Remember the original template of pickup trucks. Bare bones, cheap and functional? This is going back that way. Offer a bare bones work truk for a cheap price, but then offer a fully kitted out model topping off at $35k.
I don’t see how corporations can put a price tag and produce so many overpriced vehicles. When over 60% of the American population don’t even make 30k$ a year. If corporations want to feed themselves they need to feed us poor people first.
$15K before a greedy Ford dealer gets his hands on it. Customer: I thought this truck was $15K? Ford dealer: That was the cost to manufacture it. It's mine now. I have to make a profit right? I can't buy a $15K truck and sell it for $15K. I'd be out of business right? Just sign right here and we'll get you financed for $35K...😂😂😂
Gosh folks wouldn't it be awesome if someone would manufacture a pickup that the normal working American could use and afford. For once I'd love to see manufacturers make anything that was even close to as good as the hype, and actually costs what the advertised price is.
Ford already has with the Maverick. Maverick is extremely well designed. 5 of us carpenters have them already and our other boss is getting ready to buy 9 more.
@donaldappelhof2059 as long as want cause it's a Hybrid truck. Longest so far was 380 miles with my foot in it and out of it mostly speeding 10 over. Sure it go farther doing 65 constantly.
PLEASE don't give up on producing this truck! American people need an affordable, reliable, American made gas powered truck again. I was being to think nobody cared anymore about building a truck like this. Thank you for, at least, putting this out there!
Exactly, it's called marketing BS, people will get sucked in to pre-order, if it does eventuate the quality will be crap, Ford says they are losing money on every lightning, how will GM do it if Ford can't and make profits to keep the factory open 😆
FAKE NEWS! This will NEVER be $11,500 or $15,000......or even $30k for that matter. The Ford Maverick (which isn't that nice) is selling for $30k+, and people are pre-ordering them, and not getting them for a year. IF anyone ever made a $15k truck, they would sell 100m of them.
You are probably correct, and that is what needs to happen. Let dealers sell SERVICE POLICIES , while manufacturers sell vehicles direct to the public.
Yeah sure, this isn't happening. And if it does, remember, the Ford Maverick was also supposed to be the "affordable" truck. In the unlikely event this truck is built, not a chance it'll be $15k. I'd be surprised if it was sub $30k.
What they know is that the largest single age demographic - the boomers - are retiring and dying. And their accumulated wealth that has up until recently made the market so forgiving (pensioners love buying up every couple years, trading in their old vehicle and getting something new and luxurious and fully under warranty) is also going away. The next gen - millennials - is smaller and significantly disadvantaged when it comes to capital. And Gen Z is a tiny generation of teens and 20somethings - they're not buying anything new. We all love old trucks and manual transmissions because that's all we can afford to buy and they can be personally maintained. All the new stuff is too advanced and computerized and full of sensors.

I like the simplicity of the pickup. It's basically what I've been looking for. I don't need all the stuff they've been putting into these new cars and trucks. Air conditioning a radio ,manual seats and Windows at an affordable price. The BEST part is that it's NOT electric! I wanted a small pickup for work but I can't find one under 30 grand. This looks great.
I think the same way mate , a lot of the whizz bang electric vehicles currently i suspect will be the shit boxes of the future anyway , who is going to want to spend 15 or 20k or even more to replace a worn out EV battery when they get to10 ish years old ? And will peoples demeanour to electric vehicle change as they age and the range diminishes? Some of the bigger flasher 4WD EV units on the market , so far we haven’t seen any decked out with winches , Spottys ,roll bars , big chunky tyres that people often do with ice powered models . And it seems , the more battery you add to an EV truck , the less it can carry due to the huge weight of the batterys. It’s kinda funny to look at some of the largish pick ups that have only about a half or three quarter ton payload , when you could in recent years at least in my country buy a basic Japanese ice Ute with a 1 ton or even in some case a 1.2 ton payload😊. I`m with you , wind up windows and a push button radio are fine with me, i dont need or want all the other crap ,just want a cheap basic small or medium sized Ute/pick up that gets the job done.
Back in the 80s Toyota and Nissan made cheap stock trucks that lasted forever and were cheap in sales price because they were so basic,we call them today fleet trucks. And they were totally made in Japan,and shipped to the United States.
Why do all these video makers have to use AI to do the vocals when they can't pronounce half of the words correctly?!?!? And sorry GM, but the vast majority DON'T want electric vehicles. They are a gimmick.
GM had a nice mid sized truck. The Colorado and Canyon. 2004 to 2012. Then they screwed them up. They just had to mess with them. Made them so fancy and raised the price through the roof.
