IT'S DONE! The Truck Market CRASH of 2025 will hit HARDEST

Yep. My dad would tell me I'd need to be a millionaire to survive when I retired, he was almost right. I could be free and clear of all my debt and have money left over for what one of those high-end trucks cost. It's ridiculous!

[@priestesslucy]

Especially with the garbage build quality these days. If you could buy that 100k rig and expect to pay less than 50k total to maintain it for 40 years it wouldn't be a terrible buy. But that build quality doesn't really exist anymore.

[@davidross8233]

I’ve got a buddy who is beyond well off. He’ll spend north of $200k on a sports car but would never pay $100k for a truck. It’s absolutely ridiculous. These prices assume owners are going baby these vehicles instead of actually using them like a truck

[@wm6746]

Let them all Bankrupt .. No bail this time.. Pure Greed

[@AudioFileZ]

This whole insane price rise started way back when all the brands (except Ford I think) took bail-out money and as a part of it had to close a lot of dealerships. This concentrated the sellers in a kind of monopoly and prices went up sharply afterwards. Recently they all took EV initiative grants to the tune of billions and kept the money while reversing on the increased production of EV vehicles because the ones already produced hit a wall and fell way back in sales. They, manufacturers and dealers, have heavy handedly manipulated the market yet they didn't have the foresight to keep prices level, or even remotely in-line with the consumer's wants, desires, and ability to buy. I saw just this evening 2023 models that were new (they classify them as demos even if the mileage is under a hundred) that still sit unsold. Their collective run-away greed with poor decisions such as Toyota and Stellantis to kill their best engine have come home to roost. I'm currently looking for a truck and haven't yet been offered the kind of deal I expect so I'll wait and see. Your saying you can buy under invoice gives me hope these circumstances can collide to give me a chance to buy a truck at a reasonable offer..

[@erice9536]

Or maybe because our benevolent government has mandated EV's that lose 50K per unit they have to make that 50K back on trucks.

Smoke and mirrors. Always has been, but at least when our parents went you just find a good dealer and you’re set. Now even the “good” lots aren’t even pushing back on these crazy prices because it’s more value for everyone across the board. The board of directors, you thought I meant the consumer. Forget them. 😂 I’ve been shopping for months for a truck. Finally found one and she is 11 years old, 1 owner, and 102000 miles. It’s possible to get a good truck but you have to go find an older model and have full diagnostics and anything else you can do. 🙏 I made the right decision. 2014 Z71 LTZ baby.

During my career I worked as a Consumer Loan Officer from 2000 to 2021 at my local Credit Union and local Bank. Back in 2000 I can recall most monthly payments were close to $400.00 for a loan amount of $22,000 for 60 months, this was a typical loan amount. Through the years the terms crept up from 60 months up to 84 months, the term was increased due to the loan amounts being much, much greater. It is unbelievable to me that the consumer will purchase a vehicle for $50,000 or more and the payment is through the roof, I simply cannot understand how they would fall into that debt trap. There were lots of denials on the latter part of my career because their income just couldn’t support a monthly payment nearing $1,000 or more. Incredible!

It's going to tank reliability as we have already seen. Instead of a under worked cast iron engine of old we have over worked aluminum and plastic junk. That's without even considering the poor qc of parts now.

[@PorkChopAChunky]

​@Alamaric That's not the problem. You now have a small engine always working extremely hard to make power. That is the mortal enemy of longevity. All the legendary engines over time were so because they were overbuilt and under worked. Plus the eco boost has cam phaser issues and it's real common.

I've got 160,000 miles on my 2012 Jeep that I bought when it had only 76,000 miles. All I've done is keep the oil changed with additives, replace wear items (brakes, tires, hoses, filters, battery, etc). Since I can actually work on it, it's way easier and cheaper for me to maintain repairs and hold on to it rather than take on another car payment and necessary higher insurance premiums that come along with financing a new vehicle. The parts are cheaper and more readily available at most auto parts locations too. I was skeptical when I first bought my old Jeep, but given how the auto industry and pricing has evolved, I'm super glad I held on to it and didn't trade it in after it was paid off.

Guys if you don't need all the new electronics look for 2004 or earlier used trucks from southern markets (no rust). Look private sale from someone who did not use the truck as a daily work truck. There are a lot of guys out there that were just average homeowner types that needed the convenience of a truck bed. These older trucks can be rebuilt. If you can get by with a regular cab (2 door) truck you will find really good deals. I acquired a 2004 F350 regular cab long bed with V10 Triton engine at 19,000 miles for $14,000 in really good condition. Sure beats taking out a mortgage to buy a new truck that you can't figure out how to work on.

I agree with everything you said. We normally get a new pickup every 3-5 years. We generally pay it off within the first year but when the prices skyrocketed and quality/trim’s dropped tremendously it was an easy decision for us to keep what we already had. Local dealerships calling making offers to buy the truck back for more money than we paid originally. We couldn’t replace what we have without it costing what homes used to cost!! LoL It was a teachable moment for our daughter just because you can afford something doesn’t mean you should buy it.
