FORD just released their earning and they beat, but their stock sold off. Investors know that Ford is going into some tough times and the headwinds might be too much for them to overcome, In this video I talk about their struggles and even show you what kind of prices they are trying to get for their new trucks. I also talk about problems with their EVs.

Front page of YT. I am sure communism is paying you enough to buy a couple new trucks. Enjoy them while you can. Eventually, they will be as good as repossessed.
Love your videos...I have a question... I have a friend abroad that works with used cars and I would like to give him a gift from the US. Any suggestions for a nice, price friendly paint thickness gadget?
I wonder if the OEM numbers will look good until the next election then drop like a rock or the whole economy for that matter. If Trump wins then he can be blamed. If Biden wins, he wont care because he will be a lame duck. Hell he may not even comprehend it if the economy tanks.
Check number of employees per Ford manufacturing location over the past 10 years. More robots, less union members.
I like your video man. I drive a truck a hall parts for Kia. 7 days a week. I had clean 1998 jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It had a inline 6 2 wheel drive. Right after I got it Change the tire size. I when from the 235.15.75 and put on 215.15.70 and when from 19+ miles to a Gallon to 21+ just bye changing the tire size. After that I cut 3 1 1/2 holes in the side of the air box's and was getting 25 miles to gallon on the highway but some one Stole it about 2 years ago.😕
Rural America here, average 44k household income and these trucks are double that...don't think that's gonna end well.
Prices are just retarded. So over it.
k in 1970 I bought my first F100 at 2650.00. I made less than 3k, the truck was more than a yearly wage. They are actually cheaper now compared to wages.
@@51AB you're so full of crap your eyes are brown
@@51AB
What the hell are you talking about? If truck pricing only kept up with inflation than that same 1970 F100 would only be about $24,000 today. That’s a far cry from the 60-80k trucks we have now.
@@jakecivis7402 Concentrate, you'll get it. It makes perfect sense. In 1970 my truck cost more than a year's wages. My last truck in 2014 cost 44,000.00. I made 85,000.00. So the truck was about one half my yearly wage. Actually cheaper by 50% from 1970.
I used to think 55k was a lot for full-sized truck, but 70k+ is insanity. Once you go past $60k it should at least be a 2500 and diesel.
40k is too much for a truck, only cars that should be over 50k are luxury vehicles
If you think 70k is insanity look up the the new ford f450 platinum, they are at 140 to 150k.
That's the problem with people's thinking. If I'm going to spend X amount, I might as well get this bigger, less efficient, more expensive to maintain, harder to drive truck. No, just get what's right for you and move on. Go get a diesel.and pay double for maintenance, 30% more for fuel, and triple for repairs.
Diesel motors will be very limited in use in the future. Buying one that isn't an absolute need like a farm truck or work truck would be a stupid investment
@@matthewhancock4889 you are on drugs just priced out a limited its 105,000. 450 diesel.
I am glad you’re showing these trucks and their high prices. This is not doom and gloom from the consumer side. These prices are ridiculous. From all car dealerships.
This is not a one size fits all statement, but here goes. If someone has a gently used vehicle(or two) that is paid for, runs well, fits their transportation needs...why the Hell(O) would they even think about a $1500/month vehicle payment for something "New and shiny"? I run 90% of my personal, around a small town, errands on a touring Can Am Spyder. It costs me about $7.00/week in premium gasoline. My older Chevy Avalanche is devoid of payments and is used as needed. Couple that with my wife's Prius that is also paid for...
Why in the name of anything fiscally sane would we finance a $1,500/month payment...NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!
Everything has went through the roof. Here’s one I learned a long time ago. You don’t need a new vehicle every year. It actually feels good to be without a car payment.
They played this whole shortage thing out, so long that people are done playing their games.
I've personally never had a car payment. Why? because I retain my vehicles for 20 years therefore and with the interest & insurance savings I can easily pay cash. however NOT when a pickup that's NOT an F350 diesel is over 70k. That's nuts I'm not paying those kindsa bucks for any gasser. EV is atta the question those things are a complete disaster unless you're in urbia charging at home. People out in burbs will never go for those things and especially in hot/cold climates OR if you actually gotta yank something around.
