BREAKING! Every RAM & Jeep Dealership Will Be SHUT DOWN

[@lazarus381]

If a brand new car depreciates by 20% as soon as you drive it off the lot, what happens to a car that has been sitting on the lot for a year? No thanks!

[@xxwagyllamabootyxx8554]

"Doesn't depreciate at all" cause the dealers and the companies don't want to lower price. They would rather sell lower quantity at higher price than other way around. You would think a car sitting on the lot for over a year would have a massive discount but dealers don't care. I'm looking to go after a 15-17 f150 for my next truck and used market floats them round 18k-24k in my area with 130k miles. Car prices are ridiculous

First... it needs to be said that " Death Wobble" is a thing on any 4x4 with front axle on coil springs. The coil springs generally work better. But require a lot of arms and dampners to keep them tightly aligned. In 2019 I was still waiting for Ford to bring out the new Bronco. But needed a new truck. My 2007 GMC 2500 was starting to rust through the rear fenders. And had 156,000 miles. I looked at Wranglers. As I didnt really NEED a 3/4 ton truck. A Rubicon then was breaking 50 grand. Most any trim level I wanted was in the mid to upper 40s. I looked at Ford Superdutys. I could buy an XLT for the same price. A V8 3/4 ton truck with roomy 4 door crew cab and either 8' or 6'9" bed. Properly speced with 4.30 rears had a tow rating of 15,000. Wheres the equity in the Jeep? I ended up ordering a 2019 Superduty Lariat...Crew Cab. Short bed. 6.2 gas with 4.30 rears. 15,000 tow rating. Rubber floor in place of carpet which freaked out the salesman... nice heated and cooled leather seats... huge accessible interior...out the door under $52,000.00..... Same truck with a diesel would have been 10 grand more. Sorry. But the Wranglers have been way over priced for a very long time. Yes the Rubicon has a lot of cool offroad gear. That 99% of owners will never get within 500 miles of needing. And who really would take a $96,000.00 jeep and bash it over rocks and scrape the sides through the trees anyway? Everyone will miss the demize of the hot Challengers and Chargers. Its disgusting listening to this pompus European millionair dick head justifying the only good selling Chrystler products they have being dumped in favor of EVs nobody wants... which do nothing for the environment... And then to refuse to sell Dodge off to someone who can market them? Those cars should set on the lot for a decade... as a musium to ignorance, stupidity, and arrogance.

I can understand the ram dealers shutting down because, I bought my ram 1500 Big Horn with the hemi engine in 2017. I have never had to take it to the dealer for any repairs. One update recall for the cruise control which took about 15 minutes. That’s it. I do all my own oil changes brake inspections… maintenance like filters, changing, wiper blades, greasing the door, hinges, changing the brake fluid every three years. I have always done that for decades in all my vehicles. So the dealer never really sees me again. I bought a new Ford E150 van, a 1978 which I bought in 1977. Never had it to the dealer and I owned that truck for 31 years. When I finally sold it because I wanted a truck with an automatic transmission and air conditioning for a change, that truck drove away with the new owner. I am going into my ninth winter with my ram here where they throw salt on the roads from sometimes November through March. I used fluid film to protect the chassis and body from under the truck on the fifth day after I brought the truck home when I bought it new. I have videos on my KZbin channel showing annual chassis inspections to see how well the fluid film is holding up. I have thousands of views of those videos that I put on every year in the fall, when I prep my truck for salt exposure here in Pennsylvania, and in the spring time, I make a video showing how my truck held up after being exposed to five months of salt. I don’t have any rust yet going into the ninth winter. I did a thorough job applying that fluid film with the spray cans. You can buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s and an attachment. That’s about 30 inches long so you can get in every hole under the hood and in the doors and in the Frame, holes and rocker panel plugs, up the door posts, up the windshield post all the way to the roof with that tool that snaps onto the spray cans. I did the bulk of the under coating under the truck with the spray gun that I bought on eBay along with a gallon of fluid film back in 2017. I did an annual inspection video on KZbin for this year, 2024, take a walk. Maintenance is a bit time consuming and can be a little expensive. But that which ought to be done and isn’t, is more expensive.

[@keithhumco]

I don't understand why people would want to buy a new rig. It's like making a house payment, it's ridiculous. Plus all the new rigs, turbos, and even Chevy's non-turbo have issues 'cause they're trying to get such high mileage, they don't have the technology down.

[@Worm8theBird]

No wonder why they aren’t warranty anything

[@Mark0003260]

I bought a Jeep Wrangler and all the silly creature comforts that you have no choice but to pay for is ridiculous. I have never had tempeature control in the car. I can turn on the heater and air conditioner on and off myself. I don't need to pay thousands of dollars for that.

