    Ford still has 1000's of 23 and 24 F 150's on lots nationwide. It's pretty bad when you have left over 2023's.... Their sales number are bogus. They count "sold" to the dealership as "sold" not to the consumer.

      @@shanes481 While I don't have any sympathy for auto dealerships after all the lying and price gouging that they have done at the expense of the consumer over the past 4 years, They aren't going to sell vehicles at a loss. They likely will do what many Dodge Ram dealers have done and force the manufacturer to buy back the unsold vehicles or they will go out of business like many auto dealers already have. I suspect the OEM's are betting on a government bailout to save them. I'm hoping that Trump forces them all to take a huge loss and possibly go out of business. Out of the ashes of bankruptcy perhaps smaller, wiser auto makers who make reasonably priced cars that the public actually wants will emerge.

      @@UntamedMotors Their just sealing their own doom. They can't continue this practice much, if any, longer. Dealers are pushing back and want the OEM's to buy back the unsold inventory. Dealers are going bankrupt and a lot of their franchise agreements have the OEM responsible for buying back the unsold new inventory. That'll do a number on their stock value when that starts to happen! I really hope the incoming administration doesn't do a bail out for them. There needs to be a free market correction and the auto makers need to be held accountable.

      I think it is due to the same thing that happens here in the UK. Over 90% of all new car "Sales" are just rentals. Or to use the posh word - lease. People cannot possibly afford to lay £50+k down for a car but £299 a month? Even for a 50k car? This is how these "expensive" cars sell. And by the way, last time I looked the AVERAGE new car price in the UK is an astonishing £35k. Madness as you say.

      If there is any "good" news for Full Size pickup truck shoppers it is that the window stickers mean nothing. On left over supply that is sitting on dealer lots the minimum opening offer should be MSRP less 20% before any rebates or incentives. And for vehicles that have been sitting on lots for 9-12 months or more you should also be asking for things like a new battery, complete detailing and an extended OEM warranty free of charge. Dealers have been paying floor cost interest on these vehicles for a long time. They are motivated to deal if you press them. You won't get a deal if you don't ask for it. That said, even with 20%+ off on a $80K vehicle that sold for $45K in 2021 still might not be a bargain in most people's books.

      @@webmastersof Well, your response is illogical and factually incorrect. Unless we become like Cuba, driving 70 yr old cars, there will always be a demand for new vehicles. Where do you think used vehicles come from, the used car fairy?
      Used truck prices have dropped significantly over the past two years from the pandemic-related highs. The local carpenter or plumber might drive a beater but there will eventually be a demand for new vehicles. The pricing will undoubtedly reduce the demand which will result in a similar reduction in production to bring the price/demand curves into alignment. The manufacturer's will finally realize that loading up basic vehicles with technology gadgetry that isn't needed (and maybe even wanted) by consumers and they will reduce the cost of production by reducing the inclusion of so much technology that doesn't enhance performance. I own a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax with 125,000 miles. It runs great and has all the technology that I need to use it on my ranch. but it's starting to need a lot of little things like ball joints and wheel bearings and interior items like seat covers and buttons/knobs on windows, door locks, etc. But it's still a lot cheaper than a $1500/month payment and higher insurance premiums. A 10 speed transmission versus my 5 speed gives it an extra 1 or 2 mpg but mine is a bulletproof Allison and there are many, many stories about issues with 9 and 10spd boxes.
      But ... at some point in time I will eventually have no choice but to buy a truck. It might be used but it was new at some point.

    Sales isn’t driving prices. Huge subsidies for EV’s and PHEV’s. Exorbitant prices for trucks and SUV’s. Base model Maverick price was once $20K. This is all CAFE. Full-size crew cab long beds have the most lenient mpg at approximately 23mpg combined. Not gonna happen. Most body on frame vehicles can’t reach 23mpg, and many have much tighter fuel economy requirements. They don’t really want to sell trucks unless they can make enough to give away EV’s or pay CAFE penalties. Even if sales collapse, they aren’t going to give trucks away or reduce prices.
    If you want cheaper trucks, CAFE will have to be reformed. Killing the footprints regs could be a good start. They would be subsidizing small CUV’s/SUV’s rather than putting $12,000 on the hood of an EV.

    The dealers are making cars at higher quanities to provide a lower price. The prices have gone down a bit, but not enough. They probably cleared profits by a good margin, and the remainder can be sold at slightly lower cost and still gain a profit. I understand what you're saying with quantities built compared to sales, but it's most likely a strategy to have stock and lower prices. We manufactured protein powders and we did the same stradegy for lower high volume cost and unlike cars we had a exp date but marketing plans were made to support the higher production. I'm sure The dealers also did the same.

    Oh man brother. You have an expedition in a snowy climate. I also have one, and boy so they rust fast!!!! Spend a ton of time to frequently and well spray off your frame, suspension, exhaust and exhaust manifolds. These rusted heavily in 3 years on mine, by year 6, both exhaust manifolds rusted through and fell off, exhaust swiss cheese, suspension roached, running boards roached, got Ford sucks nuts at corrosion resistance.

    That being said, I purchased a new 2024 Camry SE AWD for under $30,000.00. Apparently, most people prefer hybrids or EVs in Washington state. They are very expensive.

    The thing I don't here anyone talking about is defining what a sale means. I have heard it said that a sale for "Ford" means it went from Ford manufacturing to a dealer. A sale for "Toyota" might mean from dealer to consumer. I put those in quote because it could be any car company. I don't know if any of that is the case, but I think understanding what sale is for each manufacturer is important to making sense of all of this.

    I mean.. it’s probably because everyone wants to get in while the getting is (sorta?) good. At least, better than what it might be in the future. I know I was one of them. Not willing to wait any longer to “see how this all goes down”, tbh. Needed a ride, bought a ride. I got a good deal all things considered, a bit over 3k below invoice. I don’t think the deals aren’t going to be like 50% off or whatever people are expecting. If you truly need something, go find a decent deal. If not, don’t go broke buying - just expect to pay more in the future. 45k trucks are a thing of the past.

Hence the push for EVs. So that Phoenix can maybe stay livable for another 40 years instead of only another 20 years.

Forget about the car industry crash. The auto loan crash is coming and it's going to be bad. People are not going to be able to get auto loans once they default on the current ones they have. Just like when people bought houses, they couldn't afford now they are buying autos they can't afford. Smart people will just sit back and wait patiently and then benefit from the fallout.

    I appreciate you! I got ford to buy back my 2023 Explorer ST due to quality issues and mainly wind noise in August of last year. And for anybody also looking into an Explorer the ST is the best bang for buck you can buy for performance SUV hands down. DO NOT buy a 2024 or older. Wind noise in them is high plus insanely outdated infotainment system. Same for Lincoln aviators btw.. Get the 2025 models on both. They are built better plus wireless Apple car play FINALLY! I may end up getting the 2025 ST but waiting for Ford to get their head out of their ass and come off the interest rates. Not going any higher than 1.9%!! Nope! Not doing it. I’ve really been shopping around and appreciating videos like this. 2025 GMC Acadia Denali is actually top on my list right now. If anyone is looking for a good looking feature rich luxury mid sized SUV. Check it out! Test drove it the other day probably going back tmw actually. Doesn’t have the performance as the ST but holy moly the built quality is superb. Very quiet ride and has active noise canceling. Tesla style infotainment. Lots to love on that car. Anyways. Yall stay safe and have a good day ppl! Peace

Plus, now that COVID is over, manufacturers are finally filling lots back to normal levels. You are used to seeing empty lots but the lots being full are NORMAL.