So glad I don't have a payments on my 2014 Toyota sienna van, but my next vehicle will be a truck.
We were planning on buying a new car around the beginning of covid. Instead our savings is just going up. My car still runs. 😁
20 yr old toyota camry with 80k $5,000😊 drives and looks good 👍. Can't imagine shelling out 70,000 for a truck . 😮
Until all manufacturers reduce the cost of new vehicles by atleast 30% they will continue to sit unsold.
This is all being done on purpose. Soon the manufacturers will drop down to selling at msrp... which is exactly what they wanted all along.
Think about that... people will be lining up to pay msrp when just a few years ago the saying was "msrp is for s uckers."
Once people start buying at msrp... the car companies will be exactly where they want to be.
only way to do that is to get rid of union workers and offer lower cost vehicles in general
I wouldn’t buy one unless they reduced them in half
@@nightwingaven696 years ago a base f150 was $29k in Canada. Now $45k. That’s not a union problem. They also had 6 vehicles that started under $30k , 6 years ago. Now their cheapest is $42k plus 7% financing
@roguesovereignrogue9124 you will die driving beat down vehicles or driving the bus lmao😂
When I first got in the car business in 2003 at age 18 at a Ford dealership one of my first clients was looking at F150s but once he saw the price of 27,500 +- for a loaded truck and said "woah!", He started walking away from me immediately, I kind of chased him down bc I was new and the manager would fire me if I didn't lol. He said "son I always buy a new truck but haven't bought one in a decade and this is sticker shock to me, no offense but I'm leaving".
Nothing I could really do except explain the financing terms made it affordable but he didn't care. And I didn't think the prices were all that bad(just didn't know)
Now I understand how that man felt, we've been robbed blind by politicians, the military industrial complex, the federal reserve all inflating our hard earned dollars to nothing. I pray for a turn around
Thinking from experience. Good. But in a nutshell, our government of communism is to blame. They gave our free enterprise to communism in china starting in 1978. McCarthy was right.
It's literally the government enabled by the federal reserve. They knowingly run massive deficits while keeping interest rates low. Literally the best recipe for massive inflation. Only winners are ones that own significant assets and that's really only the top 10% or so. People have been absolutely hosed.
Reality will hit when the U.S dollar tanks and suddenly knowing it's been a smoke and mirrors deception.
You keep praying buddy 😆
“The financing terms make it affordable” 😂
No. They do not.
With those prices I could buy 1/2 an acre of land and get a 3 bedroom house build on it.
Hmmm... I'm old but the only new truck I ever bought was a 2006 Dodge with the Cummins and I paid $32,500 back in 2006. I'm still driving that thing and can't imagine paying $50,000+ for a half ton pickup.
Edit: Oh ya, nitrogen wasn't a thing back then. 😅
In the past 3 years, all auto manufacturers have raised MSRP's at least $20,000. Supply chain issues are over, so these prices are just greed at this point; which they admit. Until I start seeing $20,000 discounts, I'll keep my money.
Blame the EPA. They tripled the cost of a car/truck. Nothing on Earth is more greedy than the communism that ill educated us.
Buy a good Toyota, do the maintenance and it will last you hundreds of thousands of miles. Hell, it might live longer than you.
Working in manufacturing I can promise you supply chain issues are far from over. Far far from over
@@eriknorman7409 Nice. Just bought a 2004 Sequoia with 217K on it and expect at least 500k with proper maintenance. Tacomas are awesome, great for off roading too!
Screw these auto makers and the lefty government that is forcing us all to eat billions in losses for their little pet projects.
@@kylecasetta4091supply chain issues are doing great things for the profits of all these companies. Prices can stay artificially inflated until they reach the breaking point by next year. Interest is up and the stock market keeps climbing. Corps are not worth what they say they are and the correction is coming. Supply chains will slow and catch up.
Recession inbound.
The manufacturers raised MSRP to hide the dealership gouging. Let's see an actual dealer cost compared to MSRP.
and...
who DOESN’t love dealership gouging? CB
They did! When this generation of F-150 came out, the first year you could get a mid level Lariat 4x4 for just under $60k.
