Why can't we just go back to basic mechanical vehicles that get you from point A to point B? I want a truck that can tow lots of weight, i don't need all the bells and whistles that just add complexity to the damn thing.
and of cause who should pay for the missing emission standards - come to germany and watch the picture of bavarian forrests with needle trees that had 0 needles anymore . That has been in the 1980s due to CO2, bad air pollution - as far as your eyes could look a scenery of WW1: trees without needles , all dead. You want that back in the USA ? What else do you want back , no medicine against cancer, the spanish flu and what not ? ICE is dead at least in europe and the manufacturers do know that here and are moving ahead, they do not hire ice engineers anymore, the suppliers are reducing production volumes big time. Each month further and our CO2 prices are increasing the gas bill cause each year the prices are increasing. Put 40 cent per year on top of the gallon price or 2 $ in 5 years you will learn to compare prices and decide far more economical than today. USA was the market leader with Tesla for so many years - and now it is BYD from China, missed opportunity I would say.
Exactly... AND WHY ? Climate change madness. Why would I pay for unproven tech that hasn't been ironed out ? Instead they have turned the public into their test bench. We pay and suffer the consequences of their poor products. ENOUGH.
I saw a video about it and there was a fair point… a lot of people love the prices of the basic, no frills cars, but how many customers would actually buy a car like that in 2024? Most customers actually like tech, they like that added safety feature, it makes the NEW car purchase a little more worth it.
@ your right but it’s gets to a point where there to much stuff to break. I went and looked at a 24 Silverado with 5.3 in it this weekend and I was disappointed the seats were horrible the screen was glitching and check engine light was on I ran away.
Last generation tundras and Tacomas were perfect. I wish they just did some small changes and mostly interior updates. Now I’m not sure what my next truck will be
Dealerships refuse to work on vehicles after 100k miles . Only reason i can think of is they want to sell not extend the life of their products. The problem is as the computers get more complicated and the manufacturers charge small shops a fortune for diagnostic software it's a planned obsolescence by attrition.
Im still driving my 07 Tundra Crewmax. I wont touch the new Tundras. Saw obscene ADM stickers on some of my dealers stock. Toyota management is arrogant. They didn't listen to Tundra owners when we asked them not to redesign and drop the 5.7. I wont buy the new one. Plus it isn't a very nice looking truck.
Those Ford Mavericks need to be $20k to $30k as THEY WERE DESIGNED TO BE SOLD FOR!! They are totally not built well enough to be selling for the MSRP prices Ford is asking.
I totally agree 100%. I'm a Toyota owner since 1978(17 Toyotas later). The new, flaky quality Toyotas offer far less for 'over the moon prices'. I'm gonna keep my 2008 5.7 V8 Tundra & 2020 4.0 V6 4Runner, and call an end to my Toyota buying days. Toyota's quality reputation is in the history books.
Something to note with the Tundras and Tacomas is that you don’t see the hybrid versions, at least in this particular video and well, just generally those are the ones that seem to be in demand. My local dealerships have all types of Tundras and Tacomas in stock, the only ones that aren’t on the lot too long is the Tundra/Tacoma hybrids and Nightshade Editions of the Tundra
Poor quality trucks at insane prices. No thanks. Life is so much better without a ridiculous truck payment to worry about. I'll keep driving my 2015 Tacoma V6 4x4 for as long as possible.
4 Cylinder Turbo boost with Mild Hybrid = 4 less years of life in the vehicle you bought. I have always bought my cars and kept them 10 years on average. Now if your car lasts 5, you are fortunate. And they are now putting these 4 bangers on large SUV's ? F NO !!!!
Swing for the moon by saying 30% off with 0% interest. If they refuse, tell them you'll be back next year. If they counter with 20%, tell them you'll think about it and walk away. You can do this with absolutely no intentions to purchase a vehicle. Just for kicks, and it'll send a message.
I'm a Toyota guy, I've have had over 10 Toyotas throughout the years. In 2020, I traded a 2019 4Runner for a Colorado ZR2 Bison with the baby Duramax. It was an incredible vehicle, and I regret trading it. The Chevrolet Colorado of that generation were a far better value than the Tacoma. I currently have a 2019 Tundra with 38K on the clock and a 2017 Highlander with 120,000 miles. We really want to get a new vehicle to replace the Highlander, but there's no Toyota's that are worth the price. We're now hoping for a Tahoe, but looking for the right deal and the low single digit interest rates. Keep up the great content.
