I would call lower sales a good thing. Hopefully ppl are waking up to these ridiculous prices and stop paying them.
that's not the issue. it's not difficult to not be poor
@@davidporter7051you can be able to afford something and still feel it’s a dumb decision. $70-80K over 5 years for a half ton is just not worth it. Ridiculous price points yet I’m sure the executives of all these brands received substantial raises.
@@davidporter7051 if you wanna pay 50k for a basic truck go ahead but theres a differance between fair pricing and just raising them up till no one wants to buy them anymore.
@@davidporter7051it has nothing to do with not being poor, it’s about not overpaying for trucks which will force manufacturers to lower prices. Buyers have been idiotic the last few years paying whatever the selling price is and it has made the manufacturers greedy!
@@SuzukiKid400 once again prices are where they need to be. Prices are nearly the same for 2+ decades. And you are being poor.
Nobody can afford this stuff
stop being poor
@@davidporter7051stop being a dick
just you bud
Literally 1 million people disagreed..
You're 100% correct... Just because someone has enough each month for the car payment, doesn't mean they can afford the vehicle.
Glad sells are down, the automakers are ripping off the people with crazy prices and options that we don’t need.
It's options we don't need, but I have one of the last truly basic trucks (reg cab, crank windows..) and whenever somebody sees it and comments they talk as if they stepped in dog mess when they observe the trim level.
@@shoveII bet they are the same guys that “want” basic truck but never actually buy one.
@@shoveI That's why I was saying it was stupid when people were shttng on GM in 2019 for not having fancy enough interiors and keeping up with the top trim levels from Ford and Ram (which were more expensive as a result of all that extra nice stuff and gimmicky features). GM had lower MSRP's at the time. Then because everyone whined and the auto journalists bashed them for keep prices down, they went hog wild and loaded the interiors up and raised their prices as Ram and Ford kept competing for most expensive trim.
Exactly pick what you want and then they try to force you into three or four options you don’t want and make the 300 dollar option you wanted go to 3000 dollars
But sales are not down
Tommy, glad you were able to roll out of bed to join us. 🤣
Probably most people have decided that the prices are so high it's not worth it. If I bought my truck in the exact same configuration, it's 13,000 more now. Sorry but 75k for a chevy silverado 2500hd duramax Z71 with cloth seats is ridiculous
Even with all the problems of my 2020 2500hd ltz diesel, the same truck as a 2024 is 86k. I bought mine new for 66k. No way they added 20k with of stuff... where? what?
2017 lTZ 2500 z71 Duramax! with 105k miles zero issues! Wish me luck!
This exactly. Inflation hasn't been that bad, and the supply issues from the pandemic are resolved. Prices are just too high.
@@kmonto1971that’s where inflation of all products involved in its construction, comes into play.
NOBODY CAN AFFORD THESE TRUCKS ANYMORE!
"Nobody"..?
@@chadbrinkley6358hardly anyone, the meat of the truck market can't afford it
@@dirtbagliberalsnake5729 appears around a million buyers disagree
Then why are the top 3 selling vehicles ford f150, chevy Silverado and ram trucks?
Maybe when people who need them are the only ones who buy them the prices will come down.
Stop chasing capability in the 1/2 ton class, start focusing on reliability, affordability and overall low cost of ownership.
There is no reason to pull a 12000lb trailer with 1/2 ton. Most people aren’t pulling more than 6500lbs camping trailers.
Also stop making them giant looking bricks the visibility out of the newest half tons is terrible.
This is the best response.
this comment is basically what I've been saying besides the towing part didn't think about that and I'm lookin for a used truck
Unfortunately, buyers drive that demand. We buy the one with the bigger numbers (power, towing, payload). And these reviewers don't help the issue because they reward the trucks with those bigger numbers.
Just because a1/2 ton can pull heavy loads doesn't mean it can handle it. You wind up with the tail wagging the dog 🐕
I’m not paying 50k for a basic trim truck
70+k for basic F250-350 XL 4x4 crew cab with powerstroke diesel.
get a smaller truck
@@jermainec2462same issue. Nobody wants to pay close to 50k for a midsize truck and it’s not even fully loaded. Prices are too high across the board
4x4 with a full size cab no options = $50k. that’s insane!!!!!!!!!!
