BUYING a Truck at the WORST Time to Buy....

- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Buying a car or truck right now is insane because of the semiconductor shortage causing a supply shortage of new and used vehicles...but as so many of you have pointed out, I really need a truck. So, I bought a truck!! And of course I'm sharing the whole truck buying experience with all of you.... at the end of the video we will reveal which truck I bought!!

“But I almost died last weekend”
-fair
#1 reason NOT to buy anything right now besides all the other things going on in the world. A serious life event does screw up rational thinking. Plus, I don't know exactly where he lives in the city of Chicago, but a brand new truck looks like bait to me. If he needs a truck to do his YT thing, I would get a beater truck to haul crap around. I'm an auto brat (Dad worked for one of the big 3) and I get the thrill of a new vehicle, but I've learned over the years, that a vehicle is just that....wheels.
Ford dealers originally were charging crazy amounts over MSRP and the manufacturer put out a statement that if the dealers kept abusing the clients they wouldn’t deliver anymore vehicles to them. As before Ford dealers were charging that 10K+ amount.
Ford, GM, Dodge etc etc are charging well over MSRP
@@kansascowboy5721 I just paid exactly MSRP for my new Ranger Tremor, they are no longer overpricing them
The big stink was with the F150 lightning some of the dealers were going crazy
Ford is the manufacturer. DEALERSHIPS were charging crazy amounts over MSRP and FORD put out the statement.
So the msrp is what Ford is charging/recommending.
Dealerships are marking it up, and they're not direct representatives of the manufacturer, just the middle man. The Ford dealership I go to does under msrp.
Congratulation to your new Truck!
11 M/gal?? This is about 21.4 l/100 km. No wonder US-Car manufacturers have so huge problems selling their products here. You could never sell such a thirsty Truck in Europe.
That is literally four times higher than I get on my Qashqai. That's insane.
Thats a Roush tuned version which get stupid mileage, not comparable to standard trucks.
@@dadsquatch79 Yes, the only thing stopping me from becoming an American is gas mileage..
@@Davey768 nah, more like a total mindset. Don't really care though. Keep on licking the boot leather.
And in Denmark we are nearly forces to buy electric, cause we have to be green, what does et matter in little Denmark? and we also have insane taxes on cars, nearly 180% so many people drive in small cars, that nearly can be parked on the bed of this truck, with I 0,8 liter motor, and around 60 hp with manuel gear, cause automatic costs extra tax... oh. and by the way, the tax is cheaper if there is no back seats, then it can drive as a van, but then if it is privat owned the yearly road tax is 4 times more expensive then the same car with rear seats (in Denmark we pay a yearly tax for driving on the roads, based on the vehicle, emission status, fuel consumption and so on, and the we can drive as much as we want)
Glad I bought this one ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH . I had a customer looking for a shed that didn't look 'prefab' and was rustic, but "cute" (her term). I showed her the cover of the book and, with a few modifications, she was sold. I've never built a shed but I do have some framing knowledge. The info on roofing is very helpful to me. I was also psyched that the section for the shed on the cover had measured drawings for the trim boards and keystone pieces for the gable ends and over the windows. Should make life a little easier for me.
Nearly died, gotta buy a truck.
That’s all the reasoning needed.
holy fuck, 11 mpg is equivalent to 21 l/100km - that's an insane gas-guzzler
And you can't even see over the hood in any of these trucks.
US motor choices in a nutshell. Not all cars and motors are as bad, but it's a general trend in the car market over there. Hopefully more expensive fuel may push for some efficiency there as well.
So the game in the US is that we have legislation raising miles per gallon minimums, however car makers get to average out their mileage across their whole fleets - in other words they can sell a pile of compacts, sedans and SUVs (getting 20-30/mpg) and then not care about trucks as much.
13:11 pretty sure they were lying to you about someone having already bid 10k over msrp. I recently bought a hybrid suv and the salesman kept telling me someone was coming in to look at it after me. I stuck to my guns with my offer, said if he wants a sale now, he can take it, or he can take his chances later (because I knew there was no other bidder). I ended up buying the car for my initial offer so don’t be so desperate.
Also, kinda sus they wouldn’t let you film there.
Yeah, I second that “no filming” comment. Once you add that to the “bidder” you know you’ve got a double-decker bullshit sandwich.