$71k now? Pffft
I worked 4 Jax port bk in 2010..there platinum, king ranch, limited, were 25-27k every other truck was 17-20k ..they were going to Puerto Rico, don't know if that is why the prices were that, all brand new, I was working 4 Ford
Also to cover their EV losses which are over 5 billion now. Or 60K per EV sold. Ford/GM's decision to moving into the EV space may be the worst decision they ever made.
@@HiPlains1 definitely!
in 08 I bought a prius because I did over the road sales and fuel was killing me. Still run that car and my 3rd kid is using it as well and it still runs like a champ. Now Wisconsin winters have rusted it out bad but will run it as long as I can.
I’d like to see what dealers pay compared to MSRP. I’ve heard that Ford and others were going raise the sticker price so that dealers wouldn’t catch hell for their additional price increases.
I’m with many other commenters, I can’t imagine paying more than $50K for a nicely equipped pickup truck! Nope, not worth it!
It doesn’t matter what they do. Most people can’t afford $80-$100,000 vehicles. Even if you sell them at MSRP or with a discount you’re still going to pay that much.
They can afford it when they can finance it for 8-10 years. All you're going to see is extended credit terms and people still buying. That's why prices never go down.
@@Conservative_carnivorehaha 20 year term loan
Overpriced shit
$6,000 off! It should be $20,000.
No $13550
$26,000$ off😎😄😁
Free. CB
It should be 75% off
They'll let the workers strike for as long as they want. They are fully stocked and there will be plenty of market adjustments with the take it or leave it approach😊
Bad bad timing with contract 😢
@@bearmcquade2846
Sadly... You would almost think they planned ahead. My dad's old company did just that here in Canada. They had enough surplus to ride the wave but the workers were really feeling the bull's horns. They ended up closing down the Canadian location and moved everything to Chicago. Ford has a top knotch factory in Oakville Ontario Canada. Hopefully they don't screw those workers. Supposedly it's one of their best locations.
election year coming up
True. With that many cars on the lot, the union would be doing them a favor getting off the payroll for a few months,
I'll wait and buy one as a used truck . There is just no damn way that I will pay even close to their MSRP on the new trucks.
$70k for a half ton truck even if it was a platinum is insane.
Their cash cow is the electronics inside
Yeah. Makes 0 sense. Houses are like 500k, and your telling me the blue collard American can afford a 100k truck on top of that mortgage? These companies lost in fantasy land.
Hope all the dealers gouging take it in the end they deserve what they are doing! Keep up not buying vehicles the consumer will win!
@@steves2241 so did you order a xlt or lariat in 1987. two differant trim levels.
@@steves2241it’s actually closer to $40k which would make sense
Maybe I'm old, but when someone says Maverick, images of a small 2 door car come to mind, not a truck. Same with the Mustang, a 2 door hot rod, not an electric SUV.
VT247
same here I think cheap junk car my buddy had one total junk
When I hear Maverick, I think of Tom cruise's top gun. And when I hear mustang, I hear the song mustang Sally.
the electric car should just be called the mach e. there's nothing remotely mustang about that car. maverick isnt as bad, since its still fundamentally a car, just with the wrong body style
They should have brought back a retro version of the maverick, people would have bought those
I purchased a Red 2023 Mazda CX5 preferred trim in Ohio, July 25th wasn't any markups on vehicle, brought it on msrp. Luv it. ☺
I saved up $50,000 to buy a new vehicle, but once I had that pile of cash in the bank I couldn't bring myself to spend it. My old 4Runner has a few dents but is still running great. So I took the money and put it in a 12-month CD at 5.3% and now that $50K is earning more than $220 per month in interest.
You came here just to say that bs…😅.
You want some kind of trophy, medal or a Pat on the head or someone telling good job?
Spend the money…you can’t take it with you when you’re gone.
I got rid of my 2018 F-150 ( msrp $33,000) and bought a 2008 honda accord...never been happier.
What do these dealers expect? We're coming off a 9% inflation economy, Credit card debt is rising and wages are stagnant. And they expect to sell a F-150 for 90k
Geee, it is like our economy is being collapsed on purpose. 5 point red stars for everybody.
