Nissan revealed a new cheap truck that can beat Ford Maverick, Toyota Stout, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado and all other trucks. The Nissan Frontier is also a big deal. A Small pickup truck war is starting and Nissan is about to throw their hat in the ring with an awesome new cheap pickup truck. Over the past few years full size trucks have been getting bigger, fancier and more expensive but In 2023 sales of the overpriced trucks has slowed to a crawl and manufacturers are trying to figure out what to do next. Ford was first to the small truck game by releasing the Maverick, Rumors of a new Toyota Stout have been taking over the internet, and Nissan recently revealed that they are thinking about bringing back the classic hardbody pickup truck with a new and more modern version.
And it might even start at a shockingly low price of just $20,000!

I'm going to say it again: auto makers have totally lost the plot when it comes to trucks. They've turned them into luxury soccer mom vehicles and forgotten their bread and butter: guys who work for a living.
I use to own a Ford Raptor but it was so much $$$ that I was afraid to use it as a truck, Lol. Sold it super fast.
@@MotorFeed my point exactly!!!!
I paid $700 cdn for a running and driving 2006 F150 beater 4 x 4. I was unloading at a customer's place and he was helping. He bumped the side of the bed "oh I'm so sorry" me: kicking the fender denting it "no worries man, this is a TRUCK...." lol
And the small truck market, event with the proposed Ridgeline, will still rob you of 49,550$CAN for the Sport trim. 58,550$ for the BlackEdition. Chipping 34,795$CAN for a Maverick XL makes more sense. If you can get one...
Well said, No way a truck should cost 100Gs
@@sergiovalente3036 and the maverick is just an econo box with a truck body.
I said it once and I'll say it again the first automaker to build a full-size pickup truck for $30,000 or less wins period.
There is no pickup truck for that price coming to the United States from any of these brands . This is all click bait. I wish it were true but it isn’t.
A versa, the cheapest car in America is $20k, you really think they can build a pickup truck for under $30k? For that price, people will complain about lack of everything. Oh no towing, hard plastic everywhere, no power, defeats the purpose of a truck. You have to be able to please and wow customers for them to buy products so I'll say that's going to be pretty hard unless the goal is just to capture customers, move units, take huge losses in profits to buy keep cash flow and profit in the future
Absolutely agree.. I will not pay $40,000 for a gd truck!
Im in poor Baltimore, and every week someone buys a new full size dodge, Ford, Gm truck.. so theres no incentive to lower prices, even in my broke area
@@donaldpiper9763thats not what clickbait means dude
No thanks if they have Eco Boost engines
Those old Nissans were unbreakable, as was the old Pathfinder. These new small trucks don't hold a candle to the old small body, Nissans, or Toyotas of the past. Who knew the 80s would be the pinnacle of vehicular development?
Well, I've had my 2006 Frontier (SE 4x4 Crew V6 6MT) for 17 years now and the only issue I've had was one O2 sensor that went out...
As long as Nissan offers a V6, I will consider a Hardbody
Rangers s10s. In 80s were cheep and disposable
Nissan lost its credibility with the new trucks…
My husband has a 2002 6 cylinder Frontier. 50,000 miles. No major problems. His baby. 4x4
If they make a compact pickup for around $20k and no CVT trans, I'll be very interested.
It would be nice as a stick shift, but maybe a regular automatic transmission would be better, only because no transmission shops know how to work on sticks anymore 🤔
Yep NO CVT - have heard enough mechanics complain about the Nissan CVTs, which are apparently horrid.
@@jw2877 Manuals are built in security alarms.
And BODY ON FRAME!!!
@@FloridaFrank2010I had a CVT in my 2009 Nissan Rogue and it failed twice. It’s expensive and can’t be repaired. Stay away from ANY Nissan CVT.
Nissan, you are listening to us the customer. We just want a simple truck with manual transmission and few engine options. Just like you do in the rest of the world.
AND PLEASE OFFER A V6 AS WELL!!!!!
Ford screwed up big time. People wanted 100’s of thousands of Maverick hybrids and Ford wouldn’t build them
It is not that Ford won't build them, ford CAN'T build enough of them to handle the ridiculous demand. There are people that ordered their Maverick in 2021 that still have not accepted delivery. Another Ford collousal screw-up.@@gcanada3005
Manual? Most Americans definitely don't want that
Manual all the way. Best anti theft option
if they actually release a $20k truck it's game over for everyone else
Absolutely!