Agree love the 1st gen Colorados. I just bought a 2011 Z71 with the V8 engine a couple of months ago and it runs perfect, no issues except maybe some new brakes.
From the 1970's and Older, GM Vehicles were made to last, now today's GM Auto Industry has failed multiple times and cannot last more than 150,000 Miles even some GM Vehicles begin to have mechanical and electrical problems and would have to constantly fix snd replace manufacturer parts or aftermarket parts and still won't last more than 15,000 miles... Ever since they made deals with other countries, GM has not been the same... There great looking in style of different designs through the years but when it comes to constantly fixing, I'm sorry but they are not worth buying... That goes with Chrysler and some Ford Vehicles... The American auto industry has never been the same and has failed for way too long with nothing but cheap metal, cheap plastic, cheap paint, and cheap low quality wiring but yet pay a vey high price for their vehicles and yet cannot be truthful of what they are actually worth which is a 2 star rating... You are better off with Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Lexus are the most reliable Car and SUV/Truck... Nissan cars and SUV are not great reliable vehicles except the Nissan Frontier, they hold up pretty good... Other American/European cars and SUV's are also not worth buying for they do the same thing, cheap but very expensive to buy and fix... Example, BMW, Mercedes Benz and more... Want the truth check out Scotty Kilmer's UA-cam channel, he's been a mechanic and technician for more than 50 years and he will tell you the truth...
NEVER believe a "miracle" from a US car manufacturer based on their ongoing legacy expenses for all employees, including firmer employees. If it sounds too good, then it clearly is.
In 1971 I bought a 1600 Datsun pickup truck. No frills. Crank up windows, heater and AM radio with a 4-speed manual transmission on the floor. Bench seat which could handle three people who were not too big. Lover the truck. Wish I could by one today as a runaround. As I remember I paid $2100 for it.
My dad had one. Ugly ass orange truck. Drove it till it literally rusted out. Don't remember how many times the odometer rolled over..... but it was quite a few. Wasn't fast, Wasn't flashy..... it just worked. It put food on the table for a couple of decades.
In June 1972, I bought a brand new Datsun 1200 for $1,959. It weighed 1,900 lbs. so, a buck a pound. It was a four speed and at 65mph it made 35 mpg. Best car deal I ever made.
What a SLICK ad. I don't believe all the junk you said till I see if it works. You built Mary Barra up like she might be wrestling on WWF! GM has built a lot of junk in the past. Let's see what really happens!
I was going to buy a ford maverick truck, they were advertising it at $22,000, when they first came out, went to the dealer ready to buy but they marked them up to $32,000 just for the base model, the mark ups were in black magic marker written onto and over the window sticker, ford dealers can put their trucks where the sun don't shine..
I ordered a '23 Maverick last September and when it arrived in March of this year, they honored the price at the time I ordered without trying to mark it up. Most of the Market Adjustment markups are trucks that likely were not picked up by the original ordering customer, or now dealers are starting to get some stock units and mark them up as much as $10k.
@@SGNbuff i got mine too price i ordered it at. my cousin found one in a small town dealer msrp 23688 sticker price 32900 he called ford directly and complained dealer got a call and they sold it to him for 25688 cause he got a few "upgrades" Ford and GM have shut down dozens of dealerships and fined over 200 plus in the past couple of years for overpricing vehicles.
I have a problem with the name, Why did ford call that the Maverick? When that name was clearly a car back in the day, every time I see one of those I cringe
I've refused to buy a new vehicle. You can buy 2 houses in WV for the price of a new truck. They've made them so ridiculously expensive no one wants to afford them. Just take all the crap off and make something that will get me 15 miles to work and not give me a debt like I just became a doctor... Damn
technically on paper it did. 15,995 was official MSRP of the 1LT in 2020 model year. No dealership likely ever sold the vehicle for that price however. They were in high demand so markup was common for vettes. Unfortunately that tactic was also used on almost every vehicle since the pandemic.
This is all BS. As it's showing different parts of the truck, you see the names Silverado, Canyon, danali, etc. Not one picture says Terrq. Whoever made this video is going to be in deep sh_t. Oh, and you can't find anything about them online, so nobody is ordering them yet.
Yeah, right. They still haven’t fixed the engine and transmission issues with the 1500 series. GM may sell these cheap tin cans but I guarantee you they will be in the shop like all their trucks. Go to any GM dealer and go to service parking lot and you will see tons on broken trucks. Engines blown and transmissions also. Junk!
GM does not come up with new ideas. They let other manufacturers do that and then copy the idea. Ford made the Maverick and now GM wants to get some of the small body truck market. The was the same when the PT Cruiser came out then GM made the HHR.