[@johnhenke6475]

The Jeep badge has been junk ever since the 80's when MOPAR took over. AMC built a better product. Just go out of business already. You can't build a decent product and charge too much for it.

[@jjboohoo9641]

I hope all 3 of the major car manufactures go under! Screw them and the gov better not bail them out ever again..They screwed a lot of people

[@timduggan1461]

Manufacturers.

If you get bailed out you shouldn’t be able to price gouge until that money is paid back in my opinion

[@TheWillieG]

Agree !!!!! 💯

Crap I need to turn in a lease next year 😭😭😭

[@imrf]

Who did they screw? Wishing they go under is the stupidest thing ever. They go under, it will destroy America. The workforce they and all their suppliers employ is staggering. Dumb people always wish they weren't bailed out.

[@jmackinjersey1]

Awe, those over paid enployees are crying about bnot making enough money and then thry get more undeserved money and cry, then when given a chance to make even more money, they cry more. I can't stand entitled brats.

[@vincefairleigh6899]

Not only are they too expensive, but they’re very unreliable, the transmissions are horrible on the jeep and the 3500s absolutely junk, and the price of fixing it are insane, I’m sticking with older trucks.

[@vincefairleigh6899]

@ you’re one of the lucky ones, I met a guy with a newer rubicon and he was complaining that his transmission was rebuilt just out of warranty $$ he’s not impressed by the quality, and he doesn’t drive it hard at all.

[@blueduck9409]

New vehicles are very over priced. Electric vehicles are not popular. Thats the price the industry pays when they make what the government wants and not what the public wants. This is going to be a painful, probably slow leason for the industry to learn.

[@calypojr]

The prices everywhere are absolutely insane... most people can't even afford half that price plus insurance rates... its absolutely insane

[@bb5242]

taxes too

[@chrisbroesky2932]

I know a millionaire farmer who still daily drives a 95 F150. The motor went last year, he went to the scrap yard and bought another motor for 500. The point being is most people have to have the newest fanciest pile of metal. Most of it for social appearance and status. People play into the corporate monopoly game. This is why new vehicles cost so much not to mention the outrageous service and repair cost to keep them on the road.

[@trystanmarshall1867]

Maybe they should come down on their prices and do something about the poor quality of their vehicles and they might just sell something

[@utistudent099]

I am tremendously thankful that AMC engineered a JEEP that lasts literally forever and I own a 2001 Cherokee XJ with 239,000 miles and it's running great. Easy to work on when needed. I will drive it forever.

[@RonnieFrazee777]

Dude can't even put his glasses on straight how's he supposed to pull Stelantis out of this crap show.

[@caseygroves-om8kc]

The reason the jzx work so well in Japan is because they are simple and stock. Keep everything stock. Difference now is there are more shops ppl are paying to upkeep and rebuild their cars in off season.

[@GO-nh6br]

Plus, higher tag, higher tax, higher interest,higher depreciation its a loose loose proposition

[@josephoberlander]

I did an analysis a few years ago and back then, it cost Jeep about 8K in materials to make a basic Wrangler. The R&D and design, as well as the marketing was already long ago paid off and factored in, as well. Meaning their highest profit margins were from what is basically a 40+ year old design. This made sense when you could get one starting at 16K. Now, they start at 30K and aren't made any differently. Maybe 10K in materials and a 3x markup over cost. And that's for the most basic one. Add in options and it's a staggeringly greedy profit margin. Yet they persist instead of offering an economical alternative. The issue is that the company is simply milking the last few whales and enthusiasts ( to use MMO terminology ) before it withers away.

[@moth450]

When you look online. Those 23 and 24 unsold vehicles are still listed at msrp. The 25s are cheaper.

[@BryanChance]

I’ve been hearing “It’s over”, “it’s done” for long time. Well, it isn’t over so far. I do agree with you that pricing is insane…..so freakin insane. And some people actually are “proud” they have a $1200 monthly payment.

[@clay282]

Their stubborn attitude is losing them opportunities they can't get back. They aren't giving enough incentives to even come close to the 2020 prices for THE SAME TRUCKS. What they are doing for interest is useless when the price is so high for THE SAME TRUCK I ALREADY OWN. Then, they don't even want THEIR OWN TRUCKS on trade in so they lowball you so bad, you are pretty much paying them to take your trade in. So, who's making deals, decent prices, working decent interest rates? GM.

