Prices aren’t coming down 50%. Even though there was greed by these manufacturers they still have to account for actual inflation. Consumers are partially at fault here. Maybe they shouldn’t or didn’t NEED to turn an F150 into their daily driver. Or maybe they didn’t need heated/ventilated seats with dual zone climate controls and a digital cockpit with a heated steering wheel. But they asked for it. Trucks used to have a bench wrapped in vinyl. Now they have suede and leather. Americans are also guilty of consumerism and wanting to look cool.

in 1978 my Dad purchased a new F250 for under $7,000. It was a 4x4 V8. Has over 200k miles and it still runs and drives. I doubt a new F250 will last that long.
I completely agree, all these new vehicles are disposable, way too many electronics and nothing but reliability issues in a few years. AND that '78 is a much better looking truck than these trucks!!!😀
Oh, a new one WON'T last that long. Can't tell you how many broke-down $50,000+ pickups I've passed on the road in my '65 250 that I've had for 27 years... which has NEVER stuck me on the road.
you can get a Porsche 911, 400hp, half the weight, for around 130k. It will absolutely blow the doors off that high center, not aerodynamic, heavy truck......... why would anybody spend that much on a "performance" pickup truck is beyond me. The whole off the shelf "performance truck" market really is targeted at the lowest common denominator. A "not very sporty compared to a sports car" vehicle for the trailer park.
It all depends on what you want out of a vehicle and if you care what others think about what you drive. I drive an older car that I got for 6k with low mileage. Sure, it doesn't scream, "money," but, it's a nice, dependable, vehicle that will take me anywhere with a great mpg to boot. Unless you absolutely need a truck every day of the week, get a cheap sedan and just rent a truck from uhaul once or twice a year.

I tow my used $500 utility trailer whenever I need to with my medium size SUV (my only family vehicle) with which I can carry at least as much as most pickups.
I used to be a Ford person. That ended in 92 when the old Windsor engine disappeared out of cars. I would much rather drive a real car with a real engine. My 89 Grand Marquis was rated for 6,000 pounds of trailer, and when not towing, it matched the 7 litres per 100 km I get in my 04 Toyota Corolla
I feel sorry for younger generation in US and Canada it is much harder now with all those prices . In1998 fresh of the boat immigrant I was making $5.80 per hour living in studio appartment in Knoxville TN was $240 per month included all utilities ,and I paid for my brand new Dodge Neon $8.8K (manual tranny)
Gotta wonder how much of these price increases are just the manufacturer's recouping their EV investments by jacking up prices on the gasoline powered vehicles.
A while back when I was looking for a truck, I noticed something. There were a lot of trucks out there with 100-150k miles on them. And the bed looked like they’d never even had a bag of groceries in it. Obviously used to haul kids to soccer practice. And they still wanted top dollar for them! Trucks became the new status symbol instead of the BMW’s. There also seems to be a lot of ‘men’ driving these big trucks around trying to compensate for something. I’ll keep my old ‘08 ranger. No air, no cruise, manual locks and windows…..it pulls my boat, hauls stuff, is paid for and cheap to insure. I’ll keep driving it until I can no longer get parts for it.
That "great technology" is phonng home to Ford who promptly sells your driving habits to insurance companies to guantee your rates go up, not to mention your f'ing PRIVACY..
I own a 1977 Ford LTD. And even though its a base model that lacks all the amenities that make it a luxury car, I am so grateful to have it compared to any new car out there today gas or battery powered.
"775 HP" in block letters on the side, is just garish, was it commissioned by a 16 year old ? The base F250 XL 4X4 is $50,000+ I don't want one that bad.
Jim Farley said last year that he has no plans on making the maverick in any higher volume than it is right now: Single shift in one factory in Mexico. The Maverick is the current era Escort- we won't make money on it, but we will keep the US CAFE requirements compliant so that we can continue to sell the F150 (which currently has a $13,000 US net profit margin.)
I bought a Ford F-150 XLT Lariat truck in 1987 for $15,000, it was a special order truck in the colors I wanted, and it had every option in the book, including 4WD, dual gas tanks, power windows, etc. The salesman told me it was the most expensive truck they had ever sold. And they gave me a $600 rebate check, so I got it for $14,400. It was the best truck I ever had, it had the 6 year bumper to bumper warranty, with unlimited mileage, and I drove it for 6 years with no problems.