I live near a Ford dealership here in Alexandria, Va. I took my truck in for servicing this morning and walked the lot before the sales department opened. They have about 15 New Mach-E's, but not a large inventory of new trucks on this lot but I know where their hidden overflow lot is. They are dressing up their used inventory and setting the used vehicles on the showroom floor so they can flash lower prices, but when you look at them, they are preowned 2021's "as is- no warranty"
Yep
Shout out to that dealership for not charging add ons
Just took my escape in for service. A f150 lighting was $98k. Nobody is willing to buy at these insane prices
and...
who DOESN’t love insane vehicle prices? CB
There's 80,000 other things that I'd rather spend $80,000 on then 1 damn truck
You can buy a very nice Porscher or used Ferrari which will get the girls far more moist than a F-150 unless that's all they can get their fat ass in to.
Sounds like your local Dollar Store is doing great.
@@tabs9213 wouldn't know. I buy shit in bulk
80,000 Snow-Globes from the Dollar Store
Give me $80K and I can find 5-8 used pick-ups in running shape.
50K for a base model F-150 is just crazy to think about
I think i'll keep my 2004 Ford Expedition with 22212 miles. I just might put a new 5.4 liter motor in. it's 4 wheel drive and the interior is in great condition . ( 3 bench seat) as well as the body. I like Fords but I'm not willing to shell out the big bucks, I'd rather buy land.
A dealership with no shenanigans? Wonders never cease! People are tired of paying extra for air in the tires.
The EPA tripled the cost of a car/truck. You can fill your tires by the windbags we call education today.
They CAN'T with a parking lot chuck full of trucks.
@@freddyrosenberg9288 the
motherTRUCKers! CB
Those Mavs could be sold easy for the reasonable price. Those on the lot are spoken for. Otherwise the dealerships will Jack up the prices.
Its amazing what decisions greed causes you to make. They will run the company just as they are to extract as much profit as possible until the company fails.
Mavericks should be as low as $15k and cap at 25k. Those trucks aren’t worth what they are asking. F150 lariat’s shouldn’t be anywhere near $70k probably $45-50k
@@BrianWaller-qe7gr That would be selling for well below manufacturing cost.
@@BrianWaller-qe7grAgree.
STEALERSHIPS and MARK-UPs suck
Thanks for this video. I am glad to see that you can get an extended cab F 150. It makes for a shorter truck, still plenty of cab room, and not too long with a 6 foot bed. I deduce from the video that I will get a good deal at the upcoming Ford going out of business sale.
Your Daewoo getting hard to find parts for? Lol.
Autos that were reasonably priced went away when they started their own in house financing side. Then became the zero percent financing of approved by their own finance side and then the price of vehicles shot up. And it’s never gone down since then.
mid-level truck should not cost more than 50k. 70k is ridiculous
Agree, truck prices have become the new luxury vehicle and has the prices to match.
Mid lev should be out the door for under 50.
Companies who buy in bulk won’t even budge at that price
Here in Canada is close to 100,000
The Manufacturing Plants are Paid For. YES labor and materials are up 20%+
That doesn't mean prices up 50%+
Screw Ford!
The fleet truck is the one I want. Basic and simple.
Isn’t it funny that 40 thousand SEEMS
like a good deal? CB
I think majority of average people want the fleet model
And cheap
never buy used fleet cars, or especially trucks. they get abused worse than a rented mule, no maintenance. if you can find something similar but new, go for it.
Here in Columbia, Missouri, Joe Machens Ford is half full and selling over 100 trucks per month.
Do they also realize that people do not want a high interest loan either?? Most people don’t want a $800+ monthly payment…
Yellow (YRC) a hundred year old trucking company just folded due to mismanagement and a union that the company could not support. This is what waits for other large American companies and even the US federal government itself. Why? Because the credit rating of the US government just got downgraded...
I’m 100% convinced any one of us followers could lead Ford to a better future.
I'm not. And you have no idea what it takes to manufacture an automobile and manage an auto company. But, keep up your delusions, I'm sure you think you know all about it.
Nah, UAW and car dealers are in the way.
