If you put a tool box in the bed of a short-bed truck - it will eat up the space such that you don’t have much usable bed area left.

I bought a 2019 Ram BigHorn 5.7 brand new for 36k to 39k in late 2018 i think. same truck itty bitty differences and its 2 or 3 times the price. It's for sure greed taking over. I highly doubt stuff started getting more expensive to build a truck where they had to tack on 40k plus. Mostly to line the higher ups pockets at the end of the day.

[@Karrpilot]

Do an article on Harley Davidson. You'll find 2 years old units on the showroom floor that they still want full list price on. If not more. In addition to that, you'll find aftermarket bling, not Harley Davidson parts, installed. As well as the markups to reflect that.

[@norompaslasguindas]

I warmed up to the bmw cruisers

[@boaterman]

Yea well Harley Davidson riders (99%) will still buy it since they think those bikes are the greatest thing to hit the market

[@pontiacperformance1993]

Ram has 2023 models that’s nothing my dealership still had 5 2022 rams

[@MrAlski6]

Good time to buy. I just got a 25 RAM 4x4 for 36k. That's about 30% off MSRP.

[@tomseddio1995]

The quality is so terrible on every manufacturer now that lot rot is a real thing to look for. The dealers are now marking up also by spraying undercoating to cover the rust and convince the customer that it's a really good thing. Look for fresh undercoating, it's apparent and a disguise.

[@S_Patty0331]

My mom bought her brand new 2009 Ram Crew cab for 40,000…. Now you’re paying 70-80+ for the same trim level!

[@matrixist]

Domestic trucks ALWAYS sold at 20% below msrp. When did people forget that??

[@geocam2]

I see $60,000 jeep pickup trucks with $11,000 dealer givebacks. So now it costs $49,000. We're still at $1000+ payments for 7 years with current rates.

[@2ndAmendment-Jeffrey]

I haven't seen any discounts on Ram trucks other than a couple grand off for incentives. The dealers act like nothings going on.

[@gahvno]

I'll just join in the chorus here. When the prices drop by 40 to 50%, that's when I might start looking again.

[@user-qt5eh9wb7g]

Lol, get comfortable....

[@Hhbdr]

I paid 30k for a red Colorado in 2018. Work truck "custom" looks just like a z71. V6. Z71 mags. Extra cab, full bed. 4x4. Perfect truck. Had 17k mi. 59k now. Keepin it forever.

[@duanewood2329]

I was at a Ram dealer in Indianapolis getting my 2015 1500 repaired. I walked the lot and they still had new unsold 2022 trucks there.

[@dannydanko4627]

Stellantis CEO despises muscle cars, thats why theyre destroying the brand and got rid of the hellcat for an EV. Also why they wouldnt sell it back the the chrysler family, its not about money to them.

[@Tamjam2011]

They do because the original owners sold out America to foreigners. Money mattered more than their own legacies. Pathetic.

@@JohnS-il1dr because they were for sale on ny's exchange and they wanted to.

My 2 cents. My DD is an 04 Toyota Tacoma, manual transmission with 300k miles on the original engine. I do my own work on it because it’s super easy, especially with YT readily accessible, and it’s an insanely reliable and fun truck! Go with the older models! If you need a bigger pickup, get the Tundra variant!

[@DashiellParr411]

These large corporations have forgotten the law of economics. Do that at your own peril.

[@gorkyd7912]

The corporations don't control inflation they just experience it. Can't lower prices because the costs are already up 60%. But can't keep prices high because the consumer is broke. Nothing they can do. They milked the free stimulus money while they could, they would have been stupid not to, but the money is gone. If they didn't raise prices and milk it they would still be in this exact same position just with less money in the bank.

Except taxpayers are on the hook lol

[@Redbullz23]

Every year they put a new bumper and grill and charge 2500-5000 more dollars, for like last 10 years almosr…. Absolutely insane

[@pacificdragon1]

These car manufacturers have to realize that consumers only have so much money to go around.

[@toddprater14]

No one has any money for a car payment anymore , groceries are the new car payment

[@AyaWetts]

@@toddprater14 Just me an my roommate together are spending like $500 a month in groceries for us, and trying to keep the price low... we could easily be spending more. I'd hate to see the current bills of a large family with kids.

@@AyaWetts I spend about that a month.I’m single I take 900 a month for mad money (225 a week) I put 70 in my truck I spend 30 on smokes and the remaining 125 a week on food at grocery store… I can’t imagine families food cost either gotta be 1000 plus a month…. My rent utilities,truck insurance internet is like 1400 so 1400+900 monthly spending money =2300 minimum…I can save decent money cause I don’t have a 1000 truck payment and another 100 a month for increased insurance…. Only way you can make it and live below your means is to stay away from car payments..

[@TheNclandbroker]

There is no collapse. The manufacturers are carefully anaging their inventory levels. The early 2000s days of every dealer having 100+ trucks sitting on the lots to choose from and $10k+ discounts off MSRP are long gone.

[@UAkovalchuk]

Dealers treated us customers with greed and disrespect!!! Now they have to pay the price!!

[@michalp2362]

Reminds me 2007/2008 when trucks were 40-50% off MSRP due to low demand and $147 per barrel.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

Those that need a vehicle, typically buy used. Those that want a vehicle, buy new! Then there are those folks, who have to keep up with the Joneses!

[@bigEproductions100]

I bought a new 2023 f-150 xl super crew for $40k last year. Base model. 2.7l with vinyl seats and floors. Great truck. Originally I wanted to buy a used truck. But trucks with 50k+ miles were selling for the exact same price as a new base model. The market is just so insane

[@mvc2177]

It’s simple, if prices went up 58%, bring them down 58%

[@gorkyd7912]

Everything went up 60%. Prices aren't coming down. The profits were temporary post-stimulus spending but the spending is gone, the easy money is gone, the wages are up, all the other expenses are up, and they're already losing money.

Agree! I bought my 2019 F150 XLT FX4 3.5L TT new from dealer as a left over as new models rolled into the lot. Got it for 40k new!! I immediately had 3rd party do a wax undercoat protection for road salt protection. I’ve run highest octane fuel and full synthetic oil since day one. Had phaser issue taken care of on warranty 2 years ago… runs like a dream! Expect to run this another 8-10 years at least while I save cash to buy next vehicle, which will most likely be some kind of Hybrid, once they solve the range issues for rural cold weather environments with new battery technologies.

Yes. Line go up, line go down. Specifically, consumer savings go up with free stimmy money, consumer savings go down with inflation.

From January to September 2024. Ford F-series sales are up 8.10 percent, Chevrolet Silverado are up 0.16, Toyota Tundra up 26.79. But Ram Pickup is down 19.18.

[@waynelytton7517]

Where did these folks get the idea"Oh, we aren't selling hot dog at $1.00, let's raise the price to $5.00 that will increase sales."

[@gorkyd7912]

Well first of all they sold millions of hotdogs at $5 already. Secondly the cost of the hotdog is $4 now so there's no point selling for $3 it's better to just go bankrupt.

[@Upsidedowndog27]

My grandpa drove a ford platinum for YEARS. He had a blue one for a long time and then got a new white one, but he decided recently to switch to a GMC. I don’t know exactly why he switched but my guess is that he was tired of not only the ridiculous prices, but tired of all the recalls he had to deal with with his ford. It seems like every month he had some little part of his truck that had a recall and he had to bring it in to correct it. The one I remember the best was a tiny little part where the seatbelt connects to the seat. He was fed up.
