The pickup truck dream is dying and American's are refusing to buy these overpriced trucks from Ford, Chevy and RAM.
The average vehicle payment in America right now is at an all time high of $750, and truck payments get even worse with costs soaring to well over $1,000 per month.
Pickup trucks sales are on a decline in the first half of 2024 compared to last year and according to bloomberg… it’s a huge threat to Detroit’s profit engine. - Авто та транспорт

Just a word of advice: slow down your pans with your camera. Or, if you like doing fast ones, just mount your camera on a cordless drill, it'll be easier on your arm.
I’ll keep my 08 and when it dies I’ll make the payments on a long block probably the same payments as when I originally bought the truck
Yikes, BetterHelp is not a good company, look up UpperEchlon he did a video covering their bad behavior.
BetterHelp is a bad company and you should feel bad too.
So what you're saying is we're all going to need therapy after watching these depressing videos
Not spending $80,000 on a pick up truck doesn’t mean you’re broke, it means you’re smart.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
How can I reach this person?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Marisa Michelle Litwinsky for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Maybe people realized spending 1000 a month on a vehicle is an idiotic thing to do.
I'd spend that if I was driving a McLaren or Rolls Royce. American pickup? Nope.
Lmao are you buying a 50 year old with half a million miles? You find me one that isn’t trash to finance for 1000 a month and I’ll buy it now
Mines 56 years old.. still under 40k miles but just barely. Paid 16k for it lol it’s more fun & gets more “nice car” comments than any of these stock $80k plus vehicles on the road.. I don’t have a payment but only because banks won’t finance vintage cars lol but I get it, trucks are meant to be used as trucks.. not owned for 2 years & traded in with 150k miles just to be resold for $10k less. Bought a 2012 Yukon for 14k 4 years ago because I needed a Tahoe or Yukon but didn’t want to spend more than 30k (let alone a mortgage payment) but I had to get one with 140k miles to stay under that price lol it was paid off last year & knock on wood, I’ll have it for a long time. I’ve always bought cheaper & kept until they’re worth more to keep than sell lol
The payment on my first house was $275.00 a month ! And that included taxes and insurance ! In 1972 !
@@User0000000000000004if you were driving one of those your smallest payment will be $5,000 a month. Depending on how much you put down and at $5k that’s only around $20,000 down
If they take a $100K truck discounted $20K it’s still $80K! All the discounts they offer means nothing if the bottom line is still high!
We should print this as handouts to give out in front of new car dealerships. The MSRP's (on avg.) went up well over 40% from 2019 to 2023. Overall inflation was around (give/take) 21%.

My co-worker's husband bought a truck for 35K cash on Facebook market. It turned out the truck was stolen and had to he towed. But the seller had the pink slip and all the necessary paperwork. Let's just say the seller disappeared, and they are down 35K. Be careful out there. Criminals are now desperate.

Sounds like something else we hear a lot about…after they’re done “forgiving” student loans maybe they can start paying vehicles off 😂
Broke? No, I just won't pay these prices.
These greedy manufacturers have to realize, that 100% of NO SALE is still nothing!
Absolutely. I can afford one, but won’t give one cent for overpriced junk.
They are delusional. I live in Wyoming and there is an idiot Ford dealer here still charging market adjustment prices just stupid. I hope they go out of business.
It’s the perfect opportunity to go walk the new car lots and laugh at the window stickers. No salesman can blame a person for looking and saying “nope, way too much, needs to come down by 30,000”
Here is the real problem. These companies will continue making a $45,000 profit each vehicle they can sell, write off the losses (unsold). Then when they go to far in the red. Our government will just steal another $8 billion from us and give it to them as a reward.
Its not the manufacturer who is the one is hiking the price up its the actual dealerships
We arent broke but we are tired of overpaying for trucks
Some people who are broke are gonna make very bad decisions and buy these. I can afford these, but i wouldn't buy one at full price. i'm expecting better deals to come up.

