Glad you like them!

@@TFLtalk just watched an old video of yours, what is sport plus mode?

Did you guys ever check performance of Cummins after having reflashed for emmisions?

😂 not after Bidenomics

This is greed, nothing to do with politics. Presidents beget greed now?

I wish it was. When it's 18 bucks for a big mac meal new vehicles are going to cost extra too.

Not when youre own tyrannical government goes to war against natural elements and oil

To much for a retired person.

Those days are long gone. In 2020 I was looking for a new full size truck. Found a Chevy WT base model locally for $29k. You could still find higher trim vehicle with more options for around $56k. Now the same truck is $70.

Its the value of the dollar that has gone down 30%. Just wait its only the beginning. Poor leaders just doing what they can to help us americans.. what are the chances, such bad luck this is happening under their watch

I got 14 grand off a new 23 Silverado zr2 recently... I'd say 14g is huge... stop being a lil cry baby

😂then don't buy new 😂

70 grand for 1500 sst ram is outrageous! Honestly all of us should do are best together as Americans and let these vehicles rote. Greed is the new normal in this country.

@@atg1338 14 grand off? What was out the door price

Especially American brands. GM has lost their damn mind with that Colorado for 38K. May as well go get a Tacoma or a frontier. Frontier actually has some very high value on the used market.

Buy it new, you will enjoy it

The V6 Naturally aspirated 4Runners are still available as well. Both would do well.

Agreed. These vehicles change on a yearly basis. Definitely helps to see the landscape before making a choice.

So true. Just a few years ago, 34K was a full sized Chevy Truck

@@bawintermage8351my dads avalanche cost 40k back in 2003 what are you talking about?

Probably part of a package that includes all the towing cameras, trailer wiring, etc.

It’s inflation and supply and demand period

Auto makers settled in the fall for higher wages by factory production workers. Auto Workers got a raise. Where do you think that money comes from to increase their pay. It's still inflation.

It's a unibody truck on a car frame.

@@leechburglights an Escape

Blame your federal government government. When they keep printing billions upon trillions of new dollars, it drives up the price of everything...

We make over $100k and only have a few hundred bucks to spare per month.

The people who stopped using credit cards and paid off their loans and personal debt are the ones who can. There are more out there than you think. It can happen. I bought my Toyota 4Runner with cash in 2020 after negotiating the price to what I was willing to pay. Came out way ahead. Took me forever to get out of debt, but the sacrifice was so worth it.

But $42k for a used 2020 F150 Lariat 5.0 with 12,800 miles is an awesome deal compared to $73k for a 2024. The point of the video was new vs used. And clearly there are deals to be had. People are avoiding new at this time because of this.

$42k for a 4-year old used half ton is still way too much money though; that should be more like $30-35k

​@@leechburglightsbuying used is a massive risk. A lot of trucks were traded in because there are major issues and the owner got fed up and got rid of it. The dealer will dress it up good enough to make the sale buy if they couldn't fix it before, they haven't fixed it before rolling it onto the used lot.

@@hochhaul Or buying used can be done when taking the vehicle for a pre purchase inspection with a mechanic you trust. In the past 30 years, I've only purchased used vehicles. None of them were a massive risk because I was informed. When I picked up the F150 in December, I crawled all around and under the vehicle. I took a flash light with me. I looked at everything. Services were completed and everything was up-to-date. The deals are out there if you're patient and diligent.

Yes. He's opening a TFL location there. He sold his Santa Cruz and is driving TFL's old Ford Expedition there for the move.

Ya, like my 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser purchase three years ago with 125k miles and to date, water pump, radiator, timing chain cover oil leak, and right now the driver review mirror folding motor failed, price to fix $2,300. There is no such thing as a reliable used car. Is the cost of used ownership less probably but not by much. $3,000 in repairs annually or $5,000 $6,000 for a brand new warranties comfort and confidence.

@@SaltShackthat vehicle is 11 years old at the worst point in its life mileage wise. What did you expect when you bought it?

@@ghostface1818 Pretty much exactly what I got. But what’s your point? Where’s the sweet spot and who’s the manufacturer and what’s the model and at what mileage makes my statement unreasonable? I’m not complaining about my LC. I Love my LC so much in fact I have two, the 2013 and a 2021. BY the way all the repairs I mentioned began at just over 65,000 miles with the water pump and Radiator common flaws repaired long before I purchased it and the Timing chain cover leak was likely ongoing for quite some time and I negotiated the price knowing the cost of repair so none of the repairs except the mirror occurred over 100k and these are the repairs reported and or perform by the dealership. The gentleman’s statement may be reasonable if expounded upon. Buy reliable used cars between two and four years old with 25,000 miles or less and sell them every two or three years before they reach 75,000 miles. That’s a strategy that could play out on the roulette wheel of used car buying and save some serious cash but maybe not depending, after all we aren’t talking about Camry’s and Outback’s.

@@SaltShack Buying a used car has many factors. I live in the North East and the amount of salt used on roads absolutely destroys vehicles regardless of how the vehicle is maintained. Many other places in the US do not have to deal with that variable and used cars probably go longer with less issues. The big issue is that Americans are paying for vehicles they don’t actually need or can afford. How many truck buyers actually need a truck. Or how many people need a full size SUV when a sedan probably would work for them. The only people to blame for the cost of vehicles is the consumer and their buying habits.

Single cabs trucks are nice. Sadly, people want the space.

40k 😂

A guy that bought new trucks in the 80's scoffed at truck prices in the late 90's. Then again the same people whining about current trucks prices are the same that whined about interior quality 5 years ago, which put truck makers into overdrive, upgrading interiors and using that to justify raising prices several thousand dollars.

@@hochhaul 💯

10:04 also, wheels can be changed.

16:40 I don't mind them. However they are priced like they are the best of a pickup and a jeep when they are actually a compromise of both designs. also, I think there should have at least been an offering of a two door gladiator with a longer bed and less departure angle compromises.

29:47 I think that puts them at half of accord sales, which is a crazy number.

😂

Geez. Toyota tax hits hard, eh?

@@kenh8334 For a truck with high resale value, and peace of mind knowing my truck is gonna start and operate optimally with general maintenance for years…yes I’ll gladly pay more. It’s like harbor freight tools vs MAC, you pay more you get a better product.

Sorry to hear how you made out there on a 5-model year truck with 40k+ miles 😢 crazy out there!

@@kmorris9098 Resale value and reliability pal. Your Chevy, ford, ram won’t be worth a gum wrapper with mileage compared to a Toyota truck. 4k less than KBB and the cheapest 1794 tundra within 100 miles of my area. Try again.

@@braddenr.4778 hey buddy, that may be true, but no one can deny that the used car market prices is out of control.

Why???

Making that statement like that without a making your point is moot. Try elaborating.

Why would you think they are out of touch with reality. This is reality this is the world we live in EVERY THING is expensive if you want it you will pay more for it.

Yes, from Commilorado.

😂😂😂😂
