Solar energy works great in certain climates. Hawaii, Southern California, Arizona, etc. I paid off my solar install in just 3 years. Without solar my electric bill out be $500 /mo. Now I pay $20 a month. The $480 I save every month is basically free money. The math probably doesn't work out in a place where it rains all the time and there is snow in the winter but in Hawaii solar is amazing.
@@TomMcDonaldatYahooDotCom No I don't sell them and I don't even remember the company that set it up for me. You will have to do your own research.
No one wants Hybrids or EVs so stop promoting vehicles no one wants. Bring back the S10 & Ranger & people will buy them . This Political anti- Combustion Engine movement isn't working & people are just buying older vehicles.

15k? I'll believe it when I see it.
From Toyota 15 grand, but from your local dealer 35 grand! 🫣
Yup stealership up charge!!!!
Probably $15,999 base. Then you start adding all the fees. But I think it still doesnt start at $16K base.
@@TRONABORON Exactly.
He never mentions that, Toyota dealers never negotiate and there are always markups
15k?....Yeah, that's before 80% dealer markup.
Most likely it would be 100% dealer markup 🤣
If it’s 30 or less ill still consider it a win lol. They should really not say 15k though, thats a joke
Miata what?
Saw a 10k mark up on Toyota new land cruiser
*That's a feature!!!*
I will guarantee you, you will never see any new pickup truck for sale in the USA for $15,000 or anywhere close to that.
Exact same thing happened with the c8 corvette when it was released.
@@rickybobby7276what happened???
True, Ford said the Maverick was going for $20k and good luck finding one under $30k. Plus it's going to be an undersized engine with a turbo or a hybrid. NO thanks
With all the money the federal reserve has printed, a pepperoni pizza is around 15 grand now.
Jaws of life cut the roof off a sedan.
15k... with a 40k markup at the dealership.
LOL! 40K "market adjustment."
@@gallopingalumphus5390😂😂 yup dealerships are nothing but scam centers
$22k
If you’re local to Northeast Ohio, we don’t do over sticker at Toyota of North Canton. Sold a few incoming Land Cruisers at MSRP so far. I imagine other dealers would hopefully do the same
@@JordanSmith-jq5yi next to impossible, you guys are a one of a kind
Hey Scotty, I've been watching you for a long time. I used everything I learned from you and I happened across a 2003 Toyota Tundra 4.7 liter, TRD with only 90k miles on it. I had my mechanic go through it with a fine tooth comb and he told me this truck is like brand new. The engine is just barely broken in. $8000 is what I paid. It is a 4 door crew cab with a custom topper. Mechanic confirmed it was an excellent deal. Thanks for all the great knowledge you have shared over the years. God bless. ~ Pastor Nick, Blessed Road Ministry
You sir truly have a time capsule perfectly preserved
The 2005 or 2006 had a ton more power, better mpg, and better transmission (extra gear). After owning a 2004 and selling it and getting a 2005, no way I could ever go back. The whole setup difference is night and day. Also I have 276k on my 2005 and never had a single problem with it. If you ever need a new engine, swap to the 2005 or 2006 engine/trans and get the computer with it.
That's a score! It's just broken in.
Don't forget to replace the timing belt
Great deal, but 12 mpgs around town is a deal breaker for me.
$15k Toyota Truck. I'll buy one.
I’ll just keep my ‘84 Hillux until this never happens !
Me too
Especially if they offer a 4wd or even Awd model!!
1985 Toyota Xtra cab trucks were $15,000 OTD for a top of the line loaded model.
Which is equivalent to $43k in today's money @@jas340
People want affordable small truck for daily use than bigger trucks that are use for construction.
I'm working security right now in a very rich area. HUGE TRUCKS EVERYWHERE 99% are the cleanest ever. And this area is RICH
Now don't get me wrong we all love the big trucks we just don't like the price tags that come out as much as a house all because of all the fancy touch screens tvs in th and heated seats and all that crap. Looking forward to seeing this new Toyota
The smaller trucks will work for nearly anything you wanna do as long as it's awd.
People do not want little Toyota trucks.
They want huge 4WD trucks so they can feel all powerful.
