Hearted Youtube comments on Rev Nation (@revnation_auto) channel.

  1. I never thought the Pontiac Aztec could be out-uglied. I thought wrong.
    2500
  2. Expensive to buy, expensive to insure, poorly designed, and doesn't retain its value.
    1900
  3. Disgustingly over priced
    1800
  4. 50k for an SR5!?!?! GTFOH
    1200
  5. This is why I am still driving my 20 yr old Tacoma. Better off with a beater and keep it maintained.
    1100
  6. I'm a Toyota guy but let them ROT! crazy prices and mark ups. Dealers need to learn the hard way people!
    1000
  7. I experienced this first hand, I brought my Honda to an Illinois dealership for an oil change and tire rotation. Before taking my car I marked the front driver rim with a piece of tape. Well when I picked it up I noticed the tape was in the same location yet they charged me for the rotation. I brought it to the owners attention and he said ok, sorry, your next oil change is free? I told him since they didn’t rotate my tires how do I know the oil was even changed, he just looked down at the floor, how many people get scammed everyday??? It’s sad
    1000
  8. Too many recalls. Way overpriced. Add to that, greedy dealerships that aren't afraid to stick it to stupid people that go there to buy.
    990
  9. The shop charges $150 an hour and the mechanic gets $25. You work in a drafty shop with 100 degree heat while the boss sits in the A/C. You get to work on vehicles that are not designed to be repaired. There is no way in hell I would be a mechanic today
    955
  10. Remember when 60k cars were really nice Mercedes and not your average bronco
    844
  11. I think the “market” has adjusted. Time for $20k off the window sticker. Those bastards didn’t hesitate to add $20k to the window sticker during the last 3 years.
    659
  12. The bird put down a deposit on it.
    621
  13. Saw that 4Runner last night at that dealership……my jaw hit the floor. Don’t buy any cars from the dealership because they are obviously a bunch of greedy bastards. Let it rot!
    607
  14. I am 61 and have purchased 4 vehicles in my lifetime. Starting with a '69 Bronco when I graduated high school in 1981, a 1974 High boy, a 1997 F350 4x4 and 2003 Town car. I still own all 4 and drive them on a regular basis and they have served me well. Instead of buying anything new, I will stick with what I have.
    584
  15. $58k is ridiculous let alone $73k.
    578
  16. Let's try for 600 days
    560
  17. Elon Musk designed it personally. He is very proud of that. Other Teslas were designed by people who knew what they were doing.
    549
  18. Overpriced by $10,000. ALOT MORE PLASTIC. And a turbo 4 cylinder.......NO THANKS. I'm a Tacoma man. But the Nissan Frontier feels more like the next Tacoma.
    533
  19. Let it rot on the lots. Boycott ALL dealers for 90 days and I guarantee you, cheaper prices by day 100. But WE ALL have to do it.... takes ALL OF US. Be smart people.
    524
  20. And everything is hunky dory folks ! The economy and Americans are all doing great. $100,000 trucks , $600,000 starter homes, and $25 hamburgers !
    516
  21. Yep. I have walked out of three dealers. They will not cut a deal on any trucks. GMC up 26% since 2019, Ford up 31%, RAM up 50%! And they act like a 1k discount is a great deal. People please stop buying at these insane prices!!!!
    483
  22. Hahahaha no way in hell I'd pay that
    479
  23. Overpriced & unreliable...
    460
  24. Quit building overpriced garbage. Rolling junk piles. People are still dumb, but getting wiser.😅
    459
  25. American car manufacturers screwed themselves over by dumping sedans
    407
  26. These prices are beyond ridiculous. We're living in an economic twilight zone.
    368
  27. The dealerships that have these crazy prices are not in the car business. They are usually set up to launder money.
    347
  28. People just want a simple truck 2 door to work no high tech bs
    344
  29. I wonder, does this dealer throws birthday parties for these vehicles?
    332
  30. Crazy. Wouldn’t pay anywhere near MSRP for a car that’s been sitting around outside for 3 years. That’s a used car now!
    311
  31. Everyone is attending a sales meeting stressing customer interaction.
    306
  32. My local Chevy dealer increased the price by 2k on a used truck that was sitting there for 80 days on the day they scheduled for me to look at it. The “sales specialist” said it’s getting a bunch of eyes and I said that can’t be true because it’s been here for 80 days. They had to jump start it’s been there so long. I wanted a good deal on it since it’s been there so long that they’d still make money but They refused to even lower the price to what it’s even worth. They are greedy and shady and I hope they all go out of business.
    269
  33. Prices STILL climbing as sales keep falling. Out of touch = Out of business.
    249
  34. F- that dealer!!!
    241
  35. Put a female spider emblem and some gay wheels on it and its worth 100k
    235
  36. Crazy how prices have gone so high! 50k 4Runners and 70K Sequoias in what world does that make "ANY" sense!
    233
  37. Worked as a service advisor, in the early 70's. I quit after a month. Management told me to,sell services the customers didn't need. Upselling should be illegal.
    227
  38. It's really hard to feel sorry for people who would skin me alive financially if I gave them the chance.
    227
  39. Sometimes you have to start over. I sold computers and subsystems for 15 years after college and finally woke up one day and realized I would be unemployed at 50 with no hope of finding a good paying job. I went back to school for 19 months and earned a BS in nursing. Everyone wanted me. I was paid for every single minute I worked. My benefits were free including medical, life insurance, disability, and continuing education. I received very good raises that kept pace with inflation and more. My wife and I worked for the same hospital on the same shift. We drove to work together, had lunch together, etc. When we retired in late 2018 we had saved enough money that our SS, pensions, and investment retirement income was the same as when we were working. So sometimes it really pays to start over.
    210
  40. Save yourself $20k, the turbo 4 headache, and Mexican craftsmanship. Get a nissan frontier
    200
  41. Looks like you went to a car museum, 😂 not a dealership fixing to make sales.
    186
  42. GMC way overpriced junk for real
    185
  43. Only a complete fool would pay these prices.
    182
  44. Much better off in HVAC, plumbing or electrical work.
    181
  45. It's simple: we don't have the money! I am driving a 23 year old Pontiac Vibe right now just to afford to eat!
    178
  46. These trucks have a strong and reliable drivetrain. No turbo. No cylinder deactivation. Good power and reliability that people can afford.
    172
  47. My son is 11 and loves to go to car shows. He loves to look at all the detail and craftsmanship of classic cars and trucks. He said “honestly, today the cars and trucks are just overpriced junk dad. They are all plastic snapped together and have little engines.” This is coming from a 6 grader.
    172
  48. My 25-year-old Suburban 4x4 runs like new, 425-miles on a full tank, heated leather seats still work, and all for $4K paid 5-years ago.
    172
  49. Anybody who would pay more than $50,000 for a Bronco has their head up where the sun don't shine!😮
    163
  50. That F150 is what trucks should be. We don’t need all this tech for a truck. We need a truck that can work all day, without breaking down.
    157
  51. Shun that dealer permanently. No excuse for dealer markups anymore.
    155
  52. No way in hell , I’m not paying that kind of money for a midsize truck. Specially SR5 model
    154
  53. Good lord, $46k sticker for an average optioned mid size truck.
    152
  54. Out of their minds... let them sit on the lots
    138
  55. I don’t understand who can afford these trucks. There’s no way I’d take on a vehicle mortgage, and I’d rather chew shards of glass than take the money out of savings to pay cash for one. But I guess the definition of afford is subjective. 60+ grand for a midsize truck 🤦‍♂️
    138
  56. Spending that kind of money on a depreciating asset is not very smart. Who does this?
    132
  57. I like the exterior and interior of the new Tacoma. I hate the drivetrain and the msrp. Less cylinders for more money. Anything over $32k for this is a ripoff. How can you pay $46k plus for this and not feel absolute robbed driving off the lot. Yea, no thanks, hard pass.
    129
  58. I just quit my job as a master technician twenty years plus in the horrible trade no money nothing but problems and toxic toxic toxic people. NO MORE NEVER GOING BACK 😮
    127
  59. They need to lower the prices! WE WILL NOT STAND FOR $80k pick up trucks!
    126
  60. Garbage prices for garbage cars that wont even last as long as the loan term. Wait for the real Deals when 90% of these dealerships start going under with their mountain of lot rot. Why is every industry such a disgraceful fucking scam these days.
    117
  61. You reap what you sow... no sympathy here. Good technicians are always in demand... salesmen, not so much.
    115
  62. Blame the central banks for printing SO MUCH money. Blame politicians.
    114
  63. People don’t call them the stealership for nothing. They mark up the price is because they know 50 guys come in sniffing at it and one out of 50 will bite. They did their homework.
    113
  64. Priced too high. No way would I pay 60k for a small truck with a 4 banger and still gets bad fuel economy
    112
  65. Welcome to America, where literally every industry is now a scam from corporate greed
    111
  66. Considering how salesman rip people off I have no sympathy for them.
    109
  67. BMW is having issues because they look extremely ugly after the new chief designer 🤡 Domegoj Ducek took over in 2018. Thank god he was finally fired earlier this year.
    107
  68. Overpriced JUNK! keep them.
    104
  69. Love the Frontier but I refuse to pay the price they are asking. I don’t care if times have changed none of them are worth more then $30,000.
    103
  70. GMC = "Get more cash!"
    96
  71. 501 days on the lot. That has to be some kind of record. Wake me up when this madness ends.
    94
  72. As an engineer, these land yachts are abominations designed by the market department to appeal to people with egos.
    91
  73. Damn my 21 Tacoma was 35k paid off and never getting a auto loan again . Couldn’t imagine paying 50-70k for a vehicle. I thought 35k was crazy 😂
    90
  74. You nailed it. I did 5 years at a dealer and almost starved to death. Everything you said I experienced. I retired in fleet maintenance, I'm glad my career is over.
    90
  75. My kid was a Euro ASE Master Tech with 20 years on the job at a German Luxury Car dealer and made well over $120K a year and finally got sick and tired of the young guys coming in that couldn't tie their shoes let alone diagnose with a computer what was wrong with a car and had to do it himself to keep the work moving. The other straw was the required stealing from customers with fake work, the management rational was that rich people don't really think too much about what fixing their very expensive car costs, they just pay it. So stealing from them was easy and required. He quit after 20+ years, never to return.
    88
  76. I am a Toyota guy but I've owned a few Fords... Explorer, Focus, and currently a Mustang. They were fun cars but have never been reliable. Stuff seems like it is always breaking. Wheel bearing, brake light switches, head gasket, timing chain guides... you name it. My Toyota starter finally failed at 250k miles. To even consider paying 100k for these cars is insane.
    87
  77. Had my new car serviced at the Toyota dealer, after I got home I opened the hood to check the oil and other things. I could tell the Tech rushed the service. The cap was left off the coolant reservoir container, I could smell coolant, thought I had a coolant leak. The rod that holds the hood up was not secured to the holder, just loose. Oil was overfilled past the max mark on the stick. Yes I believe techs are not paid fairly. Yes I believe techs skip some things and don’t do it correctly.
    85
  78. I cannot fathom paying these prices. The pandemic has passed. The supply chain is back. The greed tax is still in full swing.
    84
  79. That’s creepy Bro !!!! Not even management stood around to lock the dealership doors??? There’s more to this story !!!
    80
  80. Imagine if banks put reasonable credit limits on people based on their actual income. These prices would fall off a cliff. But no, they will let people borrow themselves into oblivion. So sad. 😢
    79
  81. I hate the car buying process.
    78
  82. I hate BMW! I don't know what I was thinking when I bought a new unreliable 325i in my 20's, which I kept for 11 years. And then here I go again, trading in the 325i for a new X5 right after. Both cars were so unreliable and the costs to maintain and repair was astronomically unethical. Both had electrical issues too. I missed so much time at work taking these cars at the BMW service center BMW's are junk. Do not get enticed by the design.
    77
  83. Service tech hourly rate: $25/hour Flat Rate Labor Charge: $185/hour
    77
  84. Whoever was in charge of this dealership is a complete idiot he ran it in the ground by tryin to fleece people serves them right
    76
  85. $46K + for a base work truck! Crazy! Shouldn't be anymore than $32K
    76
  86. The goal is to disappear the middle class downward and tax us into oblivion. Can you imagine 4 more years of this? Even owning a paid off truck is expensive. Insurance, maintenance, fuel, taxes etc.
    76
  87. Omg, thanks for reminding me why i pay cash for lexus vehicles with about 100k miles and drive them for 5 - 10 years. At 100k miles, i figure there's still a high probability that it will be more reliable, have more life left and my satisfaction will be higher than buying a pile of Euro or American made junk. Workin' great so far 👍
    76
  88. The V-8's in those vehicles use a Dynamic Fuel Management system--the engine fires on 2-8 cylinders. What could go wrong?
    76
  89. First rule of holes is if you are in one stop digging. Someone should send them a copy of that rule...
    74
  90. The addendum sticker is what you get at a scummy dealership.
    74
  91. This is why I buy private sale only. Bought a highly maintained Grand Marquis with 140,000 on the odometer 4 years ago for $1,500 it's still my daily. Last year I bought 93 K1500 in great condition with 120,000 original for $2,000. It's my wife's daily. And also an Acura MDX with 180,000 for $800 3 years ago. That one my daughter takes to college. Deals are out there, they just aren't at the dealerships. I own all 3 outright for about 5 months worth of car payments.
    74
  92. Toyota has become another garbage brand.
    73
  93. The problem is finding a dealership to service them because they live in the service department.
    73
  94. In my opinion, sedans are way cooler than SUV’s.
    69
  95. They still have markups on the remaining vehicles on that lot. 🤣
    69
  96. 5 thousand dollar dealer markup! What a joke do not buy any vehicle with a dealer markup. EVER!!!
    68
  97. I’d go get a frontier.
    67
  98. 2024 Mandatory Add On. Nothing pissed me off more than that.
    67
  99. These are about 10k to 15k to much honestly.
    67
  100. Greed is the culprit which will lead to their demise.
    67
  101. The problem began during the pandemic, when the foolish consumer was willing and eager to pay as much as 25% above MSRP, and the auto manufacturers and dealerships took note. The manufacturers and dealerships got fat during the pandemic, screwing over the foolish consumer, now sales are down post pandemic and dealerships wonder why.
    66
  102. My dumbass neighbor bought two new Jeep SUV’s
    64
  103. They are doing what any good private equity firm would do. Slash costs, fire people, give themselves raises, run the company into the ground sucking every bit of revenue from it, only to sell it piece by machine, building, lot piece and keep the money. That layered incompetence is criminal
    62
  104. The only thing missing: tumbleweeds blowing across the empty parking lot, with buzzards circling over head.
    60
  105. After some of the problems I've had with shops, I ain't gonna let no one touch my car anymore.
    54
  106. How does the Average guy afford these trucks /cars. A 91 K truck .... plus interest ..... My house 20 years was 140K and I honestly thought I paid too much for it.... Borrowed 10k from my Line of Credit for down payment ....It is worth 400k in today's market and I pay 750 month in mortage so why sell and pay 2000 plus plus to rent an apartment ... add on groceries ... today took my small basket in filled it up ..almost 100 dollars ... as a 75 year old man in Canada I actually thought I was middle class a few years ago and like many folks Struggling to get by on my pension. I TRULY would be OK if my house was valued at say 170K today if other folks could afford cars /trucks and be able to buy a home .... I think our world is going to shit and it will get worse .... just an old man of 75 worthless opinion .... Love from Canada to our neighbours .... Roy
    54
  107. Those Stealerships deserve it by jacking up their prices (Mark Ups)
    54
  108. I got my base model 2024 frontier with the utility package and technology package for 38k OTD at 2.9% APR
    53
  109. My very wealthy lawyer father said “a car is nothing but transportation.” One of the most modest men I ever met. It makes me proud when I am working on my 2002 Ram 1500 quad cab with rebuilt motor and tranny with dual magnum exhaust, new brakes, radio, speakers my friend sold me for $2500. As a homeless disabled veteran, that’s the top of my range. Got my Motorpower OBD2 scanner today $25 delivered from Amazon. Only threw a couple codes.