We need to reform the car business to get out of the manufacturer/dealer model.
These dealers have been completely fine with these prices because for every 1 person that purchased they made the same as if 2 people bought a car. What they forgot is, the number of transactions is the heartbeat of your business. Once you have people choosing not to come in to buy, it is far harder to get them back.

Comical but true, alot of these trucks you see out there don't have a scratch on, around or in the bed. But its a free country still and people can drive what they want. People gotta try to look cool I guess.

100k for a truck, which loses 50% after it leaves the front door

You can buy a nice airplane for less . Or an actual semi truck even . Probably could find a decent tow truck for that price and then get a good business going repoing all those overpriced trucks when the owners can’t make the payments .

I know, exaggeration but absolutely idiocy at its highest level.
Paid $4000 for my 2004 Sequoia in 2020. Now has 186,000 miles. Runs like a clock. No plans to replace it.
I spent $10k on rebuilding the engine in my car. Snatched it out and reinstalled it myself but had an engine shop do the important work. 280k miles on the chassis, 30k on the new engine. Probably bought myself another 10 years.
Just bought my 98 T100 with 80k for 7K. Also not going to sell ever.

Seen prices going up every year since I bought truck almost swapped it for the new 2024 f-250 but I said nope I’m keeping mine. It’s like brand new and it’s race red and people walk up to me every single day and praise this truck. Paid for and doing the same a $80,000 will do. You never pay sticker price on a pickup! Never. If they say nothing off go to another dealer. I’ve bought 6 brand new vehicles and never paid sticker price on any of them. Don’t get hustled into paying sticker.

I recently walked out of two dealerships because they refused to budge on their enormous “fair market markup.” People are still paying these ridiculous prices above msrp, even with the higher interest rates. The last salesman said they’d can’t keep trucks on the lot and there are 3 buyers willing to pay it for everyone that walks out. I went back to the dealerships a few days later and the trucks I liked had already sold. SMH
Anyone who takes out a loan on a car, and has a payment of $1600....is, to be nice, very foolish. I think automotive companies realized that there is apparently a large supply of stupid people, who were willing to take out a mortgage payment, on a truck. So, I kind of don't blame them for taking advantage of it. However, 2024 is a different time, and the free money ride is over. Now manufacturers are going to have to adjust--and lower prices, as the pool of stupid people is thinning out.

I have a receiver hitch on it and a kid with a 2 year old utility trailer that sits unused 99% of the time, so I can still do anything a pickup can do except heavy towing, which I have no need to do. Meanwhile, I get 60mpg on gas, and a half gallon of that each day, is not burned because I plugged it into the 120V outlet in my garage to "make" gas for about $1 ($2/gallon) and go 30+ miles on it.

Back in the day, they used to put all the "extras" in their top-of-the-line, limited luxury models (for the people that could afford them), so the rest of us could purchase a more cost-effective "standard" model that was actually "standard." No electric windows, no power locks, no automatic sliding doors and power liftgates (God forbid we exert ourselves opening a f*cking door or liftgate), no backup monitors, no heated seats, no 15 speaker sound systems...just a car with a heater, air and a radio to get you from point "A" to point "B" in reasonable comfort at a reasonable cost.
Now they cram unwanted add-ons to various degrees in all models...even trucks!! Remember when trucks were just trucks? Did we, as consumers, ask for all these guaranteed to fail, wallet-emptying "features?" Hell no, we didn't!!