We had affordable vehicles before the government decided to force auto makers to add bs after bs to vehicles for no reason other than greed. Always remember, the more expensive the government makes things, the more tax money they get. Get government out of private business.
Even if this truck in Canada was around 30.000 dollars that’s still way better then paying close or over 100,000 for a truck I do hope this comes to market and now that the auto workers are on strike I,m hoping that this will help balance out higher price workers lower cost at the dealerships we will have to wait and see
@@huggy1712 Yes that helps alot , I park my stuff inside during the winter , Last winter it got to -68F with the wind a few days but i try not to go out in those conditions.
Greed has killed the American Manufactures that prefer having their Riggs made in foreign countries and then shove the price out of the ability of the average American making $12.00-$15.00 an hour, hurray for TOYOTA that manufactures in the USA...
I don't believe what ANY GM say with their others brands at all! No MORE EV! EV are grossly overpriced and expensive! Affordable I don't believe it! When you gain a base model, you want options. Now if you want AWD or 4wd right there it will jump in price by $10,000 or more and if you want sport trim or high end luxury and other from base price of $15,000 goes to $25,000 to pushing $30,00+++ NOT worth it!
I would buy it at that price point, I have no need for a 60 + truck manufactures are putting out there now. Just a basic truck like they use to be, but a small v-8 or v-6 would be nice.
Manufacturers aren’t putting 60k trucks out there, the dealerships are setting 25k dollar models at 60k. A brand new Silverado should be no more than 30k but because there’s laws where consumers can’t buy from the manufacturer the dealerships are pos and take advantage of that and mark the prices up by 15k because they are greed assholes
Add-ons are $15,000. Interest on the low-intetest loan, for 60 to 96 months, compounded daily is another (@12%) equals $$4,000 including gm fees.* GM (the new gm) totally restructured it's dealership business and financing. It was actually a take-over. Remember the push-back debacle of 2009-12? You do the math. gm even takes depositor's money to run the NEW gm owned dealership paradigm. It was made public 14 months ago! You do the math. You apply your own logic. (No, I did not get this info. from the gm Authority website.) I also turned down a job offer from New York with it's Finance Arm. The company is in in Bazar Land and it is never coming back. Neither is GM-Russia. The decades and decades of ribes was well spent. Right? It's disclosed on its website...if you go to the C.S. Mott Foundation portal. $90,000 to be ALWAYS maintained. Enjoy your new vehicle! They take your money and screw you over TWICE. {now do you get it?}
Thank you GM for making a affordable truck for people like me. Even on social security retirement can afford at $15000. It's a very nice looking truck as I see. And I mostly compete around town short vacations. I do told a small utilitaly Trailer for light weight towing that's about It thank you again For General motors, corporations to make this happen. Thank you again for thinking of love income people. I hope this gets to you then you can read I am ricky saint Charles michigan
I think if it ever hits the market it will be more likely to be in the mid to high 30000 market for the price, cause if it does come out below 20000 thousand all other pick ups will fall in price to be able to keep up will the buyers market
The Datsun 620 pickup fromt he early 1970s was a stripped down no-nonsense small pickup with an origninal cost of about $2,000. 4 on the floor, not meant to hill-climb and lacking any visual pizzaz - but it got simple jobs done (half ton pickups wwere not meant to be work horses - more like work ponies). When auotmakers today can learn to make a simple small utility vehicle, they likely will sell the ever living daylights out of them. And the video of larger pickups 4 wheeling up rocky gullies completely misses the point of an cheap utility vehicle.
Had one of those 1600s (a '71) in the mid and late 70s. No self adjusting brakes. You had to adjust them from a little window behind the drum brake and played the devil getting them balanced so they didn't pull right or left. They were under powered but still fun on fire roads. Great little off road motorcycle haulers. Forgot to mention, those 620s had multiple tie down hooks integrated around the bed and tail gate. Wish all current manufactures would do this. If wind drag is an issue, put them inboard at the top of the bed.
Bring back the small truck. I still have a 1975 Toyota Hilux, 1990 Mazda B 2200, 1995 Toyota Tacoma, and 1980 Ford F 150 that my children are driving. I'm still driving my old 1960 Ford Truck. I wonder if the Electric cars or trucks can last this long?
@@sonnypippin8061 I'm a Toyota guy. What I'm saying is if you read carefully is bring back the small trucks. If you notice the trucks I listed are all small gas trucks. 1960 Ford was given to me by my father. I'm almost 80.