    52
  110. i have done this for years and I too caught a shop one I mark oil file too
    51
  111. Still love my Giulia quadrifoglio. I have an independent mechanic that is doing all the maintenance. No reason to go back to the dealer. this independent does everything from Ferraris to McLaren so I think I’ll be fine. Six years in and no problems. 40,000 miles. Although the maintenance is very expensive.
    50
  112. I agree with you price is 25% to 30% overpriced on every manufacturer really. Folks have to stop paying these prices or they won't drop the prices. STOP BUYING GUYS!!!!!
    48
  113. Even if money was no object, I would not spend $100K on any vehicle. Insane!
    48
  114. Most of these never go off road.
    48
  115. Start bringing ballons and birthday cards to the dealships for the cars that have been there for over a year. That will make the salesman laugh.
    47
  116. The 4 cylinder Toyota trucks used to be the cheapest ones on the lot. Now look at them, absolutely ridiculous
    46
  117. Excellent commentary with this video. That additional toilet paper side stick, the sales manager stuck on, is typical thieves at work.
    46
  118. The banks are at fault too because the truck is not worth the extra 5K in mark ups. So if they give the loan that is instant negative equity right off the bat on top of all the other negitive equity from driving off the lot with a brand new truck.
    46
  119. I paid $40,000 for my 2023 Tacoma TRD offroad in December. Can't believe the prices for the 2024 models.
    46
  120. These Tacoma's remind me of plastic model kits I used to buy when I was a kid, they never looked right and the pieces just didn't blend together. These trucks look cheap, the old Tacomas looked like quality.
    46
  121. I'm picking up my new pro x in the morning. It's easy to see why they are leading. Simple and on the cheaper end of smaller trucks.
    45
  122. Toyota is pricing themselves out of Tacoma customers.
    45
  123. There isn’t a single vehicle that is worth 1/3 the asking price. All overpriced junk.
    45
  124. Prices too high. I make $100k a year and can’t afford a decent spec Ranger or any truck. Crazy these are even selling given the average and median American household incomes.
    44
  125. Its not just the initial costs of tools, its the fact that you often need to update and purchase speciality tools on a regular basis to equal or beat flat rate time. Shops don't provide enough tools (imho) for techs to be efficient at their jobs. If your shop does a fair amount of AC work, you might have two machines. But often times you'll have to wait for your turn to use it; I own my own machine and my own VAT 40 when did work and never had to wait for a shop supplied tool. But, a word of advice; become a plumber or electrician, it pays more and your tool costs are limited. Or, do fleet work in a government shop; get a pension, great benefits, paid vacations and almost never worry about layoffs.
    44
  126. I’m good w/ my 2004 Taco…..
    44
  127. I sat in one at a local car show. Looked at all the midsize that were there that day. I have to say it was probably the one that felt the roomiest in the driver seat. Mostly because the center console was low and maybe narrower to allow my right leg to tilt out a bit. But I find the Ranger to be a little ugly, or just not as pleasing to MY eye. The prices of all of them, all vehicles, are just out of reality. Add to that today's economy, the real economy, not the one the dems are saying, things are just nuts. And the interest rates are rediculous.
    43
  128. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves
    42
  129. Three days ago I bought a Frontier SV extended cab with 6ft bed $2000 below MSRP. Extended cabs don't sell as well as club cabs but I don't need the passenger space so it works for me. I wanted to buy a new GMC Canyon but not interested in a short bed, club cab, 4 cyl turbo anything. I agree that the deals that were starting to be common will disappear soon.
    42
  130. I just can't be sad over this because MY Chrysler died decades ago. The Chrysler I remember was Chrysler Corporation. Not Stellantis, not Cerberus or whatever it was called, DaimerChrysler, or FiatChrysler. I am talking Chrysler Corporation. Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Imperial. Valiant. Dart. Dodge (not Ram) trucks, from pickups through over-the-road. Not rebadged Alfa Toe-Nails. I'm 75. I saw Hudson and Nash go when American Motors came about. AMC gave it a go and had a good run. Studebaker stopped making cars, but went on with their many other businesses; they did not "go out of business". Kaiser/Fraser went. So did Packard. Face it, folks. Companies die, whether from bad management, failure to adapt to the times, or the public loses interest in the product. Look at the ones that DID adapt: when was the last time American Express handled a package? When did Western Union last handle a telegram or offer TWX/Telex service? They pivoted into other businesses and remain successful.
    42
  131. GM for the last 3 decades in a NutShell
    42
  132. Let them rot. I knew this was happening just before Covid. I bought a 2018 F150 for $29,000 extended cab with a tow hitch capable touring 8000 pounds. Just enough for my small camper also have a 2005 Chevy Silverado work truck only has 60,000 miles and I’m running into the ground. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another truck again not with these prices.
    41
  133. My 1978 Chevrolet Silverado looks so good in my driveway. Drive it everyday and maintain just like new. Remember if you maintain your vehicle like it is the last vehicle you will ever own you will not have to replace that vehicle.
    40
  134. The key to negotiate anything, be willing to walk away.
    40
  135. I live at the beach in LA. So many people drive these things and I'm certain most are not work trucks. Also seeing too many ugly Cybertrucks. I paid cash for a beautiful, low mileage, well maintained, used Mercedes coupe. Four years and zero problems. No car payments. Very happy with my decision.
    40
  136. My dad owns a mechanic shop in Santa Barbara County, he said Jeeps are so bad right now every week they get a few in due to bad electronic wiring and all sorts of other stuff. They'll fix them, just so the customer can sell it off. :(
    40
  137. I bought a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X in that green. Love it. Ride is very nice.
    39
  138. This will always happen when you try to GROW way to fast. All German car companies make too many models, get rid of the BMW 1's and the 2's. cut some out of the others, or loose your company. This is why the resale price is terrible. Audi is a very temperamental car. Repairs will kill your wallet. VW stay away!!
    38
  139. They're all off their rockers. Neither vehicle is worth the price they are asking for them.
    38
  140. Anyone who pays thousands for these piles of trash has got serious mental issues..
    38
  141. Lot rot engaged!
    38
  142. They are absolute junk now... Do not buy anything that isnt made in japan!
    37
  143. agreed! I just lemon'd a very expensive F150 platinum. It was in the shop more than 100 days this year. :( Great looking truck, piss poor mechanically.
    36
  144. You're not taking into consideration how bad ass you would look pulling up to the food bank in that suburban.
    36
  145.  @revnation_auto  as you like to say, “let it rot”🔥🔥🔥
    36
  146. Who the hell would waste whatever little money they had on a Chevy anyways
    35
  147. The simple fact that the tacomas moved production from San Antonio to Mexico means they ARE SAVING MONEY ALREADY. Why the fuck is the price higher? I’m not buying their bullshit . Gonna drive my 4x4 TRD OR till the suspension falls off
    35
  148. 3k for bs nitrogen? That dealer is scum
    35
  149. 2 years from now it will be 30k on the used market.
    34
  150. Years ago i bought a new car took it to the dealer for an oil change and the tech didnt put the oil cap back on.Drove home which took 20 min.For some reason i opened the hood to see oil all over my engine. Luckily i only lost a qt of oil no damage.Put a qt of oil in it drove it right back to the dealer i made them spit shine it.
    34
  151. Nice truck, but they are still way overpriced.
    34
  152. To nissan , make more king cabs not everybody wants a crew cab.
    33
  153. They’d rather loose tens of thousands on each vehicle at the auction then give a customer 10% off low interest. Sad!
    32
  154. I've seen more 2024 Tacoma's sitting on the dealer lot than I've seen out in the wild.
    32
  155. Stellantis is basically the Payless Shoes of the automotive industry. Style over substance.
    31
  156. Worth 25000. They are nuts!
    31
  157. The UAW workers will be the next to go.
    31
  158. Tax and all the crap well over $100 k , no way in hell.
    30
  159. I think they should’ve left the front end alone. to me It looks big and bulky. It has the hideous Nissan pathfinder three rings on the top of the hood. I do like the new rims but I wish they were at least 18 inches
    29
  160. Tools are too expensive and you need a ton of them... Pay isnt high enoughl to make a living compared to other trades... Flat rate encourages mistakes and rushing... Way too much warranty work if your at a dealer to make any money... Parts are seemingly never available and your always waiting, have a lift tied up, have to move bays... etc... all stuff that loses you money! I gave up on it in 2014 and went into a maintenance role, still make great money turning wrenches but i have half as many headaches! Also, the not having to constantly buy tools week to week is nice!
    29
  161. I purchased a 2023 Frontier P4X in June 23, mine is black and loaded, every option, 50k out the door. I love it. Tacoma did nothing for me, dated.. and I did not want to wait on the new Tacoma because of the 4 cyl.. turbo engines. No thanks.
    29
  162. Maybe the dealers are looking for a Trump bailout.
    29
  163. It isn‘t any better in europe. I‘ve worken 9 years on mazda one year on peugeot and four years on citroen/suzuki. The pay you get is fixed and it‘s not great in these 15 years I got zero hours over time paid. Its illigal but the shop doesn‘t care. They do every thing in there power to write of expenses from your pay but you never ever get anything extra. The workenvierment is harsch. No AC in summer, you get chooched alive and inadequad hearing in winter. Your always freezing. And the work culture is hostile and toxic you get jelled at often. They punish you for every sick leave. They expect you to work ill and do unpaid overtime. You just destroy your body doing a highly skilled and complicated job. But they pay you shit tread you badly and don‘t care at all for your wellbeeing. I loved to be a car mechanic, I didn‘t do it for money I did it as my passion. But at some point you have to quit and move one from this terrible conditions.
    29
  164. Everything you highlighted was overpriced by double; if they can afford the floorplan costs then screw them...
    28
  165. Why bother purchasing something that expensive? Let it them rot!
    28
  166. You can buy a Ranger Raptor cheaper than that Terra Tacoma. Has Toyota lost its mind with the pricing? 😂
    28
  167. Remember folks - Alfa Romeo depreciate almost as fast as a Range Rover.
    28
  168. 29 short years ago I bought my first home for 55k. Log cabin on 5 acres with garage. Paying 80K for a truck, mentally impossible.
    28
  169. Just bought a S King Cab 4X4. I needed the long bed. Love it
    28
  170. Everything you buy these days (I'm referring to durable gods like appliances, etc.) are in a race to the bottom in quality. For instance, I am looking to replace a printer. Just go and read the 1 and 2 star ratings for ANYTHING these days. It is a crying shame. Instead of a company making 25 different models of a device, just concentrate on a couple and make them to last. Well, that is not a good business decision. It needs to fail shortly after the warranty expires or they would not sell as many.
    28
  171. The way to stay poor is having car payments. New vehicles are the number 1 wealth killer in America.
    27
  172. There’s gonna be massive lay offs in the car industry and dealerships that took advantage of people during Covid are gonna be begging for customers.
    27
  173. Seriously glad I bought a 2021 Tacoma SR for 28,300. I will add my own shocks
    27
  174. Thanks for showing the truck. There nuts!
    27
  175. The reason sales probably slowed on them is the refreshed Tacoma came out recently and refreshed Ford Ranger is due out soon. The Frontier seems like the much better value, it will be interesting to see how market share shapes up once the new Ranger hits lots. Full disclosure I bought a 23 Pro4x last week and I love it.
    27
  176. New Tacomas for more money with less reliability? WINNER
    27
  177. CVT CVT CVT what the heck are ppl talking about !!! Had 7 Nissans and the current one for over 350,000 kms with zero trouble.
    27
  178. I bought a 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x!! I love it!! I traded my 2010 Tacoma for it, i should have bought a Titan long ago!! Best Truck on the market and most underrated!!!
    26
  179. It was only 25 years ago houses cost less than these cars
    26
  180. Simplicity always wins. I agree that the other brands have gotten way too complicated, which adds cost and reduces reliability.
    26
  181. I'd buy that just for the powertrain... long live the naturally aspirated V6!
    25
  182. People want a base model with manual transmission. 2wd and 4x4
    25
  183. NO BAIL OUTS!
    25
  184. All dealer owners see the employees as replacable. Turnover in sales is 50/yearly, less in service because there are fewer available folks. Plus the service manager hands out the plum jobs to their buddies.
    25
  185. if there taken care of from the begining, they'll basically run forever, reliably. with proper maintenence.
    25
  186. Bring back the 510 Datsun
    25
  187. pricing is a big problem, If Ford sold these for 29,995 they would sell a lot more of these, I would pump out more and take less profit per unit and then make up the profit in parts and service!
    25
  188. Needed a 2024 mid-sized truck and Nissan was the only one with a V6, 4x4, 6 foot bed. Bought a SV king cab and love it. The 9a speed trans blows away my older 3rd gen Tacoma.
    24
  189. Great video your totally right don’t pay it
    24
  190. Paying $50k for a Toyota anything made in Mexico is hilarious.
    24
  191. 5 ft bed is a deal breaker for me, 6 ft or forget about it...
    24
  192. Just go buy an good used Toyota and be done
    24
  193. Sounds like exploitation. We live in a exploitation economy.
    23
  194. Love my 2016 SR5. 130k miles so far and absolutely reliable and trouble free. Looking to make it to 300k. I've gotten 23mpg on the highway - average is 18 mpg. Could be the last vehicle I'll ever own - I'm 68 now.
    23
  195. If I was a holder of Tesla stock, I’d probably start eyeing the exits. Unless Musk has something up his sleeve, like a doubling of range or halving the charging time, I don’t see where further growth in sales is going to come from.
    23
  196. To repeat myself "$53K for a truck? WTF!!"
    23
  197. The 4RUNNER is a great true reliable SUV for people that know about cars and want a reliable vehicle. I used to own a 2017 LIMITED trim. Never had a single issue. Sold it in 2022 and I ended up buying a Lexus GX460 since I wanted a V8 ( bullet proof ancient power train. ) Conclusion “ YOU CANT GO WRONG” with proven reliability on engine, transmission, suspension and interior quality. Thanks for the video.
    23
  198. They are quitting.....but going freelance. Way better money.
    23
  199. Yeah. Who wants a vehicle with engines that blow up and with no bump stops that allow for struts to break
    23
  200. The Ev9 is being discounted up to $10k with 0% finance in South Florida with no mark up
    22
  201. Hopefully this equates to some really good deals on the 24's left on the lots!
    22
  202. if people don't buy they won't be arrogant when they file for bankruptcy.
