How about just subtract 55% from any new vehicle price to get a fair price. For example a $53,000 Ford Ranger would be $23,850. That seems like a fair price.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@FredJacobs-ql4mqAs a right wing conservative this comment was ridiculous and immature. Regardless if you work or not the point is that before the 2020’s truck prices were priced at a reasonable level. The 20k-25k range was the average MSRP for a base level midsize truck. I wonder what kind of job you work that gives you a high enough pay to make you see these current prices as normal because I’d like a job asap.

From my understanding the manufacturers report a sale when they ship a vehicle to a dealership, not when the vehicle is actually sold to a retail customer. They are counting all those vehicles on dealership lots as sold vehicles.

[@SuperSportRob95]

Correct. Once that vehicle crosses the finish line at the plant it is deemed sold by the manufacturer and they are paid. Thats why there is heavy pressure to hit build numbers at plants and keep the line running. The dealerships have to deal with actually selling the vehicle they bought to the consumer for more or less than what they paid

[@joepertic6759]

I just paid off my 2020 Ford Edge Titanium and the night before I made my last payment my dealership called me. They were asking me to trade in my vehicle. My vehicle was at 0% financing for five years, the new vehicles best rates are now at 0%. The problem is the vehicles are grossly over priced. Job security and consumer debt is going bankrupt a lot of people. Something has to give or we are all in a lot of trouble. Thank you for all the videos and I thrilled to see a young man doing well.

[@mikehill3804]

Gonna take 50% off and 0% interest rate to even make me interested in buying their junk and if I even have to spend more than a hour inside the dealership I’ll walk out the door. No I will run out the door! I absolutely hate dealerships and the bullshit that comes with buying a vehicle. Why can’t we just buy from the manufacturer and be done with it? Let em rot on the high dollar real estate they are sitting on and maybe they’ll get the message.

[@loseerich493]

Mike - I've fairly recently been forced into getting a new vehicle (for my wife) due to a totaled one. At times, & in certain locales, used markets can really suck. When that happens you can use a broker (which I've done & will do again), or you can leverage places like Costco to gauge what dealers can 100% do & then go it yourself using those figures (done that in the last couple years as well). My preference is using a broker. All but completely eliminates dealer b.s. Failing that, I will test drive a car at a dealership then negotiate via text &/or email. Takes a lot of pain out of things if you have to engage in procuring a new vehicle.

If you pay $92,000 MSRP, you’re looking at $100,000 after TTL and other charges. If you drive the truck into the ground over 20 years, that vehicle will cost you $5,000 a year, $6,000 if you add financing costs. You can double that for full coverage insurance, maintenance, repairs and fuel. So you’re looking at $250,000 over 20 years if fuel, repairs and insurance premiums somehow defy inflation. The financing costs, insurance, tax and maintenance on the average home would be less over 20 years. You can have a Super Duty or house. Crazy. These car makers are smoking something.

Wasn’t a very good truck . 2017 bought a used 1016 F150 had 40,000 miles on it, now I am at 195,000. Been a very good truck. I have watched prices sky rocket. I feel as you do that 60-75% of truck buyers could be driving a car. Rise in demand plus wanting luxury features like the Mercedes they were driving and still should be. These are some of the factors that allowed the prices to go as high as they have. 2025 will be a market correction. 3/4 ton prices are the lowest I have seen in 2 decades. I am also aware we have to spend more to get a few nice to have features. The XLT isn’t much of a step from an XL now. I have been keeping them well into the 200,000 mile range, I am not going to do that anymore. I will sell or trade at 120,000 or so. This is because unless you get a lemon , unlikely mechanical troubles before then. I never had ANY trouble with my F150 until about 170,000 miles. Even then little stuff, back up camera. Stellantis seems to be in the worst shape in regard to sales and inventory. I have always like the RAM but never tried one. I am hearing rumors about some very large discounts , large enough I could buy new for what I expect to spend for lightly used. All the other manufactures will be affected if RAM really drops prices.

