The Maverick started out as a $19,000 truck and now with inflation, dealer premiums, manufacturer added accessories, and dealer added accessories, it's running about $35,000 well-equipped. Toyota maybe introducing the "Stout", a similar small truck for the 2025 model year, which may help reduce demand for this market segment and limit price increases. I just noticed that there a lot of used Tacoma's in the used market and they are mostly over $30,000.
I bet that in the end this $ 15000 will end up being $ 38000 or more. We already know that everything is a lie for the people but there is going to be a lot of money for the dealers.
Trucks should be simple . engine, Trans rear end body..Simple. Dont need a F15 computer system. Miss the simple Sonoma with a rubber floor matting.Lets have a Modle T for the 20s
They need to make a std cab / 8' bed work truck in 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton truck that has thick vinyl seat, rubber floor, auto or stick, heavy duty bed able to have a rack on it and not fall apart in a yr .. creature comfort is 2nd behind durability. Price should be under 20k for a 1/2 and 22k for a 3/4 ton . And no the W/T isn't a true work truck.. make a old school custom deluxe that can take a beating and get you home and if course a V8 .. 3/4 get the larger engine of 6.0
Doesnt GM have enough problems trying to figure out how to build a gas engine that can go 100,000 miles without the cam and lifters eating themselves...??? Now if GM can build a truck that doesnt need to be towed back to the dealership every 10k or 20k miles, i might be interested...
Only the 5.3 has problems that i know of. I have a 2015 that had the problem. That being said been driving chevys since i was 16 have had many. My 15 is the only truck iv ever had trouble with. My 2011 Silverado 2500 hd 6.0 was amazing truck. Worked the piss out of it hauling trailer with 120,000 miles before i sold it. Had modified engine with cam ported heads long tube headers and more. Use to pull 25,000 pounds of scrap metal in with that truck just a great truck along with all the others iv owned. Got over 100,000 miles on the original breaks unheard of right. Iv had a gen 5 camaro no problem with 90,000 on it traded in for my Gen 6 great car. Had a 2006 monte carlo SS with 5.3 had transmission troubles with that around 3,000 miles kinda sucked. After that it was a great car though. But my 2015 i bought used I always buy new so idk maybe previous owner didn’t charge oil enough idk. But its a lemon not really happy with it touch screen is going out on it now. But i did nearly total it out thats when troubles began after i got it back so can’t really say if its GM at fault or just from the collision stuff idk.
Would I buy it? I think yes, but would depend on the after-sale options. Service and Warranty would be one of the final things to consider. GMC has just been out of reach of making an impact on the Trucks sold in the US and it might be their time, with new leadership comes new results. Other vehicle manufacturers are offering better and better after-the-sale warranties, so it will be something to see. Demand will be high and MSRP of $15,000 what will be the dealer markup? Perhaps putting it back out of reach of those it was intended for in the first place.
If GM could actually swing this they wouldn't be able to build these trucks fast enough. Hey, GM...build me a standard cab, long box, 4wd, manual transmission version of this truck for $23k and tell me where to send my check! Oh, and it better be called the 'S-10'. 😂😂
I doubt it'll ever happen. But it would be great. At 15000 dollars, they couldn't put all that garbage on there. That breaks down constantly, less electronics.
Fieros cost ~$13,000 when they came out in the fall of 1983-- the 1984 model. I bought one for $11, 990.05 with my GM employee discount. I sold it 13 mos later and bought a better, 1985 Fiero for $14,850 full loaded with my employee discount. Probably $18,000 without the discount. BUT, the dealers were adding a $3,000 markup right on the window sticker. That is what will happen to the $15,000 GMC truck. Figure at least a $5.000 dealer mark up. Perfectly legal.
I'll just stick to my F-150's. I may pay more but they work and can haul trailers and stuff. They tried to sell me an Ecoboost F-150 last time that has a 6cyl. I said NO... want a V8 with real power.