    21
  203. Looked at a 22 300s the other day. They wanted MSRP and I told them no. Then they offered to drop 2500 which again I told them no. The dealer honestly told me if he dropped it any more he would be taking a total lose. I laughed at him and said not as much as I would lose titling a 3 year old vehicle. I will just keep waiting cause my wife's 2014 is paid off and still getting the job done.
    21
  204. Bought my 23 last year and it’s been wonderful. My local dealer gets them in by the truckload and they’re gone within a couple of weeks to a month.
    21
  205. Cylinder deactivation is a no go for me.
    21
  206. Waiting on 25’s to come out so 5th generation runners get a bigger discount.
    21
  207. I paid a little over $14000 OTD for a base model Jetta in 2017. Still driving it 100,000 trouble-free miles later. It’s a great little commuter, gets over 40 mpg (I avoid driving like I’m leading the pack at Talladega). It’s turned out to be a good purchase.
    21
  208. Check the spare tire. They don't give you a real spare, instead a convenience tire with different thread than the other 4 tires and mounted on a temporary rim.
    20
  209. I hope most if not all OEMs have trouble selling their vehicles this year
    20
  210. I drive a 2004 ford crown victoria that my grandma gave me when i was 17. im 28, now still going strong, keep up the oil changes and maintainance 230k miles
    20
  211. All pick ups are ridiculously priced.
    20
  212. Getting ready to put $5000 in repairs to my 20 year old pick. Not going to spend $60,000 on a new vehicle.
    20
  213. LOVE not needing a car. my Toyota is only 19, I'll never sell it.
    20
  214. all the dealers need to close, and the car companies will sell direct. We are tired of the scums.
    19
  215. I wouldn't own a Jeep even if they offered me one for free.
    19
  216. And these are the same people who will vote Harris under the premise of a better life.
    19
  217. Looks like Ford Rangers can do anything. They even bring families closer together!
    19
  218. I leased a 2024 Jeep Compass last April to replace my truck. I went to the dealer I got it from when someone bashed in the rear end after having it for eight months. The sales person was extremely rude and pulled my credit when I asked them not to because my car was still in limbo at that point. I felt used and abused because they kept saying I wasn’t qualified when I had told them that my lease was not paid off yet. To make a long story short, the insurance company decided to fix my car and after 2 1/2 months I’m going to be picking it up from the body shop from a competitor. I will not get another vehicle from that dealer again.
    19
  219. All car makers are producing 60k+ cars but consumers want 20k+ cars. LOL
    19
  220. Son has a Stelvio Volace and it’s a fun car. He passed on BMW for the Alfa Romeo. I’ll shop next generation when it arrives. On Long Island NY these Alfa Romeos sell very well.
    18
  221. Who misses the Tacoma V6 say ME! ?
    18
  222. Great show ! I traded in my 2016 Ford F150 for a 2024 Nissan Frontier which I throughly enjoy very much and I love the fact that the Frontier is not turbocharged like the competition. 😊
    18
  223. What's the long term plan? 60k for a Tacoma 120k for raptor. Somethings up and I don't trust it. I think it has something to do with the great reset and you'll own nothing
    18
  224. This recall only effects the Ridgelines that were already on dealer lots when the recall was announced. I just bought a new Ridgeline right off the truck last week that already had the recall taken care of at the factory. There were 6 new models however on the lot with stop sales on them. I watched two other customers also purchase Ridgelines while I was making the deal on mine, so they are still selling at least here in central PA. Sticker on my Trailsport was $46k and some change got it for $2500 under MSRP and with Honda finance 1.9% 36mo deal. I'm pleased in today's market with that deal. Oh yeah, the dealer did try to add a $995 wax job and $250 splash guards which were easily removed during negotiations.
    18
  225. In 2002 I bought a 2wd Tacoma stepside. It cost me $16k and I thought that was an awful price. I can't imagine buying anything from Toyota now. They have rode on their reputation for too long. Now they will have to deliver quality at an acceptable price and it will never happen. A lot of established brands are coming to an end.
    18
  226. I own the Limited with full time 4WD, and got to drive a base SR5 4x4 as a rental for a work trip once. What nobody talks about is how the full time 4WD system feels a touch slower and unresponsive when compared to the standard part time 4WD. The part time 4WD, which is usually just 2WD, feels like driving a normal Tacoma with the same drivetrain - and you can actually break the back end loose occasionally or spin the wheels if you want. The Limite full time 4WD system almost feels like it has a pre-set full-throttle curve, where if you punch the throttle the ecu gives the driver a standard and conservative power delivery curve which never lets the wheels spin. The part time 4WD model felt like driving a proper truck and it felt like it was lighter as well, since it was. Also, the full mileage varies - I can get 21-22 mpg on my Limited if I'm doing an extended highway road trip. The factory sticker had something like 18 or 19 on the highway.
    17
  227. 😂🎉 My coworker got one recently we told him not to!! Two times back to the dealer for problems!! Ha!! Piece of Trash!
    17
  228. LMAO! “K-Mart Interior”
    17
  229. I would not work as a mechanic these days. I remember points, carbs, HEI ignition and Ford Durafail. I remember rear wheel drive cars and cars I could pull the motor in 2 or 3 hours from under the hood. These new cars SUCK!!!!!!! Most of them are FWD. Most of them you have to remove the body to get the motor out. If mechanics are only being paid 25 an hour commission, gee that is no better than what 30 years ago? Plus you need 200,000 dollars worth of tools and electronic gear to work on todays nightmares.
    17
  230. As a kid in late 80’s early 90’s, i remember my mom saying never buy domestic. We only had Toyotas. When i turned 16 i got a Honda. Never had a problem. Decided to get Chevy Avalanche. Love the truck but not reliable. 6k motor rebuild after 149k miles due to AFM technology they supposed to solve base on their old technology. Guess what still the same issue. Stuck lifters and engine failure. 2007-2022. I’m gonna stick on buys older Hondas and Toyotas. The newer cars are designed for planned obsolete.
    17
  231. Damn shame what Toyota has done to the Tacoma, Tundra and 4Runner
    17
  232. my motorbike mechanic at a big dealership was complaining to me he earned less than a hair dresser,
    16
  233. Dealers believing that affordability will magically get better in 2025 is a totally stupid view in my opinion. Most people today can't afford a $50,000 vehicle and some of these vehicles are 80 thousand bucks.
    16
  234. The Pro-4x Frontier is one of my favorite mid size truck!
    16
  235. Whatever Bronco you buy, I would opt to get the Saquash package where you get front and rear lockers. Fifty grand for pickups with no bed or rear fender liners--outrageous.
    16
  236. My mom bought a repossessed house for less than a Laramie in 2000.
    16
  237. LMAO a $90,000 suburban or food? Really? Yeah, THAT's why they're not selling.
    16
  238. Been looking at pickup options. Frontier really is the best deal with least likelihood of engine or trans failure.
    16
  239. For 25k, I could get (3) older, used Toyota / Lexus and get 30-40 years of reliable ownership…
    16
  240. In that parking lot there's something you never see on the road: DODGE HORNETS 🤣🤣🤣
    16
  241. Who would service the car if the dealers went out of business?
    16
  242. Plus, I've heard nothing but bad about reliability.
    16
  243. O want a come back of the 4.0 inline 6 from AMC and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION … two doors WRANGLER
    15
  244. Pro 4X all day lol we did a review with an owner of a Frontier Pro 4X and we were pleasantly surprised
    15
  245. Who in their right mind is buying these things for that kind of money? Maybe I'm just getting old and cheap but I just dont understand dropping a $100 grand on an electric vehicle. I cant imagine the payment for this. I also wonder what these things will be worth in 5-10 years?
    15
  246. That is just throwing money away! 195 thousand out the door it should fly? And the warranty will expire before it's paid off! One thing the ev hummer has over the cyber rust dumpster, it's not musk ugly!
    15
  247. The crows cawing in the background adds a fitting graveyard-like aesthetic to this car lot.
    15
  248. I've driven 50 years without a backup camera. The reason these auto prices are skyrocketing is these manufacturers feel compelled to keep adding all this electronic and computer stuff that is definitely not required to get from point a to b. 😂 Love my 21 Ridgeline btw. Great vehicle.
    15
  249. That's some audacity to think that people would pay that much for an unreliable, heavily depreciating hunk of metal and plastic!
    15
  250. They’re self destructing!
    15
  251. FRONTIER (D40 & D41): 1) Stronger FULLY-BOXED frame 2) Rear DISC brakes 3) Full STEEL bed TACOMA: 1) Weaker OPEN C-CHANNEL flexy frame. 2) Rear DRUM brakes. 3) FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC bed.
    15
  252. Bullshit is just getting started.
    15
  253. Biggest problem at Nissan is potential buyers see the dealer markups, laugh, and immediately leave. Nissan is a dumpster fire of their own making.
    15
  254. Who wants a very expensive pick-up with an extremely unreliable reputation? Apparently very few.
    14
  255. It’s all about profit.. Toyota is absolutely tanking
    14
  256. All trucks are at least $10k over priced, some $20k-$30k. Tacos costing more than $50k is insane.
    14
  257. Pro-X. No four wheel for me.
    14
  258. I have a lifted 2018 platinum reserve and it’s been great at 50k so far. It’s actually my 3rd Titan. I really do like them. They are overlooked way too much
    14
  259. Just bought a new under appreciated and underrated Nissan Titan in the pro-4x trim and Baja storm. 10k under msrp at 0% for 60mo. Edit: I was a Tundra guy but I rather have a naturally aspirated v8 over a turbo charged v6.
    14
  260. As someone who owns a 2022, but still had the hemi, I can say that it is a significant jump and ride quality and styling above a Tahoe I can’t speak for the other models. We absolutely would not go back to Tahoe after having the Wagoneer. I will say though we bought it secondhand for significantly less than the $100,000 price point you mentioned
    14
  261. Toyota truck owner since 1982,multiples. Two in the driveway now. Would NOT buy a new one.
    14
  262. I bought my first new car in 1974. A Chevrolet Camaro with automatic transmission and AM radio, no air conditioning. Total price with TTL was $2806. I drove that car until 2009.
    13
  263. I didn’t realize they had the Mazda 3 with a manual. It’s going to have to go on the short list.
    13
  264. Like with EVs. There are only a certain amount of the population that want them or can really afford them and that population has been maxed out. The rest and majority of the population are in fixed low incomes or are living paycheck to paycheck. They need a common 20-30k car.
    13
  265. You could get rid of your Cybertruck's logo and replace it with " Property of the Department of Sanitation. "
    13
  266. I've always been a Tacoma fan but would not buy that new 2024 model. I would opt for a Frontier.
    13
  267. Rule #1, if you are going to be an auto mechanic you have to SPECIALIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A "general repair man is a road to nowhere unless you want to be an idiot like Scotty Kilmer....
    13
  268. Honda dodged a bullet
    13
  269. i bought a 24 Pro4X loaded for 39900 OTD in March! great truck
    13
  270. I left the auto industry for a public utility years ago. Best decision I've ever made.
    13
  271. The line I'm responsible for at work builds up the rear boxes for the Hummer EV truck and SUV. I mean if someone wants to pay for it, let her rip, but not me. Actually looking at Subaru for my next car. The dealer by me has a 2024 Crosstrek pretty well equipped too for $28,000. I would prefer to buy something we build, but I refuse to pay these stupid prices. Plus I keep reading Subaru is tops in reliability. Decent price and reliability are what I'm most concerned with. In the meantime I'll keep saving every damn penny I can because I gotta feeling we're gonna be feeling it sooner or later.
    12
  272. I think for the money I'd buy something else. Definitely a collectors car just to say they have one. I'm curious how bad the torque steer is when getting on it. I'm sure they've fixed that.
    12
  273. The biggest reason the Ridgeline doesnt move is that ugly front end. It is hideous. People want a Pickup to look like a truck, not a minivan.
    12
  274. Do you think all major vehicle manufacturers get together and establish pricing to keep profit margins as high as they can? Hmm... This may be overly simplistic but the concept is pretty simple: To corner the market all one has to do is build a full size, very simple, RELIABLE truck for 25k (or less). I like the looks of most all the trucks on the market (especially Fords, and I'm a Chevy man that is currently driving a Frontier) but what concerns me most is the small, turbo charged engines and ten speed transmissions. Will they be as reliable as a turbo 400 trans, a 350 gm engine or a 7.3 powerstroke? I'm not so sure. 50k is a big roll of the dice on a vehicle hoping you won't have to start replacing major parts before 100k miles. Anyway thank you for another great video.
    12
  275. Shame they stopped selling the Passet here.
    12
  276. LOL. My 23 SR5 longbed in Silver has all the same stuff except the winter package which I don't need where I am at. Got the V6 4wd for 41 grand. I'll take the V6 over the turbo crap. I got it tuned with OTT and it has plenty of low end power now and smooth quick shifting. I had to drive 6 hours to get the truck but I didn't pay any markups. I remember when paying at MSRP was considered being ripped off now we got these crazy markups. TFL just had their brand new 24 tacoma lose 4wd on a mild course. 53k is more than my dad paid for a loaded Chevy 2500HD Crew Cab with 4wd and the 6.6 gas engine. That was a few years back when they still had the 6 speed autos.
    12
  277. The banks will bail them out, supported by the gov't and the expense of taxpayers if they file for bankruptcy.Life is so unfair.
    12
  278. I think they're gambling on tax season. All I can say is thank god and Honda for my 2013 Accord.
    12
  279. Nice review ... thank you. The limited with Full-time 4WD is amazing 👏
    12
  280. Toyota and the dealers caught on, and are taking the profits for themselves
    12
  281. My 2016 has been so flawless and i cant seem to get rid of it seeing how poorly other new vehicles are today. The software glitches, the fragile fenders, the fragile underbodys that break apart from deep potholes, This overbuilt tank will get to where you need storm or shine. Dramatic people call it old, i call it simplicity and old doesnt do that. Its just a proven perfect track record. See you in the 300k mile club.😎
    12
  282. The trd pro are the ones that has the highest resell value. You’ll say it cost an arm and a leg, but you can get 2 arms and a leg selling it
    12
  283. Absolutely 💯! No nonsense approach and one of the most affordable trucks on the market
    12
  284. I appreciate the short video of this content, everyone doing these drags them over 15min
    12
  285. I could buy one of these trucks cash tomorrow. But they are complete garbage and I'm not interested. I don't want a twin turbo that grenades itself when you drive it off the lot and no-one wants a hybrid truck. Bring back the proven V8 and I'd get one tomorrow at even these prices. That engine will last forever and those trucks were bullet proof investments. This junk isn't worth even $10k. Who wants a truck you can't rely on?

  286. I'll pay for a quality truck. Unfortunately GMC and GM Trucks have boatloads of quality problems. If the CAFE standards get rolled back I would be interested in an ICE truck without DFM and somehow get rid of half the computer controlled crap that keeps breaking - including the transmissions. These are basically disposable vehicles that will stuggle to make it to 150K. Currently have 5 vehicles but on the truck side it's the last reliable V6 in a 23 Nightshade Tacoma. If I needed full size it would have had to be a 21 Tundra 1794. The last V8 without AFM or DFM without going up to the 2500 series with the 6.6 liter. What a mess.