Vehicle manufacturing has not kept up with projections. Thirty years ago we envisioned 60+ mpg on the way but it seems like they've been stalling on the promise while increasing the cost of new cars and trucks. I'm sure they aren't cooperating with Big Oil to keep efficiency down 🙄
@@Herefornow-571the vehicles in Europe are also much smaller and better for daily travel. Everything in America is about being bigger and more wasteful. The gas prices are also much higher in England so a smaller engine helps offset the mpg. If the US had the smaller engines with cheaper gas prices it would definitely hurt the oil industry and the CEO's would have to take a huge cut in pay.
Along with making parts designed to fail after the 35k warranty and engineering so that owners can’t work on the vehicle without a special tool or computer, or hellish designs on replacing parts they are keeping customers coming back like drug addicts.
I wish Mantra would start selling it mid sized diesel 4 banger here. They sell them everywhere else. Basic 4x4, stick shift truck. Only options are AC, and a AM FM radio (which is installed at dealership).
It would be nice to have a affordable pick up but By the time it gets out to market It will be well over a affordable price with dealer mark ups and low availability driving up the price.
A $80k truck gives you so many problems with less than 20k miles. Just imagine a $15k vehicle. It will literally take you from the dealership to the mechanic shop the same day 😢
I remember going to the dealer when the PT curser came out 2001 for $18K, but the Dealer window sticker said $32K? I walk away so fast and never came back. I bought a 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Regular Cab for $19K. I still have it and runs awesome.
I would worry about small engine reliability. Truck would suck if motor took a crap within 3 years of having it. I think V-8 is Breyer all around engine. It’s been out for decades and is easy to find parts or people to work on them.
Best small pick up I've owned was a 2003 Mazda B2300 (Ford Ranger) with no frills. It was what was called a "loss leader" or stripper It had a 5 speed manual trans., crank windows, no power anything and the only concession to comfort was power steering and an AC. I ran that truck to 110,000 miles before trading it in. I paid $9,000.00 for it new and got $4,000.00 in trade 13 years later. Only had one major expense in the time I owned it, that being a fuel pump/sending unit (WAY OVER PRICED!!!). The only issue for me was the 2.3L engine was under powered. If I could have, I would have gotten that exact same truck with the 4.9L inline 6 Ford used to produce. Unfortunately that engine was only available if you paid for all the "Bells and Whistles" add-ons that ran the price way up. For all you tech-no junkies, remember the old adage the more complicated the plumbing the easer it is to stop it up. That also applies to over complex electronics systems.
my fathr had a 2011 Ranger XL 87000 miles and sold it for 11gs last year. i got a friend who doesn B2000s and Rangers hits junkyards in 5 states had tons of parts and has rebuilt and fixed dozens od scrapped trucks and sold them for thousands in profit each
I had a 1998 and a 2002 Mazda B3000 - both were new. I leased the 98 to see if I liked the Mazda pickups and bought the 2002 Dual Sport regular cab for 13k in December 2002. I handed the 2002 Mazda B3000 down to my son who drove it to 200,000 miles and sold it last May for 4k when his Ford Maverick finally came in. I did have to put some money into the truck to get it to 200,000 miles, but I don't think I will ever find another value like that truck ever again.
In 1997 I bought a brand new GMC 1/2 ton and from the moment I drove it off the lot it was a total dumpster and constant money pit. But IF they offered a brand new truck that looked like the one in the Avatar, I MIGHT give GM another go. I don’t think it will happen, especially in light of the eventual new UAW contract and I would probably wait a year and see if Ford or Toyota came up with something to compete.
My 58 studebaker Scotsman truck was 1200 brand new, no bells and whistles still running strong! my next purchase was my 85 f350 crew cab which I bought used for $3k and I still drive it today because trucks were forged to last not programmed to fail. you can buy a lot of gas for a car payment.
I hope they figure out what development will work out during the processing while producing such a affordable solution to everyday use. I wanna new truck. 😩 if they mass produce at least 100,000 I'm sure I would purchase 1# if it's 15-20$ K even if it's just for a spare vehicle that's what's more important. Being able to own a brand new truck regardless if it's light duty or midsized under 25K that's refreshing even if it's only gotta functioning usage of 7yrs thats just as important as the price.
I’m throwing the bullsh$t flag out n this one🤨
I think you are right. I can’t find anything else on this Terra.

Me 2!
did a google search and not a damn thing comes up other than this idiotic video.
If Tesla can't do it, no way in hail GM could ever do it
When these trucks hit the dealer you probably won't find one under 20k, the dealership will mark up these trucks like there is no tomorrow.
I'd be a lot more willing to believe this video if it hadn't kept showing a Top-of -the-Line Denali pickup while the narrator raves about the Terra.

That’s what we need; an affordable pickup truck. Hopefully it happens.
The concern of reliability and long term use. But these concerns were never a concern to EV. 😂
My $18k 2004 Silverado WT now has 336,000 miles and going strong. The 4.3 6 cylinder is a great engine.