The market here is for gardeners and third vehicles. It uses their off the shelf parts from other trucks. Picking up lumber at a hardware store or carrying tools to a job site. It leaves you wanting for more. You can potentially pay it off in 2 or 3 years and then be looking to trade it in for a better model before it falls apart. As a third vehicle it works because it wouldn't be driven that much. A couple would both have their regular cars and use the truck for both weekend utility and a backup car to get to work. Maybe give a man that usually office chic reason to put on a pair of jeans. Overall wouldn't likely put on a ton of miles really quickly.
First of all, $15,000.00 is to good to be true. When I see it I'll believe it. The dealers are going to add all kinds of crap to the list and bam. Right back where we started. How do we buy straight from the factory ? Dealer s will tear the consumer a new one. Help us out?
I won't believe it till I see it. First, will it be dependable and reliable. Will it break down all the time? Will the engine and transmission be any good? Will it run for 100,000 miles or will it be a piece of junk like the Vega, etc. take your pick?
Want to cut cost then sell directly to people cut the dealers out cause this mark up battle is ridiculous! I need 4wd, cruise control, towing of my motorcycle, atv or snowmobile. Remote start would be nice for winter time but not a necessary
I'll wait for the $100k trucks that aren't reliable that they can't sell to come down to $15K because no one can afford a new vehicle now. Or get an auto loan now. Or buy food now.. Can't wait to see how the General "fixes" the mess they got themselves into cutting corners with established tech like the 5.3L. Here's a sewing machine with a turbo. And plastic driveshaft. And a re-cycled cardboard exhaust. Made in Tijuanna. We're calling it the Taco. Or Burrito? Should last about as long as one in your GI tract and look about the same before you flush it. Bail out and huge bonuses for the people who screwed up. Just a hunch...
That would be wonderful although how is that going to be possible without crashing the vehicle market?!?! Now days these trucks are $80k to $100k which is crazy, most people can't afford 2 house payments! Let's see what happens.... 🎉😊🎉
About time someone is making a vehicle that’s not around 80k! I just hope this isn’t a joke if it’s only 15k thay will sale thousands and open the door for people that can’t afford to sale there kidney just to have a vehicle I hope this is true!
All the auto ;makers need a reasonably priced truck for the youth who can't afford a 40-80k truck. One that has a bed big enough, six foot, to put lumber, plywood, a longboard surfboard or yard waste. How about one with a bench seat so three can fit if needed. Something like the El Camino or Ranchero of the sixties and seventies.
We’re waiting for the new Toyota AWD Hybrid Stout, unless it doesn’t have a 6’ bed. If it doesn’t have a 6’ bed, then we’ll keep driving our 11 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD super cab with currently only 36K miles.
Just one of many that claim they will be better than the Maveric. I guess the best truck will win. I have only seen the Maveric so far the others are on the drawing boards I believe.
Why don’t they let people order on line and have them bring it to your home. Cut out the middle man. ???? Dealership killed the Maverick. They would’ve been 4 -5 times as many sold if it wasn’t for the dealership. 😊
It would be AWESOME if Toyota would bring back the Hilux 4WD pickup for $20K-&25K to America. We’d gobble those Hilux faster than Toyota could produce them
Bet $100 that no one can buy the one pictured for $15,000 or even $20,000. If GMC really has a $15,000 they will dominate the truck market and I'll take two.
GM can’t build a reliable full sized pickup, so we all know that it’s impossible to build a $15K pickup. Only 5% of the population want an EV, so like Bud Lite, they’ll short themselves in the foot.
Drive a. 80 thousand doller. Truck off the dealership lot. Wondering it will Make it home or not. Couldn’t imagine a 15 thousand doller truck. Might want you buddy meat their to pick it up with a low boy Make sure. You get home with out breaking down
Is this truck worth the $15K Or is it to good to be true?
Let us know in the comments below!👇
They can't keep a 100 thousand dollar one running bet this is just wonderful
The last time either of the “big 3” US truck manufacturers sold a pickup for $15k was the last time ANY of their trucks were worth their price…
$15,000 on the window sticker? Good luck with that.