  287. You kept cool and did the right thing to give the calm salesman some helpful advice and that’s to think about moving on. Everybody loses with Stelantis. Prices too high, buyers cant afford it, Stellantis firm on prices, sales people cant make money.
    12
  288. 30 dollars an hour? After your IRA, after your health insurance, that ain't squat.
    12
  289. Made in Mexico TuRD TACO😂
    12
  290. Once the 2025 models start hitting lots you’ll really see some deals. There’s so much inventory on the 24’ GT’s
    12
  291. I agree, at that price, it beats the Tacoma up and down all day long. And I've owned many Toyotas.
    12
  292. Our local small town dealer has the most New vehicles I have ever seen there. Nobody is going to pay that for a work truck in the snow belt.
    12
  293. Whoever is running Toyota has no business sense. They no longer focus on the customer and bring little value with their new trucks. They price their trucks where maybe only10% of the customer base can afford it, but produce same amounts. Of course they will start to pile up on dealer's lots. They Introduce more complex engines (turbo, hybrid) that add thousands to the cost, but deliver so little mpg benefit. Where is the value? If I could get 40 mpg, maybe there's value. Terrible business moves...
    12
  294. Bought a brand new 24 Sentra SR with every option available for 24800 which stickered for $30k.By the way,our own GM and Ford would be done if it would not be for the government bailing them out.
    12
  295. I have a problem with people who consider a chrome tricked-out truck as a "symbol of maleness". I am an old guy. Back in the 1900s trucks were considered a tool like a tractor.
    12
  296. Yeah, i just checked out an F250 the other day... It was a 4x4, but other than that, it wasn't a fancy model... They still wanted 100 grand. They can keep that crap. I'll keep driving the vehicles i already have.
    12
  297. Let it rot, in the lot. Smart people don't buy.
    12
  298. I've always been a huge Toyota fan and own a 2004 Tacoma and 2018 RAV. But that Trail Boss absolutely destroys the 2024 Taco.
    11
  299. I test drove one. Wasn't even the higher end equipment like 14" touchscreen not even predator steps and was 52K before dealer fees. I told them my 2022 TRD offroad was fine, and I want to keep manual. They said new models do not come in manual lol.
    11
  300. Those automotive techs need to start their own businesses.
    11
  301. Fewer vehicles but at outrageous prices is the new business model. They discovered during covid people would fight to pay over MSRP. They will never go back.
    11
  302. Good Man! Great trucks, I have Pro 4 x and love it!
    11
  303. Alternate universe pricing - thanks joe biden!
    11
  304. Jeep dealership in July: offered me a new Gladiator Sport S for $54k, no frills, no conversation or haggling 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 Same Jeep dealer two months ago: sends me an offer (that I accepted) on a new Gladiator for $33k, plus $2,500 more for my trade-in, plus refunded my brake work, plus threw-in a soft top, plus a free year of Sirius XM, plus free Gorilla Glass and Sierra wheels upgrades and 7 free oil changes and tire rotations.
    11
  305. I use the percentage of people who buy the tacoma to find out how many people failed kindergarten.
    11
  306. This is terrible news. Thank you for the warning.
    11
  307. Traded down from overpriced pickup to 24 jetta sport and no regrets...fun to drive, great mileage, easy on the wallet, and no cvt!
    11
  308. Taking a picture of a window sticker IS NOT Illegal so call the police PERIOD !!
    11
  309. That's an awesome story with your daughter! I just got my first Ranger and every one is telling me how they love it! They just are awesome 😋
    11
  310. Great truck and in today's world, at one time or another, they're all going to have a recall notice, just to CYA. I'd buy this over any midsize truck out there and it'll also last 300k miles with minimal repairs when doing the scheduled maintenance. If you're not rock crawling, this truck will handle mild two tracks and be more than most truck owners need for family doings.
    11
  311. As well as Elo Ma's political shenanigins, I think Teslas have become boring. Externally I can't tell a Y from a 3 unless they're standing next to each other, and the Y in 2012 looks the same as the Y in 2025. Meanwhile there are many other options coming to the market, and they don't rely on one screen to control and display everything.
    11
  312. So true about the Chevy Tahoe, bought a 2016 Tahoe NEW. Babied the heck out of that thing. 5 year later, new transmission, AC, and 10K worth of various failures. Sold it and bought me 2022 SR5 Premium 4Runner and very happy. Done with Chevy.
    11
  313. I recently was looking into a Jeep Gladiator. The dealers were playing the same old games, adding $3k in dealer add ons. I am done, I walked away!
    10
  314. People keep shopping by payment and they don't understand they are taking out 7 to 9 year loans to get that payment so they are buried in debt and the interest adds another $20,000 dollars to the price of the truck by the time it is paid off. Stupid buyers are to blame, just walk away people or you will never get yourself out of debt.
    10
  315. 3 years sitting = lot rot. Will need new wheels for sure.
    10
  316. I continue seeing negative comments on the 2024 Tacomas; but I really have enjoyed my 2024 Tacoma Limited & it has over 4000 miles now & I have not had any issues with it! I enjoy the ride & the engine has enough power for me! I traded my 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 that I bought brand new & I don’t regret it!
    10
  317. I knew this was going to happen. Dealers getting greedy. Will have to shop around, don't pay the mark ups or junk stuff like nitrogen. Stand firm in negotiating. You have to be willing to walk away, literally. Good video, thanks for bringing this out.
    10
  318. I have a '24 SV king cab 6'bed and I love it. The truck I would have bought instead if I could have would have been the Canada only Pro 4X king cab 6'bed.
    10
  319. For 35k I would rather get a Frontier with a 6cyl engine
    10
  320. Love my Giulia Quadrifoglio 2018 hasn't let me down and i had it since 2020.
    10
  321. Inflation is a gov tax destroyer of the middle class and poor inflation is 2-3 times what gov says they don’t include groceries and energy
    10
  322. And the massive lack of transmission reliability
    10
  323. I bought my Tacoma TRD Off Road PreRunner, V6 SR5 new, off the lot, for 18k with all possible options. At that time, the engine was poured in Elkhart. The bed was made in Long Beach, CA. The cab was made in Fremont CA. So essentially an USA MADE truck. I still own this 2005 Tacoma and have only 21k miles on it. The only thing I had to do is get it repainted because of a failed clear coat. Not a bad investment for a Tacoma that has lasted me 20 years.
    10
  324. New car prices are unaffordable for working families. My wife and I have three cars all pushing 10’years old or older, oldest 20 year old Honda. We refuse to pay for a new car because we have no need for one. We’d like a new one, who wouldn’t? The American dream cannot afford housing, utilities, child care, groceries, and car payments. We aren’t in a depression, but we are close.
    10
  325. Great. Let them go out of business.
    10
  326. I refuse to pay "market adjustment" on any car. It was a scam when inventory was low, and an even bigger rip-off when inventory is up.
    10
  327. I was a GM certified and ASE certified tech at a Buick Dealership for 10 years and the final straw for me was getting stuck constantly with warranty work, I left there in 05 and became a Trucker now with almost 19 years and 2 million miles under my belt, best decision I ever made!!!
    10
  328. They have the new limited engine grenade feature to!
    10
  329. I added a 3 1/2 inch lift and a 1-inch subframe drop and increased the spring rate up to 800 lb per square inch and put a fantastic tune m1 camper on it. Truck handles it beautifully and really looks fantastic
    10
  330. Yep, way too much. Just bought a new Titan sv 4x4, fairly loaded. $10k in options. Very nice... $48 k! No turbo for me, just a strong and durable v8 motor. Yahoo.
    10
  331. Just take care of your car and it will last. It’s not so much an issue of VW, it’s mostly dumb owners who skipped service is an issue.
    10
  332. I’m tired of these lazy car manufacturers, not putting color interior in their cars. This black leather interior, with color inserts, is their ideal of color interior. I like to see all them go back to the interior design of the 60-80’s. With all the same color headliner, steering wheel, seats, door panels and carpeting. Bring back beautiful, stylish and comfortable interiors!
    10
  333. Definitely holding on to our ZERO option 2011 XL Ranger with manual everything including the transmission. In 112k miles it's been mechanically bulletproof.
    9
  334. Keeping my 22 SR 5 its paid for does what i need it to do.
    9
  335. I’d take the buyout and move , liked the the frontier if manual transmission was still available, still a good looking truck
    9
  336. Just bought a 2023 SV 4x4 with the Tech/Convenience/Fender packages...my drive-out price was $34K after tax/title/license/fees/etc...only thing I wish it has is LED headlights; but these Nissan seats are superb!!! I had ordered a Ford Maverick XLT EcoBoost AWD, but Ford delayed it again -- the Nissan price was only $2K more than the Maverick (that didn't have heated seats/steering wheel, spray in bed liner, bed utility track, Fender upgrade, 60/40 rear seat, etc...)
    9
  337. They are just very boring. Boring to drive, boring interior and exterior design...
    9
  338. They were ripping people off for years! Its called karma. They are stuck on stupid!
    9
  339. Toyota wants to be like JEEP with that quality and prices.... good luck with that...
    9
  340. The markup in price and savings from the Mexico plant make up for it to Toyota the most in debt company in the world
    9
  341. Wait wait wait...... are you telling me.... that no one wants to pay $55,000 for a basic 4 cylinder truck?
    9
  342. Got mine for MSRP in February. It's worth every penny, especially considering I will never sell it.
    9
  343. 15 Minute Cities is the goal. Communal squalor for us masses and public transportation too!! Yay!!
    9
  344. Straight to the point no bs
    9
  345. I have the same one and I paid MSRP and i still felt like I overpaid.
    9
  346. I totally agree with you. The Mazda brand is really good quality built vehicles, and in particular the Mazda 3. And the Road manners and handling is way superior to any Pick Up Truck or SUV. But people just wants these "Tanks" to show off, or sit higher, which gives them the perception of being more secure, but the Crash tests tells another story. The sad story of these compact Sedans / Hatchbacks is that they are slowly but surely being phased out due to poor sales.
    9
  347. Dealer greed + Corporate greed
    9
  348. Army green color needed. Same old white, black, red, light blue.
    9
  349. Inflation - look at the prices of everything - especially houses and rents. Just awful.
    9
  350. Thats alot of money your going to lose buying one of those sitting that long when u pull out of the dealership
    9
  351. I bought one Pro 4x on Wed here in New Iberia,la at Leblanc Nissan . It was 5k off.
    9
  352. It will probably take a change of leadership at Toyota for them to recognize how bad they screwed up.
    9
  353. The dominance of Japanese automakers has come to a dramatic end. Don't copy your competitors. Nissan married a French man, Toyota making junk turbo engines, slow Hondas catching fire, Mitsubishi making fugly Pontiac Aztec duplicates, Suzuki can only sell bikes, Isuzu can only sell their trucks!
    9
  354. I'm in Lynchburg VA and I know exactly what dealership that your at!! This place has been a rip off for years!! I moved from PA to VA 10 years ago and the prices of any new truck was and still is ridiculous!! Their prices were nuts even back then!! I see their commercials on TV and I simply laugh and SMH!!
    9
  355. WOW 😳.....Hope they plan on keeping that one! If I'm paying 50k I want a 4x4 Way over priced
    9
  356. I've got a mazda 6 too. Love it. The only thing I would ever trade it for would be another mazda..
    9
  357. I have owned 3 to include a 2005 v8, 2011 Trail and just got a 2024 Limited. Just retired the 2005, but I cannot think of a better car which is why I grabbed a 2024 before the 6th gen arrives in the coming months. I do hope the 6th is as good as the 5th, but expect there will be kinks to work out - and will assume a fully loaded 6th will push 60k or more.
    8
  358. I love the steelies with my Bronco. I thought I may have swapped them out, but I didn't. I got rubber floor mats from my dealer. Not too expensive especially with FordPass points.
    8
  359. There were a lot of stupid people paying those crazy MSRP prices but they are gone..either their cars got repossessed OR they can't qualify for a loan any longer...same thing with C8 Corvettes..they are sitting on the lots not selling..the supply of low IQ with wants bigger than their bank accounts are starting to dissappear leaving dealers struggling.
    8
  360. I love those 18inch wheels with bigger rubber instead of 20in low profile off road tires, plus Trail Boss has two inch lift,,best looking to me over more expensive Chevy models
    8
  361. Let em sit a little longer. When the 24s roll in you'll see price slashing.
    8
  362. If I’m not mistaken all 2021 and up 4Runners come with LED high/low beam headlights. Nice 4Runner by the way. I’m hoping to get one soon.
    8
  363. dealerships should be paying their techs top dollar given the price the charge for service. the local dealer wanted almost twice the price for some work that a local family owned shop ended up doing.
    8
  364. Dealers are on crack
    8
  365. This truck definitely has potential, but I do not trust any current GM product, they’re just not reliable anymore & haven’t been for years now.
    8
  366. I hope Nissan doesn't fold. In a perfect world they would reorganize, put out a more reliable product, and regain public trust in a once quality manufacturer.
    8
  367. i want a new silverado but i ain't paying 50k for it. i just want a shortbed standard cab work truck not a Mercedes.
    8
  368. Last June I found a 2022 SS 1LE with a manual with 3100 miles just 30 miles from my house.The owner traded it in at a Cadillac dealer for a Blackwing. I bought it on the spot, cost $50k out the door. These cars were getting hard to find at the time so I didn’t argue. I can’t even find one for sale now. The car is fantastic. Needs no upgrades except maybe a change from run flat tires when the time comes. A Mach1 with track package would have been $65k in 2023. I am so glad I found my SS 1LE. I couldn’t be happier with it.
    8
  369. It's not selling because it's trashy and cheap looking, just look at that big cheap plastic grill, reminds me of the Tundra,
    8
  370. Your thumbnail perfectly summarizes my feeling when I see the prices the dealerships are still trying to get
    8
  371. I like it better in the black as opposed to Lunar Rock like everyone is getting. Great video!
    8
  372. sometimes i wish i had a newer car then i watch videos like this that make me thankful for having a paid off car that's still fairly nice.
    8
  373. Hell couldn't freeze over solid enough for me to pay MSRP, let alone over that and I'm talking back when things were crazy.
    8
  374. ... $11.25hr for auto tech in 2004? As an UN-armed security guard in Scottsdale, I was making something like $10hr. $11.25 seems really low for someone with skills.
    8
  375. By doing add ons on slow movers, the dealers are getting what they deserve.
    8
  376. Engine recall and way overpriced is a bad combination. They shot themselves. My local dealership has tons of trucks on the lot.
    8
  377. And you need a mortgage on it. Nope. Pass.
    8
  378. TK's garage is famous for this type of click bait. I mean that's how he gets paid, click bait and views.
    8
  379. Last year, we sold our 2021 SR5 for an Avalon hybrid because my job was far and didn’t appreciate me. My wife couldn’t stop talking about it and she curbed a tire on the Avalon and it blew. Replaced it, couple of weeks later we bought a 2020 TRD Off-road. Already dropped $4500 in mode to kind of make it into a desert cruiser. Edit: my job back then fired me, and I found another that pays me well, appreciates me and keeps me at home. So not much gas used lol
    8
  380. Please continue to keep us informed. We were thinking of getting a Ford Maverick , but now am wondering if we will still consider this down the road.
