Big Trucks Big Lies: Manipulated To Go Broke

[@berict]

I can't wait to get into a 100k Ford with 28% I interest for 400 months. Might as well start sleeping on the sidewalk.

[@SultanOfSuede]

had an f-150 for 9 years. low mileage, 74k miles before it gave up the ghost. it wouldn't start one day and after checking battery, had it towed to my local ford dealership. i used that dealership for 7 years for scheduled maintenance. it sat on the lot for 5 weeks and they were never going to work on it. this is in a town where trucks are very popular and i was fine for paying for repairs, but they couldn't even get a mechanic to look at it for diagnostics and an estimate. i eventually talked to the toyota dealer service manager and he said in passing, "we would never let a customer have a truck with us that long without doing the work." i had the truck towed to him and eventually used as a trade-in for a toyota. the f-150 was not heavily used -- i got it mostly to do some towing of a large mower and hauling. didn't do much of either. the f-150 had to be towed years before when the engine overheated. apparently a gasket seal was defective and the dealer charged me $110 to replace since it was not under warranty. i'm still flabbergasted that an f-150 with low mileage and not much wear couldn't get basic service. my brother had the same issue with his f-150 -- it was one with a nice trim package. a/c went TU and the dealer wanted to charge 2100 to remove the front console/dashboard to replace an issue that had been reported in the forums. i've always been a honda/toyota man and i will never, ever buy another american owned piece of shit ever again. toyota is already heading down the tubes as well. it's so sad that small bare bones pickup like we had in the 80s and 90s is just off the table and all we have are these stupid vehicles that normal hardworking people cannot afford. i make a good income and am blessed. totally shocked at what i had to pay to get my toyota. it feels like the system is trying to end car ownership altogether through incompetence, greed and malice. american car companies will get bailed out again for stupid shit like the lightening which i knew was going to be an epic fail

[@CasperChicago]

You are not the only person (American) to have gripes with the legacy auto manufacturer dealership system. Dealerships charging over the MSRP is normal business for dealers. The primary reason I bought a Tesla was because I did not have to deal with add-ons from a dealership!!! Yes, I like electric vehicles, but I hate,...I loath dealing with dealerships.

[@ronl1633]

@@CasperChicago We all hate stelerships. My nephew sells cars and has good and bad days., But the owner of his dealership has so much money he belongs to two Private golf clubs in the city, just because! it's a sign of the times. I'm disgusted at the money some make and let others suffer as they work 55 hours a week! Here in Canada the working class is poor and has nothing left after food and shelter. Oh and that truck payment.

If you hate big trucks you will really hate mine...1986 Chevy 1-ton 4X4 crew cab with a fire breathing 500 ft. Lb. Torque big block 454 engine.

[@CasperChicago]

I have a problem with people who consider a chrome tricked-out truck as a "symbol of maleness". I am an old guy. Back in the 1900s trucks were considered a tool like a tractor.

[@curtg7396]

Everytime I see one of these giant brand new trucks I chuckle to myself thinking about how moronic the person driving must be to pay so much for a stinkin pickup truck.😂

[@JetSkiSuper7]

And he may feel the same about someone paying over $100k for a death trap Tesla. I know people who own expensive cars, trucks, boats, homes and as it’s a free country, I giveZeroFCKS. Keep chuckling to yourself, you sound like a complete weirdo.

[@PrepperDawg]

You are correct, the American sedan is dying quickly. One day, the only choice of a new vehicle will be overpriced SUV's and trucks. Majority of these huge trucks are only being used as people and grocery haulers. I bet you could get a good deal on one of those Mazda 3s. I like the CX-50s too.

[@rowyerboat8648]

I didn’t realize they had the Mazda 3 with a manual. It’s going to have to go on the short list.

[@revnation_auto]

Yep, it’s a great setup.

[@Dgeppert]

We have a small horse ranch in Montana and need two full-size pickups. The F-150 is a great highway vehicle (23 mpg) and can carry light cargo, and the F-250 can handle any of our five different trailers. It is the real workhorse of the ranch. No use for a car.

[@revnation_auto]

You have an actual reason to own a full-size truck. Vast majority of folks don’t. Zero issues with real truck use.

[@ptw2408]

I am socially engineered to buy a lightweight 2 door truck with a long bed. But the auto lobbyists did their best to make them illegal so I will just get a motorcycle and rent a U-Haul when I buy something large. Eff the automakers.

[@larsiversen1899]

I totally agree with you. The Mazda brand is really good quality built vehicles, and in particular the Mazda 3. And the Road manners and handling is way superior to any Pick Up Truck or SUV. But people just wants these "Tanks" to show off, or sit higher, which gives them the perception of being more secure, but the Crash tests tells another story. The sad story of these compact Sedans / Hatchbacks is that they are slowly but surely being phased out due to poor sales.