You can say that again ) the truth will set you free
Bs
Trucks should be simple . engine, Trans rear end body..Simple. Dont need a F15 computer system. Miss the simple Sonoma with a rubber floor matting.Lets have a Modle T for the 20s
There will never be a $15,000 truck or a $20,000 check in the future. When trucks are selling for $100,000 today this is just stupid.
$15K Starting price!
The Ford Maverick stated out as $19,000 less than 2 years ago.
They need to make a std cab / 8' bed work truck in 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton truck that has thick vinyl seat, rubber floor, auto or stick, heavy duty bed able to have a rack on it and not fall apart in a yr .. creature comfort is 2nd behind durability.

They do have those. They keep them out back of the dealership. Just ask.
Exactly they think every truck has to have 4 doors ,they forget who uses trucks
Miss the bench seat. My wife can sit with me.
Good luck...Include a 5 year 100,000 mile tow coverage.
I will believe it when I see it.😅
I bought a new 79 Chevy truck for 5500.00😂
Like the Toyota Stout, I fully expect a $15k "market adjustment"😉
Make a truck like the S10 and I would be interested. Best truck I ever owned. It did what I needed it for.
if it cant go four wheeling its not worth buying especially in areas that have heavy snowfall every year...
Does this come with the 20k mile Trans or the standard 50k mile trans?
Doesnt GM have enough problems trying to figure out how to build a gas engine that can go 100,000 miles without the cam and lifters eating themselves...??? Now if GM can build a truck that doesnt need to be towed back to the dealership every 10k or 20k miles, i might be interested...

LS is one of the greatest engines ever built why its swapped into just about everything.
I have a 2001 GMC Sierra 6.0 2500 HD bought second hand it has over 320,000 miles on the motor and runs great.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Would I buy it? I think yes, but would depend on the after-sale options. Service and Warranty would be one of the final things to consider.

What a fairy tale. It will never be that price.
If GM could actually swing this they wouldn't be able to build these trucks fast enough.
Hey, GM...build me a standard cab, long box, 4wd, manual transmission version of this truck for $23k and tell me where to send my check!
Oh, and it better be called the 'S-10'. 😂😂
Never happen. But we can dream. I'll be giving my grandson my Tundra in 10 years!
😂😂😂😂must missing a “0” on the $15000 trucks ! 😂 😂 or the dealer is going to add the “0” !
With GM known for building quality vehicles, what could go wrong?
I doubt it'll ever happen.
But it would be great. At 15000 dollars, they couldn't put all that garbage on there. That breaks down constantly, less electronics.
If this is true, are they to be built in Korea like the new Trax and Trail Blazer?
Sure like the 59k c8 that never happened
Fieros cost ~$13,000 when they came out in the fall of 1983-- the 1984 model. I bought one for $11, 990.05 with my GM employee discount.

Loran Harding again- There was no dealer markup of course on the new Fieros I bought, which made the deals even sweeter!!
I have been driving a 1996 S-10 for years. V-6, 20-22 mpg in town, no rusted out frame like the Colorados. Give me a new one like that!
I'll just stick to my F-150's. I may pay more but they work and can haul trailers and stuff. They tried to sell me an Ecoboost F-150 last time that has a 6cyl. I said NO... want a V8 with real power.

I don't see how people afford a basic truck at $30,000.00. Not every one makes $100,000 a year.
Love this truck
why is it so hard to make a affordable vehicle ???
Because the people that work on the product line make $150,000+ Crazy
I won't believe it till I see it. First, will it be dependable and reliable. Will it break down all the time? Will the engine and transmission be any good? Will it run for 100,000 miles or will it be a piece of junk like the Vega, etc. take your pick?