    8
  381. Just bring back a basic 22r 5 speed and basic everything.
    8
  382. The best thing Toyota influencers could do is feature vehicles on lots of bottom feeder dealers.
    8
  383. I paid $38k for my 23 TRD off road base model 😆
    8
  384. Probably the best built, longest lasting , lowest upkeep 4wd you can buy in the US now that the Land Cruiser is gone. Made in the plant next to the Land Cruiser Prado. We were in a list at our local dealer for a white SR5 premium 3 door and waited for 6 months for one to come in before giving up. Wife decided she wanted a truck instead anyway so all is good but was shocked by the demand as well as how much they are going for currently. We thought getting the current 5th gen before they go turbo or turbo hybrid was worth doing… apparently so did the rest if the world. Haha
    8
  385. I remember seeing a new Civic Type R before the pandemic for $33K at the dealership. The salesman even offered to slash $2000 off. I should've gotten it. The prices on these today are insane now!
    8
  386. Honda knew about these issues for years and did nothing but deny, deny, deny. Let Honda go bust fixing it all. Karma for deceiving everyone.
    8
  387. Ive been wanting to get one of these for months now but Nissan refuses to run special financing or rebates on them. I think this is the best truck in the midsize segment by far. Love the Ranger. My first truck was an 85 Ranger 2wd manual with the 6 foot bed. I parted ways with that truck almost thirty years ago and I still think about it.
    8
  388. The problem with the world, everything is inflated. This is global inflation for food, goods, labour, parts and so on. Nothing will be cheap again if you dont vote these socialists who want humanity in slavery. Honda civic in Canada is selling for 35 to 47g for touring model. These men are doing all sort of corruption to get people out of their houses and cars for climate change. Americans need to understand this is worldwide attack against freedom. This is what trump is fighting against. Canada there is massive anger at the cost of living, this is happening all over europe as well.
    8
  389. Tax time will create slight bump. Wait until summer. Absolute Armageddon. Do not buy yet
    8
  390. Lezbo green was never my color. 2020s army green now that’s a color right there. Also, these prices are outrageous I remember in January 2021 buying a brand new Trd pro tundra double cab and paying $48,880 for it. How anyone can justify $71,000 for a half ton Pick Up is insane to me. to give another reference my parents bought a 2014 fully loaded Denali GMC Dooley brand new for $51,000.
    8
  391. I still think it's BS how jeeps and trucks became luxury rides. It's stupid. Just keep to what made them marketable in the first place. Trucks and jeeps are a joke today. And they can set and rot.
    8
  392. Best daily driver, typical homeowner, on road truck Got 25 Black edition with vented seats and power sliding window Love it, zero regrets
    8
  393. I like the updates but I do agree that the Pro’s need a 2” lift
    7
  394. @aclock, it isn't a truck, it is a mid-sized pickup made in the USA, more, probably much more than what you drive. Most likely can haul as much or more than what you drive/own. It will out most everything on the road in adverse weather; Rain, slush, snow, hail, mud. Has a roomy, spacious cab/interior, a comfortable ride, will pull a family sized boat, a two horse trailer/with horses, a camper. Rarely breaks down, 22 mpg City, 26 Highway, has outstanding resale/trade-in value, nothing like it. 5 of them in my family, driving with a big grin on their faces. btw; we have all owned/driven large pickups “TRUCKS” in the past as well as other mid sized pickups “TRUCKS..”
    7
  395. Housing,rent and vehicles all went up
    7
  396. GREAT VIDEO most people have no idea about the advertising social engineering concept. i am willing to look the mazda now, reliability is everthing.
    7
  397. They are all one years old. Discount should be around $10,000 from msrp.
    7
  398. 😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😂😅😂😅😂! That's what I think of the "Cyber truck".
    7
  399. My dealer is doing the same except the vig is $3300. I won’t do it.
    7
  400. the dealers are hoping for a government bail out again.
    7
  401. I was holding out for a 2025 Forester, but after seeing it, I think I'll go with the 2024 autumn green wilderness. Now it's finding the best price and I don't need a loan so hopefully when they see I'm able to pay cash they may drop the price at the dealerships in my state of TN or KY
    7
  402. Frontier a better buy and better trucks
    7
  403. That was the last good escape! Then they rounded the model up and it no longer had that SUV look
    7
  404. That’s why I bought a 2024 4Runner Limited best SUV on the road for the money . Money well spent!
    7
  405. It doesn’t promote quality, as a subcontractor it take a lot more time to do as for yourself so I charge good but know my job will be excellent and customer happy
    7
  406. I pay about $900 a year for my Tacoma. But I ride my bicycle more than I drive the truck. Have less than 500 miles on the truck since Jan 1, but over 1200 miles on the bike now.
    7
  407. What are your thoughts on the Honda V6 recall of at least for now 1.4 million vehicles. I’m discussed being a 2023 Ridgeline owner, I decided on the Honda brand because of that buttery smooth V6, now this !!! The light at the end of the tunnel for me is that I’m leased it so if my Ridgeline is affected I’ll just turn it in at lease end, I’m half way through, thanks for all you do with your videos.
    7
  408. These BMW's just like Jaguar and Range Rover/ Land Rovers ( I had a hard time even remembering the exact names of those last two turds) are absolute maintenance nightmares waiting to inevitably happen. They've got more sensors, ECU's, and relays than the international space station and rest assured they are going to go wrong and usually it's far sooner than the idiot drivers of these ever imagine. Generally when it does happen the amount of money it costs for a goofball mechanic at the dealership to fix or replace it all makes even the most strident trust fund douchebags that buy these "vehicles" wince at the price. This ultimately gives the owners a dose of reality that they really don't have near as many shekels as they thought they had...
    7
  409. I wish your channel would gain traction. I enjoy your personality
    7
  410. Don’t forget Mazda
    7
  411. The future ain't what it used to be?
    7
  412. Thank Carlos Tavares
    7
  413. Well, the merger with Honda didn't happen. Chances are someone else will soon swallow up Nissan for a much cheaper price tag. Circling the drain for sure!!
    7
  414. People aren't Buying because it's ALL Become Over Priced Junk. Hard Pass.
    7
  415. Why would anybody buy a $50k truck you can't do any actual work with, with a four banger, and when there are so many other trucks flooded the market?
    7
  416. it is the same way where I live - there are no deals to be had on a Bronco.
    7
  417. These days of added costs and "mandatory" options, makes buying used (private) more and more attractive each day, however, the preponderance of people who are in the market for a new vehicle, don't have many financing options when buying private, so the dealers and financing companies can capitalize on this and take full advantage of the market. Dealerships are the cancer of the automotive world, always have been, always will be.
    7
  418. Too many are still trying to keep up with the Joneses
    7
  419. I do feel like I got ripped off on my maverick deal, now looking at this video. However, I did use that small window to move 10 ft gutters
    7
  420. I am holding out until repo-Geddon is running full bore. The Four banger with a turbo will wear out quick. So many Options for buyers now that a new one off the lot is not even worth considering. They can give that 47,000 dollar one away before I buy one.
    7
  421. The wv’s that are made in Germany are the best ones
    7
  422. I would pay $20K for a 2024 TRD 4X4 Tacoma with 10K to 15K miles. That’s what they are worth and they are built cheap and I hate hate the 4 Cylinder Turbo Engine.
    7
  423. You can buy a 2025 Jetta S with some options new for around $22k. That's why VW is selling cars.
    7
  424. 4:20 The last time people got free stuff, first thing they did was give it to big corporations. Second thing people did was complain that big corporations are getting bigger. Amazing.
    7
  425. My 4Runner started off exactly lie this. Check out what I've done to it in the last year to completely change the look and functionality. I was actually able to make those wheels look pretty good with Hyperdip. Subscribed for the upgrades...
    7
  426. Those are Ram truck depreciation rates.
    7
  427. The servicing costs on those pigs is insane as well. They drive nice for sure, but for how long? The only one I would consider is the M340i. Turbo straight 6. Pretty stout motor. They use to the 530d for highway patrol in Australia and even 2nd hand flogged out ex police beamers have stupid price tags on them at the dealerships. I'll stick with my V6 Camry 👍
    7
  428. No other job, do you have to buy thousands upfront for tools. They are better to become plumbers, electricians, welders, or ac tech. These industries need workers and auto tech are knowledgeable in equipment repair. These jobs have good wages, 50,000 or more a year., you don't have to buy thousands of money on tools before starting.
    7
  429. The Honda dealer in Simi Valley CA wouldn't sell me a Ridgeline black due to the stop sale. I'm older and the Ridgeline is perfect for me and I owned one before. Today i called the Honda dealer in Valencia CA and they said the Ridgeline blacks were not included in the recall. I have the sonic grey ridgeline black in my driveway tonight and am so happy. I have a new blue F250 diesel 4x4 that will go up for sale shortly. It's way too much truck for me to drive around town and commute to work. It does look awesome and get a lot of comments. Good luck to you all. It looks like there are both ridgeline haters and lovers.
    7
  430. If you look hard enough in any industry I think you will see the effects of the C o v i d rundown. Many have not picked up, especially hospitality, and many never will. Peoples attitudes let alone the supply chains have been changed forever, and not in a good way.
    7
  431. You pay a lot of money and for it you get high depreciation, high insurance rates, in a vehicle that has questionable reliability, high carbon footprint, limited range with high anxiety, in a vehicle that could burn your house down. I have better places for $100,000.00
    7
  432. I have a ‘22 Mojave that I got a great price on (new)…it’s serving us well, yup slightly underpowered for towing a smallish camper, but out here in CO it does 98% of what I need it to do…it’s been reliable, fun to drive and has utility…not bad
    7
  433. I've had two Frontiers in the past and am in the market for a new one. But the price has gotten ridiculous compared to what I paid for my 2017 Pro4X. The Frontier is a great truck, but I'm not sure I can pay the Pro4X price this time around since it's so much higher than before.
    7
  434. Carlos Tavares stands on the balcony of his sprawling beachfront estate, weeping gently as he reflects upon the plight of thousands of CDJR workers.
    7
  435. Anything for click bait? Maybe the dealer just got the trucks in two days ago, your buddy wants to move them "Hey, make a video touting how many trucks I have to move, to make they come in and think I'm desperate to move them"
    6
  436. Tacoma officially died in 2024.
    6
  437. After driving a 2019 Sierra Elevation for 3 years and now driving a 2023 Canyon Elevation i can say the Canyon is like driving a sports car compared to that huge Sierra. It stops and turns on a dime and is quite agile. My Canyon is as quiet as a church mouse 🐁
    6
  438. That is a really nice looking truck. The interior is a bit dated but I like it.
    6
  439. Great review, looks like a nice truck
    6
  440. Bought mine a month ago love the shit out of my pro 4x toyota can suck it with 7k mark ups on stickers at least frontier you get alot more for less money.
    6
  441. Why people would need such a vehicle makes no sense. Spending 70k for a vehicle is like robbing your future self.
    6
  442. Great video! Looking forward to the Ranger comparison, especially driver seat height for us older buyers. Maybe a side-by-side comparison? Knowing the history of electrical issues coming from Mexican made automobiles, I would opt for the Tremor. Just my 2 cents.
    6
  443. You know what ford stands for don't you hank? Fix it again tony.
    6
  444. My wife works for Stellantis corporate and she’s actually pretty high up, she said this is all Internet rumor and the supposed discounts are not going to happen and have not been and will not be planned. She said dealers are taking 15 to 20% off of MSRP on their own with no direction from Stellantis.
    6
  445. Amazing now they have security chasing you out for exposing these corrupt gouging cons, I would had stood on the public sidewalk & filmed their over priced junk & if security would had told me yet to leave I would had told him to go fly a kite. I cant stand any dealerships period!.
    6
  446. Muscle cars aren't going to be around much longer. Glad you got one before they go extinct.
    6
  447. Most of you here who criticize the content producer for his qualms with the elite class, Ceo's, and assett management firms are too naive, unintelligent, and apathetic to understand what Blackrock is , ESG, who Larry Fink is, and most certainly what Fink's early life history is....
    6
  448. I have a 22 sr5 . I put 27,000 on it in year one . Other than the gas mileage sucking……The thing is a tank and I actually think it handles pretty well for the size . My plan is to keep it forever. This truck will definitely hit 500k with my commute. I think for 40k sr5 is a steal. Yea the seats aren’t great but I have been in the higher trim models and for 5-15k more it doesn’t feel that much nicer. Interested in seeing what toyota has in store for the new land cruiser and 4 runner but I won’t be getting one. 5th gen will be one of the greats for sure . Cool video !
    6
  449. The ripped folks off long enough....Karma!!
    6
  450. I thought about being a mechanic when i was young. Real glad i stayed in construction.
    6
  451. I know when I was a kid lying in the rear widow area with everyone else not buckled in the first thing we worried about was our back up camera…
    6
  452. I am still running a Nissan frontier with 320k on it, a 2004! The day I pay 75k for a pickup please have me evaluated at a local mental hospital.
    6
  453. When the windshield glass was out they should have checked all around the perimeter for any issues, instead of fixing just the area in question.
    6
  454. i just traded in my 2014 tacoma limited with 70k on it for 20k and got a 2022 trd pro 4runner lime green with 17k on and love it will not buy a 4witha turbo lol
    6
  455. Just more overpriced junk.
    6
  456. I don't like the rims or the plastic grill. I love that they stuck with the drivetrain though.
    6
  457. Nissan have mostly been rubbish since Renault bought them
    6
  458. how much did the increase the price I 4 years
    6
  459. Like the front end, not a fan of the new rims. Best change, for me, is the availability of the 6' bed on the Pro 4x.
    6
  460. I went to a fleet six years ago. Best decision ever. I am hourly. My gross is lower but I make more per actual hour worked. At the dealer I worked 60 hours a week and grossed 20% more. I still work 60 hours a week. 40 at my day job and 20 on side work. Way better off.
    6
  461. I own the woodland,we like its mileage and power,up here in ND the tires are great in the winter.
    6
  462. My 2020 Camry ruined my love of Toyota products. Nothing but excuses for all its problems. With the recent quality of Toyota products, my distrust of the company has doubled. If Toyota pulls its head out of its butt, I might think of taking another chance with their product again.
    6
  463. Fantastic car! I don't know if you are aware of this hack, but if you slap a couple of K&N stickers on the back window it will give you an extra 5hp each.
    6
  464. Great video. I'm so glad for nissan.. finally, been waiting a long, long time for this.
    6
  465. Hopefully they make it right regarding the trailer hitch. Also the rearview mirror does go up and down like 3 notches. So kinda fancy for a mirror I thought. Still waiting for my hybrid xlt with the luxury package and sunroof. Been 13 months, 2 left to go. I drive 3000km per month with carpentry tools. This truck will pay off really. My van is $55 cad per day on gas. The maverick will be around $15-$20
    6
  466. JUNK!
    6
  467. Bought a Mazda CX 5 premium plus last week at Mazda of Clearwater. Got a nice discount and overall good experience. Totally opposite experience than I was expecting from a dealership.
    6
  468. Local Jeep dealer has 3 base Gladiators. No power windows, no power locks/keyless entry. Only options are the automatic, hard top, spray-in bedliner and a paint upcharge. All 3 cost $45k MSRP. You can buy a loaded Colorado for less then that.