Since 1987 inflation has you needing $2.73 to buy the same thing one dollar bought then. Therefore, just from inflation alone, that $15,000 truck costs $41K today. You do realize that was 37 years ago don't you? Now add things like back up cameras, cell phone connectivity, and other nanny safety features, a decent sound system, nicer looking interior, and you basically get to a $50K base truck. Some of the safety junk Ford and every manufacturer puts into trucks is now mandated by laws and regulations, including emissions and fuel economy. Remember the days when you just needed to periodically put air in the tires? Now the vehicle has to have a sensor in every single wheel to tell stupid people their tires are low on air by law. And add whole curtains of airbags so the same stupid people can live another day to not check the air in their tires.
@@markholubetz Had my wife order me a 2022 XL Hybrid and she was told that it would be here in 13 weeks, and I soon learned that it would take much much longer. Well, when I got rolled over to a 2023 model because of demand, I upgraded to a Larait so I could get cruise control, rear electric window, and lane centering mainly. I grumbled because “I don’t need heated seats and steering wheel in Florida, but man do I love them! Haha 471 days from my initial order I picked up my truck with no surprise additional markup thank god. Walked out the door for $35k total including retail, tax, fees, shipping, a service contract, and insurance gap coverage. They and my wife wore me down in the finance office to get the two extra packages, but later I was able to cancel them with no trouble when I read the fine print and it was NOT what we had discussed .The roughest I have treated it was 600 pounds of ceramic tile and four adults traveling 73mpg with AC on doing mid 40s mpg. Drives and handles more like a car on the street, highway, woods or beach. Although the moment they come out with a Hybrid AWD or 4WD model I am selling it to upgrade. Gets almost 50 mpg because I drive like a granny makes me feel like the savings makes the payment completely affordable. When I got rolled over to 2023 Ford gave us a credit to make up for the price increase, although regretfully they cancelled the zero percent interest offers.
$70k for a new F150 or $5k-8k (in my area) for an early 2000s F150 which is plenty capable for most people and will probably outlast the new F150s sold today....
I lease an f150 xlt crew cab 4x4 in 2019. 2500 down 199.00 per month 24 mos, 12000 mls per year. The residual was 31000. When lease was up it was Covid time and stuff hit the fan. I bought the lease out. Smartest thing I ever did.
Why? No one is forcing you to buy. The general public has to become aware they have the power to bring the car manufactures to their knees. Quite simple don’t buy. Don’t buy any cars or trucks for six months ! Not a single sale. Then see who is in control!
The reason why prices are ridiculous is the US Government forcing EVs on consumers, and gas cars need to subsidize them. So blame that on the current administration. There seems to be plenty of Broncos on dealer lots now, so maybe you can get a deal on one of them. I'm not sure why people buy the Bronco sport. It feels like a rebadged Japanese car.
I live in Lethbridge, Alberta and I went to the local Dodge looking for Durango GT plus I didn't want all the fixings and they found one in Saskatchewan for me for $70,000 and told me my bi-weekly payments would be 475 and what a great deal that would be. I just can't justify spending over $900 on a vehicle that I need for my family and myself. So just keep maintaining my vehicle until they all decide to drop prices I guess.
Wow that is simply another example of overpriced vehicles. Waiting for further incentives and discounts, coupled with , hopefully, a reduction in interest rates may also save some cash.
Scream196, I gave up buying American vehicles back in 2010. I got tired of the dealer pricing and service bullshit.Since then, I and my extended family have bought 9 Hyundai and Kia's, of which 3 were vans. All the vehicles are still in service except one got totaled and another got sold off because of going overseas. Not one of these vehicles has ever had a mechanical problem, and 4 now have between 100K and 200k miles on them. They come with a 5yr 60k mile bumper to bumper and 100k drive train warranty. A new Kia telluride and Hyundai palisade base price here in the USA is 36,100 dollars comes with 3.8 v6, 8 speed Trans, tows 5k, comes standard with all the stop and go cruise, blind spot, lane change stuff standard. That matches up pretty close to your Durango, so unless you need to tow 6k, I'd give them a look. I've talked to the service department where I have my car serviced before because of statements about engine problems reported on the internet. I was told the problem with these vehicles is they are cheap to buy and the people that buy them are cheap and don't keep them serviced. They say kias and hyundai's don't like extended oil changes, just change the oil at 5 to 6k miles, and you'll never have a problem.
