I keep saying the same thing on pricing everywhere I can. People think that 5k off is a great deal on a truck that was jacked up to a crazy price. Over the last 5 years they went up 35-40%. Normal increases would be 15% over the same time period. So they just gave you 5% discount but stay re still 15-20% overpriced. They want to reprogram people to think this is a great deal when it is not.
@@bradleylawless9595 None of those are compact trucks. What planet do you inhabit? P.S, Genius, the Maverick is a car. AWD. Unibody construction. Go back to school.
The whole financial system is held together by the FED money printer= adding digits to the system = creating money from thin air. As an investor i sense something is about to break just like back in 2000 & 2008.
No way should a truck be 70K, 80K or more in cost. Ford, GM and Ram have gotten greedy and are now in panic mode because buyers are not paying these prices.
Still waiting for the prices to fall in Canada they ain't budging a penny 10k for a used civic with 398k on it. But they wanna buy mine with 130k for 13?
I don't know how sales can be up when at the same time they are shutting assy lines. Somewhere in all the numbers and reporting there is a lie. The question is where.
As far as the electric vehicles sales by Ford, yes they did increase in 2024 over 2023, BUT......this is partly because they were highly incentivized to move inventory. And in the last 2 months of the year a lot of people, who may have been considering an EV in the USA, would have been pushed to buy now before the new administration eliminates tax credits. Furthermore, I would like to see what the original sales predictions were for the Mach E and Lightning for the 2024 calendar year when these models were first introduced. I bet the actual sales are well less than half of original expectations. The sooner they and all the manufacturers cut bait on these money pits, the sooner they can get back to focussing on producing reliable and affordable ICE powered vehicles.
Ford Sales Up Compared to What ? The Previous few years when there were shotages . Dealers are Struggling from Overpriced Vehicles & High Interest Rates . They'll have No Choice , Either Drop Prices or Close the Doors .
They replaced it with the 5.0 L V8, which is an equally great engine and is still available in the F150s and Mustangs. Unfortunately it is not available in other models like the Expedition, which only is available with V6 turbo (a travesty if ever there was one!!).
Nah the coyote is better in every way. Even handling aftermarket mods and heavy boost on stock internals. The coyote is the modern day bulletproof chevy 350.
BYD has a full line of cars and price ranges. The UAW is very lucky the $14,000 dollar BYD SEAGULL is not available here. China is now the largest manufacturer and exporter of autos in the world. What's amazing is China allows our Big 3 to sell our stuff in China as we hide behind tariff walls.
Vehicle buyers will struggle when manufacturers lower prices. Now your insurance pays even less if totalled. Your still responsible for the balance of the loan. Hope you have GAP INSURANCE TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE.
I thought they lost their minds with 6 foot beds and now most of them are 5.5 and getting smaller.I walked into a gmc dealer asking what they had in stock with an extended cab 8 foot bed to replace my ford. The salesman looked at me like I was crazy and told me there is no such thing as an 8 foot bed unless, I custom order it. Same response at ford. After 35 years of working out of an 8 foot bed I refuse to buy anything without it. And I won’t until they are 70% off sticker which seems will happen sooner than later
I asked for a car loan at my credit union. I later decided not to buy . I told my losn lady I thought the next bank crisis was going to be because of car loans. I told her this about 5 plus years ago. Looks like Im right..
I understand what everyone is saying but most transactions are leases not purchases as no one can afford or would want to own with reliability issues. You would be insane to own an ev as they deprecated 50% driving off the lot. Leases are like 500 to 600 and people can handle that. All these fear mongering post are just click bait at it's best!!
You expressed the view that Chinese EVs are safe. They aren't. There are numerous examples on YT showing how poorly built these vehicles are, the numerous accidents and fires they cause. So no, the future is not making cheap EVs like the Chinese unless you are eager to die in one.
With tariffs, trudeau not needing the auto vote b/c trumpf will threaren Ford, GM to move that Canada plants south. This might open up the Chinese ev world to Canada, we can hope. Well priced, good quality, high tech cars & trucks.
This video overlooks the fact that EV'S are a FLOP. Furthermore, FORD trucks are NOT SELLING WELL as 2024 models sit on dealer lots UNSOLD while 2025's are showing up. Insanely High Prices for a full-sized pickup truck equipped with a TINY TWIN-TURBO ENGINE are making consumers pass by. I cannot help thinking this video is just a sales-pitch.
Trucks are not only unreliable and incredibly expensive to fix and maintain because of the government regulations, their upfront prices are insane because consumers don't want real trucks anymore, they want luxury vehicles that look like trucks.
I realize bad economies and inflation etc etc.. but. Automakers should have been smart enough to downgrade vehicles .. smaller vehicles…. That we can afford. And for Pete’s sake stop making four door trucks.