    6
  469. I almost bought a new ridgeline but decided to go with a Ranger. Ranger was cheaper even with the FX4 package at $42230 as of June 2024. The Ridgeline is a good option though.
    6
  470. If German car companies are truly suffering, it’s only because of their reliability shortcomings. If they offered consistently reliable, luxurious, and non-gimmicky vehicles, they would sell. Lexus has no problem selling their luxury vehicles because although they are not the most exciting, they are some of the most reliable. Porsche has no problem selling their super expensive sports cars either. They are reasonably reliable, luxurious, and down right exciting to drive. They have a good formula going.
    6
  471. the good techs leave to higher paying jobs. It's not a bad job for someone just getting in the workforce but you have to find a way out. Definitely not a job you would for 30 years.
    6
  472. Man. I would be pissed....sorry that happened to you and your wife. When it rains it pours! I hope Honda sees this and reaches out to yall!
    6
  473. Just got a b2300 super clean 04. such a lost art with these 5 speeds
    6
  474. Those prices are absolutely ridiculous, there is no justified reason to buy such obscenely overpriced vehicles
    6
  475. It's a lot of truck, a lot of gas and a whole lot of 💰... Definitely out of my budget... Unless I feel like being irresponsible lol
    6
  476. I bought the Black Edition, after looking at every midsize truck, being an owner of Dodge’s 1500 it was easy dropping down… love the truck, best ride out of most, the bed and the truck especially I use all the time just awesome, the under back seat is so useful when shopping and putting items under the seat… my only complaint is the ground clearance, not having a shift and just wish it was a bit more truckier looking .
    6
  477. The Maverick is not a real truck anyway
    6
  478. Overpriced unreliable junk.
    6
  479. You know its the truck for you when every time you see it you say DANG! I guess that confirms I will be getting one. 😁😁✌✌
    6
  480. We considered a Ridgeline for a while but low ground clearance, shallow bed and price point all a no go.
    6
  481. Mazda probably the most reliable brand now.
    6
  482. I worked for a Chrysler Jeep Dealer about 10 years ago and was treated horrible !!👎
    6
  483. Ordered 6/26/21, reordered 9/16/22, my third build date is 2/20/23. After 19 months I’m still skeptical. Glad you got what you wanted. I guess I’m just going to have to wait.
    6
  484. Brother, just wait when the stock market crash to rock ‘n’ roll😂🎉
    6
  485. The BNPL repo's are in a different class than your standard repo being reported on by a big bank. The difference is with these BNPL nobody is taking a financial loss. There isn't negative equity involved. So while these are technically "repossessions" they don't really count. This is nothing like when a Uber driver gets his Telluride repossessed and he still owes 47K when the car is only worth 31K because of the high millage. Pretty sure the entire business plan of the BNPL lots is to sell and repo the same car several times. They are happy when you miss a payment.
    6
  486. Over priced rows of fuel guzzling uglies. And, here in Australia, they're utes (utility vehicles) They're not trucks.
    6
  487. I bought an actual hardbody, new, 1991, base model, no AC , manual transmission, no radio, no back bumper, 7K. I have driven for over ten years, only replacement part, a fan belt. Those were the days, not today.
    6
  488. I pass , keeping my 4 runner
    6
  489. I wouldn't report it. Ya, he was being a dick but he has enough problems going on right now. Just let it go.
    6
  490. I went to look for a car at a used car and wanted to pay about 6k and pay cash. The owner showed me a 98 Chrysler and 02 Chevy Cavalier, and told me that he didn't operate on any cash deals and showed me the gate.
    5
  491. The bed on the Ranger is kick ass
    5
  492. Good point on the driving feel , they feel substantial when you drive them. You got torque and economy with a nice interior for not a lot of money. Kinda funny how the Chinese carmakers are going that way instead of copying the japanese.
    5
  493. Will never happen but would love a 2 door Gladiator.
    5
  494. I picked up a Titan for $49k drive out. These prices are insane. I bought a new 2023 4Runner Limited for $44K. A steal compared to these Tacomas
    5
  495. It looks ok but I had higher expectations from Toyota for both the Tundra and Taco. But they'll sell like hot cakes as usual
    5
  496. Are whole economy is discusting!
    5
  497. I have an 08 ranger. I took out the vinyl armrest and just shived a little Titan cooler as an armrest with storage. Also put in a dorman heated seater under the vinyl seat. I love the truck! Great video!
    5
  498. A repo man passes my house everyday and I’m scared of him D: he stares at my car and I know what he thinking but I’m paying my car payment on time lol
    5
  499. I need 65% off NOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉
    5
  500. They did the bare minimum to get it to market. Guess I my 2020 Taco will be last.
    5
  501. New cars just like homes, they are 20%+ more than they should be and it's going to collapse.
    5
  502. Your reviews are great 👍 Kiss my ass 10k markup for a regular GR
    5
  503. I have owned 2 VW Jetta’s and 2 Porsche models and all have been trouble free and feels solid when driving. Funny thing my Lexus LS 460 was the most problematic car i have EVER owned. Multiple problems and dealer could not find a fix for it. Stats are not always correct.
    5
  504. I own the 2023 ranger lariat tremor. Great truck , I love it. It’s carbonized gray. I to wanted to wait for the new model ranger raptor but Ford is so slow on buildings these trucks. I probably won’t see the new model until 2025 😮 So this truck does everything I want so I may trade it in for the ranger raptor or just keep it. This truck actually has a higher tow rating then the ranger raptor. 😊
    5
  505. How about neither! Prices are absurd.
    5
  506. I worked at a few Ford dealerships during and after I got done with Ford mechanic training. 2 year program. Worked up to and through journeyman level. Wasn't the worst work I've ever done but toward the bottom. I was union in missouri. Pay was decent. Moved to south Texas and applied to a couple dealerships. The pay in and around San Antonio was abysmal. Including all pay and benefits Texas wages were about 38% of what I made in St.Louis region. Ended up doing higher end stereo systems at a radio/tint joint for about double what dealer paid. Definitely enjoyed life more for the 2 years I was down there. Ended up getting epa certs and did hvac part time too. That all was 20 years ago. Never worked at an auto shop again since then.
    5
  507. None of them are American made and should be sent back for a refund
    5
  508. When those are on the lot for 365 days, bring a birthday cake to the sales manager.
    5
  509. Unfortunately, I believe new vehicle prices will just keep going up. And the used auto market is even worse. Find a dealer that will at least negotiate a bit.
    5
  510. Better off with frontier and better motor I would stay away from turbo engine
    5
  511. Sales are easy when they cut prices and offer dirt cheap lease deals.
    5
  512. Here's my thoughts. They do it because Idiots pay it!! I will never buy another New TOYOTA! HELL NO!!!!
    5
  513. It's easy to imagine the Giulia Quadrifoglio increasing in value. In about twenty-five years, well-maintained examples will likely be considered classic cars and highly desirable, much like the 2000s Subaru Impreza WRX STi is today.
    5
  514. I’ve seen a dozen Cybertrucks on the road and not one of the new Nissan Z
    5
  515. I agree, for that kinda $$, might as well get a Colorado LT or Trail Boss
    5
  516. I have a 2002 automatic ranger. It's been sitting for two years. 247k miles on it, fixed everything on it, driving it now.
    5
  517. Overpriced Jalopies. FORD Found On Road Dead
    5
  518. I took my 2019 tundra in for service and saw all the new ones in the showroom. Every one of them are $70k+. That’s absurd.
    5
  519. I have a 2022 4Runner Limited and love it. I live in NYS with Winters and road salt. So I got it Waxoyl undercoated at the dealer. Limited tires are ok in snow with full time 4WD. I'll replace them with K02s when they wear out. Plan to drive it 300K miles and move to Florida some day.
    5
  520. Not a GM fan
    5
  521. Just now traded my 2019 cavalry blue sr5 v6 Tacoma for the nissan 2024 Boulder Gray Pro X frontier
    5
  522. I still dig the 10th Gen Accords but the new 11th Gen Accords look rather bland to me.
    5
  523.  @jessiesineath7702  I have a 23 SV crew 4wd. I like it, wouldn’t mind if it was a little bit easier on gas.
    5
  524. Somehow, someway, Toyota & Stellantis have become partners in failure... good work on the video.
    5
  525. Honda was our only hope and they went and made a front wheel drive truck 😂
    5
  526. Love my 2023 Jetta, getting 44 mpg on the highway. It’s a great car.
    5
  527. Your points are well taken. The problem is Stellantis doesn't do much (anything) that makes good sense, unless the goal is to destroy several iconic American brands and eliminate about 50% of their dealer network. Look for BYD to buy Chrysler and produce lots of cheap (tariff free) EVs in former Chrysler plants in Canada, Mexico, and maybe even Michigan or Illinois.
    5
  528. It's gonna get worse too
    5
  529. Just bought a 4x pro with luxary package and love it. TBH i'm suprised anyone is buying atm. Rates are ridiculous even with good credit.
    5
  530. You should definitely sell it...to me! Haha, congrats on your purchase. Seems like a great truck, I just wish Ford would make MORE of them!
    5
  531. Was looking at midsize trucks and ford offered barely anything off Ranger XLT so I got GMC Canyon 7500 off MSRP better equipped
    5
  532. I got one of these about 2 months ago(company truck) and it’s even better than I expected. Installed an additional 2” lift. It looks and feels so premium inside and out. The turbo4 engine smokes the 5.3 V8 in driveability and responsiveness. The low-end torque is just so good! It will cruise north of 80 without hardly touching the gas pedal and will get 25mpg highway if driven correctly. My only real complaints are lack of interior storage and the mirrors are too small.
    5
  533. They have 3 Bronco Raptors at my local Ford
    5
  534. Call Safelite, and have them replace the windshield with an acoustic glass Winshield. They will properly seal the windshield with better materials, and you will have a much quieter cabin as well. No, I don't work for Safelite.
    5
  535. That is the beauty of being one of these 'too big to fail' outfits, you do not need a plan, just wait to get bailed out. Think it will be different this time though; they seem to be tanking on purpose. 🤔
    5
  536. Hard pass on any all electric vehicle.
    5
  537. hahahahahaha 6 meters double cab monster truck pick up WHY WOULD ANYONE NEED THAT ?
    5
  538. Yea I’m a truck driver I had to leave my apartment because they kept going up on my rent. It was either my car or my apartment and I could afford my car but I couldn’t afford the rent so now I live in my car.
    5
  539. Mum has a 2018 Mazda 2, only a 1.5 but 115hp and is fine for a compact. The Red is "Soul Red Crystal Metallic" and is a sought after colour here in the UK. Mum's 1.5 has no turbo and manual gearbox and even handbrake (parking brake) so simple for a modern car. Even the battery still has opening filler caps to top up with distilled water.
    5
  540. Not for StellAntis, actually, not for any Brand that sells Electric Vehicle's ( EV's )... I will not sit in an EV, let alone buy or sell. 👨🏻👍🏻🏎️🏁🚩⛰️🌲 I will only buy V8's, and StellAntis Killed it.. V8;s for Ever
    5
  541. My wife and I are on our 4th Ranger. It’s a 2011 XLT super cab 4X4 with a 4.0 V6 auto trans. I had it 2 toned, silver over red metallic, with matching interior. I added a K&N and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust (this increased my freeway mileage from 19 to 23mpg with the cruise set on 75mph). I also added adjustable air shocks, LineX spray in bed liner, running boards. I put Cooper Discoverer A/T tires. Our “baby” is almost 12 years old and only has 35K original mileage. I have the oil changed every 4K miles with Mobile 1 full synthetic and the front and rear differential, transfer case , trans flush every 30K miles. Yes it drives my wife crazy. But it has to be done. Yes, it only has 35K original miles
    5
  542. Crewcab pro4x
    5
  543. Prices never go down no matter who's president. Remember those fuel charges on delivery goods after 9/11? Those never went away. They just stopped calling them that and added it to the regular price.
    5
  544. I see now why you said I should get one of those lol it is a sick looking truck. Love it
    5
  545. I bought a Tacoma in’18, because it was more truck than the Ridgeline. The Ridgeline bed was too small, plus it was $10,000 more than the Tacoma.
    5
  546. I've owned the GMC Yukon and Denali and have both turned out to be junk. I later went with Toyota Tundra and never looked back. Despite the Tundra's being built in the USA.
    5
  547. I told my Toyota dealership no last week just keeping the one I have.
    5
  548. Very comfortable ride. Purchased in 2016 and have no complaints. Shopping for my 2nd one.
    5
  549. I'm glad their greed is their ultimate just downfall.
    5
  550. It might not be related, but today I was checking prices on a special Chevy off-road pickup. One of the Chevy dealers in my state had a $2,000 mark up on it! Oh, excuse me, price adjustment!
    5
  551. Miss them 2018 prices
    5
  552. I bought a new 2017 Mustang V-6. It had 300hp and would get 32mpg on the highway. It was a fantastic motor. Ford discontinued it in 2018. I traded it for a 2020 Mustang GT with the 5.0. I could never warm up to the plastic oil pan and drain plug on it. I traded it for a 2022 Dodge Charger Scatpack which had a metal oil pan. Some days I miss the 3.7 V-6 Mustang and wished I kept it.
    5
  553. Nice trucks...... insanely high prices. No way anyone should buy those
    5
  554. Looks like Toyota is living on its past reputation instead of its present offerings.
    5
  555. About the price, just wait another year and then make an offer they can't refuse.
    5
  556. THIS or FOOD! LOL That is awesome, bro...and you ain't lyin'.
    5
  557. Great little truck.I have 1999 with 211189 miles and still running fine.
    5
  558. It's pretty simple. Have the 3.0L Hurricane engine as an option while keeping the price in the 45K range.
    5
  559. NO WAY!!!
    5
  560. I drove every midsize truck on the market last month. It came down to a Canyon AT4 or a Frontier P4X. The turbo 4 wasn't what swayed me ultimately to the Frontier. It was the overwhelming number of issues current owners of those trucks are having. From bad windshield seals, denting roofs, camera modules going out, infotainment system dying randomly, no start because of bad updates, a/c units going out, it went on and on. Not saying the Nissan's are perfect, but the number and frequency of problems are much, much less. I do agree the Colorado / Canyon are the best looking midsizers out there, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on one.
    5
  561. I prefer the previous generation FK8, Apparently the FK8 is faster as well.
    5
  562. Thank you - my thoughts exactly - I'm a car guy my whole life and I'm sick of SUV
    5
  563. Mavericks are way overpriced if you don’t order a build. I have a Lariat Hybrid with basically every add on and it’s $36,925 before tax
    5
  564. Excellent cars, out of the pack, for people who love to drive well and feel confident in the active safety that Alfas give you
    5
  565. I was so fortunate to have purchased a Chevy Bolt EUV with much the same performance specs as this KIA, and several packages, $32K after taxes. I LOVE my Bolt EUV.

  566. Theres definitely something special about the Ranger's. Im blessed with much more expensive vehicle's but my 07 bought last year really makes me happy. Ive completely restored it and its just like new.
    5
  567. HAHAHAHAHAHA $60k for a Tacoma. Hysterical. Who is buying that.
    5
  568. IMO NADA is a criminal org who has colluded with every dealership to illegally suppress auto tech wages. they need to be investigated. Also here in FL auto nation owns most of the mercedes dealerships so you cant quit and get better wages somewhere else. IMO that is a monopoly.