@@mikedsjrWhy? UAW didnt push members to retrain when they saw EVs coming.. instead they tried to maintain the status quo and drag their feet… and dealerships? sociopaths need jobs too? the lack of vertical integration and contracts making them beholden to suppliers … they cant do it…
Ford's CEO seems to be doing a good job of changing the company but the problem is that Ford, and other legacy companies, waited too long to get serious about EVs. All of them were warned over and over that there was going to be a move away from internal combustion engines but they did not take those warnings seriously and didn't develop high quality EVs that people want to buy.
I don't know that pretty much any legacy car manufacturer is going to survive unless their governments bail them out. They don't have good EVs that they can sell at competitive prices and while they've depended on ICEV profits to get them through the changeover they're starting to see demand for ICEVs collapse.
It's happening slower in the US but rapidly in Asia and Europe. Right now GM and Ford have largely lost any sales into Asia and Europe.
@@bobwallace9753 Farley said all the suppliers control the modules.. 150 of em… so each company writes their own software but none of them talk to each other… a nightmare for a software driven experience
Back in 2012, I bought a well-equipped F150 XLT for $35k ($7000 below msrp). And I thought that was a lot.
I tried to buy a Ford Maverick in October / November of 2022. I wanted a fully loaded model. I was quoted $48,333 before taxes and other expenses. So we drove around on Sunday’s looking at full sized 1500 models. $70,000 plus. I bought a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse LT out the door 44,908. And a much nicer & bigger vehicle plus 5,000 lbs towing capacity. I get 26 to 28.5 mph on the Hwy depending on driving conditions. So happy I didn’t buy the Ford Maverick. Ford Dealers make my skin crawl.
We tried to buy used, well it took a quick turn around to buying new. This it the first new vehicle we bought since October 1988. Been buying 1 year old vehicles with less than 12,000 miles. Today that’s a fantasy.
My wife wanted a Mach E and I wanted a Lightning. It was the Ford dealerships who refused to sell to us at the original agreed to price, at above MSRP. My wife ended up with a Tesla and I am waiting to buy something else. Share holders should vote to get rid of dealerships
Ford went back on all of their agreed prices I hear. I ordered a Bronco that went up by 20k once it was delivered!
When a "cheap" truck is 60K, you are screwed. I bought a 2008 Silverado that listed at 37K, I used the 8K rebate plus change at a 1.99% interest rate and it still cost me 600/mo and that's not including insurance. We make good money but who can afford this stuff at 60K+? Silly prices.
Thank you for taking the time to help us understand prices and where they are available !!!
This isn’t only limited to Ford. The tide is changing. I’m having dealers calling me multiple times a day now, and are sounding more and more desperatex
100% it's actually annoying AF especially because they still don't want to give a discount
They would have to knock off a lot more than 6000 for me to buy a new truck may be about 30,000
Right? 6k off a 70k truck lmfao 🤣
35k tops no more money than that
They need to be at least 50% off
I was complaining when trucks went over $50K as normal.
I’d love to get a H.O. King Ranch 6.7 someday… but maybe if they weren’t 80K-100k
Pisses me off because i have been waiting for a hybrid maverick for 1 1/2 years..... Plus they raised the price and made me reorder it since they never fulfilled my 1st order and i did it day 1 of when the ordering banks opened. I'm convinced they're barely building the hybrids, and trying to get people to buy the standard version which to me doesn't make any sense because I could just get a used taco or ranger at that point.
I love it. Messed around and found out that consumers ultimately have the power.
that's right people stop paying their bills they'll change it
was at Lowes this morning
plywood is back at normal pricing, half (or less) now than during the supply chain BS
Ford GM etc need to adjust back asap
I remember when work trucks single cab were as low as 24k in 2007
I do not want a EV. And they need to drop the price down to like 35 to 40 % 😊
Laughing at people asking for 28,000 for a 2017 f150 with 185,000mi. They still have a payoff to make!
Meanwhile here in Texas, dealerships rarely have any kind of inventory of trucks on site because they actually sell.
Just downgraded the nations credit rating. Which smashed the Market on the 2nd. There will be a recession at the end of this year or first quarter of 24. And I think its going to hurt the auto market badly. Moving forward from now.
i think the most expensive truck with the best trim should only cost 50k period. i would love to know what the ford cost per vehicle is to produce. the margins are so massive and the sad part is every manufacturer is in collusion because they all have around the same MSRP for every truck
Well our gooberment is in collusion with them! And our money
I agree, unrealistic at this point but I agree.