@@jermainec2462 There's no way I could ever go from a full-size to a midsize.
All bad news for buyers who paid $$$$ markups for pickups over the past few years. All trucks are at least 40% over-priced.
A 40k truck a few years ago is 50k+ just from inflation
Good luck ever seeing prices recede 20% let alone your 40%.
@@karlschauff7989 Ram is currently offering 10% off and this is before they go into panic mode. I think they will hit 20% in the next few months.
@@FM4AMGV Subway used to sell $5 foot longs. Today that same sandwich is $14
@@thelarry383 There were a lot of franchisee's that opted out of that the last time it was put on. Subway treats their Franchisee's like dirt. I remember paying around $9 or so 4 or 5 years ago when I went there last, so that tracks with inflation.
Prices are totally out of control! 5 years ago I was buying a fully loaded F-150 XLT for 42k and platinum for 60k. I will not buy these trucks any where near these prices.
If you were to compare your 5 years old truck with the new version, other than upgraded tech & some additional standard features, for the most part it’s the same truck. Same design, powertrain, mpg etc but the price of that XLT is about 20k more than what you paid back then. That doesn’t make sense. Ford saw people were overpaying during the pandemic so now they want to continue the trend by having you continue to overpay. I’d suggest to hang on to your current truck and keep it as long as you can.
10 years ago it was difficult to drive the price of an XLT over $40k and a Lariat was in the low $40k's. Ford is starting to get as insane as Ram and that's a dangerous thing considering Ram prices have gotten so bad that they have a year worth of Ram HD's and still have 2023 Ram 1500's on dealer lots.
The price swing is coming. I'm in Canada - in 18 months we went from seeing dealerships selling trucks for $10k over MSRP, to now $10k under. That said, the MSRP is still ridiculous for most trucks and SUVs.
And yet you still can't find a car at any Toyota dealership
@@ytj22 smart people stay faaaaaar away from crapyota
It’s illegal to sell over MSRP in Ontario.
@@marcelo403polo2 apparently not.
@@SuzukiKid400 Dealers get around this by installing non-negotiable add-ons and accessories such as rustproofing, paint protection, etc... and then charging ridiculous prices for them.
Stop putting 20" screens and all this tech! Less electronics and keep the price down because of it!
Less hp and tq would save a lot more money
I bet screens are actually cheaper to implement than physical switches buttons and gauges. This is just price gouging.
@@georgelin8498 I was talking about all this tech crap is garbage. We don't need electronic parking brakes.... etc

Show me YOU can do that, without taking your eyes off the road with a screen! Basic functions on a vehicle, controlled by a screen where you have to take your eyes off the road to operate are NOT as safe as manual controls! When your eyes are on a screen and not on the road, you have an accident, where is your price saving now? And when 1 manual switch mal-functions vs a screen mal-function, what is the price difference? Companies, PLEASE offer a less expensive option than the current trend towards electronics. I feel you would sell more vehicles in total when you include a BASIC model in your line-up!
Glad to see sales are down. Especially with the stupid high prices, terrible financing rates, and so so quality.
The success of the Maverick tells the story. Customers want a nice affordable truck, where they can enjoy some bells and whistles without having another mortgage payment.
Where did the $20k mavericks go? They will just slide the scale to make up.
I literally shop for a new truck Every day, but even when I find one that I like. When I calculate the monthly payment, usually around 1200 a month, I just can’t justify it. Then moving down to used trucks I always come to the conclusion that it’s not really any better than what I have now 🤔
No wonder Stellantis is having trouble selling vehicles. If youd bought one recently and had trouble with it, youd know how horrible they are to deal with.
Ive owned my new Ram Cummins for a little over a year. Still dealing with vibration and transmission issues.
It only gets better when the customer demands better. And they aint the only game in town.
I wouldn't buy SH1T from Stellantis
Fix it again Tony
Service and warranty ducking for years.
They should just give you a new truck from the lot. I heard they have a year's worth of inventory sitting around, surely they have something similar they can give you lol
Tommy looks more like his dad in every video.

