Try to sell a pickup truck for $85,000 is insane.
Whats a $85,000 truck worth after one year? $50,000?

The Ram classic which this plant produces is no wear near 85k. As the gal said it’s an entry level truck.
Don't blame them. Blame the Democrats for driving the cost of everything to make them throuhgh the freaking stratosphere the past 3 years.
You know what consumers want in a pickup truck ???? They want one that is NOT $80,000 !!!!!!!
And not all of this computerized crap they put in it that increases the sticker price by $10k.
@@ThunderStruck94660 10k and more, plus it needs fixing which will cost you down the road, these screens go out more than potential customers know, Electronics who really needs them, Keep your eyes on the road not on the screen.
Pickup trucks should be work trucks. One model can be "fancy" for the rich D bags in society. Vinyl seats AC (optional) manual windows cut and dry throttle body for gas engines and use a cummins diesel for the diesel package. All pickups come with no box you can either A buy a flatbead from the company or a box from the company. they would not keep those type of trucks on the lot. Also get rid of all the plastic crap on it and I would take it further the doors are removable for summer work. new trucks are like luxury studio apartments on wheels.
@@mattywho8485 at that price, it better s..k my d..k
This all started with the federal govt getting mixed up in this business.
You pay a guy a $39million salary and expect to pass that burden to the consumer? Yeah, good luck with that. SMH
Remember 39mil is a drop in a bucket for a company that makes $9B last 6 months

Can't make a profit with the Union. Who does the hiring the Union or the company?

No bailouts for the auto industry. Tell the auto industry and their supporters in Congress to not even think of asking for a bailout. Not again. Never again.
The lady who is being interviewed is being honest, unusual the say the least. Most of what is said is the public will come around and buy and buy all electric trucks soon.

This is great news. When you spend decades not treating consumers fairly then this is what they deserve.
Rubber flooring, manual crank windows, no computer nonsense. Basic, uncomplicated, inexpensive trucks. That’s what American buyers want. Imagine a brand new 1989 F-150 XL with the inline 6 cylinder engine. Timing chains or gears. No belts.
@@theirthereandtheyre2947 they would sell thousands
Also, many of us (especially me) want manual transmissions.
In 1989 the F150 did have a computerized engine.
Back then the few remaining non-computer engines were an absolute nightmare in order to have California smog devices.
Ever diagnose and repair the vacuum gizmos on a non computerized Honda smog engine? Suddenly the computer parts don't seem that bad. Often you could figure out what went wrong with old Ford EFI engines using an unfolded paper clip.
However, the F150 did not have any electronics it didn't really need. No stupid touchscreen to turn the ac or heat. The radio had actual buttons and knobs.
Exactly

Stellantis is making the huge mistake of telling consumer what they want ! WRONG !
The same thing happened to all American manufacturers in the 70's. Americans wanted smaller, more fuel efficient cars/trucks, but Detroit said NO! You'll take what we give you!
So Imports started selling like hot cakes (Datsun, Toyota, Volkswagen, et al) and nobody bought Detroit's big gas guzzlers. It wasn't long until "The Big Three" fell flat on their collective faces and for the first time, in the 90's, The city of Detroit went bankrupt because they no longer had their massive tax base (GM, Ford and Chrysler---along with the 100Ks of people who worked for them.)
Detroit has still not recovered. It's a ghost town compared to what it was up until the 70'--80's
@@cowboyofscience7611 you are correct. In the 60's and 70's, American auto manufacturing sold MILLIONS more cars and trucks than they do now. Then, as now, they decided to concentrate on more expensive vehicles, letting imports take over the auto segment the union forced wages so high that no one could afford to BUILD an economy car. In 1973, federal minimum wage was $1.60. UAW assembly line workers (many of whom had ZERO special skills or education) were making nearly four times that. I don't blame the manufacturing for moving. They literally had no choice. But the commies at the UAW will never recognize that, and will continue to snivel until the last unions die a painful, expensive death in auto america.
@@aw8388 It WAS partly because of unions--but it also was the fault of the "Big Three" (or Four, as it was also AMC back then, who later sold to Chrysler.) They refused to make the cars the US public wanted at the time. They all shared in the downfall of Detroit.
Remember, we had the "Energy Crisis" during the 70's--and "The Public" wanted cheap transportation.
I remember those days of making $1.60/hour! That was the first wage I ever earned.
ALL manufacturers are doing that now. Try to by a 2-door coupe! Short of buying a sports car, you can't!
@@cowboyofscience7611well, the Pinto and Vega were also so awful, they made the Toyota Corolla and Datsun 210 serm good by comparison.
If those cars were good, Toyota would be a joke in the USA, and Datsun would have only been known for the Z car.