This is awesome motor

GM had a nice mid sized truck. The Colorado and Canyon. 2004 to 2012. Then they screwed them up. They just had to mess with them. Made them so fancy and raised the price through the roof.
same with the base s-15 and s-10. Just 2 doors without extended cab or extra doors will sell like hotcakes.
Agree love the 1st gen Colorados. I just bought a 2011 Z71 with the V8 engine a couple of months ago and it runs perfect, no issues except maybe some new brakes.
Bought the 2015 Canyon. Loved it but the darn thing had so many QC issues that I traded it a year later.
From the 1970's and Older, GM Vehicles were made to last, now today's GM Auto Industry has failed multiple times and cannot last more than 150,000 Miles even some GM Vehicles begin to have mechanical and electrical problems and would have to constantly fix snd replace manufacturer parts or aftermarket parts and still won't last more than 15,000 miles... Ever since they made deals with other countries, GM has not been the same... There great looking in style of different designs through the years but when it comes to constantly fixing, I'm sorry but they are not worth buying... That goes with Chrysler and some Ford Vehicles... The American auto industry has never been the same and has failed for way too long with nothing but cheap metal, cheap plastic, cheap paint, and cheap low quality wiring but yet pay a vey high price for their vehicles and yet cannot be truthful of what they are actually worth which is a 2 star rating... You are better off with Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Lexus are the most reliable Car and SUV/Truck... Nissan cars and SUV are not great reliable vehicles except the Nissan Frontier, they hold up pretty good... Other American/European cars and SUV's are also not worth buying for they do the same thing, cheap but very expensive to buy and fix... Example, BMW, Mercedes Benz and more... Want the truth check out Scotty Kilmer's UA-cam channel, he's been a mechanic and technician for more than 50 years and he will tell you the truth...
Is this fake, literally nothing on the internet about this
NEVER believe a "miracle" from a US car manufacturer based on their ongoing legacy expenses for all employees, including firmer employees. If it sounds too good, then it clearly is.
In 1971 I bought a 1600 Datsun pickup truck. No frills. Crank up windows, heater and AM radio with a 4-speed manual transmission on the floor. Bench seat which could handle three people who were not too big. Lover the truck. Wish I could by one today as a runaround. As I remember I paid $2100 for it.
My dad had one.
Ugly ass orange truck.
Drove it till it literally rusted out.
Don't remember how many times the odometer rolled over..... but it was quite a few.
Wasn't fast, Wasn't flashy..... it just worked. It put food on the table for a couple of decades.
In June 1972, I bought a brand new Datsun 1200 for $1,959. It weighed 1,900 lbs. so, a buck a pound. It was a four speed and at 65mph it made 35 mpg. Best car deal I ever made.
This is all fake you're showing a g m c canyon
Damn good truck....know them well!! 👈
I had one in the early 80s and everybody laughed at me because the Box literally it was rusting out and disintegrating but it kept running and running
What a SLICK ad. I don't believe all the junk you said till I see if it works. You built Mary Barra up like she might be wrestling on WWF! GM has built a lot of junk in the past. Let's see what really happens!
can we get a 2 door ? don't have any use for a 4 door so of course there won't be one
2 door, same overall length (same chassis/drive line to keep costs down(
So we can have a longer bed.
😂😂 missed a 1 there champ. 115k is more expensive than many houses. Its not budget at all.
I was going to buy a ford maverick truck, they were advertising it at $22,000, when they first came out, went to the dealer ready to buy but they marked them up to $32,000 just for the base model, the mark ups were in black magic marker written onto and over the window sticker, ford dealers can put their trucks where the sun don't shine..
I ordered a '23 Maverick last September and when it arrived in March of this year, they honored the price at the time I ordered without trying to mark it up. Most of the Market Adjustment markups are trucks that likely were not picked up by the original ordering customer, or now dealers are starting to get some stock units and mark them up as much as $10k.
@@SGNbuff i got mine too price i ordered it at. my cousin found one in a small town dealer msrp 23688 sticker price 32900 he called ford directly and complained dealer got a call and they sold it to him for 25688 cause he got a few "upgrades" Ford and GM have shut down dozens of dealerships and fined over 200 plus in the past couple of years for overpricing vehicles.
I have a problem with the name, Why did ford call that the Maverick? When that name was clearly a car back in the day, every time I see one of those I cringe
@@raiban719I have owned Mustangs from 1966 to a 2005, the Mustang E makes me want to puke.
Got my Maverick for 25 800 out the door. Ordered it turbo XL.