@@Jyx01
Even funnier
Chicken Tax!
You can't say that loud enough. Comment of the day.
You hit the nail on the head with your assessment of the public wanting cheap small trucks and auto makers not producing them. Large loaded trucks aren't selling. Go figure!
But absolutely NOBODY wants a crummy CVT, either. CVTs and heavy loads are a nightmare fuel combination. Just ask any mechanic.
The maverick is not popular because of what it is. It's popular because most can't afford even a ranger now due to cost
Some of us want a truck, but also the ability to park in the city lol
Partially true
Even the Maverick pricing is becoming ridiculous, you’ll be lucky to find one and pay under 30K.
Never should’ve sold my 86 Toyota pickup with a 4 speed manual transmission and a 22R motor.
Hindsight is 20/20 but wow, that was not a good move.
Those 22s are BULLETPROOF
I sold my same Toyota truck 22r and a new engine with transmission with it. Standard 4 speed with a b&m shifter knob. Single seater no extended cab.
Simple, reliable, and manual transmission and I’ll buy it
Right. And engineer so that you can service the clutch if needed without taking the entire thing apart. Build it old school frame with a simple cross membrane and keep the friggen exhaust tube and steering system out of the way.
@@russellstewart5414 Yes sir, y'all are right. Any company would have my money if they did that. I prefer American brands, but I'm not gonna pass up a simple truck for a $70G for a truck trying to be a luxury crossover.
I had a late 80s or early 90s Nissan pickup. 4 cylinder manual. Was a fantastic tuck! The engine was strong and felt like 6 cylinder.
Its not the same truck now though, it is built like crap with zero quality control.
Yep, a friend of mine had the same old hardbody back in the early 90's, he beat the crap out of that thing, he lowered it, raced it, redlined it all the time no matter where he was going, tried driving it into the ground and it would not die! The only thing he had to replace on it was tires and occasionally the oil, he regrets ever selling it. If they made the same type of vehicle today, I highly doubt it would be as tough as how they made them back then, it would probably be built for the average mother who gets groceries and brings the kids to soccer practice and never drives on dirt.
They don’t respect the working class man anymore it’s crazy every truck comes out nowadays is the price of a house….how is a working class man gonna be able to afford something like this…bring back the working man truck there’s a huge market for that’s a man that works in his truck doesn’t wanna spend unnecessary money on a truck that’s just gonna get beat up
Yup and they add all this tech to it and buttons 🤮
If they can just make something durable for working men now...
First Titan you showed the window sticker for is $51K, not $41K. 👍
20k for a pickup even a small one would be nice. I would like to buy a new pickup but the full size ones have just hit a point where it would be close to 1/2 the price of my house to buy one.
We will never see a 20k truck
It simply won't happen
@@soliniv1411People are out of their minds they actually think that
Dude, the ball shaving ad was info we don't need to know.
Stopped by a Ford Dealership to look at a Maverick I saw on their website 3 weeks earlier. It was a Lariat trim with a MSRP of $35k.
They told me they turned down an offer of $42k and wanted $48k for it. 🤯
I can get a used F150 with the more option for that.
Craziness!
Only the base xl model is affordable
Ford has greatly curtailed Maverick production, so they can sell more $80K+ trucks and EVs.
This is not working out for them at all, but they have not altered course yet.
Lol a 4 banger shit box for 50k, fk off
@@FloridaFrank2010nobody is going to buy a f 150 with a twin turbo v6 or v8 with gas prices and inflation like they are if I was the Ford ceo I would be building mavericks and Rangers because that is what the market needs at the moment and not worry about ev's right now putting that on the back burner because the charging infrastructure is not available to support them and the prices are too high
I’m proud of you for not buying that truck now if we convince the others to do that they will be forced to drop the price
I bought a used truck for $20k that can tow 50k lbs. I can pretty much haul anything. I love my kenworth
Very nice!
Brother a semi not a solution for the every day man
T680 ?
I drove a small Datsun 2 wheel drive pickup in the 80s and it was awesome on gas and got the job done with small loads. So why not for the younger generation for affordability or even retired people?