And the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is happy!
@@jstravelers4094 Not THIS people.
MSRP 14,995 + warranty 2,500 , plus clear coat paint 1,500, door protection 1,750 , + dealership mark up 37,550 , starting at 97.6% interest rates for 72 months. Get it while the deals last until November 13th 🙄
Appreciate the likes everyone, have a blessed day 🫡
don't forget Nitrogen in tires=$600 ( lifetime refills) Scotchguard seats=$500
Let me go talk to my manager and see if we can lower something ........
its easy. tell them msrp or walk
No joke here, I recently saw a new Nissan SUV - sticker says $499.00 for premium floor mats. WTF.!!!
And the "get fucked" fee for $999.99
I bought a bare bones 2018 Taco in 2019 for under $22k, well below MSRP. People say they just want a basic truck but then no one buys them. My truck sat on the lot for a year because when people actually get to the dealership they want the bigger engine, leather seats, 4x4, nice wheels, crew cab, etc. No one wanted the white,four banger, extended cab, with no rear seat or key fob.
I'd love me a little gas saving Toyota truck. I don't need all the fancy widgets and gadgets.
Even if it plays mariachi music when you start it?
Nobody does
Gas saving and truck dont go together.
The $10k Hilux Toyota makes for Thailand and other parts of Asia is a neat little bare bones truck but it would never pass EPA emissions or N.American safety standards.
@@bghoody5665 so its an unsafe smog dumper.
We need more small trucks again
Totally agree
Agreed, but regrettably, ain't gonna happen.
its NOT ALLOWED.
You can thank the epa for them not existing. Watch some videos on the subject. The CAFE standards are very convoluted
For not a fortune again
He keeps posting this $15,000 Toyota truck. It's not going to happen.
Bingo!
Agree,
Not in the US.
It will be too junk. They will do unibody shitbox clunker
They are working on the chicken tax issue. If that gets cleared the truck will be here and it sounds like maybe they got it done.
The best part is we all find out soon enough.
Many Here Remember The Good Old Days Of Reasonably Priced Small Trucks
In Many Variations: Standard Or Extra Cab, Regular And Long Bed, 4 OR V6, 5 Speed Or Auto Trans, Locking 4WD Hubs, Plain Roll-Up Windows With Quarter Wind Vents.
The best auto I ever had was a 93 Nissan Hardbody that I kept for 13 years. Never stranded me or was in the shop for anything. Just get in and go. Wasn't super fast, but the 5 spd manual made it fun to drive . I all but abused it hauling everything you could imagine, got it stuck tons of time, never cost me but for gas/oil changes, tires/batteries. Too much driving along the beach ate up the subframe, my bad.
Supposed to be $10k, but it's not sold in the USA, only Mexico. So don't get too excited. It's on the Hilux chassis.
Watch the video on "Why we can't have small trucks anymore, blame the EPA"
I've seen it and it's complicated how our own government chased away a large market (small pick ups) from consumers. Emissions and EPA based on wheel base size--only our government could screw up like that. I'd love to have a new version of my old 93 Nissan Hardbody= 4 cylinder, 5 speed on the floor, best vehicle I ever owned.
Just travel to Mexico and get a 1999 Nissan D21 crewcab.
I blame cowardly Americans for allowing the EPA to set these expensive regulations!
LOL 15,000. That's not the one you get that one is never in stock. You get the 36000 dollar one.
My 1998 base 2.4L Tacoma 143k miles keeps me smiling.
I have a 04’ Tacoma with over 200k. 4 x 4 extra cab, 2.7L. 3rd one I’ve owned and love it. Keep up with maintenance is the most important thing to do !
More like 25k for a base model. 35k for something people will want.
Probably about right !!
Even that would be awesome in this car market
When Ford announced the Maverick they said 20k I've seen one at the dealership for over 40k today...(The Lariat) I'll believe 15k WHEN I SEE IT.
The 1st hybrids sold went for that then oversold, got marked up, now base I think isn't hybrid, went from 2.5 to 2, msrp 25g then markup.
If it is like the small ones back in the 80s it would be nice. Just make a truck with no frills just hand crank windows etc.