[@davidrmcmahon]

Mum has a 2018 Mazda 2, only a 1.5 but 115hp and is fine for a compact. The Red is "Soul Red Crystal Metallic" and is a sought after colour here in the UK. Mum's 1.5 has no turbo and manual gearbox and even handbrake (parking brake) so simple for a modern car. Even the battery still has opening filler caps to top up with distilled water.

[@uo2230]

Well my 06 CVPI cost me 2400 in 2019. I've driven it 75k and did a few repairs. About 1k in repairs and yes I can do my own maintenance etc. Still I'm way ahead and the car runs great no way I'm buying anything else.

[@CharlesWilson-zs3vd]

I like the hatch back too. I have a 94 Ranger splash, and a 2014 Lincoln mks. Paid for, and not looking anytime soon.

[@sabastian4858]

I pull a 10,000lb trailer almost everyday. None of these cars would work for my business. I require a 2500/3500 truck with a diesel motor. I would consider a Mazda 3 for running to the store and around town.

[@revnation_auto]

You’re a legit truck owner my friend. Vast majority of folks have no real use for one. I have a 04 ford ranger 6ft bed. I used it 2-3 times a week hauling recycling and moving furniture. Tools for jobs. Mazda6 gets 38mpg hwy, daughter drives the snot out of it. 9 years 170k miles, still runs perfectly.

[@sabastian4858]

@revnation_auto That's awesome. We also have an 09 Edge and use it for the grocery getter. Only 15mpg city with the Edge makes that Mazda look good.

[@sprint2648]

Gas 3/4 ton would pull 10,000lbs just fine.

[@MrMotivation247]

I am a recovering Truck owner, lol I now drive a paid for 2016 Nissan Sentra. If I purchase another vehicle it will be a small SUV, like Buicks, or Mazda cx 5, or cx 50. I am 6 feet tall and need to sit higher now with a bad back with age. What’s crazy is we can rent trucks with ease now from U-Haul or Car rental companies to use for the day or extended periods of time. Everything cost more for pickup trucks including taking thru the car wash. Thank God I will never buy another full size truck my bank account shows it.

[@tompekarna]

How do you know the time on the lot? IS there a date on the window placard?

[@revnation_auto]

I have access to dealership info through my side business. Shows the dates they were legally available for sale I.e. “on lot”. You can see this information on CarEdge through a paid account as well. I can’t guarantee their accuracy though.

[@squadawg]

So, is this a Mazda commercial? The question is, what fuels will be available in 10 years.

[@paulm6481]

I have a Tacoma and it can do most things I want a truck to do. It hauls stuff to dumpster. Brings loads from Home Depot. Gets me to my corporate job weekdays. It’s not fast. It doesn’t have a great ride. But it has 4x4 and in three years I haven’t had one problem with it.

[@steve-r4o5k]

Good video. Logical and reasonable. I'm glad to see evidence that others think like I do. My wife and I have owned four Ford Fusion sedans over the years. I was shocked and pissed off when Ford decided to quit making sedans. I like sedans with naturally aspirated engines. I cringe when I see so many people driving SUVs and big trucks. Everyone seems to want to follow the crowd. I will definitely consider a Mazda 3 when it comes time to replace one of our cars.

[@lanky-x782]

I think you're misunderstanding the calls for sub 20k to 25k cars and from whom. Men are asking for them as cheap practical reliable transportation to and from work and will buy them but oem's and dealers don't want to build them and dealers won't stock them because they don't make enough profit per sale. Ex: where I live the kia dealers aren't stocking the base lx optioned kia k4. Can't buy them if nobody will stock them. Same with manual transmissions. Oem's say people don't buy sticks but kind of hard to buy a stick when the oem won't make a stick. Think about it. When you buy a manual transmission car the oem doesn't charge for the transmission on the window sticker. It considered part of the build. Buy a car with an automatic transmission, even if a stick is not available as an option on that model, they still charge you for the transmission. And women say they want a sub 20k to 25k vehicle but they want the 6000 pound chevy suburban to be sub 25k because no self respecting princess would be caught dead in a kia rio. Women think they deserve the "luxury" on a dunkin donuts paycheck. What oems have done is instead of building a life-long custoner through multiple sales over the life of the customer, they have decided to make one sale in the life of the customer and get the profit from multiple sales into one sale.

[@brucesheehe6305]

Trucks - Jeeps hold their value. They don't depreciate as fast - anything with a standard type of frame. A thought to consider. That truck is a white work truck for a working man. 8-foot bed will haul a ton of tools or cargo. Everyone needs a smaller grocery getter for running around town.

[@hothmobile100]

I disagree. I see lots of people where I live buying those used imported Keitora vehicles from Japan for only 4 to 7k instead of overpriced American market cars. About the taxes….Yeah, the 4,000 pages long tax code is mostly to benefit upper incomes but there’s a little benefits in there for all individually owned businesses. A little scraps that some special interests threw us. They will never close loopholes because it’s useful to people who donate to lawmaker campaigns. (Like carried interest for hedge fund managers).