Yessir! Eurotrash buys iconic American brands and promptly turns these brands into the kind of Fiat Panda cars we reject! After caving to the ridiculous demands of the UAW, they have laid off, and will continue to layoff Americans, as they move jobs and production out of the US. The union was too dumb to realize that with the insane wage and compensation packages, the automakers can only profit on the ultra high priced trucks and SUVs, leaving auto manufacturing to the Asian manufacturers. Now the market is flooded with stupidly high priced trucks and SUVs Americans aren't buying! How's that "win" taste now, UAW? And if you were dumb enough to support the UAW as they were pricing you out of your job, how are you gonna pay the bills when the gravy train stops?

The interviewer is clueless to think that Cybertruck or Rivian is a competitor. No real truck owner wants an electric truck. A base model Ram 1500 is what they should be making and in fact I would recommend keeping it stripped down completely. Consumers want reliability and affordability.
The new ram 1500 and the ram 1500 classic are basically the same truck. Same size same drive train same capabilities. Either come in base model.

@@phillipgarrow2297 they are. And the new model has a base model. Has since its debut in 2019. Both trucks are practically identical. Kind of foolish to have two trucks in the exact same category.
Fact of the matter is the cars are overpriced for the general economy. No one can afford them anymore. Foreign markets don't want them either. Quality is also not so good.
Thats all part of the WEF plan. “You will own nothing”
Destroying several American brands in one go. Small engines in oversized cars is not going to work. All electric jeeps is just dumb. Jeep Wrangler EV (all-electric in 28) is fx c-k0 ing stupid..CEO just got 56% pay raise as he lays off 2500. What a pri ck.
Gotta love corporate America. They didn't even try to move production to Mexico.
John Deere is enjoying huge profits but the company is planning to move production to Mexico and leaving the Quad Cities. So it’s not just the car industry.
I agree what person who is into overlanding wants a electric jeep when you are out in a remote area with a gas/diesel vehicle you can refuel at a farm or ranch ( over landers do carry extra fuel) the point is where are you going to plug in at??? I over land my duelsport bike and I carry extra gas however I took a farther then usual route and I figured I want to top off my tank and not use my spare fuel so I rode into a ranch and the guy was there and I bought 1.5 gallons from him with cash ( not a big purchase I get it but the point is I refueled and was on my way in a manner of minutes)
I wonder how many armed guards these ceos have. One day they they might look like the ceos during the French revolution.
I’m not an automotive expert, however I wouldn’t feel confident taking an electric jeep through deep mud and/or water where jeeps were originally designed to go.

My 2000 Silverado was as basic as a modern pickup could get. Manual windows, no electric seats, basic V8, etc. But everyone who rode in it, liked it and wanted to buy one.
YES!!! Single cab with an 8 foot bed. Simple.
1994 was the last non-computer diesel pickup. 1987 was the last non-computer gasoline pickup. Good luck.

