[@johannjohann6523]

It wouldn't be so bad if the cars included a bathroom and kitchen. You still can't even get a decent OEM stereo these days from car manufacturers when you spend $50,000. It's still an "Option"from the Dealership. But you do get a Touchscreen that doesn't retract. That's always helpful with MPG and in an accident. lol (It's probably what caused the accident.) lol If Apes can work buttons, why can't humans?

[@NGMonocrom]

Amazes me that Ford's CEO basically _just_ figured out that Working class, blue-collar guys, can't afford $70,000+ Work trucks. Seriously? Talk about delusional. And, anyone who CAN afford a truck for that much money, sure as heck isn't looking to buy a basic Work truck.

[@churchking2527]

I think the cost of regulations (and EV mandates) is forcing their hand. They are hiding the extra costs under luxury features. The noise and emissions regulations are forcing them to make smaller and smaller turbo engines, that are unreliable and under powered.

[@ECPP]

Exactly but it’s greed, period

[@GannDolph]

Exactly it's GREED. They don't want to make a true cheap work truck with hand crank windows, vinyl seats, steel rims , no radio , no ac etc. And in reality nobody wants to buy that truck either. The "work truck" is dead..

[@NGMonocrom]

@@GannDolph Add a radio. Add A/C so the Worker in the work truck can work during the Summer months, and everyone who needs a REAL work truck will happily buy one. Ford will easily make profits in volume on their Work trucks.... Like they used to during most of the time the company has been in existence.

[@churchking2527]

@@GannDolph I don't think they can. Backup camera's are mandatory now. It's not the car manufactures, it's overregulated. Mix that in with the "Cheap Money" mentality of the 2020's, and you have overpriced luxury everything, with cheap mechanical parts to compensate.

But that's not just a "Pick'em up Truck". That's a special Ford Pick 'em up Truck. There's a difference. Just ask CEO Jim Farley. No relation to Chris Farley. The one with talent.

[@ECPP]

Yes it is

[@phillipblount5541]

@@baqi9 That's my guess. Also getting ready to starve people.

[@JamesAgans]

Farley screwed up big time by not understanding what his main audience was. I am a 78 year old Ford pickup driver. My first was a 1960 F250 2wd, with a three speed manual transmission which I got by doing some concrete flat work. The target price for a middle of the line pickup truck should be around $40,000 today, in my opinion. $70k is so far out of reach to most people that it is not even funny.

[@marksmith8928]

I did the math. A 1958 Imperial limosine, which I admit, does not have all the electronics that are available today, translates to $65,000 in today's money, which will get you a basic pick up truck. Automobile manufacturers and consumers are both broken. It can't continue forever.

[@ECPP]

True

[@donaldpiper9763]

Every automotive company that builds pick up trucks price their trucks the same price. Hell Toyota Tundra doesn’t even build a heavy duty diesel pickup and their top model is $ 111,000 dollars. You can buy a regular cab Ford two wheel drive work truck for $40,000 though.

[@ebobbyclaire]

Better yet. How about being a car company, that doesn't make cars? I think CEO Jim Farley got his college education in Russia at the Vladimir Putin Mother Russia Polytechnik University of Automobile Marketing and Engineering. Russia's finest number 1 college. Because Russia is known for building some of the world's top automobiles (and tanks).

[@fredonia81]

You bring up a good point that I personally have been thinking for years now. Why are we as a society going bigger and heavier vehicles when a wise man would think that we should be going to smaller more efficient vehicles? What happened to the CAFE standards? The big auto companies are profiting big time by creating the illusion of BIG costs more! Some argue that people want those oversized SUV's and Trucks! the truth is can't find many well equipped sedans or wagons anymore. All the effort and focus is SUV's and pick up Trucks. There is something seriously wrong here!!

[@nightwolf9723]

CAFE standards are making vehicles bigger. To meet the standard, the vehicles have to get 45-50+ mpg... But if you make the vehicles a little bit bigger, they only have to get 27-35 mpg. As the standards get stricter, the vehicles will get bigger.