I had the Nissan Hard Body in the 80s. It was my first new truck. Now in 2023 I drive a Nissan Titan Pro4x. 😂 I've come full circle.
"Why not?" Answer: because no manufacturer offers them in the U.S.
@imatoad6101 why not' was said in the context of bringing back a small affordable truck in the US again.
I'm in South Africa and our pickups (bakkies) max out at the Hilux and Ranger and similar but we used to have a great range of what we called half-ton bakkies. We've lost all of those to offerings that are now limited to the Ranger size or panel vans. Here though we max out at around a 2.5 l diesel engine on the larger pickups.
Because Americans have less buying power than they did in the 80s. We work harder for less while the older generations fail to see it.
I bought a 22 Frontier in 2022. Great Truck!! I fully recommend it!!! 25000 miles so far
I think the most interesting thing is a lot of these Japanese companies already make these trucks, they have the toyota dyna, Nissan Atlas, and they come with a 3 liter diesel engine and a manual transmission, they have roll up windows and are basic trucks.
Can't buy them in the USA because of the piece of shit detroit lobby. They'll outsource labor, but ' regulate ' the free market so they don't have to compete.
Yes, when I visited southern Honduras many years ago, that's mostly what they had down there: small Nissan and Toyota pickup trucks with diesels. As memory serves, diesel was the only fuel available at the gas stations I saw down there.
I solved the problem. I purchased a magnificent 07 Ford Ranger. $7500. Looks awesome fun to drive. Bomb proof.
I had a 1995 Nissan hard body that I bought new and sold with 165K miles. Nothing went wrong with in those miles, strictly oil and filters. I wasn't particularly nice to that truck either. I don't remember the exact price of it but it was well under $10K dollars. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Maybe it would have been $20,000 in 2018... nothing is going to go that low now. Impossible.
Correct! I'm not happy about it, but a base Corolla is $22,000. With labor and materials higher than ever, there's no way
They already have started. Just checked out one of the only Mavericks the dealership had and with all the markups and add ons it was 37k.
Same with my local dealer, I wanted to look at one, and with the mark ups was 39k!
My dealer did that with Bronco Sport like it was limited runs.
@@t436I have the limited runs... over to the used lot (or Craigslist).
Yea won't matter what msrp when dealerships get them they're gonna be marked up like no other.
The thing is little more than a glorified car in truck clothing. And they can stick it in their ***es for that price!
11:07 if you have a vehicle people want, do what ford does: DON'T SELL THEM! That was the same way with the 4 door ranger and focus RS. People were screaming for them in North America, but Ford says NEIN NEIN NEIN ve vill not sell wut people vant, YOU MUST BUY WHAT WE WANT YOU TO BUY!
I agree, it is almost like the executives running the company want to destroy it!
@@horseathalt7308Sounds like what the Demonrats and Republicons have been doing to this country.
Well go back to the founder of Ford. His famous quote: "the buyer can have any color they want as long as it's black". Corporate culture is hard to overcome.
I hope mini truckin makes a comeback too
Even if it can't tow or have a lot of power just a simple reliable small truck makes sense to this day doesnt need bells and whistles front engine rwd or 4wd gas engine (manual would be nice) and almost no options would be great
Good on Nissan. These other companies are getting so greedy. They need to be held in check.
Everybody knows that "cheap $20K" truck is really a "$30K" truck. Same as the Ford Maverick, and the "maybe" Toyota Stout.
Exactly. As soon as the Maverick hit the dealerships, it was suddenly $8,000 more than advertised.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Classic "bait @ switch" shyster techniques.
I am not sure Toyota will ever build a sub-$30K truck, much less a $20K one. Right now $20K will get you an eight-year old used Tacoma with around 150K miles. No thanks.
@@soloCRPG - Rows and rows of new Tundras and Tacomas sit, just like at their US counterpart dealerships GM, Ford, and Dodge.
@@mplslawnguy3389 The last dealership I went to literally went looking for discounts for me. Its all about the discount game. My brother got a discount for owning a Kubota tractor of all things. I got 2% off of MSRP for working in the energy sector at the time. Employers who buy fleets often extend their discount to employees, if you don't mind fleet spec vehicles.