Up here in Canada, the Maverick is the same price as the Ford Ranger! Ridiculous!!
Leave Canada now!!!!!! Before it's too late.
Most people want/need just a simple little truck to run around town and haul stuff. If this truck comes out, yes it would sell like hot cakes and I may buy one myself!
Yeah I want a truck as a second vehicle because they’re handy as heck I usually rent one when I need one
Haul what a pack of gum?? Lol
If it comes out. I’m not holding my breath though, I’ll turn blue. I’ve been holding onto my 2005 Tacoma, because all the trucks now are pretending to be passenger cars. I’d want a living room on wheels for a truck. Give me something basic. Ditch the screen. A radio and a couple of knobs for the HVAC will do just fine.
Australia invented them in the early 20th century by doing exactly that. The are Utes short fir utility car. They are fantastic vehicles. Look up Holden Ute Australia and drool.
@@user-oc8sr3ml9mso little you know. Every tradesperson in Australia has one. Google Australian Ute, look at the beautiful, strong, powerful ones we built.
They could look like the 80s model Toyota pickups, at 15k i would definitely get one.
Since Toyota likes to develop new products on current platforms, the Stout will either be a Corolla Cross/Corolla Hatchback with half the backseat and the trunk turned into a bed or a version of the Hilux they sell around the world. I can't imagine how they'll sell it for $15K if they don't use their cheapest platform and build it south of the border.
They've been talking about this truck for a while now, it started out at $10,000 by the time it get to the US it'll be 20-25,000. Watch and see.
You mean 30k everything is more than double price now lol
26 to 35
thank your politicians for spending 35 trillion they borrowed at interest. The dollar is becoming worthless.
The Ford Maverick is a fine example?
The new Tacoma starts at $43k, if the stout ever happens it’ll be in the $35k neighborhood.
Scotty, they told us the Maverick would be under $20,000. Instead most are selling in the upper $30,xxx to mid $40,xxx
$50,000 to $60,000 with options in Canada 🤯
I believe, that's the basic model, not with options.
and its only an old escape wich is an old ford taurus disguised as a pick up...lame craparino
@@ragimundvonwallat8961
I didn’t realize it was FWD. How disgusting. 🤮
I've read where the Toyota Stout will only be available in the Asian and African markets. They don't want to offer it in the west because it would eat into their sales of the bigger pickups.
Of course. They can always count of Americans overspending on everything. The financing structures available in America allow us to get over our skis on almost all of our major purchases.
hilux champ starts at 13,611.57 usd in thailand right now. hilux revo starts at like 3k higher or so. toyota has had the hilux(revo) starting at like 17k usd all along. champ is the new cheapo model.
no because they are so different in all respects. No canibalizing.
The problem is the chicken tax and CARB. Both of which make it impossible to import affordable small trucks (or for that matter build affordable ones in the US). Again, the problem is the government. Not the dealers and not the manufacturers.
It could also be they don’t want to spend the $$ to certify the emissions and or crash worthiness doesn’t meet us specs.
Thanks Scotty. But the Toyota Stout in N. America is a Myth. Legend. Sasquatches riding skittle-crapping Unicorns. $15,000?? lol
Ikr I was thinking at least double.
😂
it will sell fine at 25k ea.
A ford lightning was supposed to MRSP at $40k😂😂😂😂😂
My uncle just retired from ford last month. They gave him a brand new ford lightning.) truck. One week later he turned it in.. true story !!
70k
Toyota making a small pickup truck for $15K is pure fantasy. The base price of the new, 'made in Mexico' Tacoma is $31.5K. I will be surprised if the base MSRP of the Toyota Stout is less than $25K . . . then there are the requisite dealer markups.
By the time you buy it and pay for insurance and sales tax its a scam robbery where theyre selling you junk for too much
Exactly, more like 25k at best.
toyota already makes one and sells it. they just don't sell it in usa.
hilux champ starts at 13,611.57 usd in thailand right now. hilux revo starts at like 3k higher. this is like cash out the door pricing with the local dealer margin in it.
it's got safety stuff in it.
