@@macrostiffproductions2978you’re correct. Some people make more money than these professors who say people are dumb for paying these prices. Business owners need trucks and need tax write offs to make their business work. But these professors who say people are dumb to pay these prices are probably not smart enough to run a business so they get on their keyboard and call people dumb for buying a $65,000 usd pickup. But then again a real professor wouldn’t make such a simple generalization. Not a lot of IQ here . What about a new college grad at a new job who needs a truck to get to work who’s making $130,000 to start? He/she may pay these prices and aren’t that dumb

Sure. Do you even know what happened when car manufacturers sold the cars to retail themselves???? Any idea?

While there’s no question that truck prices are getting ridiculous, the fact remains that as long as customers keep demanding the latest and greatest in technology and comfort, manufacturers are going to keep providing and at a premium price. They charge this much because they know that they will always have a customer base that is willing to buy them. If any of the big 3 truck companies come out with a quarter of a million dollar half ton truck, I can say with absolute 100% certainty, that there will be people willing to pay for it. TFL has already proven that most truck buyers look for the top end trim packages rather than something basic. Until that trend stops or changes course, finding affordable trucks for the average person is going to become less and less common.

I have a 2010 Silverado that's falling apart and I work in construction, but I can't even fathom paying any of these prices and I won't.

I saw a 120 month financing offer a few weeks ago at one of my local dealerships - wonder how many people they are actually suckering into that scheme

Insurance prices are going up too. I don't think people consider that. It's not just the truck payment. Also the high interest rates. Who in their right mind wants to pay over a thousand dollars a month for 7 years!! It's insane!

A man will buy his Truck before a vacation to Disney land or college for his kids..."probably", screw the new couch that one isn't farted out yet..I might be wrong

I aint getting screwed. I just got a killer deal on a Chevy Colorado. Granted, there are really awful prices out there but if you do your due diligence and research your vehicle choice before you decide to make a purchase, you will be happy with your purchase. I went with a bare bones 2024 Colorado with great gas mileage, great comfortable seats and a nice touch screen that comes standard. Look into your towing/hauling needs, maybe you dont need the V8. There are plenty of V6 and 4cyl turbos out there that will save you money on gas every week. Evaluate the features you need that are a must have, nice additions or things you absolutely do not want on your truck or car. I had a sunroof (that i could never use because my roof rack was too loud) on my previous vehicle, leather heated power seats, remote start all that and i did not “need” any of that. I had a z71 silverado years ago and used 4wd twice! In years of ownership. Guess what? Saved thousands on getting one with no 4wd. All trucks are basically rwd unless you switch to 4wd mode anyhow. I did my research on my trade and knew what it was worth and only took that. I figured out the few truck makes and models i liked and drove them at several dealers. Then went home and thought about it all for a couple days. I watched youtube videos on tricks and fees dealers add that are entirely negotiable or that you can decline paying for entirely. I used several websites with payment calculators, knew my credit score, knew the APR and the term i was ok with, found the exact truck, color, mpg, horsepower i wanted BEFORE i did any numbers or negotiating at the dealer and researched average repair costs and maintenance costs. Some cars are double or triple than others! At the end, got blue book value for my trade and got $4,000 off sticker price, great APR and term length that I wanted. Not what the salesman wanted. He didnt even do a walk thru with me after, he was a little bitter and salty. Which made me feel even better about my deal! Brand new 2024 Colorado for $28,500. In western Washington with some of the highest prices in the country

Why do you say, people are still buying them, when dealers car lots are full of unsold trucks.

Exactly true and I hope I can help share the math behind that

When it's a couple years old the fancy electronics start going goofy and quit working. Add then a nice new thousand bucks to try and fix it. And may have to wait a few weeks for them to find the part somewhere. Then try to sell it when prospective buyers know the vehicle is just waiting to give you an unpleasant surprise when even more fancy computer stuff malfunctions.

People will ignore what's right in front of them to get a new shiny toy. You have to be honest with yourself if your considering your future. The prices are so ridiculous, I will keep driving my 17 Ford until i can't fix it anymore and the money that they won't get from me gets invested every month. Far better gameplan in my opinion.

Yes, the people who are addicted to getting the 'style points' in the super market parking lot are the ones who keep screwing themselves. These fancy truck and SUVs have been over priced for many years but people keep needing the validation of having a new and huge fancy vehicle. A construction business owner does not need the luxury cab, fancy appointments and 'look at me' expensive rims and tires that for the most part never get a spec of dirt on them from doing real work.

Better yet "Zambelli's" next door, we pull up website and view their pictures of pizza, prime rib, etc. looks magnificently delicious. We are from South Louisiana where the entire world comes for the best Cajun foods and "Zambelli's looks like they could be our long lost relatives!

The new Silverado EV starts at $100,000. Tows 10,000 pounds. Range of 400 miles+ 0 - 60 in 4 seconds Quarter mile under 13 seconds. Now I seriously doubt that as an EV the price will actually be $100,000. Chances are it'll get tax credits of some type or rapidly depreciate into discounts to get the price under $100k. That said: the RAM TRX is sold for well more than $125,000 ($89,000 MSRP) and will cost you a FORTUNE in gas, insurance and maintenance.

This is why buying used is so expensive. Still better than new.

@1:45 Yes, but only if you stick to the extended American oil change intervals and extended American tire change intervals. That means, either your engine has blown up or you hit a flag pole really hard because you were too cheap to buy proper tires. 😘😁 Seriously, bro, you mostly either bought the wrong vehicle, ran it into the ground or it was totaled due to some circumstance in or out of your control. 🤷‍♂

Some people are dumb enough to pay whatever it takes to have a cool ride. Then two years later it's getting repo'd and they blame everyone but themselves.