To much money spent on labor and poor quality parts to Lower price
I think they won't for a few reasons: One it's defeat but two it's because of Unions. Unions cost them so much money I don't know if they can reduce the prices anymore as they would be loosing so much especially just after they gave into the demands of Unions.
Pickups today are nothing but overpriced grocery getters.
My Ram has 5' 5" bed. I have a 1993 Chev 8' bed and its really a survivor can't drive it a week with out people wanting to buy it. Real trucks won't go away.

@annathemaanderson4448 Here in BANANADA they are a necessity. Only thing that tows a 5th wheel RV is a pickup.

Make affordable trucks that last. My friend had an '89 F150 in HS with the 300 straight 6 and he put 400,000 miles on it before he sold it and got a new one that is full of problems.
So They are going to stop making the most affordable truck during a recession…genius!
i have had 3 jeeps all failed the same at the same period of time {4 years}. The dealership charged me for six new spark plugs but put the same old one back in ,But I always mark consumable items on my vehicle. I will not buy domestic again.Japanese trucks last longer have better resale and the service costs are up front ,NO HIDDEN COST OR SURPRISES.The only people to blame is the people at the top of the company
Can confirm, Jeeps are junk
It makes me so angry to see where the company went. My mom had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and was the second best car she ever had. When it finally died, the Fiat built Jeeps were nothing like it.
Sad but hard truth. New truck prices raised to cover new union contracts = layoffs
Truth.
Thats the problem with any union and company negotiators.
Negotiating contracts are basically Demands, which is the wrong approach. And thats from both Companies and Unions.
Negotiating any contract should always be of compromise. End results usually tend to fall into longer term and more stable contracts.
But if the Negotiation is mostly Demands from both sides, you'll end up in short term contracts which is usually bad.
Truck sales are slow, let’s stop production of the cheapest trucks!!

Consumers do not want to spend $60k on a basic pickup. The prices are too high
One of the things I appreciate about your coverage Lauren is you always remind people about insurance costs. Thank you

Don’t forget, we also want affordable vehicles.
and not everyone wants to be forced to buy an SUV, crossover, or pickup... that's where The Big Three made their mistake when they killed off nearly all their sedans...
Don't ever let anyone tell you differently. If they didn't make terrible vehicles, they wouldn't be in trouble.

@@davidwalker7721 yes Carlos Tavares their ceo either has no idea what he’s doing or he’s doing this on purpose to crash the company and sell it off to the highest bidder, like how they just sold Chrysler to BYD.
The new ram 1500 and the ram 1500 classic are basically the same truck in the same market. They are the same size same weight same power train same capabilities. Having both of them would be like Ford having an f 150 and an f 150 classic. Makes no sense. The only reason the ram 1500 classic has been around this long is it uses the same cab and bed as the ram 2500 3500 4500 series trucks so the parts are available.

UAW greed building for people making AVG of 45,k a year . Build something besides junk that's in the shop all the time !!!
I saw my first Cybertruck in a parking lot just two days ago. It’s comparison to a hotel ice machine is well founded. I walked around it, looked in the windows and ran my thumb along the sharp edges in the corners above the headlights and wondered how that ever passed DOT approval. (Bags of money I guess.) Anyways, I quickly became bored with looking at it and walked away. Dumb vehicle.
Dumbest looking thing ever made (excluding Whoopie Goldberg) and the only people that would buy such a thing are basically narcissists with really really tiny….you get the drift
Big huge diversified corporations do not want locally or even nationally manufactured products. They want everything they produce to be shipped overseas via their shipping company’s. A container ship with 20,000 containers or a roll-on/roll-off auto carrier ship profits $100,000,000.00 or more per trip across the ocean.
Where's the UAW? Oh ya playing politics instead of working hard for their dues paying members!!