(20/4/10 Rule) = It advises putting down a minimum of 20% as a down payment, financing the vehicle for no more than four years, and keeping your monthly loan payment within 10% of your monthly income. So if you make $60,000/yr, your monthly income = $5,000, so your monthly car payment must be no more than $500, and with rates at 7%, that would mean that you are financing a $10,000 loan (80%), so your vehicle can cost no more than $12,500 (100%).
The biggest problem is Ford announced the Mavrick as a 20k truck, yes that was the Front wheel drive Basic XL trim. The interior was said to be lack luster and a sea of plastic in reviews, but that was something you could accept at that price point. Problem is it's the same craptastic interior in the XLT and even the Lariat aside form the seats and upgraded sound system it's the same dash just a better color of plastic. The issue is even the XL base is 26K+ the XLT is in the 30k+ and the Lariat is 40K+. I really thought the 2.0 Turbo was going to be the same as the Focus ST but on start up it sounds cheap and tinny and that is not like the Focus ST because I had one. I looked at the XLT and it was 34K and I declined to even test drive it after I started it up It isn't even close to the Santa Cruz. I can't even believe I can say that and I'm willing to spend Lariat money on a Hyundi Santa Cruz because it's that much nicer of a Vehicle.
I've looked at the Santa Cruz and Maverick. With the DCT issues Hyundai is having with their Santa Cruz's put me off on that. They should have done a standard transmission for that vehicle. And the Maverick, it has a better ride quality over the Santa Cruz however the plastic's are a turn off for the price. Might be worth a buy on the used market but I can't see buying one new at todays prices. I've ended up not going for either truck. I can find 2015 - 2016 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x's for half the price of a Maverick with low miles (sub 50k miles) so will probably go this route. But I am glad both Hyundai and Ford are trying to bring back the small truck market. Maybe other makes will give them some competition.
The Maverick is being built-in Mexico Quantity control sucks all about cheap labor. Waiting for Toyota stout. But my 2011 Ranger is a great truck new Rangers are too $ and have problems
American UAW built vehicles have poor quality. Toyota builds vehicles in Mexico so that blows your Toyota quality argument out of the water if you say Mexico built cars are bad.
The Santa Cruz is one of the ugliest vehicles made. It costs more than a Maverick. And the Maverick 2.0 isn't the ST version but you sound too ignorant to know that.
Maverick is supposed to have base price of 22 thousand, but you can't find a base model. The dealerships near me sell them pretty quick but they are always about 30-35 thousand dollars. They are for the most part a SUV with a truck bed which is a good thing for most people. I thought about getting a Maverick but have decided to wait till some other brands come out with one. 30 thousand is too much for me and my 07 Silverado crew cab is in great shape and runs great. I will keep my Silverado but just thought of the convenience of having a smaller truck for light loads and pulling my 5-10 trailer.
I bought a Subaru Baja. It does the same thing as the Maverick for $2000, plus it needs brakes and a good cleaning. I will be going down the road for about $2500 doing anything that the Maverick will.
I have also been looking at used trucks, I'm not in a hurry to find something and one day I will find the right fit for me. Thanks for the feedback.@@daniellaws2307
EV pick-up stagnant sales are really a function of consumer aversion to price to buy and then own. The range issues are not a big problem for most consumers as the average daily driving distance for pick-ups is just 50 miles.
Western countries are no longer wealthy, what you are experiencing is reducing spending power. You used to be able to get a RAM, Silverado, or F-150 but now all you can get is a Maverick. It's just a decline in living standards.
I used to think the $6000 I paid for my 1988 F250 was too much. After a $10,000 paint job, and a $3500 Gearvendors OD unit...I wouldn't trade it for that Shelby.
My company just purchased 8 brand new 2024 Ford F-150 xlt work trucks. Also bought two f350 platinums and one guy really wanted a gmc so we got him the 3500. Ford isn’t worried about people not buying their trucks. Plenty of us buy them, just not for personal use.