I was coming to make some sort of comment. Way too aged to be so unkempt. A concerning lack of hygiene.
It sucks when someone making 10 times more than you is able to do so without having to maintain a strict appearance to keep their job like the rest of us.
😂
Dont understand why someone would come on screen looking so disheveled..not a good look
His generation thinks that's cool! 😎
Easy to see the reason... PRICES are too high. Nobody want a truck with this amount of electronic, people want a good, reliable and affordable truck.
F the chicken war CARB BS, I WANT A NEW SMALL REGULAR CAB MANUAL TRANSMISSION PICKUP! with manual windows manual locks, manual lockers 4x4 obviously with a bullet proof drivetrain, keep all your stupid gadgets!
Exactly!!! I don’t need a truck that drives itself or warns me of lane changes.
@@EnjoytheinbetweenAmen! I don’t want a “luxury” truck or a truck to do faux SUV things I need a pickup truck to do pickup truck things!
100% to me a luxury truck is simple to work on and fix myself with parts that don't stop womrong in a few years. Simple basic truck.
You had me except at Power Locks. I really do enjoy power locks. And power Windows too. Like I have a 92 Explorer with power Windows and Locks and that's a luxury I don't think I'd want to give up. Even on a work truck that's just too convenient.
😂😂 idk what year you crawled under a rock them days are over ... get base ford Maverick if u can one or base nissan frontier... that's about as simple as it gonna get ... all yo peers want big trucks with big tech and big luxury... ima afraid you are the Minority
Prices are too damn high. If these companies want to sell trucks then a ram bighorn or xlt, what whatever the chevy equivalent is, should be high 30s low 40s. They will sell a bunch for trucks. Cut this tech crap and give us trucks. It's really simple. But a comfortable bighorn ram is over 60k. That's just plain insanity.
Exactly! I want a basic truck with no screens or tech crap. Cna I even order a Bae model f150 anymore with no giant screen and no carpet?
@RobertJLessard I mean the screen will stay no matter what because of the backup camera being required by the government. Unless they would use a rear view mirror setup like chevy did years ago. But I completely agree. I truck that is usable and comfortable for the family doesn't mean it has to be a luxury vehicle.
@@kuhndog-1196yeah the screen will stay but 13,14,15inch screens with tablet like features are unnecessary for some. This adds costs and makes this trucks pricy
@DarthNero oh absolutely. I have no use or desire for a huge damn screen. I have a 17 power wagon and that 8.4 inch screen in that thing is as big as I would go. I wouldn't mind the 5 inch or whatever it was they had. It's the first vehicle I have had with a screen. Hardly use it.
The maverick sells because its commonly the cheapest thing on the lot other than a bronco sport or escape.
Tommy just rolling outta bed with that hair?😂 Hoping this helps with reducing prices or incentives still rolling in a 2002 gmc sierra
Sam Bankman Fried and Michael Cera mashup. I love the moptop.
Stay gold.
lol you got the truck I’m looking for with that sierra
Some of these “dealers” are still demanding market adjustments for trucks you can find anywhere. Liberty chevrolet (Selma, Ca) tried to slip in a market adjustment when I bought my ZR2 Silverado. Found another one at a dealer and paid msrp.
All I know is once a month someone tries to buy my 87 F150. Trucks are still wanted, but not at these prices
Also add in the steep rise in insurance premiums with these new trucks.
Took my wife’s Mustang to the dealer for a recall yesterday, and the F-250s on the lot were between 80 and 95k, and they had a Raptor R on the lot with a 50k “market adjustment”. The fact that it’s on the lot tells me that sales are down, in the Tampa Bay Area, people around here haven’t been concerned with these high prices, but now it seems to have finally reached its peak.
Maybe if RAM didn’t take away the v8 the sales wouldn’t have dropped so much. That’s call ignoring your audience.
That hemi needs a update
@@843MudMafia.Why? Are you going to save planet earth with epa suits?