I'm not sure how those 2 things are related. Those are 2 completely separate markets. Toyota customers don't spent 100k, they want affordability and reliability and toyota doesn't offer that anymore.
My vehicles are paid for. The only way I would go buy another vehicle is if something bad happened to mine that I had to replace them. The only new vehicle I could afford would be that Nissan Versa with a manual transmission for 18K. I definitely wouldn't pay over 20k for another vehicle.
Thanks a ton, Dillon! Appreciate the support… I was pretty reluctant sharing that new acquisition amongst my subscribers (who tend to be big Toyota fans). But it’s easily the most enjoyable suv/truck I’ve ever owned. =]
Excellent video. Some in the industry have stated that many dealers are trying to hold out because they fattened their wallets during the pandemic. If true, those dealers cannot hold out much longer without dropping prices dramatically. Also, what happened to dealer service departments covering upwards of 100 percent - some even 120 percent - of the entire dealership’s costs? That’s what these dealers should focus on and move the darn metal already. It’s absurd.
Heck, Chevy dealers are discounting Stingrays 11-12 percent. I really think that most car companies don’t mind if some of their dealers go under. The “traditional” manufacturers would love to have the control that the EV manufacturers have over distribution. Not really a good thing for consumers though. If companies don’t have decent choices at 30k in development, they will not have a future.
That blue jeep in the background is the sharpest looking vehicle by far on that parking lot. Interesting point about we are now playing in the Chevy's and GM's playground with vehicle pricing. Toyota is a lost puppy. But I give you a bravo and applause for buying the Jeep. That thing is awesome and I am glad you are supporting American made!! Stellantis has some warts, but they also build the most fun V8's. That Jeep Rubicon 392 is a blast, but I dare you to drive the Durango 392 Hellcat with the third row and captain chairs. j
Thanks man! The 392 is so much fun… I don’t blame people to knocking the idea of it. But I know if they took the time to try one out, they too would strongly consider one. It’s easily the most enjoyable suv/truck I’ve ever driven.
Toyota has been lying about there Tacoma sales numbers. Dealers around me have 50 each on the lot but showing the sales numbers the same as last year. Last year you could maybe find 2 or 3 on the lot with the same sales numbers.
Toyota can't lower the MSRP, but they for sure can offer cash incentive or APR deals. As of right now the lowest APR offered for Tundra still 1.9%, that means they are not desperate enough. Wait until Toyota offers 0% for 72 month, just like Nissan
This video was succinct and to the point well done Bravo this channel is getting better and better every month. I really appreciate all the hard work that you do and looking forward very much to your next video. Keep up the great work and don’t forget to mention Lexus once in a while… Just kidding you’re doing great…. I know your love is TOYOTA and my love. Is Lexus peace be with you and enjoy and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your beautiful family🇺🇸🙏✝️☮️💜⭐️👍
No one can afford a $100K+ truck to work out of, if it can't handle the job, and spends all its time in the repair shop for a recall. I'll keep my 25 year old pickup. It's a paid for, dead reliable, powerful, plain turbo diesel. 235 K miles and still working well. A new truck would be nice, but not at today's prices.
Thanks for the hard work and knowledge untamed! Videos like this make me happier and happier that I have a 2019 4Runner! I wonder how the new redesigned 4Runner will do on the lot… I’ll be staying tuned!
TARIFS = no need to lower the prices cause foreign cars will become more expensive the end of the big 3 as we know it - cause they will be beaten big times in the coming 4 years cause the rest of the world is still in competition but the big3 are not and becoming fatter and fatter REMEMBER: Marketshareleader in germany in the 60s far ahead of VW was who ? GENERAL MOTORS with far over 25% ROTTEN AFTER 40 years when GM LEFT: 8% Obvious that the big 3 are not competitive - at least in Europe. Same for Ford which has lost 50% of its marketshare in last 20 years or 75% since mid 80s in germany. Good luck, tarifs will make their situation worser than today cause the prices can not drop due to tarifs unless the chinese and others will establish a prroduction in Canada or even USA . BYD for example could - easily with VW together.
Side note, why does everyone always quote top end models to sticker shock and fearmonger? There's affordable models at lower pricepoints, but that's not what poor entitled Americans want to look at- they deserve BETTER!