Vote blue get the blues
UAW Fein is untrustworthy in my opinion. He needs to keep his political views to himself and his BIG MOUTH SHUT.
1st thing is 1st. You need to focus on how to Negotiate the Demands rather than the Demands of Negotiating. Usually that is always a fault of these so called union Bosses. The Position has gotten in their Heads.
2nd learn to understand that Buisnesses can operate without a union.
3rd learn whats happening in the economy and 5yrs from now. Whether its Medical Insurances, Cost of living, etc.
4th Learn to Compromise.
Its a give and take deal.
5th Learn what are you willing to sacrifice in order to gain, NOT what are you willing to gain in order to sacrifice.
6th Learn to play poker / 3d chess.
7th Never show your cards and always keep the ACE in the back pocket.
8th Learn to Accept small gains upfront can pay off in return for longrun stability.
9th make room in contract negotiations in good faith for future adjustments increases.
There are many more ways to accomplish things is all fairness between Businesses and Unions, but the problem is usually both and are only focused in the DEMANDS.
😂😂😂 And where is Shawn Fain ?? Mr UAW was screaming last fall for the big 3 plants to strike simultaneously and to bring the factories to their knees unless the UAW got what they wanted! Well, the big 3 conceded and now, the plants are still noncompetitive and are cutting jobs!
The question is, is it better for the workers to get their old salaries back while still have a job or to get their inflated salaries and be out of a job? I said this last fall and now, it have become reality ! ! !
What say you SHAWN FAIN??!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The UAW should have been able to strike and demand that the bigshots build cars people actually like, instead of what the WEF likes.