These prices are so far out of my ability to afford,I just don’t understand how these companies think they can charge these prices,and still sell a product!!! Even a Maverick at $44,000,I can’t even think about affording something like this!!! They are nuts!!!🤔🤯😡💩
I have a ‘97 Chevy 1500 WT, and it has A/C and a stereo, and for something that I use part time it’s plenty. I looked into buying a new Maverick and replace both the truck and another vehicle. But it was hard to find one, now if I can find one they optioned it out and jacked the price up. If in a couple of years nobody makes a reasonably priced truck, I will put money into restoring the one that I have.
And that price just jumped by 23% with the new carbon tax to build. You can thank Justin Turdo for that. My house cost less than the Mavrick 25 years ago. A 200k truck is a joke, might as well just start burning 100$ bills to stay warm.
Car price changes all the time, it is the consumer fault for allowing themselves to pay way over MSRP unwilling to take sacrifice such as buying cheap used cars to take mass transit and wait for the price to re-adjust. When supplies are constraint, price goes up, it is not a rocket science.
You do realize that was 40 years ago? It takes $30K now to have the same money value due to inflation. Now add government mandated walls of airbags, backup cameras, sensors in every wheel for pressure, cell phone interfaces consumers demands, etc and your are at $50K. The safety nazis have not helped this.
I am not a Ford fan at all but since I am in the market for a new truck I just happen to look around my local area. A fucking base model was $62k. You can go straight to hell on that one.
The maverick is. Based on the transit connect chassis. They killed that to get enough production to produce that little pickup. The Van was the more functional vehicle at that size it could easily take a full sheet of ply. And be reconfigured for 7 people.
$41,000 for the maverick that's top of the line. I bought the wife the XL for $28,500 that's all wheel drive. It's cheaper than almost any SUV or sedans
The dealers mark ups have killed the industry they should close them down sell online or force them to sell at the market price people have had enough of being ripped off.
They need to make a WORK truck for the average American and tradesman. Leave all of that tech bullcrap out of it. Everyone these days has a smart phone anyway. AC, cruise, power windows, a bullet proof engine and durable rust proofing is all that's required.
Thank you for pointing out the absurd. I have 3 vehicles, and the last payment I made on one of those vehicles, was over 7 years ago. To compare to this video, I inherited a 2001 Yukon SLT from my late father. It only has 81,000 miles on it. I remember being in the dealership the day that he bought it. Prices are way out of control today, and I am more than happy to keep the three vehicles that I currently have, as I do all of my own maintenance.

You need a Hunter Biden job to pay for that.
We are going to be like Cuba soon all driving old cars keeping them running because we can’t buy new ones ! Wish I was joking
I’ve been saying the same thing for years
I feel sorry for younger generation in US and Canada it is much harder now with all those prices . In1998 fresh of the boat immigrant I was making $5.80 per hour living in studio appartment in Knoxville TN was $240 per month included all utilities ,and I paid for my brand new Dodge Neon $8.8K (manual tranny)
The neon was one of the best low cost vehicles.
I love this "boots on the ground" approach. Hope to see more.
Thank you very much. Much more to follow.
FINALLY! An "affordable" vehicle in MY price range, that Shelby at $193K! I will coming down in the morning to sign the papers. THANK YOU!!!
You forgot the /s
These cars should be like 300-400k. If they increase the price they will sell fast. Hope ford ceo reads this.
Stupidest thing you’ve ever said
Gotta wonder how much of these price increases are just the manufacturer's recouping their EV investments by jacking up prices on the gasoline powered vehicles.
Ford is losing anywhere from $32k-45k on every EV, depending on which report you trust. They have to make that loss up somehow....
Govt doesn't want people driving in 8 yrs. Only wealthy people. See all the bike paths lately.
A while back when I was looking for a truck, I noticed something.
There were a lot of trucks out there with 100-150k miles on them. And the bed looked like they’d never even had a bag of groceries in it. Obviously used to haul kids to soccer practice. And they still wanted top dollar for them! Trucks became the new status symbol instead of the BMW’s. There also seems to be a lot of ‘men’ driving these big trucks around trying to compensate for something.
I’ll keep my old ‘08 ranger. No air, no cruise, manual locks and windows…..it pulls my boat, hauls stuff, is paid for and cheap to insure. I’ll keep driving it until I can no longer get parts for it.