Well it´s from and for far east markets mainly and doesn´t look so fancy like the blue in Scotties picture. It is even cheaper there. Just see my posting in this regard below
down in mexico they sell hilux's for around $20k
If this actually happens people will be lined up to buy.
Just regular old truck - $15K. Huge market for that.
No profit for Toyota on $15,000 truck in 2025. The US dollar is toilet paper.
And I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. 🤨
I have a bridge for sale in Savanna Illinois if you can’t make it to Brooklyn. Less of a hassle to get in line.
Indeed, seeing is believing. 👍🏻.
I think this is the one sold over seas and will not be in the U.S.
Wrong I have Solar on my roof for four years cost me nothing to put it on. My electric bill was cutting half in the summertime sometimes I get money back.
15k....with a 50k Markup at dealership😅.
Stealerships
US$15,000 equivalent in Thailand and the Philippines, Would be my guess.
Scotty, there is no "G" in "CUMMINS"
The main reason why I drive a pickup is to have a body on frame, my cars are also body on frame but they're getting old! I wish there was something more compact than the Tacoma with a body on frame now.
My son has had great success with a 2002 Ford Ranger 5 speed since 2018 and has 250K miles. The best vehicle I've ever bought from Ford.
The rangers were junk but compared to whats out there today... thats all i gotta say about that
Yes I bought 2002 5 speeds. ranger in 2018 156K miles. And now 171K miles, I love it.
Nope . Won't happen
@@TheAnnoyingBoss
Have you owned a Ranger? What’s your basis for saying they were junk? Back up your spurious claim.
@@AFTER_MIDNITE plastic all over. Its junk but i mean brand new it was better tgan a lot of what we got today. Now you get a ranger its even more junk and costs more as well.
Just hope they don't make the Stout in Mexico. I'll buy one made in Japan 🙂
Don't forget the chicken tax
Doubtful. Toyota makes Tundras in Indiana. Be awesome if they made that here too…but I’d also be content if it came from Japan.
Hey, their cars are more American than American cars.
Scotty Kilmer deserves his success. He's a natural for what he does here.
The early 2000s Rangers was the truck , these new ones are people haulers
Have a 2000 3.0 2wd only 100K gonna last me another 20-30 yrs
If Toyota can make that little pick up truck with the Legendary 1.8 Liter engine and let Scotty test it out
Scotty will take it to his little drag strip!
Would need something like the 2ar-fe at least.
They can't even sell the F150 that they have parked in that field .🤣
Its been called " The Green New Scam " .Great show Scotty , from Vic. BC Canada .
Green Raw Deal. Why? M-O-N-E-Y
Al Gore has made tens of millions of dollars, scaring children. It's SICK!
Totally true about the diesel engines... Straight 6 will always outlast V6 & V8's. Ask any class 8 truck repair shop.
Don't even consider anything like a 4 cyl to power a full sized truck unless you want it to fail in spectacular fashion.
Have you not done this like 5 times, now? We all know it won’t be 15k or look like your thumbnails, at least in the usa but we can hope.
It's like the "$20,000 Ford Maverick". It's mule muffins.
I’ve been hearing about the Stout since 2021, looks like Toyota Cibetruck. And now it will cost 15k?? What a fairy tale they are trying to push! Omg, this I gotta hear…
Toyota might make it but it will only be available in Antarctica.
3:40 the duramax has so many problems shearing pins instead of using keyways to which im betting was a cost cutting measure! I see them all the time being repaired in youtube shop channels.
Too bad. Diesel is great.
@@TeddyRumble ya but if the engine can’t harness power diesel without falling apart then what good is the fuel? Lol
We also want to be able to buy a stick shift! Where have the manual transmissions gone in trucks?
They became less popular because in one hand you're holding scorching hot coffee and in the other a cellphone
Just a few hours ago, a kid working at a fast food drive-thru spotted my manual gear shifter and literally exclaimed “Wow!” 😂
I've got an '02 Tundra with a 5 speed that I bought in 2014. Took me a year to find it.
Best truck ever made.
I've been watching the small truck development and just waiting for the Stout. Hope it comes out the end of this yr.