I recently just bought a 5.4L 3V crate engine and a new box for my 2004 new style F150 FX4. The frame is like new, running gear is perfect... Waaaaaaay cheaper to buy new components than a new truck. There's nothing wrong with it's current engine, just thought I'd get a perfect crate engine to have in reserve if it happens to die.
Who did you go with on the engine?
I fear even if Nissan did make a 20k truck it would have their crappy CVT drive in it.
Unidoby with cvt, would basically be a Murano with a bed
It’s never had and never will have a cvt in the frontiers just a normal reliable 8 speed.
Or it would be electric.
it has a 9 speed@@Mason-fv1zl
Trucks can't have a cvt cause cvts are not made for towing
Wow! Amazing. Who would have thought selling a reasonably priced affordable vehicle would sell like hotcakes. Automakers are nauseating.
Idc how a car looks , if it’s reliable and lasts my lifetime the quality itself makes it beautiful especially if it’s affordable, on the contrary I despise having to deal with lights on my dash constantly
Only if it’s a modern version of the hardbody, not some unibody car like platform
hard to work with pickups at like $90k... it kinda hurts to dirty it,
When I looked at what a new truck cost, I purchased a trailer for $1000.00. After having the trailer for a while I realized some things. I don't miss having a truck, easier to load and unload (sides drop down), lower to ground, carries more weight, doesn't need inspected, doesn't need insurance, you get the picture and oh ya, my bank account isn't suffering and neither is my anxiety of writing a huge car payment check every month for 7 years. Think about it.
BRING BACK THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!!
toyota has them. never went away.
No one wants them
I researched trucks for over a year and went with a '23 Frontier Pro 4X that was 5K below MSRP a few weeks ago. Just a fantastic, beefy, sturdy feeling truck. Hydraulic steering, V6 naturally aspirated engine, no CVT transmission, factory bedliner, nice interior and priced well I thought. Just love the truck and I think Nissan is going in the right direction. My previous vehicle was a Nissan 370Z which was indestructible. Sure it had aged tech in it but I loved that sports car. I was just ready to return to my pickups.
SMART MAN
Let's hope they worked out the radiator leak problem that fragged countless V6 engines and transmissions simultaneously in the 05-11 Frontier and Xterras. Nissan was sued over the issue in a class action lawsuit, effectively turning every one of those trucks and SUVs into Lemons. Thats why you hardly ever see those trucks and SUVs on the road. I had an 06 Xterra that was totaled by that very issue, fragged the engine and transmission, causing it to spew milk of magnesia from every orifice and Nissan denied me a fix to a known issue because my Xterra "was not part of the VIN run with that problem". We went from a Nissan family to a "never-again" Nissan family.
I don't know why the truck makers went with extra high long trucks. They always seemed clumsy.
Automobiles got too expensive... people can't afford to own both a truck and a sedan, so now we've got these mutant four-door things.
As for the height, I dunno. 2WD trucks used to be lower than 4WD ones, but it seems they're all 4WD height now. Makes the bed nearly unusable, if the crew cab didn't already.
They must be a nightmare to park.
I bought a new F150 in 2013 , and I still have it payed $35,000.00 Canadian all in .It’s the XTR 4x4 5.0 L Super Cab , I would not pay more than $45,000.00 Canadian for a new F150 . Ford you want to sell more trucks ? Get rid of the Bling 💍 and give me more payload just saying.
the local large Ford dealer group currently ( 2/10 ) lists 600 F150 available....of those not a single stand cab 2 wheel drive ...they dont care what we want in a work truck ....also a total of 3 Rangers and 11 Maverics
I am a die hard Toyota fan boy. But I must say that the new Frontier is a nice truck. Shame it’s not available with a manual gearbox. If it did I would actually consider it.
I’m a Toyota fanboy and ended up trading in my 2011 4Runner for a 2022 Pro 4X. It’s way better than any Tacomas I’ve been into…yet a 6-speed manual tranny would be perfect in this.
Excellent purchase for the price!
@@patricklachance3187Toyota fanboy here is as well. I’m really considering a king cab 4wd, I’ve heard nothing but good things on the new Frontier
They are plagued with electronic issues and the transmission is crap also drives rough but maybe the pro model is better@@AG-rk5hj
I have one and it’s awesome
But have they improved the turning radius? It’s been woeful for decades.