No, It was outdated, underpowered, and slow revving which was compounded by peaky torque and HP numbers. A constant negative in comparison tests was the Rams lazy and lackluster V8. Just an old engine that wasn't competitive with the 5.0 and GM's 6.2. They needed a whole new V8 architecture and a don't think Stellantis corporate had any interest in that.
Piss on the shitty hemi. I ordered a Ram because they had done away with the hemi. There's nothing worse than the hemi tick.
@@dcl97 yea I had two hemi's and now a hurricane. The hemi was a good motor back in the day but I love the hurricane and and the way it drives.
Ford has done nothing but shoot itself in the foot with the F150.
1. 2.7EB is the base engine, sure, no problem, but then they stripped it of all of the heavier towing packages to force you into a 5.0 or 3.5 if you want an F150 with more capability than a Ranger. "Streamlined product offerings"...read that as "We make the most profit on these"
2. Can't get the hybrid now in anything but a 4x4 XLT. Some of us still want the hybrid to tow with (Especially with the 7.2kw gen) and don't need or want the added complexity of 4WD or the XLT trim level. (And fix your options so you can actually order the towing mirrors with a 'max tow' 3.5 Powerboost)
3. Overall quality is in the doghouse. 5 Recalls on our 2022 Maverick and counting, F150's don't seem to be faring much better.
4. Fix your 10R80 problems
5. Have we fixed 3.5 cam phasers yet?
6. Killed off the payload packages across the board (small sellers sure, but MEH)
7. ~$50,000 for a 2.7 STX? - Seriously? This is where we are now?

I want a truck, but I don't want to have to finance it for 969 months... 😂
2014 the truck I priced out was 55k CDN...now the same truck is 85K CDN...WTF??
It seems strange that the Tundra is up. My local dealers, in a region where Tundras have been very popular, have rows of them. They don't seem to be moving at all.
So they have lots of them because they sell lots of them? Like in a grocery store you will see racks and racks of bread and it's not because the bread isn't selling. I wonder if dealerships want more availability?
Read the raw numbers the sales are up but the production numbers are down significantly: 30Kish. same with other manufacturers. So overall it’s trending down even for those listing an increase
@ytj22 well, I don't go and chalk the tires, but from what I see, they're not moving. I'm not seeing people on the lots, trucks driving around, or noticeable changes in the rows of Tundras.
The Toyota lot near me has about 30 tundras and 20 Tacoma prior to that they would have like 4 tundras and about 7 Tacomas
Ridgeline had a stop sale due to recall of tailgate wiring harness for backup camera.
For the first time in 30 years, I can no longer afford a Pick up truck! Who can afford a $100,000 pick up truck??
Ram raised prices to nearly $70k and sales are down 19%, not a shocker.
Ram doesn’t listen to its customers! Refreshed V8 Engine option is a must, Everybody hates the Dial shifter but Ram doesn’t care, Prices keep going up! Instead of refreshing models with more power & specs that customers demand they change colors and trims!!!
Would you invest in revamping a V8 when regulations in their current form all but make it impossible meet starting in 2027. This isn’t a customer driven market when the epa is dictating extreme emission reductions.
@@redtitan29If people are welling to pay yes! And with minimal tweaking the 5.7 HEMI can produce 400-420HP easily
@@Kliffy77 It’s has nothing to do with power, it’s controlling CO2 emissions. If emissions exceed what regulations allow then the automakers have to either pay a fine or buy credits both of which raise the price.
@@redtitan29 i understand, Reflect the price on the customer who is welling to pay.
U paying for alot of dates and tech on the ram@@Kliffy77
I just want cloth seats, crank windows, optional a/c, and rcsb as options
The bad news is good news. Trucks shouldn't be a luxury/status item, automakers keep making trucks ridiculously bigger and more expensive and they are pricing people out of their segments.
The market is finally self-correcting and we should all be thankful. Truck prices are simply out of control. There is no more "free money" and rates are insane, even with perfect credit. This needs to happen.
For Ram in particular and yes I'm a fan, but they went absolutely insane on pricing with far less updates on their trucks against the Big 3(HDs especially). I hope this forces downward pressure on pricing, with incentives already pretty sizeable right now. GM is getting it right because they're being disciplined on their core truck pricing, their midgrade trucks.