You can get a new 2024 base F150 XL, 5.0 natty aspired Coyote V8, all pwr, limited slip rear diff, 2wd/RWD, with 1960 lb. payload/9,000 lb towing capacity, 6.5 foot bed, regular cab for under $40K.
@@lockandloadlikehelllol what a deal... Could get the same truck in 19 for about 25...
You also over paid
$39K in 2017 is worth $49K today adjusted for inflation, so that is a ridiculous price. I’ll never buy one. I don’t care how nice it is.
my gravel bike cost $700 my e bike cost $1,100 where I live in Alabama everything is within a 10 mile radius
Not sure why a lot of people buy pickup trucks when they could buy a car. If you aren't towing a lot of the time or using the cargo bed a lot of the time then you don't need to own a truck, just rent one when you need one.
Or ask your neighbour to help you with his truck and invite him to barbeque after
@@Haya12234 now ya talkin!
Those guys need a big truck because they have a "little buddy".
cars are becoming a thing of the past.

$47k for a W/T????? You know what's going to happen? None of the Detroit brands are going to budge on this absolutely insane pricing which is going to result in Chinese companies finally taking a shot at DOT standards which will open the door for flooding the country with affordable garbage. They are going to literally put themselves out of business with these $100k wundertrucks. I'd already be in a new car if they weren't over $50k. This is INSANE.
You really think the chinese will fkood the US market with 100% tariffs? They'd have to be selling for $25k in order to have a retail sticker of $50k.
Very informative vid 👍🏾.
It cost $20k to build a full size truck but they want to sell them for $60k to %100K.
Outrageous!
The worst part is that the quality and reliability doesn't reflect the high asking price.
Agree, when I bought my truck, it didn't even have cup holders in the back seat! Don't forget how fast they depreciate once you drive off the lot.
Advertising costs are higher they say :-)
@@henson2k if they were price correctly they wouldn’t have to advertise
30K for a base model, no thanks
@@SirAJentz Trucks don't have back seats.
$70k-$80k for a truck is insane in this economy… 🤦♂️
"in this economy" wasn't necessary.
@@User0000000000000004 huh?
Pick up truck sales are on decline because they are extremely over priced. In 2001 I used to sell cars and the msrp on trucks have doubled
That ad transition was wild 😂
My dad told me once they sell cars for $50,000.00 because people will pay 50K.
There NEVER is a shortage of STUPID people in this world .... (as in anyone buying...... )
As someone who makes great money anyone who buys a 40-100k vehicle on 100k salary is ridiculous and foolish.
Doubled my salary last year. This year I'm looking at things and wondering... "wait. WHAT? I need to double it AGAIN!!!?!"
@@User0000000000000004🤣🤣
Thanks a lot. At least im having fun.
Agreed
Or they own a business and can write it off....Duh
Middle class americans will spend $1000/month on a vehicle, then complain they can't get ahead in life or afford a house.....
There’s a BIG red pickup truck at a local lot dealership next to my home in Wisconsin.
I saw one guy stop to look at it, but it’s still there weeks later. I think it’s been there for a month or two now
Over 30% of my pay is taken in taxes, my groceries have doubled in price, I pay 4$ a gallon for gas, my property taxes are over 4k for an acre of land and a rancher, any social security I might get is now taxed...where in the hell do these companies think people are getting 50k+ for a vehicle plus interest payments and full coverage insurance?? FJB!!
Bro yes my gross pay is like 6k and my take home pay is nearly half of that it’s ridiculous
And to top it off I had to pay back money during tax season 😅
We’re not broke, we’re just not desperate or stupid
I would like a new gravel bike not a new automobile
$48,000 with ZERO warranty. A trans or engine for one is > $10,000.
My husband and I would never spend $ 100k on a truck! That is just stupid.
EVER NOTICE,, programs like this just REPEAT the exact same thing over and over.
That is because we are willing to click and comment over and over ha
And the liars say they are giving you 10 grand off which is a slap in the face. And that 10 grand off would be more like 5 grand after the dealer pulls the slight of hand acam.
This is true, multiple money saving discounts add up to right back where you were when you started. And then they ask if you want the extended warranty. Really?