[@84jamesp]

Older jeeps are great but I hear you

[@larrys9879]

Wranglers are unique vehicles and designed to appeal to a particular kind of customer. I’ve owned 2 Wranglers and a Grand Cherokee Limited. No major issues with any of them. Wrangler customers are similar to Corvette, Camaro, & Mustang enthusiasts that enjoy driving and owning unique vehicles.

[@Bloodonmyknife]

@@Head-c3n You cared enough to comment, you silly clown.

[@99rollo99]

Nah, I bet you would. People in US love free stuff more than their families.

[@garytorresani8846]

I’m driving my 2000 Ranger extended cab with 6 foot bed with a camper shell. 17-21 mpg. Well maintained. Put a good sound system in it. Last year replaced the shocks, had the front end bushings, tires and tie rods replaced. No need to buy another truck at these prices. Ridiculous!! Greed personified. Not just Jeep/ram. My local ford dealer has Rangers and F150s sitting on the lot for months.

[@AJ-HawksToxicFinger]

Really love you working together more now as co hosts, changes it up and makes the videos more enjoyable. It Seems like Stellantis is trying to bury the brand altogether. Maybe they are bitter about WW2? lol Or more likely it wants to become a 'luxury' brand focused on selling and/or exporting 125-150K Wagoneers. That's the only marketing we see anymore.

[@myblujl7503]

In 2019, I got my 2018 JL 10K off and it was sitting on the lot for almost a year since it was a Sport-S that was way over spec. Sticker was 47K and I got it for 37K. That same spec is almost 60K now. Its been a great Jeep for me! But I would never pay 50K+ for it.

[@BellsWatson]

EV yes, that is the ticket. (Don't tell them that President Trump is going to "recall" all of Bidens EV mandates while at the same time begin drilling for more oil).

[@garytorresani8846]

We already drill oil. Our light crude goes on the open global market and we are the biggest exporter of light crude in the world. It doesn’t stay here. We can drill baby drill to our hearts desire. That oil will not stay in the country. Check the facts.

[@Fullflex4X4]

a guy who comes from a hardcore jeep family with four of my own and tattoos displaying jeeps!! when my commute called for me to get a compass trailhawk in an attempt to save some file cost. and then it’s had nothing but transmission issue after issue and Jeep refuses to take care of me it’s really frustrating. I didn’t even want my money back just a swap and they’ve been less then helpful. and because i live in Massachusetts and commute from near cape cod to boston and out an insane amount of miles on it i can’t even use the lemon law. very disappointed in Jeep and how they don’t take care of their most loyal customers

[@cqqkie87]

I feel like I’ve seen this video already.

[@blueduck9409]

[@theccwdad]

Also my neighbors 6 year old ram truck has had a major internal engine failure at like 80k miles. Unacceptable. My 27 year old ford powerstroke diesel has 380k on the original engine and is still going very strong..

The sky isn't falling, and most dealers will remain in business. I just purchased a 2024 Rubicon X with 23% off the MSRP from a high volume dealer. Stellantis is having fire sales in order to move excess inventory and balance production numbers with sales numbers.

Who do you think was there when they bought it? Remember your hero closed lots of American auto plants down so his Korean buddies can use cheap non-union labor.

[@akenedy]

Your video is one of the very few I have ever seen discuss and show the 'Death Wobble' front end issue. However, I had that issue in my 1998 Ford Explorer AWD that I purchased used with 100k miles, and it took me the better part of year to figure out the problem on my own, aided by a couple of KZbin videos. Then, I took it my mechanic and told him what the problem was and the components I wanted him to replace. All's well ever since. But that death wobble has to be the most alarming issue I've ever had while driving...quite literally felt like the entire car was going to shake itself to pieces while up to speed on the highway (and only at highway speeds).

People who don’t need trucks should stop buying them, that’s why the prices jumped so much from when the blue color people could afford them

[@EvilBowlOfCheerios]

I work in a jeep production in ohio (custom). I'm some of the last hands to touch them before they head off to dealerships. The 392 jeeps we have had about 20 of them blow up just by starting them to outbound. Also Dubai only get shipped the 392 with no tint and no other trim packages. Highest price i seen for one so far was 134k going to Florida somewhere.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

Its not an issue of marketing. Its all about pricing! Chrysler products, carved their niche into our culture, as the affordable brand. $94k for a 55-60k truck is insane! I currently own a 16 Ram 2500 diesel, with Laramie trim. It was a dealer demo, with 6k miles on the odometer. I paid 50k and some change OTD! Sticker had it priced around 61k. I bought it April of 17. Thats where their pricing needs to be!!