I think you’re right, the prices are too high.
We are all talking about the truck price being too high. It is not just the truck pricing, but overall inflation end results of printing unlimited currency. Big Mac Combo is $10, Waterburger Combo is $10 ,
You may find that the Titan becomes a desirable full size in coming years. One of the last of its kind. Reliable naturally aspirated V8 with great MPGs and decent tech.
RAMs are just too expensive, and now without the Hemi V8 sound, it's not really a interesting to me. I love my Rebel, has been reliable since day one, but based on current prices, really not in the market for another RAM. But everything is so pricey these days.
Purchased a new 2024 Titan XD Pro-4X, $10K off & 0% for 60 months. Love that it’s just a straight V8 with no gas/efi regulating BS or turbos, or anything else. V8 to a 9 speed, no other crap to get in the way. Last of a dying bread.
The price of all vehicles are RIDICULOUS!
I wish there was an HD breakout as well, willing to bet they're up across the board, except maybe Ram. For sure Chevy, probably Ford, and maybe GMC.
Feels like for the past three years I’ve been chasing truck prices, and the gain in price has out done how much I’ve had to save
New F-150 XLT grill is ugly and its priced as a Lariat now. Reason enough for that -8% for me.
And when you really load it up, it's flat out priced as a Platinum. Can't remember if it was on here, or elsewhere they showed a fully loaded XLT- $73K.
If you pay anywhere near that for an XLT- you're an idiot. Plain and simple, you're an idiot, and you let the dealer not use any lube.
That was what drove me away. The XLT and Lariat are just too expensive and I agree, the XLT is ugly. Everywhere I looked, XLT's were pushing $60k. What happened to the Lariat being a slightly nicer XLT? You'd think it's a Platinum with the way their prices are.
I wonder how the Ford aluminum body has affected sales of new trucks? I have a 2018 F150 aluminum w/3.5 EcoBoost. After 78,000 miles in the rust belt, I have absolutely no rust. I've always said, once the body goes the truck is nearly worthless. Mechanical issues are much easier and cheaper to fix than rusted out bodies. I've delayed buying a new truck because my existing truck still looks and runs like new.
My 2019 f250 looks great in northern illinois. too bad they didnt give the ranger the same treatment. I've been considering a midsize and that would definitely give ranger the edge.
The math looks incorrect on full size suv totals. Seems like it should be a negative number.
i just got back from vacation and saw a few (so more than i've ever seen collectively) Wagoneers as private hotel shuttles and higher end suv rentals too.
Tommy hit it on the head with prices and interest rates. I'm willing to bet that right there is 95% of the issue.
Andre I felt was really grasping for straws when he tried to reason the cyberattack may have been the cause.
Also is something up with the camera? The video feels a lot... idk, softer than usual? Almost like it's a bit blurry compared to how it normally is.
I love my 23 RAM Limited more every day.
There are very few Colorado's on the lots around me still. There is a 113 listed in a 100 mile radius, but most are just stock photo, I think there may only be 20-30 actually on the lots. So I think availability is really hindering sales.
I paid $68,000 CAD for my Lariat F-150 June 2019.
Priced out what is essentially a replacement, and it's now $106,000 CAD.
A 56% price increase in 5 years? I'll keep my truck thanks.
Maverick is the truck America wants clearly 81.4 % increase . Waiting for any sort alternative hahah😂 I guess the maverick stands alone . Flip side of it f150 prices are out of touch with American buyers . I honestly don’t see Ram being sold here in US by 2030 at this rate . They need new truck midsize yesterday and compact truck and less ev.
I have seen dealerships withhold manufacture and delivery rebates. Not surprised that sales are down. There are still plenty of 2023 models on the lots.
I'm planning to buy a sub 30K truck in the near future, just waiting for the prime rate to come down. My local Ford dealership has Maverick's but interest rates on them are in the range of 7.9 -8.9% even with my excellent credit score (850) and 15% down.
Not many people can afford $70,000+ for a new pickup.
I would suspect that sales are down because of interest rates. Also my local Ford dealer had these dealer add on costs, not a markup, but dealer added items? High profit security systems and other stuff.