I've refused to buy a new vehicle. You can buy 2 houses in WV for the price of a new truck. They've made them so ridiculously expensive no one wants to afford them. Just take all the crap off and make something that will get me 15 miles to work and not give me a debt like I just became a doctor... Damn
Wasnt the new Corvette supposed to cost like 60k?
They sure did and I can’t get a 2020 c8 for 60k
Thank the dealers and high demand for high prices of super popular makes. It's the market effect of anything good and short supply.
technically on paper it did. 15,995 was official MSRP of the 1LT in 2020 model year. No dealership likely ever sold the vehicle for that price however. They were in high demand so markup was common for vettes. Unfortunately that tactic was also used on almost every vehicle since the pandemic.
@berky1976
So true.
And the "market adjustment" add on's are ridiculously HIGH.
IN 1958 a new corvette was $5000 out the door.
This is all BS. As it's showing different parts of the truck, you see the names Silverado, Canyon, danali, etc. Not one picture says Terrq. Whoever made this video is going to be in deep sh_t. Oh, and you can't find anything about them online, so nobody is ordering them yet.
B.S. If Govt Motors still sold the Vega it would cost $30k now.
More
Truth
I really liked my Vega. When the body rotted out. I put the motor in my boat and got more years out of motor...
Yeah, right. They still haven’t fixed the engine and transmission issues with the 1500 series. GM may sell these cheap tin cans but I guarantee you they will be in the shop like all their trucks. Go to any GM dealer and go to service parking lot and you will see tons on broken trucks. Engines blown and transmissions also. Junk!
If that is the price, I might consider buying one after checking it out. I don't want an 90k truck mortgage.
GM does not come up with new ideas. They let other manufacturers do that and then copy the idea. Ford made the Maverick and now GM wants to get some of the small body truck market. The was the same when the PT Cruiser came out then GM made the HHR.
Just give me a quality dependable model with no special options and im happy. Some people dont care about all those features.
We had affordable vehicles before the government decided to force auto makers to add bs after bs to vehicles for no reason other than greed. Always remember, the more expensive the government makes things, the more tax money they get. Get government out of private business.
No way this will happen at $15k
Well I I will not buy an electric vehicle at all. Keep With a Gas engines people want them may me myself I will not buy a Electric vehicle
Even if this truck in Canada was around 30.000 dollars that’s still way better then paying close or over 100,000 for a truck I do hope this comes to market and now that the auto workers are on strike I,m hoping that this will help balance out higher price workers lower cost at the dealerships we will have to wait and see
They don't do well when its -60 outside.
Most vehicles don’t at that temperature you won’t to make sure it’s plugged in
@@huggy1712 Yes that helps alot , I park my stuff inside during the winter , Last winter it got to -68F with the wind a few days but i try not to go out in those conditions.
I do not blame you I try not to go out when it’s cold stay in side and hibernate only go out when you need to
Greed has killed the American Manufactures that prefer having their Riggs made in foreign countries and then shove the price out of the ability of the average American making $12.00-$15.00 an hour, hurray for TOYOTA that manufactures in the USA...
EVs are not green, making the batteries pollute the air more then gas powered cars and trucks!
Cheap does not imply quality.
This a hoax. We spoke with sales at a Chev dealer today who confirmed this is a hoax.
I don't believe what ANY GM say with their others brands at all! No MORE EV! EV are grossly overpriced and expensive! Affordable I don't believe it! When you gain a base model, you want options. Now if you want AWD or 4wd right there it will jump in price by $10,000 or more and if you want sport trim or high end luxury and other from base price of $15,000 goes to $25,000 to pushing $30,00+++ NOT worth it!
Two things will prevent that. Greed and regulations.
I'll believe it when I see it. It's still a GM product, which means dealers may get one if they're lucky. 2 month wait usually with a 2k deposit.
Not interested in the woke climate hysteria.just give us an affordable GMC
Mary makes about 300,000 a week
It sounds like the terra would compete with the Ford maverick it will be interesting to see if it ever comes out
Try finding an msrp Maverick! Same thing will happen here.
@jimandersen3003 this is a parady. Sorta like an April fools joke.
If it has cylinder deactivation = its not for me.
I would buy it at that price point, I have no need for a 60 + truck manufactures are putting out there now. Just a basic truck like they use to be, but a small v-8 or v-6 would be nice.
Manufacturers aren’t putting 60k trucks out there, the dealerships are setting 25k dollar models at 60k. A brand new Silverado should be no more than 30k but because there’s laws where consumers can’t buy from the manufacturer the dealerships are pos and take advantage of that and mark the prices up by 15k because they are greed assholes
You can get a nice motorcycle for fifteen thousand
Add-ons are $15,000.
