Dealers SCREWED Truck Buyers... Now They're Paying The Price!

[@martincarnahan381]

I thought about trading in my F150 a few years ago and when I saw the prices I said they are out of their minds. So instead of getting a new truck I took the perfectly fine 2007 model and sunk 7 thousand dollars on having the engine gone completely over , a new paint job and rhino liner. The truck looks better now than it did when I bought it. I'm good for another 10-15 years.

About time people stop and start saying no to high payments. It’s sad though that long gone are the days when the average person (if they wanted) could afford a new truck. The games they play to get people in front of a sales rep is disgusting too, like saying $5-10k off of sticker price and when asked on their show floor they have an excuse for it only applying to one particular model and say they don’t have any that qualify. Gotta turn and walk away when any dealer plays games…and they will!

[@charlesharnois3684]

Did my Sunday morning drive around, dealerships in my area, and I mean all brands, are loaded with inventory! Let em' choke on them! Much truth to your report thanks!

[@chuckasarus]

I can’t wait to see when they add the tariff of 25% to all the vehicles that are made in Mexico and brought over how much they are going to increase. It’ll probably be shocking at least.

[@graybailey6015]

Don't think it will matter much.Nobody is buying now.

[@Tylnorton]

It will only hurt the manufacturers. That's their fault for going to cheap and selling poorly built vehicles overpriced.

[@lucken13]

My 2006 Chevy Silverado with suicide doors and a 7 ft bed, can’t be replace with new crap!!!! Only has 175000 on it at 19 yrs of age!!!! 2023 I invested 3600 into updating suspension and that is the only major work on it!!!!!

[@lanehammer]

EPA is to blame period! Toyota Honda Nissan Would NEVER give up reliability unless the EPA meddled …

[@Tylnorton]

EPA? Nah still their fault for insane markups.

[@ex8280]

Still with my 2000 Tacoma, just put in 500 in OEM parts and spoiled myself with a grand worth of tools.

[@brandonpittman5243]

I’m one of the people that can actually afford it but I just don’t see the point of pissing money away for no more than what you are getting

[@len8336]

same here.

[@brandonpittman5243]

@ I wouldn’t even pay half of what they are asking. I have a neighbor he paid 45k for a 21 trd pro low miles last year. His wife got sick and went out of work and the best dealer price he was ordered was 31k he still owed 38 k he had to go in his retirement to pay it down a extra 5k before it sold. I like new trucks I could use one but u just can’t see spending that kind of money for what I would use it for.

[@timbermen11]

Same here. Not spending my money on plastic and electronic garbage

[@tatemushroom1002]

​@timbermen11 id rather have a old cateye or 4.6 f150

[@brandonpittman5243]

@ I got a 05 2500 6.0 cat eye I’ve had since 2010 no issues not even brakes yet

[@gauravbathija6783]

Very generous of you to say 'people are voting with their pocketbooks'. That assume people are actively making that decision. But the truth is the decision has been made for them by the prices. People are still trying to buy at these crazy prices but they just can't afford to. 1 out 5 auto loans are being rejected by banks right now

[@isackville]

Here in the UK the prices are falling very quickly there are some outstanding deals to have.

[@enzoh7763]

Until you walk into their showroom . Its just a show , To entice you to walk into the snake pit. , Then the bite is next .

[@glpdrum]

You have made a very insightful observation, which is the concept of “tool.” My truck, an ’08 F150 WT, is essentially a tool that enables me to earn a living. Despite its modest appearance and limited features, it has proven to be a valuable asset, enabling me to earn approximately $1.3 million over the past 17 years. While it may not be suitable for a family vehicle and has sustained some scars, it remains relatively reliable in transporting me to the job site. Therefore, I find it unnecessary to trade it. If a manufacturer were to produce a new reliable full-size long bed pickup truck priced at $30,000 or less, I would be willing to consider purchasing it for work purposes. If not, I will keep repairing the one I have and keep my money in the bank.