I'm not aware of any non-suspect Toyota dealerships in the Chicago suburbs, so I wasn't surprised at all with the pricing or the filming policy. The filming rule is so that they don't get caught in doubletalk😑
OH TREMOR! I was wondering what a Trimmer model was….
Jesus thank you! I was about to book a hearing test.
gotta love that midwest twang lol
Fun video, a little different from your norm. So glad to see you are recovery well, but don't push too hard. Now is the time to work on planning and documenting future projects, so that when you are closer to 100% you are prepared to hit it big! Keep up with the great content, would love to see more before and after scenarios.
Excited to see more house updates, been with you since the start 🙌
Same! It's been an awesome journey so far!
Same here! Been an epic ride for sure!
As a hardcore Chevy fan I'm also extremely disappointed in the interior of the newer Chevy trucks. Hopefully they change their design in the near future because right now its not cutting it at all.
They did update it in the 2022 refresh. Much better.
Apparently u don't watch any UA-cam channels that have been mentioning that the 2022 1500's got a new refreshed interior. The 2500's get the new refreshed interior in the fall for the 2023 model year. Check out General Motors Jeff's youtube channel & Brian Mello's channel.
I shoot cars and trucks for various dealerships so I get to regularly get a close look at all the brands and I will have to say, GM/chevy trucks are the worst of them all. their interiors are still cheap and nasty compared to the other two. The exterior design just looks like its trying to be too imposing and ends up looking stupid. I don't understand why GM has been moving towards such a tall and flat front end across their product range. I pop the hood and the top of the engine is easily a foot and half under. Why on earth would anyone want a tiny slit of a windshield and a huge hood that blocks your view of anything in front. The tundra is a bit like that too but at least the interiors are nicer and are more reliable. I think Trucks need to move back to being actual functional work vehicles instead of "image" vehicles.
I was hoping for a build vlog when I saw the youtube notification from you, but I didn't mind this one bit, just seeing you up and about is great, and as a car guy as well, I enjoyed the vid. I would mind a weekly vlog just to know that you are holding up from your surgery :) looking forward to the next update from you!
Thanks Tobias!
GMC and Chevy trucks are ALWAYS outdated on the interior, it's insane. They're like a full model cycle behind on their interiors and it's a shame.
In this video you stated twice that you’re lucky. You’re not lucky, you’re blessed! Wish you the very best in your recovery. God bless… Keep up the good work.
Seriously though, how have you recovered that quickly? That's insane.
For real that was a life threatening experience yet he looks healthy now😳
Had the same (similar) surgery and I'm still recovering. I could not tolerate a seat belt/lap belt for more than 5 months post surgery. You must heal faster.
@@belagu4517, Just because it was life threatening doesn't mean it takes longer to heal.
I feel like he was pretty fit and healthy even before the incident, and that certainly helps recovery much more quickly. In hospital i've seen people recover in just a matter of days. Huge surgeries like total hip replacements when uncomplicated have you up and walking and home in a matter of days.
@@--2 his blood vessels literally ruptured. Also can you give me a life threatening situation where you can immediately heal (physically and mentally) in less than a month?
Love and prayers to Andre and his Ukrainian family. We are in the UK and are helping in any way we can. Pleased to see you are healing from the operation as well
I am so happy to see that you are looking healthier! Hope recovery is going well thank you for taking us truck shopping, it was so much fun!
Really happy for you with the new truck. I'm glad the doctor is clearing you for more activity, I just hope you still take care of yourself. I was really saddened to see what you had gone through and I really hope you never have that happen again.
Glad to see you back dude!
To get into those trucks, I'd definitely need the running boards... or a stepladder!
Glad to see you're healing well. Congratulations on the new truck! Love the VLOG style videos mixed in with your regular build videos. I wouldn't mind seeing more on the channel 🙂
I’m really glad to see you’re recovering well! That was a fun roadtrip. I’m glad you got the truck with all the options you wanted and I love that color!🌸
Your looking well brother!! Thought and prayers out to you since the last video update about what happened. God has your back and you have a load of people here that care as well !
Congrats on the new truck! Couldn't believe my eye on Archbold--grew up very close and we did all our banking there. Great little community! Glad to hear you're doing better. All the best!