[@nicknadeau5538]

I was about to trade my 21 Titan sv for a 21 ram, but rates and payments still aren’t great. Just going to keep it and hope it’ll last for a long time.

[@Non-Artificial-Intelligence]

Great information as always. Thanks. Have you heard the highly probable rumor that Stellantis is going to cut 30% from RAM truck MSRPs in the second quarter of 2025? What are your thoughts on this and how the other truck manufacturers will respond?

[@AudioFileZ]

Am I out of line? I saw a RAM Laramie with the heading $15,000 off. So I offered $55.6K out the door total. I've been at first played for a deal they tried to convince me was what I was asking save I pay the sales tax in addition to my offer. Well, that did not compute based on my state sales tax first off, then they just said they were loosing $15K and they needed the $1,700 additional at a minimum. I said fine, but no sale. I was up-front and told them I would pay $55K (the actual salesman got me up to $55.6K because he said he could work the manager for that...but, no). I came back 30-days later and the same Laramie is on their lot so I offered them the $55.6K again. They tried the same stuff this time saying because I wasn't a current owner of a Ford. What BS. It shouldn't matter if I own a Yugo...if they can give a rebate for Ford owners they can give one for me (I own a Volvo and a Porsche, lol...wasn't Volvo at one time owned by Ford...so count that as long as you're being arbitrary like a crook lets call my Volvo a Ford because we can. I hate car stealerships. They are the lowest form of humanity selling a needed staple of everyday life. They sicken me. Games, lies, cheats, and prices that change by the minute...BTW, at the GM dealership they wanted to know if I was a Costco member. I am, but WTH does that really have to do with the lowest price you can offer a buyer with cash or good credit in hand. I hate the car business as it makes the Mafia look like a bastion of honesty and integrity.

[@stephendiamond9893]

Best selling doesn’t mean it’s the best. It means that Ford has more dealerships throughout the country than any other dealership and so more people will be inclined to purchase a Ford truck since it’s readily accessible when needed.

[@ronsteitz4535]

I bought my 2016 Toyota Tundra LIMITED Crew Cab New in September 2015 for $42,000. I now have 26,000 miles last oil change at dealership. I guess I’m not trading anytime soon . Retired 7 yrs ago and this truck should last for awhile.👍

[@RayDe-n8h]

Apparently Toyota is coming out with a small pickup called The Corolla Pickup. Unibody construction and supposed to be priced reasonably. Smart move for the homeowner pickup. We shall see?

[@Drivingformoney]

I just payed mine off in one payment. Whatever is going on in the economy is not good. I got a ford ranger nothing like these luxury pick ups….. at least I got that out of way. Were do for a recession but it seems like it’s going off a cliff this time. Look at the prices in these vehicles!

[@babykeith7]

👂👂 Thanks man.

[@possession3929]

You showed one ford ranger for 51k, and the cheapest F-150 for 54k. How does this make sense? There two different sizes vehicles but similar price. Looks like price gouging

[@dnmerrill]

What has happened is the government has pressured manufacturers to produce EV’s. That experiment has failed and manufacturers have raised the prices on the vehicle’s that people do want to cover their loses on EV’s.

[@alanbagen5019]

90,000 for a pick up truck is insane!

[@theduckthatquacks6445]

that used Tacoma has been in an accident.. the bumper is not square to the vehicle. 4getaboutit !!

[@rickflyer372]

What do you think with the latest hurricane areas and then fire damage in California. All of these vehicles will have to be replaced that got destroyed. So demand will go up. High demand means prices may go up as inventory drops. So......?

[@johncarr123]

You can order a GM 3500 HD Duramax with nice options for $65 grand. Which really is not to bad. You will have to wait 4 months to get it.

[@Cslayer121]

I got a new 39500msrp blazer for 19800 it’s one model year older. Nearly fully loaded. They just wanted to move it.

[@Wes-jb6kt]

You mind sharing what part of the country dealers are experiencing this? I am actively looking to buy. In Fla there is no such thing. Good luck finding a 2024 1/2 or 3/4 ton to purchase, sold out months ago and the 25’s sell everyday with little to no rebates.

