so far with 48000 kms.

Used prices are trash and lemons are everywhere. There is no winning right now.

I bought my first house in 1992 for $89,000.00. That might pay for a new truck nowadays.

@@user-vj9hy8dw9e 1971 Chevy S10, my area, runs good nice patina $4500, damm I'm tempted this weekend😜

@@user-vj9hy8dw9e I get what you are saying but I was able to get a 2016 silverado used with low milelage for around 10,000 in the pass year.

@@user-vj9hy8dw9eI buy 10 year old, full sized NA v6 or v8 gas trucks for my business. Ideally used fleet vehicles because they have a full car fax service record Out the door for less than 15k, runs and drives. Usually just have to replace brakes, tires, belts, fluids, suspension You could buy one of these trucks 5x over and still be winning compared to a new financed truck

Oh , they'll go down providing people stop buying the overpriced trucks !

"We"? Got a frog in your pocket?

Agreed. We've seen such inflated pricing that we'll likely never see true value again. Trucks with the same engines as 2019 are what, $20k or more higher and are essentially the same truck!? And it's weird where market forces would dictate to discount them and sell them they're holding on with gritted teeth. Discounting a $70k truck to $50k that you sold for $40k just a couple of years ago isn't really discounting.

They will when ignorant people stop buying them!

@@UncleJoeHikes But the truck didn't sell for "$40k just a couple of years ago."

No, the golden rule is acting accordingly to supply and demand.

They can write off the loss on their taxes.

Selling them at auction hides the true condition of the auto industry from the public.

@@MotorFeed Oh crap, thats also very true. what a sad state the auto industry is in

It's coming as long as everyone refuses to pay these ridiculous prices. Honestly 80 percent of the population can't afford to buy a new vehicle at the moment

STX are basic models. Above an XL , below an XLT

My last one was 2013 Ram 5.7 Hemi 4x4 for 32,000. I paid cash for it. I have 150,000 miles on it. I will milk it for as possible. Still running good.

2007 scion tc. 160k mi. Runs like a champ even tho it's been in two accidents with non insured drivers.... make sure to get good insurance for older cars or your company will write it off...

Any time! It was also 16 degrees outside. 😂

If you adjust for inflation you Def can. My scion was 16k in 2007. 16k now is almost 28k....

I'm definitely working on other videos beyond this style. Those just take more time. I tried going deep with data a few times and those videos just don't get many views. Blame peoples short attention span I guess.

You can always stop watching and choose another channel perhaps offering a wider field of things to nit-pick gripe about.

​@@MotorFeed-- I, for one, am happy with the coverage, although I do wonder about these same issues with vehicles that aren't trucks. (I saw an e-Transit sitting on Lithia's lot the other day -- I wonder what its prospects are in January.)

@@MotorFeedyour content is great. Ignore the hate

Interesting opinion. Please show us your vlogs for the last 3 years expanding on your ideas.

And You Have A Better Built Truck Not To Mention Cheaper Insurance 😊😊😊

Bought my son a 2004 F150. Still has it and on major repair was transmission rebuilt at 150k plus. Engine doesn’t smoke and is quiet. Regular maintenance

@@lamarcutts2511 a 2011 is rotted by now anywhere that uses salt on roads

Basically.

Those interest rates are there to try to bring down prices. The idea is, if people find it hard to pay for these expensive things, then supposedly prices will come down to meet where the customer can afford. But companies have been holding out just hoping for some sucker to pay full price.

Manufactures only sell basic trim to fleet dealers. You can get way better prices there...

The people who are driving them.😂😂😂

It’s more like truck sales have fallen off the last few months and dealers are panicking and trying to make some deals. The fallout has just begun. So yes, the truck market just died. Is this the end of price reductions and deals? Absolutely not. Cmon now.

@@tylersaltmarsh9025I guess we have very different definitions of Dead. I thought Dead meant Dead but here it seams to mean prices have started to fall off.

Dead means nobody is buying them. And the dealers would rather suction the trucks to other dealers than sell and affordable truck.

Must be in Texas. Ridiculous.

That's the truest statement people will read today. Most of these truck buyers never haul or tow anything. It's just a fashionable statement

Yep it's just a status symbol.

​@@Pantera972They have become the male version of a diamond ring or Coach bag.

"of your worth", or insecurity? 😅

Yeah, paying $40K for a $20K truck is above and beyond being STUPID!

But, but, but, it has stuff.

That's what affordable seems to mean nowadays

Thanks! Will do!

Ask How Much To Replace A Taillight Or Even Worse A Headlight. And These Two Items Are Usually Blown Or Inoperative Within 8-13 Months After Purchase...

🤣

Ya. These are not "flying off the shelves". It's a load of bull.

Some dealerships don’t do commission anymore. I like to shop at those

Maybe oil field money from a 20 year old that doesn’t know any better

Actually the people I see driving TRX, raptors and the like are being bought by rich foreigners, mainly Hispanics with drug money..

All the YT ads are annoying, but are you going to pay a MONTHLY fee for ad free videos? I'm NOT!!

Yeah, adblock is kickass, you should check it out

It depends. My 1999 dodge looks perfect but the wires are broken. I have a 1997 7.3 f350 and it needed two engines in its life.. no car is perfect

AGREE 100%!

This guy could be the NEXT Scotty Kilmer. He's doing a good job of creating click bait!

The new Land Cruiser is a huge win for Toyota! Got my eye on it as well.

You bought a piece of junk, grats

My 1999 dodge 1500 4x4 needs a 5k wire harness and another 7k in labor. My 2007 scion tc was just in an accident with a uninsured driver. My insurance won't cover wither repair. You can't win with cars unless you can get an older vehicle that has been taken care of. But those prices are staring to go back up. Expect 15k for a 30 year old truck