[@Colonel1Bravo]

I don’t want an electric vehicle, nor do I want a weak motor that gets all of its power from a couple of turbos. I want a real motor

[@boduke9428]

I thought that also until i test drove one. I bought a first year Ecoboost. I've not bought another v8 truck since and won't. The sound is all i miss but the extra power and economy makes up for it in spades. I've had better luck durability wise also. That original Ecoboost i bought had 321000 miles on it when it was totaled.

[@Colonel1Bravo]

@@boduke9428 that’s good and I’m glad you are happy with it. I drive a 2004 F150 with the dreaded 5.4 Triton and I’m so thankful for it. I also daily drive my jeep rubicon that has a 392 engine in it. I enjoy it and the only other vehicle I really enjoyed was my Ram 3500 single rear wheel with the high output Cummins straight 6 but I don’t have it anymore. Loved that truck

[@MrDlt123]

My 2011 F-150 5.0 S-Crew has been paid off since 2015. Still going strong at 230K. No way in H I'll ever pay $80K for a truck.

[@SpaceSpiderX]

I love how you do these videos with a straight face. Personally, I was laughing the whole time. You are one greats.

[@LazzarrusLong]

???

[@boduke9428]

​@@LazzarrusLongbecause everyone is making these videos talking about how dealers are trying to pay people to take new vehicles but in real life nobody is seeing these discounts.

[@jaredchampagne2752]

Hes just an actor, the sky is falling!, just to get clicks lol

[@mikeg6666]

​@@boduke9428Still not funny though , what kind of lame humor is that 😐

[@danielbrown9368]

We have a 2012 F350 with the common poor but livable turning radius. We have a 2014 F450 with an insanely good turning radius. Both were in the 60k range, and both have leather seats and extra options. Very nice. We decided to get a new F450 to maximize tax savings, and we got a 2022 after Covid. It was significantly more expensive, so we downgraded the features to the bare minimum. The quality overall is trash. The turning radius is even worse than the 2012 F350.

[@theduckthatquacks6445]

still waiting on a SINGLE ebay sale at my store since 12/11/24.. WORST CHRISTMAS SEASON IN 22 YRS & I lost stock , time & money in Nov!

[@fix-hb1561]

Excellent info keep it coming.

[@JustAverageJeff]

Cheapest diesel I could find was $900 a month if you had 740 credit which I do not so the cheapest monthly price I can find online is $1,100 and when I went to Ford to try and buy a used 23 F350 HO 6.7L for $56k they wanted $1,500 a month. So if you have perfect credit you can get into a truck for less than a $1,000 a month and won’t be too hard for gas but good luck if you don’t have good credit.

[@KatFishKing1972]

I have over 740 credit but sadly I still can't afford

[@JustAverageJeff]

@ 50% of people financing can’t afford it.

[@amputeemarksman]

I have a 2014 Tundra. Looked at new Tundra's and a few Chevy and GMs. Crazy prices and the trucks are all plastic and look cheap. Walked away and dumped a few thousand into my Tundra and decided to keep driving it. I had it detailed, seat covers, LED headlights and taillights, tires , battery and a few other things. I would have spent more in sales tax if I went with a new truck and you can't beat the 5.7L.

[@brendonwilliams4050]

Hurry up and get one if you need one. Prices will only go up as the new tariffs are phased in.

[@fredsausage8794]

Possibly for a short time, eventually you'll see more moving back to the U.S. for production.

[@bradmizzou]

Nope, let em sit.

[@Tylnorton]

That's not what's going to happen lol.

[@jeffwhite3021]

Agree on how huge of a disappointment the Tundra is. No neat tailgate, reduced turning radius not even comfortable to drive compared to the chevy and ford.