Great choice Mike, I love the color and I'm glad you found what you wanted with the options you wanted. I'm sure I don't even have to tell you how life changing having a full size truck will be when doing home renovation and future projects and that truck looks awesome! Can't wait for the kitchen reveal and I'm glad your healing up fast.
Congrats and glad to hear you are starting to get better. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Love all your vids, this was another fun ride along, cheers and glad you are starting to feel better.
I’m so happy to see a new video! I’ve been quite worried and am glad to see you are recovering.
I can speak for all of us when I say that we’re so happy you’re here.
Very happy you are recovering so well and good luck with the truck.
Thanx for the ride along. This was great fun, hope you put the beast to good use. Stay on the healing path brother, you were one lucky dude. Looking forward to the continuation of your home. I’ve enjoyed the journey since the beginning. Respect ✊
Great video and so happy to hear you’re doing a bit better!
That Operation scar was insane, you were really lucky/blessed to pull through that aneurism, recover hard and enjoy life.
Happy to see you again healthy. It's great to watch your videos. Sharing your skills and ideas is very helpful for me sometimes 👍
Good to see you up and around. Congrats on the new truck!
So glad to hear you are healing well. Congratulations on the awesome truck.
I really like seeing a vlog from you. It was unexpected but it did not disappoint! Hope to see more of this from time to time alongside your builds!
As a no car guy, this vlogging style video of you was still so fun to watch. Living the life! Good spirits! :D
It’s good to see you up and about. I just had my kidney removed, so I can relate. Hang in there and good luck with your new truck!
Oh what did you buy?, and did you try to offer the shirt of your back first?. I really hope you didn't consider an arm and a leg.. 😁
Just want to say I'm glad you are up and about again. I'm not one for commenting normally but really appreciate your content and glad to see you back at it.
It's nice to see you well my friend. Take care of your self and please when you have full recovery upload more videos and enjoy your self.
Great to see you up and about, can tell from your movements that you're still struggling to heal fully. Take it easy.
absolutely loved this, just did the same thing in Dec 21' and felt the market was bad then, so seeing how it is now, WOW. YOLO and best wishes as you heal!!! Thanks!!
Best of luck for continue recovery and hopefully its speedy
Congrats for the truck and your health improvement. I can no wait to see more house updates. Be safe.
Glad you're recovering nicely. Love the content!
Great to see you moving around and venturing out. Nice truck! Crazy what their asking for vehicles right now!😳
Love the dark blue color. Mind blowing to see Archbold and Mom’s diner in the video. We have family there - the milkshakes are the highlight… of the whole town.
Nice truck...I have a GMC Sierra, I love it ! I am a 62 year old grandma from Texas.
So glad you are doing better.
So Happy your doing better. Please be safe, take care of yourself, and we are not leaving you. Love your channel. Great truck. Looks like a beast and is Fun to Drive. Enjoy it...
Glad you are recovering well! Best of luck to you. Enjoy the new truck.
Glad to see you back and putting out content!
Nice to see you're doing well! God bless you!
The GMC and Chevy problem is the 8 speed AT. If you get the 6.2 or the Duramax they come with a 10 speed AT. But wait until 2023 for the new body.
The refreshed ones are rolling out now. But the 2500 refreshed ones will be out in the fall. Plus the Electric Silverado/Sierra come out in 2024 model year.
Sick truck! Couldn't imagine driving this in Belgium but would 100% buy this when i would live in the US. Nice present to yourself, you deserve it! Enjoy!!
Congrats on the new truck! And it's nice to hear you're healing up nicely
Mike I am glad that you are doing much better . Please keep taking good care of yourself and try not to overdo . Congratulations on new truck . I hope you really enjoy it .
Congrats on buying a new truck happy to hear your healing!!
nice purchase bro, glad ur on the mend keep strong
You are looking so much healthier! GREAT video today, too.
Fun video. Congratulations on your new tool / toy. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Always great to see a new video. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
My wife almost died Christmas 2019 (a similar experience to you as it happens). While she was recovering in the hospital, we decided to get a car (we live in central London and made the choice a few years before that we could get by without one) Best decision we ever made! Couldn’t have gotten through these last 2 years without it.
Great job on finding your dream truck. It’s a beauty! And good to see you recovering well too. Take care of yourself x
Hope you are feeling better man baby steps please please please just don’t over do it I’m so excited for whatever you pick as far as the truck goes
Great video, glad your doing well. You are one of my favorite content creators out there.