Interest on the low-intetest loan, for 60 to 96 months, compounded daily is another (@12%) equals $$4,000 including gm fees.*
GM (the new gm) totally restructured it's dealership business and financing.
It was actually a take-over. Remember the push-back debacle of 2009-12?
You do the math.
gm even takes depositor's money to run the NEW gm owned dealership paradigm. It was made public 14 months ago!
You do the math. You apply your own logic.
(No, I did not get this info. from the gm Authority website.)
I also turned down a job offer from New York with it's Finance Arm.
The company is in in Bazar Land and it is never coming back.
Neither is GM-Russia. The decades and decades of ribes was well spent.
Right? It's disclosed on its website...if you go to the C.S. Mott Foundation portal.
$90,000 to be ALWAYS maintained.
Enjoy your new vehicle! They take your money and screw you over TWICE.
{now do you get it?}
Thank you GM for making a affordable truck for people like me. Even on social security retirement can afford at $15000. It's a very nice looking truck as I see. And I mostly compete around town short vacations. I do told a small utilitaly Trailer for light weight towing that's about It thank you again For General motors, corporations to make this happen. Thank you again for thinking of love income people. I hope this gets to you then you can read I am ricky saint Charles michigan
I think if it ever hits the market it will be more likely to be in the mid to high 30000 market for the price, cause if it does come out below 20000 thousand all other pick ups will fall in price to be able to keep up will the buyers market
They said the C8 would be 58000
The Datsun 620 pickup fromt he early 1970s was a stripped down no-nonsense small pickup with an origninal cost of about $2,000. 4 on the floor, not meant to hill-climb and lacking any visual pizzaz - but it got simple jobs done (half ton pickups wwere not meant to be work horses - more like work ponies). When auotmakers today can learn to make a simple small utility vehicle, they likely will sell the ever living daylights out of them. And the video of larger pickups 4 wheeling up rocky gullies completely misses the point of an cheap utility vehicle.
Had one of those 1600s (a '71) in the mid and late 70s. No self adjusting brakes. You had to adjust them from a little window behind the drum brake and played the devil getting them balanced so they didn't pull right or left.
They were under powered but still fun on fire roads.
Great little off road motorcycle haulers.
Forgot to mention, those 620s had multiple tie down hooks integrated around the bed and tail gate. Wish all current manufactures would do this. If wind drag is an issue, put them inboard at the top of the bed.
I’d love a 2500 HD Denali but 90k is ridiculous
GM, get your dealerships in line or they'll destroy everything you are trying to do.
$11,995 Market Value Adjustment
I’ll believe that price when I see it.
These are cars with quite reasonable prices
Watch dealers add "market adjustment" to the price.
MSRP 15k
OTD with market adjustment 35k (if not more).
Bring back the small truck. I still have a 1975 Toyota Hilux, 1990 Mazda B 2200, 1995 Toyota Tacoma, and 1980 Ford F 150 that my children are driving. I'm still driving my old 1960 Ford Truck. I wonder if the Electric cars or trucks can last this long?
And what's wrong with the trucks that GM has to offer???? I've had better luck with GM products than Chrysler products and Ford products...
@@sonnypippin8061 I'm a Toyota guy. What I'm saying is if you read carefully is bring back the small trucks. If you notice the trucks I listed are all small gas trucks. 1960 Ford was given to me by my father. I'm almost 80.
Hope it comes to UK. A very basic truck with less problems with sensors.
The American dream, made in China. Mary Barra has been an absolute wrecking ball to GM’s future. Not even a $15k truck could save GM now.
Vehicle manufacturing has not kept up with projections. Thirty years ago we envisioned 60+ mpg on the way but it seems like they've been stalling on the promise while increasing the cost of new cars and trucks.
I'm sure they aren't cooperating with Big Oil to keep efficiency down 🙄
Really? Big oil conspiracies? Worry about the Covid plan and anti nuke/anti natural gas lunatics!
Vehicles sold in Europe get 60 mpg and better. The greedy American oil cartels will never allow it here...
@@Herefornow-571the vehicles in Europe are also much smaller and better for daily travel. Everything in America is about being bigger and more wasteful. The gas prices are also much higher in England so a smaller engine helps offset the mpg. If the US had the smaller engines with cheaper gas prices it would definitely hurt the oil industry and the CEO's would have to take a huge cut in pay.
Bingo you win 🏆
Along with making parts designed to fail after the 35k warranty and engineering so that owners can’t work on the vehicle without a special tool or computer, or hellish designs on replacing parts they are keeping customers coming back like drug addicts.
There is nothing on the internet about it
I wish Mantra would start selling it mid sized diesel 4 banger here. They sell them everywhere else.
Basic 4x4, stick shift truck.