Servco Toyota in Honolulu and Kau’i has never sold above MSRP. The incoming Tacoma Pro’s are all reserved, as well as Siennas, Rav4s and most other models. Tundras do sit longer if they aren’t SR5 work style or Pro.
To finance a vehicle for 8-10 years will never end well. You will be upside down in less than a year and locked in to rolling over your loan to a dealer the next time you trade.
Dude, at the 5:00 mark in the video, you are the ONLY YT vehicle blogger that has just said what I have been saying to anyone who listens to my ramblings, that Freaking GREEDY Dealerships who took advantage of the consumer by slapping $10,000, $15,000 & $20,000 mark-up fees during the Pandemic I will refuse to ever buy from again. FRIG THEM!!! GREEDY BASTARDS! ! I am pissed that every State Attorneys General did not go after them for PRICE GOUGING during a declared National EMERGENCY. Had they sold a case of water for $100 after a hurricane struck then the State AG would go after them, but charge $15,000 higher than MSRP just because they could and get away with it WAS NUTZ!!!! As far as these GREEDY MANUFACTURERS, who have raised sticker prices waaayyy higher than the rate of inflation & selling us BAD QUALITY vehicles to boot, well, FRIG THEM TOO!! Here is a suggestion for them.... SLASH those MSRP's and be like Hyundai and give a 10 YEAR bumper to bumper warranty on your vehicles if you really believe you are selling a quality product, then stand behind your product!! This 3 year warranty is bullcrap!!!
I understand your point and what you’re alluding to. Generally increased tariffs/taxes lead to higher price tags. It won’t be in this case though because the vehicles are already failing to sell at current price points. Hiking prices at this point would be organizational suicde.
@@UntamedMotors In other words, tariffs will be meaningless in the car market. Meanwhile, it's going to make everything else more expensive. Congrats? Last time he did this, we had to bailout Iowa farmers with govt handouts because his tariffs did tremendous damage to their ag business.
@@Kurt-n4i This will extend beyond the car market. Nearly everything we buy relies on Chinese parts. That Trump tax will be passed on to all consumers.
Even if they significantly drop the price, it will still have a 2.4 turbo charged engine. I would still be more inclined to buy a low mileage previous generation. Or if I would opt for a new one, then maybe the Nissan Frontier...
Go back to pre-pandemic prices, then adjust for actual inflation. That is what the price should start around. Then deduct money if you get a turbo over a non-turbo. And yes a screen might be cheaper up front, but lifelong it will cost the consumer more. These LED touchscreens are disposable and only last so long.
It all boils down to price price price. Americans are broke. And who in their right mind would by an electric pickup truck? Pickups are known to be work vehicles. Anyone whos used electric snowblowers and lawnmowers will tell you they'd prefer gas powered. Not just because of longer run time, but electric cannot keep up with the steady power of gas motors.
I like older Chevy trucks 90s and 90s toyota trucks and the new Toyota trucks but man there is no way I can afford a new Toyota truck. I have a chevy s10 and yeah it has issues and is it worth fixing? No, cost way too much to make new again. The new Silverado is like ehh I mean I don't dislike the new Silverado and I don't like it either. I mean everyone has a Silverado, Silverado Silverado Silverado. If I could afford a new truck it would be hands down tundra or tacoma.
Why can't we just go back to basic mechanical vehicles that get you from point A to point B? I want a truck that can tow lots of weight, i don't need all the bells and whistles that just add complexity to the damn thing.
Yep....The Great Car RESET!!! Make AUTOS affordable and reliable again!!
Can't even get most vehicles with crank windows and/or a manual transmission.
Sad.
@AWDfreak In Europe you can find a manuals. Even rentals come in manuals. I think the lack of manuals is an American thing.
and of cause who should pay for the missing emission standards - come to germany and watch the picture of bavarian forrests with needle trees that had 0 needles anymore .

Back in 2002 I bought a new Chevy. I had to custom order a stripped down model because everything on the lots were fully loaded.
Cut quality, reliability, service. Inflate prices. GO BROKE.
Exactly... AND WHY ?
Climate change madness.
Why would I pay for unproven tech that hasn't been ironed out ?
Instead they have turned the public into their test bench.
We pay and suffer the consequences of their poor products.
ENOUGH.
How about no one is buying the new Tundra because they are ugly.