Great point William, same with my old 2003 Ram. It literally does everything these 90,000 trucks do and it’s cheap to own and easy to fix
There’s so much government subsidies you can’t blame them for taking that FREE to them taxpayer money!
Tax payers fund their own demise.
When you say "great technology" I had to laugh.
That "great technology" is phonng home to Ford who promptly sells your driving habits to insurance companies to guantee your rates go up, not to mention your f'ing PRIVACY..
I own a 1977 Ford LTD. And even though its a base model that lacks all the amenities that make it a luxury car, I am so grateful to have it compared to any new car out there today gas or battery powered.
Get ready for another BAILOUT!🤣🤣✌🏼
Just want a cheap 4wd truck
"775 HP" in block letters on the side, is just garish, was it commissioned by a 16 year old ?
The base F250 XL 4X4 is $50,000+
I don't want one that bad.
I"ll keep what l have . Its paid off and easy to maintain by myself
Jim Farley said last year that he has no plans on making the maverick in any higher volume than it is right now: Single shift in one factory in Mexico. The Maverick is the current era Escort- we won't make money on it, but we will keep the US CAFE requirements compliant so that we can continue to sell the F150 (which currently has a $13,000 US net profit margin.)
The maverick plant is running all out on 3 shifts.
Don't understand the point of this rant....is it about EVs? Prices? Pickups? Hybrids? Seems confused
Absolutely f'ing INSANE.. Nearly 200K for an f'ing TRUCK?????
That is bananas
Not sure why you're blocking out the dealer header, when Big West flags are flying all over the lot.
I keep buying up the 1980s f250's. Seems a better investment than anything else.
For sure keep them old boys on the road
$200.000 truck paid off in 15 years... It's ok... It's a collectors item...🙄🙄🙄
Never in a million years ,I do not buy JUNK ,,,WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work
Over the years (I'm 74) I've owned TWO ford vehicles.. One a 1988 Mustang and a 2012 Escape, Both were pieces of crap.. NEVER AGAIN..
I'm seeing a lot more used GMC trucks on the roads lately.
Older ones
There's a lot of boomers close to death with a lot of cash and have these $190k F150's on their bucket list.
I bought a Ford F-150 XLT Lariat truck in 1987 for $15,000, it was a special order truck in the colors I wanted, and it had every option in the book, including 4WD, dual gas tanks, power windows, etc.
The salesman told me it was the most expensive truck they had ever sold. And they gave me a $600 rebate check, so I got it for $14,400. It was the best truck I ever had, it had the 6 year bumper to bumper warranty, with unlimited mileage, and I drove it for 6 years with no problems.
Since 1987 inflation has you needing $2.73 to buy the same thing one dollar bought then. Therefore, just from inflation alone, that $15,000 truck costs $41K today. You do realize that was 37 years ago don't you? Now add things like back up cameras, cell phone connectivity, and other nanny safety features, a decent sound system, nicer looking interior, and you basically get to a $50K base truck. Some of the safety junk Ford and every manufacturer puts into trucks is now mandated by laws and regulations, including emissions and fuel economy. Remember the days when you just needed to periodically put air in the tires? Now the vehicle has to have a sensor in every single wheel to tell stupid people their tires are low on air by law. And add whole curtains of airbags so the same stupid people can live another day to not check the air in their tires.
@@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz Thank you for telling me what I already know.
So far 13 months with Maverick Lariat Hybird, and the 48 mpg is not the only thing I just LOVE about it!
I would like to hear more about your experience with these units
@@markholubetz
Had my wife order me a 2022 XL Hybrid and she was told that it would be here in 13 weeks, and I soon learned that it would take much much longer. Well, when I got rolled over to a 2023 model because of demand, I upgraded to a Larait so I could get cruise control, rear electric window, and lane centering mainly. I grumbled because “I don’t need heated seats and steering wheel in Florida, but man do I love them! Haha 471 days from my initial order I picked up my truck with no surprise additional markup thank god. Walked out the door for $35k total including retail, tax, fees, shipping, a service contract, and insurance gap coverage. They and my wife wore me down in the finance office to get the two extra packages, but later I was able to cancel them with no trouble when I read the fine print and it was NOT what we had discussed .The roughest I have treated it was 600 pounds of ceramic tile and four adults traveling 73mpg with AC on doing mid 40s mpg. Drives and handles more like a car on the street, highway, woods or beach. Although the moment they come out with a Hybrid AWD or 4WD model I am selling it to upgrade. Gets almost 50 mpg because I drive like a granny makes me feel like the savings makes the payment completely affordable. When I got rolled over to 2023 Ford gave us a credit to make up for the price increase, although regretfully they cancelled the zero percent interest offers.