[@SaratogaontheAT]

These manufacturers kinda forced Americans into these massive vehicles through marketing. It's become the "Soccer Mom' trophy vehicle. It is not uncommon to see a mom driving one of these massive vehicles down the street with no one else in the vehicle and the truck bed is so clean you can eat off it. They don't need these trucks. Instead they are just trying to keep up with the Jones's. The other demographic age group that drives these vehicles is retiree's who are living their childhood dream now that they have some money in their pocket. But their own bodies have quit years ago. Just look for yourself. The biggest, nicest tricked out trucks are driven by old geezers with "Handicap Parking Permits" hanging off the mirror and they keep their folding walkers in the cab. They won't dare put the walker in the bed because it might scratch the bed or they just won't be able to retrieve it and the truck makers have noticed. That is why they offer these modified tailgates that open up into stairs. But the average middle aged working man is completely priced out of these. The manufactures learned years ago that is doesn't matter what the vehicle costs. What matters is what the vehicle payment is each month. For almost the past 20 years interest rates were historically below average. Instead of the buyer benefiting this. The dealers just kept raising prices and now my friend the Party is OVER. That goes for everything that is purchased on credit in the U.S. including; Houses, Appliances, RV's, 2nd homes, boats and yes even worthless College Educations for most people. Colleges have been quietly closing across the country. A college education is only worth the job and salary it can provide. If there are no jobs then it is worthless. What kind of job can a 4 year college prepare you for with a $200,000 tuition for a Liberal Arts Degree or a 4 year degree in "Women's Studies"? I am afraid things are about to get a lot worse in this country and it is not because of the newly elected administration. Simply put, it's too late. The damage has been done. $36 Trillion in National Debt. We are are third world country now. Sure there will be stimulus checks coming, tax cuts coming and they will feel good for a while. But this will only add to the debt. As for tariffs on imported goods. NEWS FLASH: A country that has tariffs put on them do not pay the tariff, YOU DO, the consumer. And what became of Obamacare, free healthcare for everyone. Well now more people than ever go without any healthcare and those that do have healthcare pay a huge portion of their wages just to keep it. Finally and in closing. There is no way in hell the US Government aka The Taxpayer should dare give a bailout (Again) to the Auto Manufacturing Industry. They learned nothing from the last Bailout. But that won't stop them from trying. BTW: How does a CEO for Stellantis justify a $40 million Dollar Salary last year after almost destroying his business?

[@Dadpack022]

thanks for the updates! When u mentioned the inconsistancies and lack of quality fitment, you werent lyin!! I receieve new Fords and GMs all the time and every ford has major issues. gaps everywhere and the no symitry at all! evey tailgate is way off! sad that the us market is all about quantity over quality..

When will the 2025 tacoma trd off road 4x4 be mark down to $32,000 😎

[@mobius-1503]

Give us a standard V8. 2 or 4WD with a limited detroit rear diff. Good trans. Roll up windows for the base model. Tow package, gauges that monitor trans and eng temp. Dont need a stupid battery monitor. not plastic bumpers..and theyll have truck sales.

[@seanhammer6296]

The reason the price of everything going up is due to the value of the dollar going down. That happens when the govt prints money out of thin air: deficit spending. The US budget deficit is $1.9 TRILLION. YA, trillion per year. Do you even know what a trillion is?🙄

[@etoradamaley4713]

So it's not simply greed? You'll learn you

[@seanhammer6296]

@etoradamaley4713 I'll learn me? Wtf is that supposed to mean?

[@waynefisher7694]

a turbo'ed 4 banger sucks in a truck because it has no torque compared to a large CID engine. You need torque in a truck in order to pull or haul. No replacement for displacement.

[@Drohead20]

lol go look at his thumbnails. You will see “it’s over” like 5 times lol.

[@cmiles97x38]

I have a 2018 Tundra and if I ever replace it won't be with the failing engine and poor quality new Tundra especially at those high prices! Sadly there isn't a new 1/2 ton truck I trust for long term reliability anymore.

[@m-ok-6379]

Tacoma is the biggest heart break out of this whole mess.

It is. There's no way I'd buy a fourth gen Tacoma right now, due to price and questionable reliability.