True. That High country should be $47k. Those white plain vanilla Colorado should be $25k max.
And don't forget the states that add sales tax...
I keep expecting a dealership manager to come chasing you away for keeping people from buying new cars lol
I complained about the $400 a month payment on my Tacoma. Can't imagine these other people wow
When grocery prices have increased 25% since 2019, people will chose to buy food than to buy a new vehicle and pay the higher interest rate on an auto loan.
Some of us payed attention and saw this coming. They can keep their overpriced rolling piles of scrap metal. My vehicles run just fine and are paid off
Dealers needs to scrap that crap to keep inventory down and prices high .
These prices are insane. I'll wait... 😬
Much too expensive. I can't afford these ridiculous prices so you can keep these trucks until the cows come home.
I have a 2004 Ram 1500 truck 2wd. Paid off , still running good with 224k miles 😊
Congrats, man! 🙌👏👏
All of those people who bought those vehicles deserve every single consequence of their actions. Absolutely ludicrous to have bought these vehicles.
If you financed it then you couldn't afford it.
I'm not broke. I'm financially independent of needing my job. Part of the reason for that is that I don't buy stupid-expensive vehicles that are depreciating liabilities.
Exactly. Rather buy a good junker, fix it up and then squeeze every mile out of it that I can and spend no more then 10-12k then slave away to drive a shitty built gas guzzling behemoth Ford that breaks down every 20k miles
It's not about being broke, but there is no value in such ridiculously overpriced trucks. A decently accessorized Tacoma is over $60K, what kind of BS is that?
A Ford will be recalled with back ordered parts for six months.
I love(d) Ford. My last 3 cars have been Fords and I have owned 6 altogether besides 2 GM products. Ford’s quality is in shambles, the CEO is a POS and you couldn’t give me a new Ford now. I hope they fire the CEO and get back to quality being Job 1 soon.
You said it all with, "Overpriced". I don't need a show pony, I need a truck to work on the farm, to haul compost, lumber, stones, pull trailers. And when it comes to options, in this case less is more.
In late 2021, I bought a new '21 GMC Sierra 1500 regular cab, LWB V6 auto for ~$26,000. The truck has far more features than I wanted, far more than I needed. Paying more made absolutely no sense, especially knowing I expect to put 300,000 miles on the odometer. People are idiots to pay what trucks are going for now.
mine 4 door full size truck cost me 23,000 and i couldnt be happier done finished paying for it a few months ago
Can't afford $950 payments for 72 months. Even with a good down payment is still too high. $650 - $750 max.
$650 is still a joke. Should be $450.
FOR A TRUCK?? I had a $600 car payment for one of the fastest cars on the road that looked the part. But a TRUCK? Get right out of town. Take off.
A high trim truck should not be over 65k. I mean HIGH trim. You should be able to get into an entry level at mid 30's. This is crazy
Your bottom line is still too high.
@@davidthompson184 Agree. The "new"(w/inflation and interest rates) "Sweet Spot" ceiling is $350 to a max of $450 per month for us. Needless to say, I'm likely out of the new car/truck market forever. And oddly for me, that doesn't bother me now. Prices have become completely disconnected from reality.
That base truck should be no more then 20k
Well, try building one your self for 20k...
I'm sure glad we bought our truck in 2020, months later the same truck went up 20 grand
$1,000+ car payments 🤢🤮.
It's sickening. When I was in high school in the early 2000's my girlfriend's mom at the time had a $800 lease on an E-Class. I thought that was outrageous as a 16 year old. Now as a grown man with two decades of inflation, I still think an $800 payment is absurd.
my gravel bike cost $700 my e bike cost $1,100 have not owned a automobile since 2020
@@scruf153 both useless LMAOO sick investment
Wow, buying a truck is like paying for a luxury car. Insane!!
nice thing about luxury cars, they depriciate fast and you can find 4 year old models with low miles 50% off of the original price
I rebuilt the engine in my 89 f150 and it is I better shape than a lot of new trucks
I've been in the truck market now for over 6 months and the prices are simply too steep and you would have to be insane to want to take on that car payment rather buying or leasing.