Me- Why are you asking $45k for a $30k vehicle?
Dealer- Affordability is a highly valuable commodity, it will cost you!
Haha
$70k for a new F150 or $5k-8k (in my area) for an early 2000s F150 which is plenty capable for most people and will probably outlast the new F150s sold today....
Absolutely and that’s why I am still rocking the old 2093 Ram
@@markholubetz Excellent choice my friend!
Thank God I use a VW polo deisel, 1.5 litre. 6 years old. Closed my loan. Reliable, 100000 kms done. Iam happy.
Yeah right.. the reason why the trucks are so high is to make up for discounted EVs
Something has to give for sure
I lease an f150 xlt crew cab 4x4 in 2019. 2500 down 199.00 per month 24 mos, 12000 mls per year. The residual was 31000. When lease was up it was Covid time and stuff hit the fan. I bought the lease out. Smartest thing I ever did.
Going into Covid things were good but this last 2 years it went inside down
Why? No one is forcing you to buy. The general public has to become aware they have the power to bring the car manufactures to their knees.
Quite simple don’t buy. Don’t buy any cars or trucks for six months ! Not a single sale. Then see who is in control!
Ever since I owned a 2012 Escape, bought new, which was a steaming pile of excrement, I now only buy used cars.
They raise your taxes to fund the bailout. You lose. Not in control.
The reason why prices are ridiculous is the US Government forcing EVs on consumers, and gas cars need to subsidize them. So blame that on the current administration.
There seems to be plenty of Broncos on dealer lots now, so maybe you can get a deal on one of them. I'm not sure why people buy the Bronco sport. It feels like a rebadged Japanese car.
Yes it’s an Escape
In '09, i bought a loaded f150 crew cab, 4x4. Full leather, etc. For $36k. The same truck today is almost twice that.
I live in Lethbridge, Alberta and I went to the local Dodge looking for Durango GT plus I didn't want all the fixings and they found one in Saskatchewan for me for $70,000 and told me my bi-weekly payments would be 475 and what a great deal that would be. I just can't justify spending over $900 on a vehicle that I need for my family and myself. So just keep maintaining my vehicle until they all decide to drop prices I guess.
Wow that is simply another example of overpriced vehicles. Waiting for further incentives and discounts, coupled with , hopefully, a reduction in interest rates may also save some cash.
Scream196, I gave up buying American vehicles back in 2010. I got tired of the dealer pricing and service bullshit.Since then, I and my extended family have bought 9 Hyundai and Kia's, of which 3 were vans. All the vehicles are still in service except one got totaled and another got sold off because of going overseas. Not one of these vehicles has ever had a mechanical problem, and 4 now have between 100K and 200k miles on them. They come with a 5yr 60k mile bumper to bumper and 100k drive train warranty. A new Kia telluride and Hyundai palisade base price here in the USA is 36,100 dollars comes with 3.8 v6, 8 speed Trans, tows 5k, comes standard with all the stop and go cruise, blind spot, lane change stuff standard. That matches up pretty close to your Durango, so unless you need to tow 6k, I'd give them a look. I've talked to the service department where I have my car serviced before because of statements about engine problems reported on the internet. I was told the problem with these vehicles is they are cheap to buy and the people that buy them are cheap and don't keep them serviced. They say kias and hyundai's don't like extended oil changes, just change the oil at 5 to 6k miles, and you'll never have a problem.
Yeah thanks for that. We were looking at buying one of the Kia's thanks for all the info!
@@oldgunownernever buying a american car again. my 2017 sierra 1500 transmision failed 2k past waranty. gmc said to bad so sad.
(20/4/10 Rule) = It advises putting down a minimum of 20% as a down payment, financing the vehicle for no more than four years, and keeping your monthly loan payment within 10% of your monthly income. So if you make $60,000/yr, your monthly income = $5,000, so your monthly car payment must be no more than $500, and with rates at 7%, that would mean that you are financing a $10,000 loan (80%), so your vehicle can cost no more than $12,500 (100%).