When is "enough" - "Enough"? Trump and Musk are the only 2 billionaires in the world that actually still stand up for what is Right. And believe even the little people deserve a voice. The rest? Could help so many people, yet hoard their money and do nothing. Because most billionaires think "there are too many (poor) people in the world and I should do something about it - by not helping them. 1 Billion. 20 Billion. 50 Billion. And yet they still need "More". Bill Gates has a "Charity". It's just a "Loophool" for his assets so he doesn't have to pay "taxes". He doesn't have enough money to pay taxes. Besides, he's "Special" from you and me and shouldn't have to pay taxes. Bill Gates donates most of his money to colleges and businesses trying to "genetically modify everything", and to Abortion clinics. Joy. That really helps society. But Your comment is "on target". Except one thing. Nobody is making any money at the moment. Ooops. That's what DEI will do to you everytime. "No Profits - Just Failure". Kinda like "Stupidity". But with ample amounts of evil one can overcome stupidity. lol Peace. (I'm an accountant, and I've always taken the view that the "Pie" is big enough for everyone to have a piece. Most billionaires want the whole Pie to themselves, even though they just ate the last 2 Pies all by themselves.)

[@jamesrunyan8191]

Everybody stop buying new vehicles. Change the industry with your wallet.

[@ECPP]

That’s what caused this…..

[@Robmiezer66]

Unfortunatly, they will not drop prices, by not buying. They will build less and sell for same..lay off workers, keep profits. Sadly, the government needs to jump in and prevent price gouging (tume to pay back those bail-outs) or China will flood the market with cheap vehicles.

[@ECPP]

@ yes it’s very odd in this market and highly driven on one that requires higher profits every quarter as most publicly traded companies

[@sseltrek1a2b]

so- not only does Ford create an abomination in the form of the Mustang Mach-E, but it also wants you to pay $70k plus for it...wow...give me a nice Mustang GT (even an older one) "any" day...

[@ECPP]

I agree what’s mess was created over there at Ford

[@OnlyMeee-ie3dw]

The only time to buy a new vehicle is when these $70k trucks are back down to $30k and cars, like the Camry, are back down to the lower $20. New cars are designed to keep you buying more new cars because you can't afford to repair them. Manufactures are looking for any excuse not to warranty their products.

Many diy can’t fix many of them either. Too much dependence on all the separate control modules.

With these prices, you need 7 to 8 years to pay off, but the lack of quality and planned obsolescence you're not going to want to keep it that long.

[@RobertGuidry-f3f]

More than that.Trucks used to be half of that and were better. They used to use half as much material to make a truck. Get rid of the extra set of doors and all of the tech that would render it a paper weight if it would stop working. All lof the dials show up on a digital scrreen.

One of them is 20 years old only has 60,000 miles runs perfectly and I make sure it does and I have a 2018 F150 runs perfectly and I will keep them until I get 300,000 miles on each of the vehicles I won’t be looking for a vehicle, not in the near future and not in the distant future as far as I’m concerned I hope all of the American car companies go out of business because they deserve it. The prices are outrageous. There is no need for vehicle to be over $20,000 and I’m talking pick up truck. I can’t believe I was a construction company Owner and I needed my trucks to work with. I can’t imagine spending $80,000 on a work truck, my work truck or anywhere from $20-$30,000 and that’s what I paid for these last two that I own the owner of Ford and Dodge would roll over in their grave to find out that a normal working class citizen of United States cannot afford a vehicle. The American car industry has taken advantage of the market citizens, and I wish all of the vehicles coming into the United States are Chinese there are Chinese vehicles and I know this for a fact that are under $20,000 that are considered luxury vehicles compared to our American counterparts that are worth right now 60 to 100,000 America needs to wake up. Do not buy American made products until these products come down in price. There is no need for this exorbitant price.

Of course you can. Or are you too proud or just plain lazy. If you dont know how properly there are people that can teach you. The life expectancy of automotive paint goes way way up just washing it.

So what year was that, and what did that bean counter come up with? I am 78 years old, and to be honest with you, most people in my town were blue collar types, and they bought used cars. A new car was very rarely seen. I distinctly remember the guy right next door, who was a union oiler for heavy equipment brought home a 1952 black Plymouth sedan that had 325,000 miles on it. It had a straight 6 L head engine, and it ran like a Swiss Watch. That engine had an oil bath air cleaner, and a glass fuel bowl under the carburetor with a brass filter, both cleanable and reusable.

EV’s are niche vehicles. Great for the commuter who can charge overnight or at work. Not great for longer highway trips. I can only see an EV truck being good for local runs, maybe a contractor in urban settings. Forget pulling trailers or carrying any heavy cargo any distance. Forget a week long camping trip in the western US.

Holy fuck, for that price on the compass, you could get a TOP end Outback Wilderness.

Simply overpriced

130 for a truck imagine taking an old Powerstroke Duramax whatever and putting a hundred thousand dollars in customizations into it it would be 10 times cooler and better than that thing