Wagoneer sales went up because they're offering massive discounts on them.
Thanks Andre and Tommy. Great Informationl video👍🙏
Due to the high prices of many vehicles, people are shifting their views on new vehicles ownership. I’ve noticed a growing trend of people appreciating and keeping their current vehicles for longer. More and more people who typically buy new every few years are choosing to wait longer because the additional benefit isn’t there for what you pay for.
Today vehicles are not significantly better than they were few years ago but their prices have been raised as if it is the case. Inflation cannot be excused because automakers like Stellantis for example raised their prices by 50% despite inflation being at 22%. Most of the price decisions is out of corporate greed more than other reasons.
The average age of U.S. vehicle is now up to 14 years old. People are holding on to their cars for longer than ever before because of the new vehicle costs. Also the average age of a new car buyer is also up to a record high of 53 years old. They're the only ones that can afford these new car prices and their the only ones buying new cars. This downturn shows the disconnect between what car companies are doing (fully jumping into the tech - everything trend) and what the people that actually buy the cars want especially considering their age (physical buttons and not having to have an IT degree to change the A/C blower speed). So it's not a surprise sales are down when the car they have works fine and the new one is more expensive and harder to use.
Until the industry does a 30% price adjustment I would suggest not buying.
Keep buying the expensive trucks. We need good low mile used trucks. Always good when taxes and depreciation is paid by someone else.
For me, as a RAM owner, I dont like not having the HEMI and I am not crazy over the new look. It looks like the old gen, but smushed in.
I’ll run my 2021 Laramie as long as I can also doesn’t have auto start stop
@andre there were no 2024 F150s in inventory the 1st of year. Still inventory is slim.
Rumor was QA reviews were slowing shipments.
All vehicles are priced too high. Higher interest rates are making it more difficult to make that monthly payment. Thanks for the review.
Simple math - redic inflated prices, horrible interest rates and equally challenging fuel prices = no value to the customer. Add-in the radically declining quality and reliability to the equation and you have perfection 👌
Nobody wants $70k-$90k+ trucks. Especially since they aren't as reliable as previous years and are moving away from v8's. No thanks. I ordered my loaded, crew cab, 4 wheel drive 07 GMC Sierra z71 SLT from the factory and paid $43,000 for it. To get the same truck today or as close as possible it would cost me $65000+ depending on manufacturer. Sad. I understand that prices go up but they've exceeded the normal increases over time.
A quick look at an inflation calculator for $43,000 in 2007 to 2024 comes in at $65,133.77.
So this equals the price you mentioned.
$43,000 in 2007 was also expensive.
I'm having to go back to a 2002 F250 diesel to make truck buying somewhat affordable. Still costing quite a large sum for a 22 year old truck.
Prices need to be cut in half at least.
Love my Ford Maverick. Waiting on the RAM 1500 Ramcharger to determine whether I'm going back to full size or not.
So, trying to figure out why some trucks or up in sales while others are down in sales is tough. A lot of people think it's the high prices, but GM is up, and their trucks are just as expensive as the others. Is reliability the reason for Ram sales tanking, could be but do we know that for sure. The one that I think I have figured out is the Tundra. Last year I was looking at buying a new 1/2-ton pickup. The Tundra was my leading candidate. The problem las year was the lack of inventory at the dealers. I kept looking for one with the color, trim and packages I wanted but never could find the one. I even had a couple of salesmen looking for me, but they would always call me about ones that I didn't want. If I am paying that much money for a truck, it's going to be what I want. I just bagged the idea of a new truck and decided to stick to my old one that's paid for. I still check the dealers and their inventory is much higher than last year. So, sales are up because they have product to sell.
I've purchased several Lariat model F-150's through the years, 2021 most recent. Now I'm priced out of the trim, and I won't downgrade to an XLT to get a similar price point. I'm afraid I've bought my last truck.
Priced the same ($55k), 2024 Chevy Colorado Z71 or 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road?
Really struggling making a choice between these two.
The wagoner took off because of e-rebates, a friend of mine bought one because it was the best deal… when he bought it. Even though 3mo later it sucks donkey on practice
Wonder how those Toyota numbers are going to be in another 3-6 months with the engine and transmission failures.