I bought an 07 Colorado when it first came out and absolutely loved that truck. Ran great for 10 years. Paid 24k for it
I love the colorado also so I bought a 2019 paid 38k. (my 1st was a 2016) I have 40k miles on it now with a K&N cold air intake , Magnaflow cat back exhaust and a Pedal commander. I am 55 and it has been the best truck I have ever owned!!
I had an 06 and bought it with 21k miles. It had 4 doors, 4x4, and a lift over an LS package, but it was less than 22k off the lot.
@@bryandevries7210 u bought one with 21k miles, mine had 12, I was the first and only owner. Yours was used. That's why it was cheaper
What I heard from the ford dealership near me is that Maverick is only available for pre-order because of the high demand. The dealership won't charge any markups but they just won't have any existing inventory. Anytime you see if there is an Maverick available on the lot is basically customer doesn't want to the car after it arrives.
No dealer mark up would be a pleasant surprise
I’ve seen Mavericks running about $38K.
@@scherzva probably mark ups for existing inventory yes. but pre-order only the top lariat trim will reach $38k.
Every Ford Maverick built is pre sold before they hit the dealership. They have no problem selling them , they have a problem producing as many as people want .
I just rented a Maverick XLT to drive through Florida. I got to tell you not impressed at all. Very tiny very basic. I felt the engine was struggling to maintain highway speed. Everyone does 85mph
I can’t justify buying an expensive truck to do truck stuff. I’d rather buy a 90’s pickup
As someone that has the maverick hybrid, that’s the reason I ordered it and waited a year to get it HYBRID! I get 60mpg and I can pick up 1500lbs of payload as someone that had a Silverado , this truck is always what I dreamed of!
Somethings has to change prices are out of control Good info
What do you expect when we will be entering the greatest Depress-
this country has ever seen. The purchasing power of a dollar is equivalent to 17 cents.
if they would never have adopted those cvt transmission nissan would be great again
I like it but Nissan's history of reliability is... concerning.
Honestly it's not any worse than most of the other brands. I had several 350Z cars and they ran so good most of the time.
My 2011 Xterra with 215k miles has been the most reliable vehicle Ive ever owned even moreso than the Toyotas Ive had. Just avoid the cvt trans and they are very reliable.
@@MotorFeedTrucks. We're referencing trucks here.
I'm not going to use a 350z like I am a truck that I'm working out of. That's where the concerns come into play.

@@chrisjmiller6 That's true, but the company is really trying to get back to their Golden Days back in the 1980s and 1990s! Nissan has clawed back a lot more independence back from owner Renault when it comes to what they build and how they build it.
Great informational video! Thanks! Keep them coming!
I believe most people don't want electric trucks I certainly don't. Bring back the small little trucks
I would get one honestly
Anybody that has sold cars knows that “addendum” pricing just means Dealer markup pricing which translates to Bull shit price.
Other trucks like this exist, they are just not sold in the US. Google Ram 700 or RAM 1000, they're just rebranded Fiat Strada and they're around 20k-30k, they are working horses
When a dealer tries to sell you 100% Nitrogen in tires, instead of leaving the 80% Nitrogen in regular air in them, they are saying, "We know you are stupid".
I just bought a new car last week (2024 Honda Civic EX) ... I paid a reasonable price (MSRP) for it but when he tried to upsell me on nitrogen I just laughed in his face.
When he questioned why I was laughing, I told him I'm not paying for air and that he might want to try that on another sucker but it won't be me. That shut him up right there and he never mentioned it again.
Maverick you need to find dealer who order them with high allocations. It might take a year but youll pay msrp or even less for brand new one. Im picking one up soon for 3% below invoice.
To this day i still don't understand why people don't embrace European/Asian style utilitarian truck. Most people, even workers, have no need for a big expensive 4x4 truck and an utilitarian truck would be cheaper, have a bigger load capacity and can also be geared inside and closed.
I really love the Titan, I have a 2006 and its an amazing truck. I'd buy a new one but not at the current prices.