Great vid. Enjoy the truck, you deserve it!! 👍👍
I appreciate the informative nature of this video as always, I get some great information from watching your videos. Thank you and may you continue your healing journey
Happy for you, Bro. That truck is so awesome!
Congrats on the new truck! Definitely made the more responsible/practical buying decision, but oh man I’m a sucker for horsepower. I would have had a very hard time walking away from that Roush… lol.
Good to hear ur doing better. take care
Not lot of people did the research you made and it's real good advise you give for every one 👏😁Take care of you :)
So glad your recovery is going well. Cool new truck. I like the blue with orange accents.
I’m currently chanting “roushe, roushe roushe! “ in my head, cause smile per gallon matter more to me than the mpgs
Edit: didn’t like the original tremor you showed, but I stand with you choice… looks awesome and that color scheme is awesome
Congratulations for your new ride! Great news you are healing.
So glad you are healing well! Enjoy the new truck.
Roush seems pretty cool. I’m glad you have recovered so quick. Hope you keep recovering so fast!
Brother awesome! I also wanted a Cybertruck. Reserved a couple of days after the announcement. I'm pumped but yeah we're waiting another 2/3+ years
Good to see you are recovering well, I'm loving the truck, it's a machine (cool), take care and don't rush to do heavy lifting too soon 🤗
Very interesting and different video, I really enjoy it. Your face with the ROUSH was like a poem man, you really wanted that one :D
Just happy to see you healthy and back to work.
So glad you are feeling better!!!
New word: "Badassery-modified". Absolutely love it, and will use it from now on!
Truck looks great man. Im a Toyota snob, but i have to admit that the details, moonroof, and the tech are really nice. Happy to see you enjoying life a bit more.
Stay one lol, just got a highlander platinum. Have had avalons, Camrys, a few Lexus. I want the new tundra sooooooo bad. I only paid 1500 dealer markup though
You look and sound great. Glad you are on the mend. That truck has a gorgeous paint job and nice driving/safety features. Good job!
I’ve been following you for awhile. I’m glad you are recovering well. Having Andrei along was brilliant!! We all want to do something for the people of Ukraine & you provided a way that I feel comfortable with.
Glad you are better. Nice ride!
Glad to see you're on the mend! Enjoy your new truck!
Nice truck n glad to see your heeling well. Look forward to next instalment of home build
Good to see you back on your feet doing better
The truck market has been crazy for The last 5 years +. I bought a new truck in 2017, I realized quickly that I was saving $4,000 for a vehicle that had 40,000 miles and simply wasn't worth it.
Congratulations on your new truck! I'm looking for a new truck, but I'm concerned about mileage and the mark up in this market. I'm not in a hurry, so I can wait a while. It was fun living vicariously through you as you got to buy a new truck! Very glad you're on the mend!
Glad you are feeling better, I have an F-350 Tremor Diesel.. and I like it.. Enjoy the new truck look forward to the kitchen video.
I traded my GTI for a truck too a few years ago. Never looked back, you won't regret it!
I had the exact same problem when getting my car. There’s simply no used cars. I decided on getting a new Suzuki swift sport, so happy with it! Hope you enjoy your well-deserved new truck!
Grats on the new truck! I wish I could fit a full sized truck in my extremely narrow driveway but I've been relegated to a Ford Ranger STX. Luckily its a solid mid sized truck that I bought back before the pandemic and I couldn't be happier with it.
Super happy for you! Enjoy it and enjoy life. Blessings from AUA/NL
I’m actually so glad you opted for the full digital dash
Good to see you well brother💪.
So great to hear your on the mend. We all want you back in tip top shape. I had a feeling you would go for the ( tremor? ) have fun with your new truck.
God damn! American trucks are more or less buildings with wheels!
Don't get me wrong, I see the appeal and utility of these things. But im pretty glad that these monsters are not really practical for most UK roads.
The headlights are basically a whole door of a European car 😂😂
They're not really practical on US roads either.
I do not see any utility on such big cars.
Congratulations on the new member of the family!!
Love you man stay safe, crazy different video but was great content, keep up the amazing work and keep on truckin’
Back in the day, I had a huge liking to the early 2000 Ford F150 Lightning. It was rare at the time to see many on the road and when you did, I always got excited seeing in passing.