Only options are AC, and a AM FM radio (which is installed at dealership).
It would be nice to have a affordable pick up but
By the time it gets out to market
It will be well over a affordable price with dealer mark ups and low availability driving up the price.
Like the 58000 $ c8 Corvette
A $80k truck gives you so many problems with less than 20k miles. Just imagine a $15k vehicle. It will literally take you from the dealership to the mechanic shop the same day 😢
I remember going to the dealer when the PT curser came out 2001 for $18K, but the Dealer window sticker said $32K? I walk away so fast and never came back. I bought a 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Regular Cab for $19K. I still have it and runs awesome.
The PT Cruiser was a piece of junk. You don't see hardly any on the road anymore.
PT CRUISER, WORST VEHICLE MADE BY MAN.
Needs to be a hybrid and turbo
Stick shift, vinyl seats and an AM radio, I'm in!
$55k after dealer mark ups
I would worry about small engine reliability. Truck would suck if motor took a crap within 3 years of having it. I think V-8 is Breyer all around engine. It’s been out for decades and is easy to find parts or people to work on them.
Best small pick up I've owned was a 2003 Mazda B2300 (Ford Ranger) with no frills. It was what was called a "loss leader" or stripper It had a 5 speed manual trans., crank windows, no power anything and the only concession to comfort was power steering and an AC. I ran that truck to 110,000 miles before trading it in. I paid $9,000.00 for it new and got $4,000.00 in trade 13 years later. Only had one major expense in the time I owned it, that being a fuel pump/sending unit (WAY OVER PRICED!!!). The only issue for me was the 2.3L engine was under powered. If I could have, I would have gotten that exact same truck with the 4.9L inline 6 Ford used to produce. Unfortunately that engine was only available if you paid for all the "Bells and Whistles" add-ons that ran the price way up.
For all you tech-no junkies, remember the old adage the more complicated the plumbing the easer it is to stop it up. That also applies to over complex electronics systems.
my fathr had a 2011 Ranger XL 87000 miles and sold it for 11gs last year. i got a friend who doesn B2000s and Rangers hits junkyards in 5 states had tons of parts and has rebuilt and fixed dozens od scrapped trucks and sold them for thousands in profit each
99 Mazda B4000 (4.0) 296,000 it has tow package so lower gear, its horrible on fuel its biggest issue.
I had a 1998 and a 2002 Mazda B3000 - both were new. I leased the 98 to see if I liked the Mazda pickups and bought the 2002 Dual Sport regular cab for 13k in December 2002. I handed the 2002 Mazda B3000 down to my son who drove it to 200,000 miles and sold it last May for 4k when his Ford Maverick finally came in. I did have to put some money into the truck to get it to 200,000 miles, but I don't think I will ever find another value like that truck ever again.
I had a 1995 B2300. Traded for a GMC 1500 WT. I wanted my B2300 back within a month
Ford was going to do this with the Maverick, 15k price tag went down the road real quick. I'll have to see it to believe it.
Don't expect this to come to reality.
$40k is what it will be if it ever comes to market, and then there's the dealer markup too.
Where are your sources?
In 1997 I bought a brand new GMC 1/2 ton and from the moment I drove it off the lot it was a total dumpster and constant money pit. But IF they offered a brand new truck that looked like the one in the Avatar, I MIGHT give GM another go. I don’t think it will happen, especially in light of the eventual new UAW contract and I would probably wait a year and see if Ford or Toyota came up with something to compete.
$15k toy truck?? 😂
My 58 studebaker Scotsman truck was 1200 brand new, no bells and whistles still running strong! my next purchase was my 85 f350 crew cab which I bought used for $3k and I still drive it today because trucks were forged to last not programmed to fail. you can buy a lot of gas for a car payment.
Ha ha , sure.
I hope they figure out what development will work out during the processing while producing such a affordable solution to everyday use. I wanna new truck. 😩 if they mass produce at least 100,000 I'm sure I would purchase 1# if it's 15-20$ K even if it's just for a spare vehicle that's what's more important. Being able to own a brand new truck regardless if it's light duty or midsized under 25K that's refreshing even if it's only gotta functioning usage of 7yrs thats just as important as the price.
Not at 15 k!
I believe all truck manufacturers should come out with a budget truck that don't break the bank but has some good options.
Never happen!
It started out at 8 thousand now 15 and if and when it comes out it will probably be 45 thousand 😮
Uhhh NO! There will be no 15k truck, FAKE NEWS here...........
I hate the AI voiceover. Video after video uses AI to read the script but they fail so hard. "Dollar Fifteen K" ....
Cmon!!! 15k truck! Sorry everybody, that will never happen!😂😂😂😂🤦