It’s market driven pricing. Always has been. If they are not moving inventory you can negotiate down. Straight from manufacturer would be good in some ways but way worse in others
All Manufacturers are owned by the same company black rock and vanguard
@@FulghumCraft pretty legit statement actually
The prices are just greed at this point. And nobody is taking the bait anymore. And now these businesses are paying their employees MORE for money that isn’t really there.
This is also another example of why you don’t chase trends like EV. If it’s here to stay, there shouldn’t be any sort of rush to get into that space.
Government regulators are pushing them into it, otherwise they'd be dragging their feet far more effectively. They'd still bleed out over time as Tesla and China produce increasingly better and cheaper EVs, but at least they wouldn't be eating themselves with EV research and development costs for vehicles they don't really want to make or sell.
Perfectly stated AND worded. CB
EVs are not really having trouble selling. But FORD is having trouble selling because they make a crud EV that no one wants. The issue with ford is how hard they jumped into the space before proving each product slowly in a stable manner.
EV s are definitely here to stay.
@anotheruser5654 Hybrid is 100% a better bridge gap solution, especially in nations that have dinosaur infrastructure like the US. But 100% the future is electric and you would be dumb to think otherwise. Its like arguing steam and coal was better as gasoline was up and coming. Coal was everywhere not everyone had gasoline. Eventually coal became extinct.
They are gonna be hurting even more when Toyota releases the 2024 Land Cruiser which is supposed to be priced in the Mid $50s. They said it hasn't been that low priced since 2003. They have been batting around the idea of a stripped-down truck with all of the assistive bling bling. Worker bees have been asking for that for a very long time. They will own that market if they do.
The price on those trucks are insane, they need to come down for me to buy one
what people need to do is not pay their bills and maybe they would lower the prices Including houses
Cars are way too expensive now lol I remember seeing commercials new cars was 29k new trucks was around 50k even range rovers was like 70k. Prices now are insane 😂

Thank you for showing fleet vehicle prices. Hard to believe 40k for basic 2wd regular cab xl truck. Wow!
Yes, once fleet sales dry up, we will likely see more rebates incentives! Great Video guys
Yes! Thank you!
Doubt it, they'll take the huge loss before they give customers discounts

Ford's new strategy to reduce warranty claims, keep them on the lot and off the road.
It isn’t just ford trucks, Chevy and dodge has lots full also
😂😂😂😂 that was a good one.
OMG lol...
And make a "gay" pickup which didn't help.
Thought: In a sudden turn of events all of the trucks he showed have already been sold since they are fleet vehicles and there's a shortage of vehicles because the dealerships are overwhelmed with fulfilling the orders of ever personal order and fleet order therefore they aren't preordering or parking used cars on lots at all.
I work at a Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership, we’ve never had our cars/trucks priced over MSRP.
Ford's stacking inventory BECAUSE of their impending contract issues. Seeing huge stockpiles of 150s. GM is in the same boat, but Barra is still restricting inventory. RAM may come out on top with both inventory AND lower prices/higher incentives.
Or maybe, we are seeing the beginning of a communistic economic collapse that will make 1929 look like an accounting glitch? Just wait to see all the dictatorship rules during the next "emergency".
Funny because they are making all the cheap trucks for fleet and not individuals, imagine if they made them for regular people. Sales would skyrocket. Now they need to get back to small cars again, especially with 4 dollar a gallon gas prices again. We want to see Fiesta/Focus/Taurus cars for sale.
I wonder how much a fleet of horses cost? I am pretty sure the stock will go up. You ready for this?
@eriknorman7409 honestly a basic 3 cylinder car is what people would really want for a daily driver.
For every fleet truck sold, there will be a used fleet truck on the market. Hopefully that will help the used market go down a little with the flood of used coming online.
I don't know why one of the companies doesn't hire this guy. Genius.