You’re not wrong……. After a lift and a wheel and tire upgrade they look decent, but until you can afford to do that, it’s a very ugly vehicle
I care about dealerships as much as they cared about me...😅
Well said.
Cheap labor, bloated price tag. Nothing but a cash grab from Toyota. And late to the game - covid dollars are gone.
Why can’t I just buy a mid sized pickup with a regular v8 and 4x4 and no screen and all the tech BS

That's disgusting
No, that's not enough. They need to pay. I'm not a buyer until at least 30k.
Trucks need to go back to 35k and top of the line SUV’s were 60k. Now an entry level truck is 60k and a top of the line SUV is over 100k
Good..they charge waaay too much and lots of cars today have too many recalls

Cut the price by half still 50% to much.
If the APR’s were lower they would move but add in high MSRP’s crazy insurance rates and consumers have tapped out they simply cannot afford it
As long as the public keeps buying them; they will keep building them! Simple economics!

Then deduct money if you get a turbo over a non-turbo.
And yes a screen might be cheaper up front, but lifelong it will cost the consumer more. These LED touchscreens are disposable and only last so long.
No need for dealers, People will order a car online, and it will be shipped to them
I’m not sure if the dealerships are smart enough to realize Karma applies to companies and corporations as well. RIP!lesson: don’t screw people over!
WOW!!! So, Spradley Motors got a name change. I've been overseas too long... 😐
Haha yep! It’s been a minute. Thanks for your service, brother.
You’re loving that Jeep…I know it! 👍🏻
Exactly, need 15K discounts. In saying that, I still wouldn't buy that crappy 4 banger. Toyota CHEAPING out.
So with trump tarrif those 50 thousands dollars truck will cost 90 thousands
Just picked up a new Nissan Frontier 4x4. Paid mid 30s. Pretty basic truck. Hope Nissan will be in business in a year tho.
Nissan is in a pretty bad position at the moment, actually.
@@rabd3721 Why do you say that?
Toyota lost their way, Not sure what I’m going to buy now.
I kinda like watching the dealerships struggle..😁
No one wants a full size trunk with a turbo 4 banger no matter what maker.
Yeah but it's too bad theres plenty of stupid people who must buy and pays stupid money 🙄🙄
2002 chevy suburban and no plans to get rid of it.
Garbage now
Bye bye dealerships. I’ll drive right down to Detroit to the factory to get my next truck
Can't
Bring back the 5.7 V8. Problem solved
$57k for a mini truck....LOL. Think about it, lower quality and twice the price.
Toyota has 14 sequoia 4x4 models with trim opts within the models , there is going to be 9 .2025 4Runners only 3 land cruiser models
I got a 2024 all wheel drive Ford Maverick XL out the door for $28,679
It’s some truth but we sale cars everyday bro it’s different looking outside in. Market will reset for sure
I will never be a loyal customer I bought a 2013 in 2015 and I'm keeping it I'm not buying any more cars
It all boils down to price price price. Americans are broke. And who in their right mind would by an electric pickup truck? Pickups are known to be work vehicles. Anyone whos used electric snowblowers and lawnmowers will tell you they'd prefer gas powered. Not just because of longer run time, but electric cannot keep up with the steady power of gas motors.
I’d buy a tundra trd pro for 50k flat……….even 1 cent more you can keep it.
Just heard about the Honda V6 connecting rod bearing recall. 😡
Should be at $31,000 that’s reasonable for what you are getting 🤷🏼♂️
Counter point
If yo he’s t a car better get the beer deal you can now before the economy goes completely to hell after January
was in Mexico ton of cheap affordable pickup , none in the usa
If they would offer engine options I’d have got a 24. But they don’t so I got a 23 Tacoma.
Blah blah you’re all over the place.
I like older Chevy trucks 90s and 90s toyota trucks and the new Toyota trucks but man there is no way I can afford a new Toyota truck. I have a chevy s10 and yeah it has issues and is it worth fixing? No, cost way too much to make new again. The new Silverado is like ehh I mean I don't dislike the new Silverado and I don't like it either. I mean everyone has a Silverado, Silverado Silverado Silverado. If I could afford a new truck it would be hands down tundra or tacoma.
It’s very sad that we are still paying for all them government handouts taxpayer
How about a Suburban as a family hauler ?
I still drive a Yugo car.
they can cut prices but if the turbo tech and all these new features that are not quality... why would a price cut make it worth the head ache?