I wish people would stay away from electric vehicles. They are not better for the environment and they are just not as good as gas or diesel vehicles. The battery comes from Chinese mines. The battery takes a long time to charge. If you drive any long distances you spend more time charging then driving. The battery doesn’t last the life of the vehicle they can’t be recycled. And these batteries are very expensive to replace. The electric vehicles perform very poorly in cold weather. If it’s ’minus 28 or colder they won’t work at all. Plus any hacker can take control of the vehicle easily. None of this is at all appetizing to me. No thanks. And a tyrannical government could also shut your vehicle off. So yea use your brain before buying a electric vehicle

Yeah, they are calling it a discount, but it's not.
its because the dollar is devalued, remember the massive money printing to give to big pharma and co so everyone is safe
It ' s a R A M
up 50% on 25% inflation on average
I don’t feel sorry for those people who indebted themselves just to show off with big trucks just to drive to work 🙄
They are now tied to debt for the next decade over a behicle
Yeah but there are no compact trucks....
@@Support_Ad_Blockeryou’ve never heard of the Chevy Colorado, ford ranger, ford maverick, Toyota Tacoma

Heres a news flash...we've been in a financial crisis for some time now. This only gets worse from here.
Since 2000.
I'm looking at rebuilding something it's cheaper and I'll end up with a nice simple unit

I don't like the water pump behind the timing cover on newer fords.
Yes and the wet timing belts or belt driven oil pumps on some engines
Big trucks with overflowed prices people is realizing the truth about this tremendous unneficient industry
No way should a truck be 70K, 80K or more in cost. Ford, GM and Ram have gotten greedy and are now in panic mode because buyers are not paying these prices.
Exactly

The Ford F150 is the most recalled vehicle since 2018. Desperately trying to avoid Found On Road Dead.

Yes that’s true there was a hard push to sell those vehicles. Oddly I have seen prices up on some Ford EVs lately
The car market bubble is bursting.
Its an everything bubble, stock markets, Housing market, car loans, buy now "pay never", Government defaults...

I haven’t bought a ford in 13 years , No way I’m buying an overpriced ford now … let them All Rot is what I say
The same goes for every new car made these days!
Amen
My last new Ford was 2011. It’s been paid off for ten years but I’m not about to go get $1,200 a month payments.

@ What about it? Overpriced with questionable quality just like the Fords!
Before, lots of people did not need pick-ups, but they could afford it. Today they have no more money for it.
They are failing because they have taken advantage of the consumer for years. The prices of pickups are ridiculous.
I would rather have your truck than a new one, because I'm sure that you take care of it and it will be reliable
FLEET sales.......COVID years means businesses were not replacing their fleet vehicles....this is a TEMPORARY profit period for them
Bring back the focus ST. Reliable. Manual tranny. Good mpg. Fun and affordable. Win win win win so why.not?
My but looks like the thumbnail picture after i put the medicine on .
Very creative thumbnail LOL.
Haha thanks
Ford messed up by dropping the 4.6 V8, an awesome engine, more reliable than the ecoboost engines
They replaced it with the 5.0 L V8, which is an equally great engine and is still available in the F150s and Mustangs. Unfortunately it is not available in other models like the Expedition, which only is available with V6 turbo (a travesty if ever there was one!!).

Truck market is not broken banks aren't giving out loans.
Which broke the truck market

Just make trucks we need. 8 ft box, real engine, 4x4, no frills for 40-50k. This 70k for a 5ft box and extra cupholder bullshit is ridiculous.