The Titans are the cheapest truck in the market right now. A good SV with decent features are low $50k. If you can't afford that, the preowned ones are in the $40ks, high mileage on the $30k. If that still too much and you wait, then you won't be able to afford even a car because new versas which is the cheapest cars in America are now in the $20ks
@@mobilesolutions4u444 Well I bought my 2006 in 2021 for $10k. It had 1 owner and 120k miles. I used it for all my work stuff in the last couple years and also to move 250 miles away to another city. My truck runs great and it fits my whole family if I need to take them in it. The MSRP on my fully loaded max towing version was $42k. Now the base models are $40k basically. For me to buy a comparable model... its more like the XD since the regular Titan doesn't have a max towing model available.... So those start over $50k now.
Since mine is a 2006 Crew Cab LE 4x4 Flex Fuel + Towing Package. I have the huge beefy rear end with dedicated oil & Trans coolers + Locker & Tow Mode.

A '$20k' Nissan pickup is basically going to be a Sentra with Jatco CVT goodness
Selling one full size luxury truck generates more profit than 3 or 4 small entry level combined. The decision to build large luxury is strategic, as more soccer moms and salary workers want them. As the segment and desire for more affordable entry level small trucks gets stronger, manufacturing companies will comply. People buy what is available more than what they state they want.
I agree 100 percent except for the whole changing the market thing ....they will just close a bunch of plants , only build a small number of real; expensive trucks and not care what so ever about the rest of us

I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and I remember back in February of 2009, my local Ford dealer (Yorkdale Ford) had a sale on the Ford ranger sport with extended cab, 3.0 V6 with automatic trans and 2 wheel drive. They had an ad in the Toronto sun newspaper for $12,288. I bought one in black for me and a white one for my father. A couple days later my brother went back to buy a black one as well. My father and I still have ours but its just crazy looking back and buying a new truck for under 20 grand.

Ford quit selling the 2.3L 4 Banger and the V-6 RWD Ranger because it was "taking sales away from the F150." Yep they were selling only 90 to 100 thousand a year by 2011.
But that was because Ford did not want to sell 4 banger sticks with just the basic list of options. Sometimes a 4 cylinder is all you need. I had a 7 passenger Envoy for the old lady's pleasure.
But if I needed to pull a 6000 lb trailer the Envoy could do it.
The Ranger had transmission problems pulling a empty trailer. I also did not have to adjust the seats in it. Stick shift.
But she always pushed the remote button 1st when both of us were going somewhere in the Envoy. Yep the seat memory did not work well when she did that.
Works fine. Now that the Envoy is out of style. They seem to not understand there are men that drive them.
But then the women are raising up men with musical chair fathers now.
Supposedly, Toyota is coming out with a small 4 cyl diesel truck for 10k. No bed, but modular, so you can put whatever you want on the back.
and it will be sold all over the world where thats all people can afford and the governments will allow it .....that has a snow balls chance in a real hot place of ever happening here in the states
Very informative. Thanks
Remember when Frontiers were 20,000 a few years ago? Pepperidge farm remembers...
Nice video with good thoughts. But in the next year I hope to buy a new-version Toyota Tacoma with manual transmission. I might even be willing to get the base (very basic) trim level but would love to go back to a manual transmission which I have not had in a long time. Unfortunately the Tacoma and Gladiator are the only trucks available with manual.
You can never go wrong with a Tacoma
@@user-li4km9rw1eThe Toyota Tacoma has the 3.6 V6 twin turbo 400+ hp.
@@kuntekinte6246 can you get that with the manual transmission though
As much as I like the Maverick, I would most definitely prefer a similar size truck with a ladder frame and solid rear axle.
Would be nice
When I graduated high school in 1984 I bought my first new vehicle. 84 Chevy S-10 with a 4cly 4 speed manual, PS , PB , FM radio. I paid 8400.00 tax, title, included. It was new, cheap to run, cheap to insure.
Good to remember that the extended cabs, vs the crew, usually have bigger beds, so that is something to consider. An extra 18inches length to the bed can make a BIG difference.
That's the sweet spot for me. Load a dirt bike and still close the tailgate. Extra cab size to store items you dont want to leave in back or for a dog. Even with a camper shell, you can close it all up and sleep in back. Not everyone is traveling with a family/crew.
Plus a mid-size or smaller truck can get into places that a full size struggles to go.
Way to go Nissan! The public has had enough of these $80K+ trunks from the dinosaur car companies - you'll sell tons of them, as you once did =)
Nissan has not actually done anything yet. It is just a rumor.