You hit the nail on the head for the Wagoneer. Rental car fleets are inundated with them. I rented one from Alamo in Orlando and there were rows and rows of them. Stellantis probably gave out some sweet fleet deals. The vehicle isn't that great and it's depreciating more than others in the segment. Try to close the hatch without bumping your head. Reach in to get your cellphone from the wireless charger and watch the hazards come on or the lane assist switch off. Such a weird design on those.
great info, thanks guys
@andre why are Ram sales down 19%. Lack of the Hemi? Inventory?
Serves Stelantis right for flooding the market with that " Classis" 2018 RAM for the last 5 years. 3 generations of "new" RAMs on lots at the same time.
What part of the country are the Maverick and Santa Cruz selling in? I have seen exactly one of each in our rather rural/farming area since their introduction while midsize trucks seem to be selling well with half ton RAMs being in great demand with Fords close behind and Chevys/GMCs running well behind. All that is just from personal observation and not the numbers you have access too. Thanks for yet another great video!
who would have thought that way over priced trucks and high infaltion would cause sales to go down. This a great thing. truck prices are ridiculous
Is there a recall for the new Tacoma? I heard a rumor that their might be a Super duty Ranger I read that it might just be a heavier frame for towing and payload that would be cool.
Prices are through the roof on new vehicles,so who would be able to afford one!!! Not surprised that the sales are down!
Yesterday I built my EXACT Sierra 1500 that I bought 3 years ago on the GMC configurator and the MSRP is $11k more expensive and is almost $18k more than I paid for mine.
For the EXACT same truck.
Did you check an inflation calculator? Everyone seems to forget about it. Your dollars don’t have the same weight from 3 years ago. Msrp matches inflation for example a 50k truck then= 60k now.
I was mad about paying 45k for a 23 Tacoma 4x4 off road loaded last year. But…. I’d be doing a hell of a lot worse getting anything right now.
Outrageous pricing, high inflation, and a lack of dependability/quality. Hmm, sales are down, shocking!!!
Im still paying on a 2016 Sierra SLE Z71 that I purchased before covid. GM trucks used were on average cheaper used than the F-150 and Tundra that were comparable to the truck I purchased. These new truck prices are disgusting. At this point im becoming interested in buying an older truck and restoring it if i had to purchase another one even if I had to take out a loan to do the restoration.
Now, match the sales trends with each OEM's pricing strategies and this will make sense. Buyers are sick of being overcharged for trucks to subsidize EV's no one wants.
Not sure these numbers check out. Having a hard time believing the tundra is up 30% given everything happening with that truck. And the lightning up almost 80%??
I expected these numbers to look worse. Do manufacturers count the unit as sold once it’s in a dealer’s possession or are these numbers for trucks actually bought by the end consumer?
Those numbers aren't bad at all.... considering the prices of trucks those numbers are pretty damn high!!!!!!
Hey! Ford & Rams negative reflects the amount they increased prices😂
I stopped and looked at a Ram 2500 a few days ago. No wonder the dealer is texting, calling me and emailing me every day. Those numbers are terrible!
Interest rates and price hikes not a good combination.
Unfortunately, unit sales declining isn't necessarily a thing that will trigger big discounts at dealerships. Many manufacturers will take more profit per unit sold and sacrifice some volume. Ford is actually one of the few that started the practice of carrying/selling less inventory but increasing markups per unit sold. It is profitable for them.
I’m seeing a lot of 2024 XLT F150’s listed online for ~$9200 off MSRP. I paid $9k less than MSRP on my 2020, which I thought was a pretty decent deal at the time. Maybe things are getting back to pre-pandemic norms. 🤷🏼♂️
Tried to buy both and Ford and Ram today and despite lots full of trucks, they had no interest in making a fair deal.
Had a sales guy tell me that $950/mo over 72 months was a reasonable payment on a $40,500 STX.
The cyber-attack hit me as well. Had to wait a bit to get my truck signed off. Then on the way home, someone rear-ended me. Ford F150 Turboboost