I love your view on the electric car and the green energy. That is exactly what I've been thinking. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Never be sold here for less than 28k ever.
Scotty's common sense is timeless.
I' m a retired roofing and siding guy. Those solar panels are mounted a couple of inches above the roof deck. If you get a leak in the roof you're screwed. Hundreds of fasteners to secure them. What could possibly go wrong. Love your channel Scotty!
I love this channel!!!! My new fave!!!
2024 tundra's with 7,000 miles spun bearings. Wow, 30,000 to repair.
$15,000 plus $10,000 markups will see!!
Great video sir, thank you.
Outstanding! Thank you ...
That is a common problem with Jeep Patriots. You need a new throttle body..... the throttle body position sensor goes out and you have to replace the whole thing. Go aftermarket.
When does that happen? I’ve had my Patriot for 15 years and everything’s fine.
If the stout is body on frame under 15 to 20k I'll buy it
It’s going to be unibody, it shares a platform with rav4. Body on frame are expensive to make, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for Toyota to make it body on frame.
Body on frames is by far the best. Repairable for-ever...
*Thanks scotty for enlightening us with facts.* 👏😀
I worked in the power industry for 40 years - natural gas production, transmission, storage, and distribution, electric generation, transmission, and distribution.
Scotty is absolutely right about so called green energy. It’s very expensive if you could all of the true costs and I say so called green energy because it has a greater environmental impact than natural gas or clean coal.
Blows my mind they ever moved away from small trucks completely.
Solar panels in California and other renewable have cause an electric glut. They have more power generation than they can use. Why not generate your own of you can? You can power a whole house with 10 panels and sell the excess to the grid.
A “glut” is another word for inefficient.
$60k
@@TeddyRumble $60k for what?
As of May 2024, the average cost to install an 8-kilowatt (kW) solar panel system for a home in the U.S. is between $15,000 and $22,500 before incentives. After applying the 30% federal solar tax credit, the cost is between $10,500 and $15,750, but this doesn't include state rebates or incentives. The exact cost depends on the state, with price ranges in Florida from $17,120-$21,920.
8 Kwh is about 20 panels. So, if you mean $60,000 for it, you're way off.
Exactly I usually agree with him on somethings but he is off on this one! I have not had a electric bill since 2020! My panels cover my electric needs for my whole home and some! I sell the non used electric back to the electric company. My friends electric bills without Solar Panels are about $200 - $500. I pay $107 on a 28K solar Panel loan! Not 100K like he states.
Gotta like the raspberry sound effect on the Ranger sales chart graph! 🤣
Great video
Hello Scotty love your program and your info is mind blowing and informative 👍
WHY CAN'T ANYBODY MAKE A TWO DOOR "PICKUP"? I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING ANTHING ELSE.
Ford and GM still do
Yep, and with a long bed. So many people driving 4 door pickups with short beds. Might as well just buy a Suburban or Expedition, but, they want to own a pickup, Yahoo, I'm a cowboy!
Scotty is the best man! I love this guy🫡
Nice! That would be great!
Scotty, you might want to check again on the Tacoma sales. They're not selling well at all and lots are full all over the place.
Not here in Canada. Can hardly see one at most dealerships. All hogged by the US market.
@@marcpikas2859 Well if it was up to me my northern bro, I'd say come and get em!
If these manufacturers continue to jack with the designs, 4-6 cyl in a full size? Turbo? Get the hell outta here! They can eat em before Id buy one.
Scotty where in RI? I’m from RI
I love your videos!!!!
If somebody would make a plain 2 dr cab, with at least a 6 ft bed....
About time there are some alternatives to those stupid huge $70k trucks.
100%... I just want an F250 equiv with basic everything plus simple AC and strong towing capacity... That's IT... don't care about any other gimmick.
15k in Thailand with no safety stuff. They're talking 23k but I'm doubtful. I spoke to a Toyota salesman and they have no information?
Of course, my local dealer will only have the highest trim level for $49k
I just picked up a little 2004 Toyota Tacoma with only 68,000 miles on it. I’m lovin’ it. No king cab so it makes it easier to drive.