Thanks for sharing
The biggest problem is Ford announced the Mavrick as a 20k truck, yes that was the Front wheel drive Basic XL trim. The interior was said to be lack luster and a sea of plastic in reviews, but that was something you could accept at that price point. Problem is it's the same craptastic interior in the XLT and even the Lariat aside form the seats and upgraded sound system it's the same dash just a better color of plastic. The issue is even the XL base is 26K+ the XLT is in the 30k+ and the Lariat is 40K+. I really thought the 2.0 Turbo was going to be the same as the Focus ST but on start up it sounds cheap and tinny and that is not like the Focus ST because I had one. I looked at the XLT and it was 34K and I declined to even test drive it after I started it up It isn't even close to the Santa Cruz. I can't even believe I can say that and I'm willing to spend Lariat money on a Hyundi Santa Cruz because it's that much nicer of a Vehicle.
I've looked at the Santa Cruz and Maverick. With the DCT issues Hyundai is having with their Santa Cruz's put me off on that. They should have done a standard transmission for that vehicle. And the Maverick, it has a better ride quality over the Santa Cruz however the plastic's are a turn off for the price. Might be worth a buy on the used market but I can't see buying one new at todays prices. I've ended up not going for either truck. I can find 2015 - 2016 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x's for half the price of a Maverick with low miles (sub 50k miles) so will probably go this route. But I am glad both Hyundai and Ford are trying to bring back the small truck market. Maybe other makes will give them some competition.
The Maverick is being built-in Mexico Quantity control sucks all about cheap labor. Waiting for Toyota stout. But my 2011 Ranger is a great truck new Rangers are too $ and have problems
American UAW built vehicles have poor quality. Toyota builds vehicles in Mexico so that blows your Toyota quality argument out of the water if you say Mexico built cars are bad.
The Santa Cruz is one of the ugliest vehicles made. It costs more than a Maverick. And the Maverick 2.0 isn't the ST version but you sound too ignorant to know that.
Maverick is supposed to have base price of 22 thousand, but you can't find a base model. The dealerships near me sell them pretty quick but they are always about 30-35 thousand dollars. They are for the most part a SUV with a truck bed which is a good thing for most people. I thought about getting a Maverick but have decided to wait till some other brands come out with one. 30 thousand is too much for me and my 07 Silverado crew cab is in great shape and runs great. I will keep my Silverado but just thought of the convenience of having a smaller truck for light loads and pulling my 5-10 trailer.
I bought a Subaru Baja. It does the same thing as the Maverick for $2000, plus it needs brakes and a good cleaning. I will be going down the road for about $2500 doing anything that the Maverick will.
I have also been looking at used trucks, I'm not in a hurry to find something and one day I will find the right fit for me. Thanks for the feedback.@@daniellaws2307
I'm happy to say...'Not me'.
And….no thanks
EV pick-up stagnant sales are really a function of consumer aversion to price to buy and then own. The range issues are not a big problem for most consumers as the average daily driving distance for pick-ups is just 50 miles.
$193,000.00 and sitting in the freaking snow…WTF!
Haha it’s absolutely bananas
Western countries are no longer wealthy, what you are experiencing is reducing spending power. You used to be able to get a RAM, Silverado, or F-150 but now all you can get is a Maverick. It's just a decline in living standards.
You are right. We are all feeling this
I used to think the $6000 I paid for my 1988 F250 was too much. After a $10,000 paint job, and a $3500 Gearvendors OD unit...I wouldn't trade it for that Shelby.
Haha that is o e seriously pricey truck
Nice
Don’t forget to add the f in folding mirrors 😂😂😂😂
So glad I bought my 2015 F-150 XLT when I did. Got the 302b option package ($5000 extra) $38,000 …with tax & financing $41,000
Great truck.
Nice
Love the dealer name blurring yet leaving their used lot name clear as day🤣🤣🤣
Here watching Mark. 👍
Those 200k trucks aren't selling. The 100k aren't either... Ford is struggling to sell their f150's!!
My company just purchased 8 brand new 2024 Ford F-150 xlt work trucks. Also bought two f350 platinums and one guy really wanted a gmc so we got him the 3500. Ford isn’t worried about people not buying their trucks. Plenty of us buy them, just not for personal use.