That is the issue with the DFW Toyota dealers, are markups and dealer add-ons! It really sucks for sure. Would love to see you go to the Toyota HQ in Plano and ask them the questions too! 😁👍
Have a 2013 Nissan frontier, 4cyld. Bought it new for $ 16,000. No repairs so far. No electric windows or anything. Just the way i like it.
great videos! i've watched this one and prior to watching this one i saw your video on the cost of the 50k-100k+ trucks not selling. in light of these videos, would you consider doing a similar one on the pricing trend of used pickups?
Love my Nissan Titan pro 4x...I owned them all...best American truck made..
CLICKBAIT! Come on, title does not say Nissan "might" sell a $20,000 truck.
Hardbody!- I hear Jeremy Clarksons voice every time 😂
I have purchased more than 30 new full-size trucks in the past 25 yrs. Im a small business man. I will no longer be purchasing new vehicles with the current offerings. Im only purchasing used or small trucks from here on. The market has changed for me and I know for a fact I’m not alone!!
If the tiny trucks are EV’s they will fail miserably!!!
I don’t know, seeing a lot of Rivian trucks driving around lately
The Maverick is not a small pickup truck. It's a sedan with a an open air trunk. Real pickups only have 2 doors. Everything else is just an over sized, over priced sedan with an open air trunk.
lol it’s not the number of doors that makes the maverick not a real truck.
Do not believe it. I have seen prices advertised, then you go to dealers they don't have anything like that on the lot.There is NOTHING out there at 20K !!!
This!
I read/listen to the prices listed and am blown away by all most all of the prices. I am sure this will sound ridiculous to some of the people here, but I would never pay for any vehicle at or over $40,000. To each their own, but there are other options, at least for me.
UAW just made sure we will never again see another truck below $50k... I despise unions
I don't care to get any smaller than the Tacoma. And I don't care get any larger than the Tacoma. 🧐
No doubt many people will love a smaller pickup truck option. 👌
Sounds like you really like the Taco. Lol.
current gen f-150 is the perfect size for a truck
@@WaitForYouu But the downside is that you have to buy a Ford
@WaitForYouu
A work truck no doubt.
But like most pick-up truck owners, there is nothing in the bed , most of the time during the year.
I have the Tacomas for the 4 wheel drive and the high clarence for the winter.
I have seen all-wheel drive vehicles. Many cars get stuck in the snow and suspended in the high snow cause they don't have the clearance.
@@MotorFeed yeah
I would do a Tacoma commercial for Toyota for no charge. 😄
I own two of them.
Yeah I’ll say it also, the auto makers have totally lost the plot when it comes to Work trucks ,just a plain build for a work service truck without a service body on it is $50,000 plus then you got anywhere between 10 and 20,000 for a service body plus installation. It has definitely gotten out of hand with the prices.
A single cab Ford Ranger would have been nice
A single cab Chevy Colorado would have been nice
A 6ft bed with a great turning radius
Love your honest reporting.
20K is a pipe dream. The markup will increase the price to 30K+
I would like to see the economy smaller truck with cloth interior just a basic truck. Doesn't need all this fanciness.
Still driving and loving my 2007 frontier, only 96000 miles OE brakes. Paid $25,000 cash fully loaded 4x4😊
I bought a '93 Nissan Hardbody shortbed regular cab for my son as his first vehicle. The only thing I did to it was to put a set of 15x8 Pathfinder wheels and 255/60R15 tires on it to make it handle better and a new stereo. It had 300k miles on it but it still looked and ran great. My son drove it every day for a few years then joined the Navy. After that, I drove it for another year or so then sold it. That KA24E four cylinder was a great motor. If Nissan brought that truck back, I would almost certainly buy one!
Frontier and Taco were the original small and bullet proof trucks. Be cool to see this small truck war go at it again
I agree. Green is a great color for trucks. My new 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is Olive Green Pearl with the black decals and badging. Looks badazz...
In 2003 (I was 23) trucks were so NOT in demand and Ford was switching over to the NEW 2004 design a local Ford dealer was doing buy 1, get 1 FREE on F150s - or a great deal on a single F150.... I bought a brand new Silver F150 Sport, extended cab, stick shift, no carpet AND talked them into a bed liner: $17,000 + tax & doc fee.
Now, age 44, I am shocked every time I see the cost of a basic truck.