Those CEOs live in an alternate dimension, the majority of working people are
struggling to make ends meet, others live check to check; then how they going
to buy a car, a new car costing up to 50 thousands $$$ or more than 100 thousands$$$. Those CEOs better come out to the real world.
Insanity. Who can afford these prices?!!
NOBODY! But you have people who think they can!
People willing to finance for 8 years lol
I ordered a new F250 in Jan 10, 2022. I FINALLY got my truck Aug 10, 2022.
I pre-negotiated the price before I ordered, YET, when it came in the dealer told me I owed an addition 6500 dollars because of the extra miles and wear and tear on my trade in.
I told him, his in-ability to build the truck wasn't my fault and I wasn't paying it.
I literally walked out. They called me back and told me that they were going to keep my 500, my lawyer called them and informed them THEY changed the deal, not me and I would be coming in to get my 500 dollars.
When I showed up to get my 500, I was met with a ford lawyer who informed I wouldn't be getting my 500 back.
It was at this time my lawyer (who came along for a free lunch) handed him the lawsuit I was filing if I didn't either get my 500 back or the truck at the original deal.
The truck is now parked in my driveway and I will NEVER buy another ford as long as I live and I have been buying fords since I turned 14 in 1978.
Here in Iowa there still isn't much variety in inventory. There might be 70 or so F150's on our larger Ford Dealer lot's in Des Moines but they are 18 XL, 37 XLT, 5 Lariat, 1 King Ranch, 1 Platinum, 2 Limited, 2 raptor, 3 tremor. I can't find a Lariat with the 5.0 Coyote anywhere (which is where I think the sweet spot is for trim levels and the best engine).
Well if you go to Chicago they will not put any cars on their lots because they don't want to pay the cost to keep them on the lot. When you show up they'll tell you they can't keep them on the lot. It's a mess and they better bring these prices way down if they want to sell some stuff
reason why honda and toyota don't go all electric they don't want to go bankrupt now
nope. toyota has said a ton of times its because of production capacity. they already cant keep up, and if they went electric they'd only be able to make 1/10th of the cars they do now with the same or worse margins.
Do car makers really think the average American can afford $45,000-$100,000 vehicles? They finally started offering affordable vehicles like the Maverick and dealers jacked up prices 10-15K. Not just a Ford thing, this is industry wide.
Was in a lot few months ago talking to the dealer and told him that they have finally out priced me for there trucks. I’m 61 years old have been working full time since I was 17. Though I would be able to afford a nice new vehicle at this point in my life but actually I can’t even begin to by these vehicles.
They can all sit on the lots until they drop 20K, and there are a lot of consumers like me!
Time to raise horses son.
I won't be surprised if the industry move away from yearly releases before dropping prices. Tesla kind of does that now
You mean like how Telsa has lowered their prices 3 times this year already?
@@patton3338 correct. Tesla has a great model, they are not forced to build new cars at high volume. If dealers were to stop the model year tradition they would be able to allow the cars to sit for longer with no rush to sell them.
Car prices up $15,000
My salary up -$15,000
I remember buying CLIFF bars at sam's club for $18... I would $26 yesterday. Ain't that a bitch, 40% increase in expenses 😂😂😂😂
I think I'd rather walk to work for 3 hours with these prices
@@0-60STYLE unfortunately I got rid of my car all together. It got to the point where having it was more of a burden than not and with these new prices I’d rather take public transportation or ride share as needed.
@@johnthomas3708 well they're doing a very good job making sure the young generation are so turned off by how expensive being a car guy is that they'll all just gravitate towards shared transportation...
Thus effectively killing the car market with greed.
My almost 86 yr old father, involved in family farm his entire life, says the costs of trucks is due to tax breaks.
Farmers have no problem paying whatever, and writing them off as farm expenses. So, the average guy can’t afford one. He says the write-offs are so good, farmers get a new fully loaded up 4wd one every 3-4 yrs, and amortize it off farm expense.
I live in St. Thomas, Ontario where they make F150 frames at a factory. Every single day there is a huge train that goes through town with thousands of frames on it.
Stimulus days are over and it looks like they're too late to understand that
A new Tundra costs less and will last forever. It's not complicated.
Except you'll wait months for one and likely pay some dealer mark-up
Used to be true, wont last as long being a twin turbo now.