These prices are so far out of my ability to afford,I just don’t understand how these companies think they can charge these prices,and still sell a product!!! Even a Maverick at $44,000,I can’t even think about affording something like this!!! They are nuts!!!🤔🤯😡💩
I agree Ken. It’s simply
It worth going into hock this far for this poor a quality road warrior
I have a ‘97 Chevy 1500 WT, and it has A/C and a stereo, and for something that I use part time it’s plenty.
I looked into buying a new Maverick and replace both the truck and another vehicle. But it was hard to find one, now if I can find one they optioned it out and jacked the price up.
If in a couple of years nobody makes a reasonably priced truck, I will put money into restoring the one that I have.
And that price just jumped by 23% with the new carbon tax to build. You can thank Justin Turdo for that.
My house cost less than the Mavrick 25 years ago. A 200k truck is a joke, might as well just start burning 100$ bills to stay warm.
How did we get here?
Car price changes all the time, it is the consumer fault for allowing themselves to pay way over MSRP unwilling to take sacrifice such as buying cheap used cars to take mass transit and wait for the price to re-adjust. When supplies are constraint, price goes up, it is not a rocket science.
True but there are many who cannot seem to wait and end of overpaying
Id never pay more than 15k for a truck. Not when they loose 50% of its value in the first year.
Yes it’s a hard pill to swallow
I remember back in 1984 I bought a standard ford 150 for 10,000 dollars
Wow now that’s a deal
You do realize that was 40 years ago? It takes $30K now to have the same money value due to inflation. Now add government mandated walls of airbags, backup cameras, sensors in every wheel for pressure, cell phone interfaces consumers demands, etc and your are at $50K. The safety nazis have not helped this.
I am not a Ford fan at all but since I am in the market for a new truck I just happen to look around my local area. A fucking base model was $62k. You can go straight to hell on that one.
The maverick is. Based on the transit connect chassis. They killed that to get enough production to produce that little pickup. The Van was the more functional vehicle at that size it could easily take a full sheet of ply. And be reconfigured for 7 people.
Just priced an f250 lariat crew cab with a diesel. With tax is $117,000 Canadian.Who can afford that?
Not many people I know. And the few who can, far fewer just wi t because it’s not worth it
Over priced junk . Ford is going to go out of business, if they continue to sell to ask ridiculous prices and poor quality controls.
Way too many issues. Some people are still big supporters of the brand
$41,000 for the maverick that's top of the line. I bought the wife the XL for $28,500 that's all wheel drive. It's cheaper than almost any SUV or sedans
At the original cost but even these baby trucks are starting to creep up
We traded our 3 year old F150 for a 2022 Maverick. Big mistake. Miss my old truck.
Yes sorry to hear that John. I would always stick with the bigger truck. Thanks for sharing
The dealers mark ups have killed the industry they should close them down sell online or force them to sell at the market price people have had enough of being ripped off.
They need to make a WORK truck for the average American and tradesman. Leave all of that tech bullcrap out of it. Everyone these days has a smart phone anyway. AC, cruise, power windows, a bullet proof engine and durable rust proofing is all that's required.
Yes a basic work horse would be perfect for many
Thank you for pointing out the absurd. I have 3 vehicles, and the last payment I made on one of those vehicles, was over 7 years ago. To compare to this video, I inherited a 2001 Yukon SLT from my late father. It only has 81,000 miles on it. I remember being in the dealership the day that he bought it. Prices are way out of control today, and I am more than happy to keep the three vehicles that I currently have, as I do all of my own maintenance.
Prices havent gone up so much as they have made our money worth LESS! Why cant people understand that. Houses didnt go up 100%, your moneys real value went down.
That is totally true.
These manufacturers must be waiting for incomes to catch up which may not ever happen. Sucks to be them
Thats why i bought 100k suv.
I could use that Mavrick for $25K USD not 40K. 3,500 towing is my minimum requirement. Just don't add $15K worth of crap to it. 'nitrogen'....
Let the cheap truck wars begin!
people just realizing.. everyone was warned 4-5 years ago about e.v.'s
$44,000.00 for a Ford Maverick that is made in Mexico. 😂
Quality is not job1
200k for a Shelby truck.
Did you know that Ford Motor Company president Jim Farley is comedian Chris Farley’s cousin?
Really?
