Okay I guess I have to do all the math. The average income today is 37,600 the minimum payment of this “basic” truck is 1350 a month assuming $0 down. That’s 43% of the average income of an American for a truck payment. In 1994 the average person made 23,900 and the average diesel truck payment was around $340 a month. That’s 17% of the average Americans income. Profit margins for the manufacturers were around 5% 30 years ago, now they’re 13%, with the average American priced out of owning a new vehicle. Make it make sense….
$1,350 is a pretty big stretch for actual sale prices but your concept is spot on. I’ve been telling folks to stop pointing the gun at individual dealerships (not that they’re all innocent, that’s far from the case) who controls roughly 4-8% of the vehicles price, compared to the manufacturers who control 20%+. While manufacturers raised prices like mad, they’ve also shrunk dealer profit margins, and reduced rebates. The individual dealers would love for vehicles to be cheaper, with higher margins.
Base price is not MSRP. “Total price” is MSRP. Base price does not include any of the optional equipment, including the HO Cummins for basically 1/2 of that increase. They are expensive, but if this truck had 0 options it would sit longer than this truck. That’s what tradesmen’s are for.
People want simple trucks but nobody is going to pay fancy truck price for it. Why world anyone pay a premium for a base model vehicle? I do not understand you're argument.
Not an equivalent. An equivalent Chevy LT with the same options has a slightly lower MSRP, but Chevys don’t typically have as many discounts. You’re likely referring to a base model or a custom, which is more like a tradesman from Ram, which are relatively the same price. So no, you’re wrong.

its the broke people who dont buy trucks that say those things...They complain "all" trucks are 100k. when they arent even in the correct tax bracket anyway.....and yet they still watch all the videos and post on them.. the ones actually buying want most of the fancy crap which is why manufacturers make them plenty of work trucks for 40-50k around, they are only going to get more expensive as time rolls on
Your argument is: everyone wants a simple truck that does the job. They should love this truck…… what everyone wants actually, is a simple truck that does the job, and doesn’t cost 60k plus. What a dumb video.
Still tens of thousands dollars less than loaded trucks. Of what you can buy brand new, this is the closest to what most people say they want in a HD truck. Thanks for watching and making a dumb comment to help the algorithm and engagement on the video 😘

It just doesn’t.

It is what they want, but outside of what they can afford. The interest rates are too high.
Here is the real reason they dont sell.
MSRP: $56,645
Total Price: $79,800
That $23,155 price difference is why they dont sell.
Base price is not MSRP. “Total price” is MSRP.

@@BadoreksDailysfair enough but they even tradesman cost 60k+
Yep

This truck is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than a premium model, lol
You can get a nice Chevy for 65-70k so you're wrong

Do you work at Tempe Ram ?
