  • The truck market is off to a rough start in 2024. Ford dealers are still overflowing with 2023 f150 trucks. Ram trucks are up to 20% off. Toyota prices are going up and Chevy & GM dealers have huge discounts.
    Truck prices are out of control and this year the CEOs of Ford & GM are raising prices even higher.
    And despite steep discounts in December and a boost in sales, many dealers are still flooded with expensicve 2023 year model trucks.

      At least Toyota and Honda. They build reliability in.
      I used to take my 1997 SVT Cobra to have a master mechanic do work at the Ford dealership. They kept all their good mechanics by letting them use their bay to do side work. This kept the regular mechanics to do book jobs, to spread the money around. One day I pulled up and Roy was putting a part in a box, to ship it off. Pulling a part right out of an engine. I thought that was strange so I asked him, why are you boxing it? He said, " this part never used to fail. Now Ford want me to ship parts to them so THEY CAN ENGINEER IT TO FAIL AT 120K miles."
      He said "think about it. Ford could make the most reliable engine on the planet, but they want failure for 2 reasons. 1) resale on parts and service. 2) buy another vehicle.
      After that, I noticed that when I went to the parts department thay were crazy busy! I asked the parts manager, " man, you guys are crazy busy, what's the deal?" He actually said, " We make more in parts and service than new and used car sales."
      Think about this for a minute...!

Prices will come down to “normal” again when suit and tie lifetime city dwellers stop thinking they need a Raptor to get laid in Chicago and LA and are willing to pay $110k to do so. Back in the 90s “when trucks were affordable and reliable” SUVs were all the rage and had all the markup while bedded trucks were still reasonable. Then we started a 20+ year war and suddenly all these non-serving soy boys decided they needed to do something to “look like a man” so they started running out and buying brand new pickup trucks that don’t have a scratch in the bed and growing out operator beards and 20 years later here we are - a new fairly base model F-150 will run you $65k and instead of auto manufacturers focusing on reducing prices for traditional trucks they’re all focused on developing more expensive and less reliable battery-powered toy trucks that nobody wants but the government says we have to have.

      Those interest rates are there to try to bring down prices. The idea is, if people find it hard to pay for these expensive things, then supposedly prices will come down to meet where the customer can afford. But companies have been holding out just hoping for some sucker to pay full price.

    If you could state the differences or trends or something that gets updated every time so we can see what’s changing from week to week that would be great.
    I tune in and it’s like, “look at all these trucks, I’m shocked. This one is $100k, this one is the only one at $40k” and that’s kinda the whole thing. Some 3rd party group trend data, avg days on hand, stuff like that would be a huge help so we understand where it’s going instead of every title card saying everything is falling apart and then it’s so similar to the last video.

    When I was young trucks were used for working. But in the last few decades it became popular to have four doors, backseats, and a small bed so pickups could be used as sedans. Gas prices have receded for now but people have learned that using pickups as sedans is a huge waste of their money. They are moving away from owning pickups, especially if they never need one. The carmakers are adjusting to that by making small pickups. Forget the vehicle prices, the days of using large pickups as sedans is over because of gas prices.

    Trucks are basically made for working people. People who need to carry material to and from work sites. Working people, for the most part, have been priced out of buying a brand new truck. They're pricing trucks for rich people, when it's working people who actually need them. It's no wonder that they can't sell them. Anyone who actually needs one can't afford it.

      My 1999 dodge 1500 4x4 needs a 5k wire harness and another 7k in labor. My 2007 scion tc was just in an accident with a uninsured driver. My insurance won't cover wither repair.
      You can't win with cars unless you can get an older vehicle that has been taken care of. But those prices are staring to go back up. Expect 15k for a 30 year old truck

    This new generation of truck buyers will never retire! 1300 month vehicle payment's or invest in a 401K. In 20 years which will be more?

    Dealers also have a lot of brand new 2022's on their lots as well. I suggest people try to get a deal on those trucks.