EVs ARE MORE DANGEROUS TO OUR ENVIRONMENT THAN GAS VEHICLES…..LOOK, HERES THE DEAL…..BIDEN HAD NO BUSINESS MANDATING HIS PERSONAL BELIEFS, WANTS, OR DESIRES ON ANY INDUSTRY AND HE HAS NO BUSINESS TELLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT WE CAN BUY…..THIS IS NOT A COMMUNIST COUNTRY , YET. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Build what consumers want, not what politicians want consumers to want.
I drive a ram 1500 classic as my work truck. It was built in Mexico.
I drive one for work it was built in Canada.
Good. the jobs you give them there. stops them illegaly coming to America.
Was it made by a UAW worker?
I find it hilarious that every Tundra is made in the USA.
Perfect that actually need and use trucks won’t touch a electric truck, we pull livestock trailers, horse trailers and they are constantly off road, every truck in our ranch is a 4x4
I will NEVER own any electric vehicle. I'll distill my own fuel before I use batteries. Overpriced Junk! GM has made mistake after mistake, and they no longer have my business.
Didn’t the UAW just endorse Harris? They might need to rethink that.
2:39 2:52 Cybertruck annual insurance cost: $15k.
Wow that's insane
The Stelan. out of country owners are killing the cheap truck? What just fully loaded $80,000 and up? Bad biz model IMHO
Rivian or cybertruck competition 😂😂😂
The consumer is tapped out...Quality issues, high insurance, and high interest rates on overpriced vehicles.
High interest rates?
Not for people with reasonable credit
Mary Barra should be fired for gross incompetence
Mary Barra should be forced to reimburse the taxpayer for GM.
You couldn’t give me a Tesla truck. It looks like it was made out of a kitchen rehab. Some of the fridge, dishwasher and stove. Absolutely an eyesore.
I have zero sympathy for them. Dealers have been fleecing customers for years now with markups. Manufacturers have also restricted output to keep prices high. No bailouts, let them suffer the consequences of how they have treated consumers.
There's still a chip shortage. Toyota is investing in its own chip manufacturing to ease the supply-constraint.
Dealers are independent entities the manufacturers don’t really have any control of what dealers do
@@JDMSwervo2001 and this is not a problem?
Awesome episode with good Intel MSM is not going to discuss. Thank you for this information. 💯
So what about our $31,000,000,000.00 tax payer money? Did it all go to unjustins Panama trust funds!??
Just like everything else, the oligarchs got richer at our expense.
Stellantis (Chrysler Group) sells POS (not point of sale).
The new Ram 1500 RHO looks like a real winner with the in line 6 with twin turbos ! ! !
Nobody wants battery vehicles ! ! !
President Trump needs to outlaw battery vehicles - period ! ! !
Why ban them, when you could just let the market have sales suffer?
The real problem selling trucks now is simple, they are seriously more expensive than what the average buyer is willing or able to spend.
Watch out for Hillbiilary.
If elected, Kamala will mandate all electric everything, so no worries about selling EV's.
Hybrid no, because they still use gas, so go all electric.
@@iworkout6912 You can't force people to buy things. If the ICE were outlawed (which it won't be), people would stop buying new vehicles.
I hear it's on the loose!
watch out for the dayglo ayatollah instead.
It will be interesting to see people fix old ICE vehicles instead of go electric.
THE INSURANCE FOR 1 YEAR IS MORE THAN WHAT WE BOUGHT OUR HATCH BACK FOR WHICH WAS $10,000 CANADIAN! IT IS A 2012 RED, 4 DOOR TOYOTA YARIS WITH JUST OVER 100,000 KILOMETRES ON IT, WITH NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS!
If the oem's want to really sell their trucks to us, they better make them with much lower msrp. Also, the compact PU truck segment is getting bloated, bigger in size AND price. ND ONE LAST THING, all of the oem's need to start offering a 4 cyl diesel option in their compact and midsize pickups. GM screwed up when they dropped their 2.8l turbo diesel, IMHO...
It was a good one!
Many of these companies wanted to keep making those diesels, but found making them smog legal was far too costly and complex.
This is what they get. When a $60,000 truck gets marked up to $90,000 nobody will buy one@15%
Good reporting Lauren, thank you. It seems to me that Henry Ford built a car that everyone could afford. Maybe if the government would get out of the business of telling everyone how to do things, then maybe we could come to some form of normality.
The only reason the Govt got involved is because of Joe Biden and his Green Fantasy. Extremists. Vote for anyone other there than a Progressive, Green Party Zellot.
he also did some dodgy things in brazil along with some other stuff. almost bankrupted the company
Based on Japanese media reports, around 40 to 50% of US sales for Toyota and Honda are currently hybrids. Both companies had record quarter profits for April-June 2024 because of strong consumer interests in hybrid vehicles and ridiculously weak JPY.
Nissan apparently didn't have a hybrid model in the North American market, which set them apart from other Japanese automakers. It could be they were more focused on the Ariya and the LEAF. Either way, Nissan has severely misread the North American market, which has led to high incentives and demand destruction.
Well, it is the only form of Renault that gets sold in the USA. I have heard it will end up as part of Stellantis soneday.
Who can afford a new car? . Prices are offensive
She is giving politically correct answers. She doesn't want to say that they are junk, and waaaay too expensive.
Prices are way to high for all of the so called "entry level" now.
At least the UAW workers got there raise!! That all that matter!!
And so it starts!
A friend of mine is a Union Boss for the GM engine plant in Romulus MI. he said by this time next year half his plant will be unemployed
American companies go under. Stock Market goes up.
It's all for the stock holders. Nothing but a Ponzi scheme
I worked for Dodge
Just sold a brand new

of the back end. $250 total lol
My one bedroom is $1500 a month
New Car sales has become impossible
its price, price, price
She's so full of it 😂
It doesn't cost 15,000 dollars to insure the Cybertruck. My neighbor has one. He pays 2400 dollars per year
Every large 35 inch tires are over 1000 dollars a piece.
Who made her the auto expert when she's so biased towards the EVs.
Overpriced $90,000 pickups, cars that spy on your driving habits, too many heavy, expensive options that hit both gas gauge and wallet, a dozen onboard computers to fail, 30% inflation since 2022...It's time to keep and repair our cars until the auto industry comes back to earth.
If you make poor quality products, then you need to go out of business. No loans, no bailouts!! Someone will come along and fill that void if there is a market.