  569. Retired construction worker here , we had to be competitive when bidding out jobs , if your price was too high then you don't get the work but , if your realistic about what you NEED to make a profit then you stay busy all the time ! Refusing to lower prices on new vehicles realizing it could mean their demise tells me there's something else going on here ! It just makes absolutely no sense to operate a business in such a way ! Even grocery stores are smart enough to be competitive with each other.

  570. Not too terrible but I’d want a better deal

  571. When I was a high school student in the 1970's, I worked at a full-service Standard Oil gas station when gas stations were still auto repair shops. A classmate of mine worked at the Shell station down the street. We would compare work stories. My boss was an honest guy. The owner of the Shell station not so much. My classmate would tell me how his boss would change oil on a car, wipe the oil filter clean with a grease rag and charge the customer for a new oil filter when in fact he never changed it. He charged a young lady with a VW Bug for winterization including anti freeze. VW Bugs were air cooled and did not have anti freeze. All sorts of shady deals like that.

  572. So you can buy a house or buy a truck your choice!

  573. I have a power sliding window on my F150 and MIGHT have used it a hand full of times in 8 years.
    4
  574. Lol hey Ford you can't live in it. Remember when trucks were like 8 to 10 grand. Oh and you could use them for work.
    4
  575. Such dealers deserved to lose on all their invetory & due to them scamming us these last few years.
    4
  576. I drive the LA freeways every week. Over a total of 88 miles I see at least 20 vehicles with expired tags. Most of them are not old junky vehicles. Lots of Lexus, Mercedes, BMW etc. these people aren’t paying their license fees they surely aren’t paying their car payments. It’s bad.
    4
  577. Ford dealers are definitely not caving in, I tried.
    4
  578. My local dealer (Canada) has 4 durangos with rebates ranging from 6700$ to 11k! Same with the grand wagoneer they slashed almost 10k, the only that have markups are those hybrid wrangler and the salesman hinted at it being "subject to haggling" 😂
    4
  579. I just bought my Nissan Frontier V6 engine PX last month and I🤎🧡💛love💜💙🩵my truck👍😁
    4
  580. I've been waiting to see this for a long time. Great job!!
    4
  581. Housing unaffordable along with motor vehicles
    4
  582. Not going to lie, the ride is MUCHHHH smoother than my 4Runner. And the practical zero start up noise is A1.
    4
  583. Insurance rates are too high!
    4
  584. 4th view ans first like. Common folks hit that thumbs up button.
    4
  585. Great looking truck, best looking in this class for sure. Bang for the buck, I would go with the Colorado Trail Boss. I keep vehicles for a long time so realiability would be a concern.
    4
  586. I'd take the Ford!
    4
  587. It's nice, I like the overall stance of the truck but.... I'm still holding out for a Chevy Silverado Duramax. I find that to be the best combo for me
    4
  588. The markup kills my interest. No I’d pass.
    4
  589. You have to be a complete moron to buy any pickup truck over $40,000 I don't care what they say inflation the day is the time is different look at look at unless you had a lottery ticket
    4
  590. You look like Eric Bana.
    4
  591. Second owner buyers are looking for a bullet proof Tacoma to go off-roading in. These are too expensive to be used like they used to be. These buyers have gone elsewhere.
    4
  592. Depends on where you live. Where I live in Texas the police hate bicycles and will take any chance they get to ticket you. Seen another mugshot recently where a guy got arrested on sight for running a stop sign and riding on the left side of the road. Riding on sidewalks is also a ticket and so is not having a front white light and rear reflector. On top of that there's no bike lanes so you have to be smart not to get run over and then there's the high crime rate so you have to carry a loaded gun and be ready for the worst. Thinking about selling my ebike and maybe I'll start riding again when I move to a bike friendly state.
    4
  593. Pro4X Crew Cab all the way!
    4
  594. Toyota needs to drop their prices to something more people can afford
    4
  595. Enjoyed the kwik review. Been wondering if some sound deadening insulation can be added to the underside of the hood and firewall. I hadve been concerned about the window sticker mileage ratings, but continue to hear that, when driven conaervatively, mpg is quite good. Thanks for the review.
    4
  596. A Ford dealer near me is still doing mark ups on Bronco Raptors.
    4
  597. You gotta be nuts to spend that kind of money on a truck
    4
  598. Keep an eye on the timing chain cover for leaks. I noticed oil up on the passenger side valve cover when I first purchased it NEW. Thought maybe AC leaking somehow. Degreased the engine bay and never saw it again. Fast forward from 2018 to 2022. I noticed more oil up on the passenger side valve cover. Took it to Toyota. Still under warranty. They replaced the gasket and told me that the sealant that they are giving is an upgrade......more expensive. Not sure why this is still a problem. Only had 23K miles on it. They had to drop the rack, oil pan, half shafts, intake, valve covers, and front of the motor (of course) to replace it. Made me about sick to see my bullet proof 4Runner disassembled!! I do not like others wrenching on my cars. I would suggest degreasing the engine and keep a check on it. If it goes, you want to make sure to catch it while under warranty. For the nose dive and body roll I put on Bilstein 5100's. Helped alot!!!!! Also, replaced the tires with Michelin Defenders. Mine is a 2018 SR5 Prem. with 4x4. So, pretty much the same as yours as far as the bones. This is my first 4Runner, had been wanting one for years!!! Wife always said it was too trucky. She likes this one. Other 4x4's we have had - 88 Bronco II, 1999 Explorer, 2001 Pathfinder 5MT SE, 2002 Pathfinder LE
    4
  599. Wait till the flood of new Tacoma's, and other Toyota models, hits the market over the upcoming months. It's ain't gonna be pretty folks!
    4
  600. Tariff time! 😂
    4
  601. That 57k XLT probably doesn't have the extended range battery
    4
  602. It's not just ford there all overpriced and people just can't afford it
    4
  603. I'd take the Ford too.
    4
  604. your right
    4
  605. I saw one at my Kroger parking lot. Very very impressive.
    4
  606. Looks like banks are also going down.
    4
  607. Very nice truck, love the color combination. So much better looking than the other one.
    4
  608. I'm loving the look of this truck. Great video
    4
  609. You can always just buy an old BMW if you like the feel of the ride. They are just like you said junk, like every other car.
    4
  610. We have the Lariat on order but I actually like the XL interior better, especially since cruise control is now included on the base unit. I think i’d paint my wheels glossy black, some bed liner and i’d be good. You mentioned the “wimpy engine” but if you look at the zero to 60 times, they are pretty close, while you are getting much better fuel mileage
    4
  611. They just increased the price of the new 2025 Frontier to 52K MSRP
    4
  612. Our dealer is advertising 12k off sticker. Then they add back 1k for "processing" and 2k for freight and 1k for dealer prep then there's taxes, tags and title.
    4
  613. Too damned much at tsrp.
    4
  614. Same as your Camaro. People just can't afford these toys anymore. There's nothing impressive about the Mustang. Same motors, same transmissions, ugly interior, repugnant rear end. The S650 was supposed to be a new model. Not a 3rd update of the S550. It's out of financial reach of the working class and you can't even tune it. There's no reason to update if you already own a stang.
    4
  615. No 4A, no rear seat vents, no ventilated seats and priced the same as GM twins that has those extra features, and a more powerful engine to boot!
    4
  616. If you pay markup, it’s your fault. Don’t blame it on the dealership
    4
  617. I have a 1st generation Ridgeline. It now has 170K miles and we actually use it on the farm. It can be used as a do anything vehicle and the AWD is a blessing, both on and off road. Heck, we even get 19-20MPG on the highway and about 17-18MPG in town. Can't beat that. I will keep what I've got until Honda comes out with the 3rd generation truck AND improves their quality. Until then, I'm keeping what I've got.
    4
  618. lol give you 1.5% off Normally we’d charge you extra
    4
  619. If you're in the top <5%, life has never been better. $100,000+ for a vehicle? Meh
    4
  620. No I wouldn’t sell for Nissan, they might not pay you even if you sold cars. The Sentra for $21k seems decent, but I’d buy a Corolla.
    4
  621. Love your video bought my 2022 sr5 premium in super white color with the third row seating absolutely love it really wanted the Trd off-road or the Trd pro but they didn’t had any at the time but find myself using the third row seating a lot so it worked out great !!!!
    4
  622. Honda lost me forever 8 months ago. Subaru gained a customer for now.
    4
  623. They burn their own house down.
    4
  624. now the shut is hitting the filthy rix FAN 💀💀🫠 i will laugh all the way up🤌🏼🤌🏼
    4
  625. What goes around comes around 😊
    4
  626. If you are doing the free oil change thing then change your plastic oil filter housing out for the aluminum toyota oem housing. Personally id rather rotate my own tires and change my own oil. I hate making an appt with the stealership and waiting on their time
    4
  627. Those trucks can sit there and rust away before I EVER pay that kind of money !
    4
  628. I would need to clear $200,000 per year to afford this truck. Average salary is $61,000 per year. Who is buying these things?
    4
  629. If I were in that industry I'm thinking somewhere like Kia or Hyundai would be a start for salesman
    4
  630. I have the 2023 SS with the 10 speed automatic. It is no slouch. Shove the pedal to the floor and the car will bang out redline shifts as fast as it can make them. Incredible!
    4
  631. Dangggg man. I've got 1600 miles on my white 23 xl after a road trip and so far so good.
    4
  632. First time here and subbed, great review man. Looking forward to the Colorado review, I ordered a 2023 ZR2 to replace the 2022. Couldn't resist when I saw all the improvements and I need (want) 430 lb-ft of torque👍🏻
    4
  633. All brands hurting! Dealers thought they could increase prices and neglect quality forever! Thank God! For Elon high teaching out of the box! New dawn coming with good days. Coming😂
    4
  634. Toyota 4Runners are SO last year......*grabs keys and runs to Toyota for a 4Runner*
    4
  635. Cylinder deactivation is terrible don't blame you for feeling that way.
    4
  636. I don't like is even though they down size their engines to turbo i4 engines , v6 turbo and hybrid vehicles, their cars still cost a lot to buy. and worse they recently got caught cheating... Again on their car crash safety test. Toyota is no longer the TOYOTA it once was😢
    4
  637. Clean that thing
    4
  638. YES Put in the Maverick lettering, did it on mine and LOOKS GREAT!
    4
  639. Ah that brings me back to highschool and during the first fast and furious movie which created a whole trend for these types of cars.
    4
  640. They are going to price themselves out of business
    4
  641. The instrument panel screen is a no sale.
    4
  642. Seeing as I just got my hybrid a month ago with the black appearance, I choose hybrid. My reliable 99 V6 Ranger was torture with ~16mpg. Granted I mostly drive in city hence the bad ranger mileage but the hybrid is knocking it out of the park getting over twice the mileage range with a smaller gas tank!
    4
  643. The guy that runs that dealership doesn't care whether his vehicles sell or not. I bet he lives comfortably too. Zero motivation to sell. The shoes analogy is a good one. How about real estate? A house that's been on the market over a year never stays at or just-under listing price. Usually multiple price drops.
    4
  644. I prefer not to drive an I.E.D since I am no longer deployed
    4
  645. I been researching Toyota Vehicles for a few mo. There are a number of contenders and reasons why I'd want one or another.. The 4Runner is one of the Top contenders. I rented one twice and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Of the ones I'm looking at, it's the worst with Gas mileage. But it's very reliable and the older engine/trans actually appeals to me because it shows that that combo worked so well that they kept it for 20yrs.. it inspires confidence that you can have the vehicle for 10-20yrs with 200k+ miles. The Trim that seems to have everything I want is the TRD Offroad Premium. Then I'll enjoy modding it.
    4
  646. Did the integra type s cannibalize sales from marked up type r? I'd rather get a GTI or Elantra N and save some money. Otherwise, I'd get a Golf R. Curious if you've driven a Golf R.
    4
  647. Let that eco junk rot away
    4
  648. I personally have a 2020 ORP and 2004 sr5. I would definitely ditch the pin strip, black out the sr5 emblem and do a window tint. I don't think those rims look that bad its the crappy street tires. I think if you had a more aggressive tire tread it would totally change the look.
    4
  649. I enjoy your vids and have watched a few now. I don't understand the unwillingness to deal when a veh has been on the lot over 60 days let alone 100, 200 and 300+ days!! And those F-150 work trucks should be $8-10K less, same w/those goofy looking Broncos. Does Ford corporate not want to sell their vehicles? There's a Ford store (dealership for those that don't know the term) about a mile from my house w/what I think (haven't tried to confirm, just what I think) is the same black Bronco Raptor w/the rear rectangle side graphics on their lot they keep moving around the front line every week or so. It's like..move it over here on the end of this line..that didn't work, put it on this line end, that'll do it!! Nope, that didn't work, let's move it to the middle..it still doesn't sell.
    4
  650. U wouldn't need to use the warranty on the Mazda. Great quality!
    4
  651. Great points made. Stellantis, as a whole tries to cater to every market. The problem is the quality overall, sucks. (Stellantis, not Chrysler exclusively) Most of the money for R&D has been sunken into other brands. It also isn’t fair to Chrysler loyalist who want something other than the Minivan but don’t want a Dodge. If we’re being honest, price and quality, and value sells. It’s really that simple lol.
    4
  652. She’s a beauty!
    4
  653. I bought what I consider to be my 2nd to the last car of my life in 2018. It's a Honda Clarity. I love it. Never had one issue with it and can't foresee buying anything new again. I'll go way back and buy something pre-electronic everything. Oh, and nothing catches fire.
    4
  654. A 20 year old GM 3800 will outlast that modern crap by 200,000 miles.
    4
  655. the melt done is the usa economy, inflation and priting of money
    4
  656. Bought Mazdas and Mitsubishi since 2006 I work outside sales ran them average of 80k miles regular maintenance and never let me down traded my 2018 Mitz outlander for a Silverado lt back in April think I did ok $ 35k OTD with $10k trade allowance on the Mitz , price was right and was ready for a change .
    4
  657. Nope, better and nicer options for that money.
    4
  658. Had one as a rental and we thought it was a great vehicle.
    4
  659. The best! Nice review
    4
  660. Got the 23 pro 4X love my truck! Fender system rocks, 3.8 sounds good, tRNA s is smooth and it’s very quiet. Got lifetime oil changes and warranty also , can’t beat it.
    4
  661. They will suffer the fate of other car brands. Lower the damn prices and bring back the reliable aspirated 6 cylinder. I will come back when they do that.
    4
  662. Yep ,why build stuff people want, keep building 100k+ trucks no one can buy .
    4
  663. Hard pass on both trucks. What’s that triangular thing in the bed behind the cab? It looks corny.
    4
  664. Love our 2019 Giulia Ti Sport Q4
    4
  665. They need incentives.
    4
  666. That’s my favorite color trd pro
    4
  667. Someone with bad credit will say yes as long as they can get financing.
    4
  668. They gouged us when they could and didn't feel the least bit bad about it. See 'ya.
    4
  669. No Fing way I would pay that much!!! 😂 idiots are buying them though at that prices. Gotta have that newest crap!! 😂
    4
  670. I absolutely love that car.
    4
  671. Marking up a Jeep Gladiator is crazy! Too many expensive trucks. Sad to see a dealer going out of business.
    4
  672. $75K for a Grand Cherokee is INSANE !!! Feel bad for the workers but they should have seen the writing on the wall and bailed out, the fat cats will not be affected!!!!! So sad
    4
  673. Glad they got it fixed and stuff. For a SUPER low budget and cheap, cheap, cheap truck these are actually really good.