Engine sold separately, all plastic body,on a beer can melted frame, electronics sold separately, pedals included.
LOL WHATS THE PRICE AFTER THEY PUT IN THE ENGINE
The dealership will mark it up to $30,000. The dealership, demand availability will ruin it for the people it was attended for.
I'll look at it.
its about time--OVERDUE//
Dream on !
No brainer, the risk is still cheaper than paying 70k for a rust bucket in the first 6 years.
It’ll be fully sustainable: Ethanol Fuel, Glued Corn Cob frame, Corn Husk body panels and they’ll call it the Corny! ……. 15k ain’t gunna happen folks.
I would buy that Cyclone concept model when offered for sale.
I like the price but will we ever see one.
We’re waiting for the new Toyota AWD Hybrid Stout, unless it doesn’t have a 6’ bed.
If it doesn’t have a 6’ bed, then we’ll keep driving our 11 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD super cab with currently only 36K miles.
Yes let’s see it
I wouldn't buy a truck with a 4 cylinder. Add $1,000 to the sticker price and put a 6 cylinder in it and I'll think about it.
Yet Toyota has already UPPED the Game with the $10,000 truck!
Have to see if it happens. Greed always sets in and cheap trucks are a pipe dream. Don't hold your breath you're in America.
I see all these videos of 15 or 20 thousand dollar vehicles coming to market soon. They never really seem to make it to market.
Kindly request GM Truck cost only $20 k so Low Income and Poor Students can afford to buy!
$15K and then the GREEDY dealerships will put a $10K markup.
If that engine is anything like the 2.4 in the equinox it will be junk and consume oil.
Just one of many that claim they will be better than the Maveric.
I guess the best truck will win.
I have only seen the Maveric so far the others are on the drawing boards I believe.
Just decide for yourself if you find the maverick better or not! You think it is?
@@GarageHeads
Actually I am a Toyota guy waiting on the new Stout
@@GarageHeads The Maverick is crap and doesn't hold up. I have NO expectations this would do any better.
Last month these trucks were going for $10,000 now they are going to be $15000 what are they going to be next month $20000 ?
“And it’s electric.” Is $15k the down payment? Or is it “batteries not included”?
I bet you it is going to be based on the Chevy Montana that is built in Brazil. GM now sells it in Mexico.
Yes I would buy one ,all want a good truck .I don’t need all that fancy stuff
Why don’t they let people order on line and have them bring it to your home. Cut out the middle man. ???? Dealership killed the Maverick. They would’ve been 4 -5 times as many sold if it wasn’t for the dealership. 😊
Sounds like a “joke”. Side by side cost 20 thousand and more. Get rid of government EPA, and OSHA, DOE and you might start making an impact.
It would be AWESOME if Toyota would bring back the Hilux 4WD pickup for $20K-&25K to America.
We’d gobble those Hilux faster than Toyota could produce them
I want this truck
15 thousand dollar pickup, 6 or 8 cylinder, single cab, long box, no frills. 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton. 4 cylinder isn't practical.
Bet $100 that no one can buy the one pictured for $15,000 or even $20,000. If GMC really has a $15,000 they will dominate the truck market and I'll take two.
If you see one on a lot for double that I will eat my hat.
Only one way to do this skip the dealership process and buy direct online through GM simple 🙂
I'd buy one
Go back to old style .like 60s or 70d . Make them simple and tough. I'd buy one in a minute.
Dealership. Mark up will. Be around. 45 thousand not so fast don’t get. Your hopes up.
The only way gm can do this is it came in multiple boxes to be assembled at home like a kit car.
I want this one,but I think it will never happen😂
GM can’t build a reliable full sized pickup, so we all know that it’s impossible to build a $15K pickup.
Only 5% of the population want an EV, so like Bud Lite, they’ll short themselves in the foot.
I would buy it
As soon as i can i will have one.
It would
Be great if they can do it
Drive a. 80 thousand doller. Truck off the dealership lot. Wondering it will
Make it home or not. Couldn’t imagine a 15 thousand doller truck. Might want you buddy meat their to pick it up with a low boy Make sure. You get home with out breaking down
If we cant send a ship to Mars we can do this the only hold back would be GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no way it will sell at 15,000
Check out a new 15,000 pickup truck that's going to cost you $75 at the dealership
GM has a labor cost problem no way can make a penny selling for less than $30k
This is malarkey.
It’s gonna compete with Toyota’s scout
I paid $10000 for a1998 Chevy drove it to 300000 miies.. Replace it with a 1988 Chevy 350
WHAT WE NEED IS TO REMOVE OURSELFS OUT OF THEIR USERY SYSTEM.!!!
Because full sabotaging is okay as long as it's just for the Auto industry
Their $70k vehicles are garbage, I wonder what this one will be.....
I'm gonna throw the bs flag on this one!!!😅
This is why this woman should not be CEO's. Her emotions have her talking stupid. She is not grounded in reality. What a joke.
..$15,000 truck we shall see..
This truck will be made out of styrofoam and thumb tacks. It won’t even make it off the dealers lot before it breaks
Stripped 4 clyno air cheep cheep Instant made in mexico junk.Instant Trouble
Need come out vehicle 15000 and not electric stop making so much gray colors need more greens browns insude out
Id be nice but someone is lying
This is fantasy.
15k means 40k.