[@mikeg6666]

I paid $40k for a loaded Tacoma SR5 but that's still to much , I don't know what dealership you're at but those prices are outrageous!

[@nextmove9055]

Please do more videos on Ford and Chev.

[@williamclark9624]

$39,000. for my F-150 in 2016. $62,000 for my F350 2020. Will keep what we have. Both new, paid cash.

[@SidLee-r5f]

bought 2 new 2024 GMC serria 1500 for 62k each, a white and a red one and pay cash too, my red one is in my garage in storage and have only 25 miles on it, will not drive it until my white one wears out,not going to license it or insurance it until i'm ready to drive it in 5 years or so, if i wait 5 years to buy the same truck, it probably cost over 100k, so i did it to save money

[@charleeceejay8543]

Preach! It's gotten out of hand. I don't drive trucks but GMC hasn't sold a new vehicle under $30K in years and Chevy has stopped making economy cars. Taxpayers bailed the auto industry out and now we're getting the horns. Late model Repos go to auction, get bought by the same dealerships that sold them new and get resold as used.

[@bassdaze]

I almost boight a new truck last year, so Thankful I didnt,i will keep my faithful 05 duramax which has never had a problem other than waterpump and batteries... over 250k, my 04 gmc 1500 2wd ext cab 146k 5.3ltr never had a problem... soon to be dropped some as its now my daily

[@SentientXAI]

My Aunt paid $70,000 or paid off her 2016 F-150 about a year ago finally via financing. That's Canadian pricing or MSRP. So your $70,000USD that's about over $100,000+ plus Canadian or CAD. Exchange rate and Taxes and and...

[@jimmysimeone9692]

Hi from Montreal, ok the old man is talking again, but not to long ago 1969 my parents bought a duplex for under 25,000$ they showed a truck at 89,000$ price of 3 duplexes and still have enough to buy 3 brand new cars. I know I bought a brand new Pontiac brought in 1975, for 5875$ hard to believe. 😢😢

[@connor_flanigan]

I remember way back in the 1900s almost no one owned a truck. the few people who did use them as daily drivers were weirdos no one wanted to be around. the types of monster trucks people buy now are the type that you had to go the coliseum back in the 80s to see - they were usually driving across a row of crushed cars. it's similar to how the food we now eat on a daily basis started out as crap you'd buy at a circus or carnival.

[@Mr.Bulbino]

And after all this, I will continue to be the exact opposite of what dealerships want their customers to be. The last two times I’ve been to a dealership I got my best friend $15,000 off MSRP on a 3500 RAM and my mom a pre-owned car that they tried everything to say it wasn’t in their system. Both were pristine and top of the line, but they lacked important features. Luckily both had every possible option after an ebay haul and a couple cold ones!

[@wizzyno1566]

2:46 no. We dont. Its that sort of thinking that has got us in this position.

[@armandovillanueva7719]

my father paid 37k for a f250 lariat brand new in 2010…… times have changed

[@garynichol2548]

If the 1st number on your VIN is 3, it's made in Mexico. #1 is made in USA, #2 is made in Canada.

[@kentjax3622]

Looked around at RAM truck. It was $66K and they are not budging, but the trucks are sitting for many months! WTH is going on?

[@Bingoz277]

Cost of giving auto workers payraise is just part of cost production and its passed down to the consumers. Which is why they're reluctant to lower the prices on their vehicles.

[@richiwason6838]

Im glad i kept my 01 v10 excursion ltd. Bought it 4 years ago for 10k with 130k on the clock. One owner. If I ever do anything, I'd rather take a 30k bank loan and do it up than spend double that for something new.

[@randy1160]

Unions have driven up labor costs which are translating too higher prices!

[@McMuffinV2]

If you believe that, you are incredibly lost. It isn’t union workers in Mexico making $2 an hour that’s the issue, it’s charging $70k for a truck that is worth maybe $40k. Interest rates are awful, quality is down, prices are up.
