@ravensfootball52 my point is that "feelings" are typically liars. There are TONS of factors involved with the price of trucks. One that no one wants to address is that all product manufacturers use their most popular products to drive profit that their least popular, yet necessary, products can't. So, trucks are hugely popular and need to drive profit dollars that make up for the vehicles that don't. So, GM truck buyers will pay more for trucks so GM can still offer the Blazer. It's not just about what the Silverado 1500 is "worth". Combine that with a TON of other factors, and truck prices have shot up.

I disagree. HDs cost a lot more to register in certain states/provinces, they ride worse, are usually quite a bit larger (so they're harder to park and drive) while also being heavier on gas. IMO the midsize segment should be moee popular. I know tons of people who have an F-150 or Tundra but would be better off with a Ranger or Tacoma for their use. Conversely, I have seen only a few people who needed more truck than they had. The only fault with smaller trucks is that they severely lack rear seat room, so if you have children in car seats, you'll likely need a full-sized truck.

I hate the burst your bubble, but many key-driven ignitions are still digital and turning the key just sends a signal, it isn’t actually the switch controlling power flow to the starter motor. It’s essentially a turn-button start instead of a push-button start.

I wish TFL would do the most affordable entry level midsize and full size truck comparison, I think you'd get a lot of views and positive comments. I am currently truck shopping and watch all your videos and I've not seen anything affordable yet!
@Cloud30000Ай бұрын
I recommend you shop for used vehicles if the current lineup seems unaffordable. Nothing wrong with used, as I bought and drove used vehicles for decades before I made enough that I could buy anything I want.

I understand the intent of the video but practically speaking I would lean towards a 1-2 yr old truck with better features and low-ish mileage. Just don't see the value behind these trucks vs their price point.

Ever wonder how people can make a business out of reviewing cars? YT is a MASSIVE advertising platform where you are ever so subtly convinced to spend money. And people who don't have the means are made to feel they are missing out. I have spent $750 on things I didn't need. The more you watch, the more you spend. Just buy what you need, when you need it and you will be rich.

I brought my 2019 Laramie that year used with 13k on the odometer. The price was $42 g and I paid $37 g for the final price with my trade in. So far the hemi and the ZF tranny is flawless, and I have no regrets buying the Ram loaded with equipment. It seems light years since then, but I cant believe how much trucks cost now, starting in the low 40s. Mine will be around for awhile. Especially when its now paid off.

My choice would be the 2024 Ram with the Hemi and 3:92 axle ratio. As for cab configuration, the crew cab cost more but then you’ve always got it. As for trim levels, spending additional thousands for minor luxuries makes no real world sense, especially given the average length of ownership, though it will give the second owner a deal and a smile. The Big Horn edition is really comfortable, really well equipped, and literally thousands of dollars cheaper. If you consider the extra interest you’ll pay on just those extra amenities alone on those higher level trucks, it gets really serious real fast. It obviously all boils down to money. How easy your money comes, how much you have, and how you value it.