Rory-Not Gail: Bought one via INet - a new '22 F150 Crew XLT 4x4 - last week for $11,800 off MSRP. Undoubtedly, the prices will drop even more by the end of the year...but I needed a new truck. I searched out to 1,000 miles for three months, waited, made a bunch of dealer contacts, and waited some more until I found exactly what I was looking for, at the price I was willing to pay.
I live right next to a bnsf train lot here in Arizona where they unload train cars of all sorts of vehicles. It is packed full of trucks.
$58k for a base level truck 😂
I'm selling my house to buy a base model F150
55000 for a 3/4 ton.
The base level truck is $35k.
@eriknorman7409 whoa! That's crazy
@@eriknorman7409 Bought my Camry for $28,000 last summer and I thought that was a rip off.
I bought a new F150 this past weekend for 11,500 below msrp.. FMC is offering 3.9%
Yeah I got mine at 3.5% with 10k off. Ford will no problem moving them, F150s are amazing.
Trim and spec please?
I think you will find that you bought a lean, not a truck. My question is, will the economy be good enough for the duration of your lean for you to pay it off?
@@mkyhou1160 how much is your payment and how much did you pay?
@@roguesovereignrogue9124 I paid 75k CAD for a Lariat Sport SuperCrew 4x4 with Moonroof / v8. One of the conditions is I can’t sell it in the US for six months (not that I would, but might be a bit cheaper here). It’s amazing, huge improvement compared to my previous 2019. Lariat trim has everything now (even piping stitches on the leather, speed controlled power steering, intelligent cruise, etc).
I tried to buy a Maverick for over a month after I realized that an f150 xlt would come out to around 65k. It would have been my 6th ford. Had to jump ship and buy another brand.
Your Ford inventory videos are your best videos. Nothing highlights the state of the union as well as showing off the issues with America’s number one vehicle. I’m sure you’re aware that it reflects in your TH-cam views.
Yes no add ons… but no customers …. You can ask anything but it’s a joke , 76,000 for a basic truck. So much for the working man they are done for and hopefully the big 3 get it .
Got a stx 4 door 4x4 6.5 bed for $46ish. 2 months ago
I'm carpenter contractor for 45$/hour. Have a f250 99 LD. If my truck brake down completely I do not have money for new. Go work for companies.
The local Ford dealers in my area are adding $5000.00 to $10,000.00 to msrp on the superdutys. I guess they are not hurting as bad as the title suggest
Yeah same in the Chicago metro area and if there's fools willing to go eyeballs deep in debt, that's on them. We've been in search of a replacement 3/4 ton 4X4 8' bed for 3 years now and every brand is outta their fkn minds with pricing still so until they come back to reality, none of them is going to get a dime. The free money uncle sugar was handing out is long gone and the cost of living is crushing the middle class thanks to the kid sniffer.
Give it some time.
Maybe in the US. In Canada here, our local ford dealer has no less than 12-15 trucks every single week lined up sold. Ranging from 70- 115k dollar units.
They just got in about 25 units a week ago, 10 left.
Maybe people are scared and buying before the UAW strike. Crazy times
Dude there are no trucks in stock in California, the most sales in trucks. No platinums, no super duties.
Sounds like if you want a truck there you'll have to travel a little bit then
In our area, you can still buy a 4WD Ranger XL for under $40K, or a F-150 for $5K more. The $70-85K models have all the (mostly useless) stuff added. If my 1994 Ranger wears out, I'll be looking once again.
Just picked up a FX4 lariat with a bunch of add ons, all the bells and whistles for 46k. Was considering an F150, but the cheapest one I could find with 4WD was like 70k
Unfortunately… I need a new (to me) vehicle asap. I’ll buy used. I’m doing my due diligence homework to find a “deal”. Wish me luck, Vern.
Good Luck Vern. CB
Our local dealership is selling almost nothing. The prices are INSANE. I hope they all sit until the prices return to earth. I attempted to lease an xl f150 , with 4k down it was still 700 a month for a lease. Wild
If you drive by the factories in Detroit, there are rows and rows of inventory. They are stocking up for when the UAW goes on strike