Ain't happening. Can't believe scotty is still talking about vaporware
Scotty has so many auto manufacturers crapping their pants. Is this his way of telling us to buy TP stock . . . instead of EV stock, of course?
Scotty, I wish you were one of my shop teachers while I was in high school. I would've learned more.
Scotty, I’m thinking about putting solar panel on my car. Is that a good idea?
Toyota has stated many times they will not sell a vehicle that cheap in the USA. They see our average income as too high. They will be targeted toward the Philippines, Thailand, etc.
Toyota is stupid then and theyre not targeting half the population
Maybe truck buyers should boycott Toyota.
@@AFTER_MIDNITE I think all of the manufacturers could build a truck that cheap but they don’t for the same reason as Toyota.
@@juleswins3
Agree. They’re in business to make money, they charge what the market will bear. What’s needed is an American version of the concept behind the Volkswagen Beetle… an inexpensive car/truck for the people.
15k in Thailand 🇹🇭
Jeesh, I hope something gets better. I'm beginning to feel like "Eeyore" from Winnie the Pooh.😃
Not to mention a roofing company wont touch those panels...when you need a new roof the solar company (if they are still in business) has to remove them and reinstall them
Coal is king. Cheapest electricity and the fuel can be stored at plant. Emits the most life giving CO2, which is still critically low. Nukes are expensive and were mainly built to get the plutonium but we now have plenty.
Claptrap.
Scotty, I change tires on wheels for summer/winter season. Shall I deflate them a little while in storage to release pressure from the tires or it does not matter?
Scotty the 2006 GM diesel truck is an LBZ it’s an amazing diesel pickup and highly sought after for that reason
Scotty love your videos on RUclips.
Solar is not that expensive if you do the evaluation & install yourself including batteries like I did 11 kW on a two-bedroom house total cost 12k, but those northern prices are outrageous 😂
Do you think the average person is capable of installing and maintaining solar on their roof?
No powerwall
@@gomertubeYes. People fo it on RVs all the time. BUT...if you hook it up to the utility feed, then it's not DIY.
@@TeddyRumble Sure, an RV and the roof of a house are the same thing.
@@gomertube that comment makes no sense. Solar is a niche product. Works on RVs, boats, whatever, but not for large applications. Too expensive.
I can look out my front door and see Three Mile Island. The worst nuclear reactor accident in the USA . They just shut it down last year. The problem was caused by operator errors. It ran for 45 years after the accident without any major problems.
Thanks scotty
Wonder if the $15k truck is automatic. Would be great if it has AC and good seats and cup holders without all the fancy electronics.
I dunno.. was surprised to see all four in my wife's Subaru (with only 78k on the clock) worn down to nubs at 72k. Car runs great, gets 29mpg, but those Iridium plugs didn't last to their recommended change.
I can't tell if you're saying Subaru is bad or good
@@thatsoundsaboutright7483 Subaru's are fine.. the cabin's have more of a European flavor than Toyota or Nissan, they run forever if you take care of them, and they have the most simple bulletproof all wheel drive system of anyone. Cheap to buy, cheap for parts to fix. It's never broke in 14 years since we bought it new,. Yet, it doesn't do much for me. Wife likes it though and that makes it a great car.. :)
@@bkksw4731 that's valuable info. I have a budget of 40k and am looking for another vehicle that will put out. Wanted a new Tacoma but I'm not a fan of 4 cylinder engine pickups. Considered the Ridgeline but it's unibody build isn't very truck like. I want to buy American but none of them seem to be as reliable as the others.
@@bkksw4731 what did you mean about the worn down nubs and iridium? I'm ignorant of these things 😔...I don't have a mechanic background and it all sounds like another language.
@@thatsoundsaboutright7483 Iridium is the type of plug. They have copper, platinum, Iridium and others.. the electrodes are made of this material. By "nubs" I meant the electrodes.
I know it's called dumpling to crash the market.
Stout. I’ll try to preorder
Easy for solar photovoltaic panels to increase when building codes keep changing every day, with some states requiring new construction homes to be EV ready.
Calif, it HAS to be on the new house. By law. $50ķ