    4
  674. I'm 61 years old. The most I've ever paid for a car was $3600 for a used 2003 Honda Accord . I bought it around 2018 and I still drive it. I also still have a 2004 Accord I bought for $2900. On the rare occasions I need a pickup truck I borrow one or rent one. I just never understood why anyone would buy new . 😂
    4
  675. I can see a Budweiser move here, with the consequences about to hit them.
    4
  676. Also, they had to scrape off foundation series etchings to sell them cheaper because the foundation series CT didn't sell out
    4
  677. Based on your experience what did you think of the power train compared to the competition in the segment? Great review, thumbs up!
    4
  678. 2.3 is a piece of crap...the 2.7 V-6 is better and gets same gas mileage.
    3
  679. Ah man that really sucks. I feel like Honda has stopped producing quality vehicles in the last few years and are still riding the reputation of ten years ago as a good brand...... Ya Know?
    3
  680. Seriously! Isn't time suppose to IMPROVE quality of cars? 😮‍💨 It's all about the $$$ for these folks nowadays
    3
  681. With what that's going on with the IRS, tax returns will probably be very late. Dealers in April are very screwed if there depending on the them. Most dealers have sure messed things up. Should be a lesson learned. FAFO.
    3
  682. These are really bad ass cars. Mine is a 2017 1SS 6 speed. Blk on blk. I bought mine optioned with the 5 spoke black rims, dual mode exhaust and magna ride suspension. Been my daily driver for 6 years, and about 66k miles now. Still runs and feels like new. Not one rattle or shake.
    3
  683. I have a 03 buick century and a 02 toyota sienna i have less than 8000 dollars in the both of them been driving them for over five years i tell people to not buy anything made after 05
    3
  684. Car prices became insane. Doubt they will drop much if at all and curious to see how this plays out. Last new car I bought was in 07 and never again.
    3
  685. Yea bad call, you just sold one of the most reliable vehicles available made in Japan. The days of V6 engines with less complicated electronics is drawing to an end. Should of sold the Maverick instead. I have a 100 series Land Cruiser with the 4.7 V8, it’s terrible gas mileage but the trick is not to daily it. I also have an old 2005 Lexus ES330 for commuting that runs perfectly.
    3
  686. Neither Honda or Toyota builds them like they used to & are coasting along on a reputation for older-gen/tech vehicles that aren't anything like the ones being built today. My Japan-built model-year 2020 Toyota was a problematic mess that I ditched after only two years, since the constant headache of getting things fixed under warranty wasn't worth the stress.
    3
  687. lower the price they might sell a few they're all overpriced as far as I'm concerned and especially Toyotas
    3
  688. The prices you quoted if the $$ just to get into one of these things…. Then u have ALL OF the other expenses…. The higher octane fuel, maintenance visits, PARTS( if you can even try at being a shade tree mechanic)…insurance! Insane numbers…
    3
  689. TESLA is THE ONLY EV to support it out on the road ...for charging. We just bought our 3rd.
    3
  690. Thanks for the comparison vid!
    3
  691. 1:57 I do know what the purpose of it is,,,,,All GMC Canyons come with amber marker lights in that area,, GMs not gonna make separate fender flares ,,,they saves thousands only making one,,,so when they go on the Canyons they are cut out and put in that area,,,on Colorados they are left like that,,,even the Chevy Guy on his channel didn’t know that,,that kinda blew me away,,I thought he knew everything Chevy!
    3
  692. I've watched a ton of 5th Gen videos, and this was thorough and concise. keep them coming!
    3
  693. Nice review. I have a 2021 4Runner SR5. I use both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I think all 4Runners since 2020 have both. Since the latest Carplay update I prefer it over Android Auto.
    3
  694. Price sells.
    3
  695. Unfortunately, the Pro-4 does not come with a full 6ft bed.
    3
  696. Sure I’d take the buyout, Nissan’s in deep water and going deeper. Can’t believe dealers are still marking up the prices, common sense says just sell it to move inventory. Would I buy a Nissan now, hell no, not until they stabilize. With all those people leaving there’s going to be loose ends and things not getting done. Things that Nissan owners need. It’s a half ass company now.
    3
  697. I ought a 22 TRD O/R 4x4 DC AT, in 2024 very well optioned, 27,800 miles, for $37,000, LOVE IT!! V6, wouldn’t have the turbo 4
    3
  698. I've been in the job market lately and paychecks are still in the 2010's for a lot of people/jobs. But there's crazy rent and car prices everywhere. This is the price we pay for money printing and runaway inflation. A car price really needs to be about 1/3 of yearly salary to be truly affordable. That means we need a lot more $20,000 cars and trucks.
    3
  699. I'd buy the 4XPro, but "must have a 6ft. bed, end of story.. Give us a little more variety, especially considering you're doing away with the Titan... You were so damn close with that truck, just "way" to conservative!!!!!
    3
  700. Not a fan of that Terra color....but maybe that's just me. However the seats do look comfortable
    3
  701. I want a singlecab or accesscab maverick with a 6 ft+ bed. I’m hoping someday soon that’s an option. Really like the gas mileage!
    3
  702. No bailouts.
    3
  703. Thanks brother, fixed my truck up quick
    3
  704. I have a 22 S king-cab 4x4 with the technology package. A perfect combination!
    3
  705. Son wanted new Tacoma just a week ago we went to dealer it had 17 Tacoma on lot and wouldn’t deal 54,000 for untested new vehicle told the guy we are not paying 6000 for dealer add ons guy said you have to FTC said we don’t so we got Nissan sv 2 days later with long bed and just about everything Toyota had for 36,000 out the door
    3
  706. Good to see you back! Have you thought about doing any other upgrades like an LED lights, upgraded radio, door speakers, different style mirrors, chrome grille & bumpers, etc?
    3
  707. A gmx at4 is 50 loaded
    3
  708. I bought a new 2023 SR5 premium. I paid MSRP of $45k. Had to pay sales tax, also. At the time my 4runner was the only one on the lot. Now they have about 10 on the lot.
    3
  709. Maybe a nissan-z if they have a deal.
    3
  710. Glad I bought my Tundra when the prices were SANE😊
    3
  711. That's a fleet color. You usually have to order one if you want a different color.
    3
  712. No way no way.
    3
  713. Well....lower the prices stop trying to screw people with the mark ups etc. I saw an advertisement for a base model tacoma for almost 40k. What a joke.
    3
  714. I traded my 2021 4Runner TRDORP for a 24 Subaru Outback Onyx XT. The 4Runner is awesome but too much of a gas hog. Who cares if it will need minimal repairs and will last forever? I can't afford $85 a week for fuel for the next 20 years. My Outback gets 31MPG highway and I couldn't be happier.

  715. $49,250 MSRP and dealer considering a $40,500 offer from me. I like the TRD Off Road, but how can I pass on a nearly 9k savings off MSRP?
    3
  716. I admit, I was curious about the gladiator when it came out, but since then I realized I would never purchase one. It’s not really a truck-truck and I’d rather have a wrangler on the trail.
    3
  717. YEP TOYOTA IS LOSING MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS ON THEIR TACOMA AND TUNDRAS ! AND IVE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS SINCE 1990 WITH NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS OR BREAK DOWNS ! SAD !
    3
  718. Nissan killed itself. Bad engineering, but worse... $70k for a pickup truck?? AYFKM??? They got the Versa right, then made manual transmissions and nice colors hard to get. No, I DON'T WANT A GREY CAR
    3
  719. over priced junk
    3
  720. Knock about $20,000.00 off the price tag and I might be interested. No? Oh well, I guess I'll just hang onto my high mileage '05 Chevy Colorado 4X4 with its five-cylinder engine and much higher MPG.
    3
  721. They are all parked across the bays like that I assume because if they were parked properly the customer would see how impossible it is to park such a huge vehicle and get out of the door without denting it every single time. Totally impractical.
    3
  722. broncos were the original quad back in the day. not some influencer douchemobile. which is what it is now.
    3
  723. jones act needs to go or be seriously updated and phased out
    3
  724. For my purposes, I would choose the Ridgeline over a Tacoma. The backseat configuration and wider bed being some of the main reasons. When hauling lumber or misc stuff it would get tied down in the bed, so the shallower bedsides are not a big concern. Hope your Tacoma continues to give you great service. They are great trucks.
    3
  725. Base or economy cars have improved dramatically in the last ten years, more than mid level and luxury models. I would take one IF it came in manual transmission with crank handle windows.
    3
  726. We have to continue calling out junk in all areas!
    3
  727. well duh. 90-150000 for a f in pick up truck? hahaha no thanks. I'll walk first
    3
  728. USCG rules
    3
  729. Toyota's 2.4L Turbo on EVERY single Tacoma model/trim level was the absolute dumbest move I have ever seen. That alone, imo, is the biggest thing behind the sales success of the Nissan Frontier. I hope Nissan sent a card of thanks to Toyota! 😆
    3
  730. I don't know what to think any more! I have always been a Ford man and had 2 Bronco's in the past and am currently driving an Escape. But at today's prices, and perceived quality issues, I'm now looking at Mazda and Subaru.
    3
  731. Hope the issue gets resolved in a timely manner without the dealership screwing you around more than needs to be. I have a Lariat Hybrid on order that I'm having second thoughts about. I also have a similar Ranger (2003 Mazda B3000 Dual Sport) to yours. It's my daily driver and it's been very dependable. The only issue I have with it is the gas mileage. That's why I ordered a hybrid Maverick. The gas prices here in California are astronomical. Anyways, best of luck with your issues. Thank you for taking the time to keep the community aware and updated 👍.
    3
  732. Awesome video! Ford is out of their bloken minds bruh!
    3
  733. These were made by ford to retail starting at 20k and with most upgrades they come to 26k at most but these stupid dealerships have a mark up of 40-50k on lease which I think is ridiculous and straight up disgustful
    3
  734. Ford proved there is a huge market for small fwd-based trucks. Honda just keeps missing the mark. The Ridgeline isn't a bad truck but it has never been what truck buyers want.
    3
  735. Let em eat em.
    3
  736. So true. All these vehicles are way overcharged for what they are and the dubious quality and durability they offer. Add to that the disgraceful service of dealerships, specially Ford dealerships, and you have the whole picture. I am not sure if dealerships are going out of business here in Canada at the same pace than in the U.S., but I see lots of Ford, Dodge and Chevy trucks piling up on dealerships yards for months and months.
    3
  737. Nice find
    3
  738. They are affordable vehicles but once they reach those dealerships that's where the problem is.
    3
  739. Dig the white. Can't wait to see what you do :).
    3
  740. The Bronco from the 60-70's was complete garbage. Underpowered, rust bucket, and top heavy. I have no reason to believe that todays Bronco is any better.
    3
  741. Compare to new Tacoma, chevy knock it out the door
    3
  742. front lower air dam/valance/lower facia is so they can get a few more MPGs on the spec sheet. GM says it unclips in less than 5mins so you can put on their $700 front and mid skid plates package.
    3
  743. I've got the 2023 ford maverick lariat tremor package in hot pepper red.
    3
  744. Toyota doesn't even MAKE trucks.
    3
  745. Well, it's cheaper than a Grand Wagoneer... Stellantis at its best.
    3
  746. First of all, great comparison! I was so close to getting an Expedition, then I backed out. I test droved Expedition three times, one thing that I didn't like was the visibility, I expected more visibility from this truck based SUV. somehow the visibilty it's just not there. seems like the A pillar on the expedtion its more slanted, that might be the reason.Pros: the horizontal screen with phyciall buttons and kobs, thats a big plus, way better than the vertical one. It's also more intergrated, rather than a tablet that coming out of the dash board. The Twin-turbo has so much power. cargo room, I like it how it can fold completelly flat. rear cargo glass opens seperatlly. Cons: visibility wasn't that good, the second row seat it's too slanted as well. Driver and passenger head rest doesn't adjust front and back.(only the Platinum and King ranch does). No foot actived cargo door opening feature. Blue cruise should be on Limited trim and up as a buying option not only the highest trim. Nissan seems like has better visibility, and second row seat more confortable. I wish they could make the screen more intergrated. rather than a tablet. Also cargo area, (make it flat, when the seats are fold down). Twin-turbo V6 would be nice if there is an option for Nissan, that could be more fuel efficient. There are rummors about both vehicel getting redesigned in 2024 or 2025. Looking forward to see both SUVs.
    3
  747. Thank you! Great comparison between the two! Definitely like the wheel / tire combo on the Ranger!
    3
  748. I just got my 2000 ranger 😛
    3
  749. Very nice man. Looks just like mine did when I bought it. I have a 22 TRD ORP. Installed RSG Rocksliders, LFD ruggedized cross bars, OME 3" lift, SPC Upper Control Arms, 285/70/17 K02 Tires. I already have 15,000 miles and its taken me and my wife to all of our surrounding states. We've done quite a bit of off roading with it and it is way more capable than I am as a driver. I love the 5th gen 4runners man. You made a great choice.
    3
  750. You don't see these anymore hardly and I love the color. Most I've seen are blue. Beautiful find!
    3
  751. What trim does everyone like the most on the 4Runner?
    3
  752. Dealerships are getting to be pretty worthless.
    3
  753. I had a Mustang in my early 20's. Just outgrew it. Unreliable great looking car for young people to rack up tickets and get on a first name basis with everyone that works in the repair shop.
    3
  754. I’m getting almost the same MPG with my Silverado. Come on Ford. Make it make sense to downgrade when the prices are way to high
    3
  755. I think the best looking modern mustang is the 05-09 model. Ford needs a new exterior design team!
    3
  756. New subscriber. I cannot tell if I got a reasonable deal or taken for a 22 Civic sport touring. I paid MSRP and 3k for dealership add ons. They black badged the car tinted windows wheel locks anti theft. Other places were doing the same plus asking 5k on top of that. So I thought I had got a good but some people have told me I shouldn't have paid the $3k for the extra stuff.
    3
  757. "Dealers ruin it for everbody else".. ..sad
    3
  758. Dude this is hilarious. I love your wife!! You're spot on regarding the 4Runner too.
    3
  759.  @AB-coyote  the Acura NSX is a super car The Corvette Z06 is a super car The Camaro 1LE is a super car super cars- luxury and performance in the extreme sense. Hyper cars.... are what your thinking of
    3
  760. cant beat these older rangers. I have a07 that I bought new. love my truck
    3
  761. 25k tops anything over that is greedy gouging & by the looks of that lot no customers tells me many people are not going to pay the ridiculous prices.
    3
  762. It's a great vehicle. I've had the limited model for about 4,000 miles. I'm a Chef, and I have to haul around crates of groceries and occasionally bits of kitchen equipment in the PNW, so the tonneau is great for that. It's very fun to drive, and I like that there aren't many on the road. The only car I cross-shopped was the Outback, but in the PNW, I wanted something I could find in the parking lot, which is a sea of Subarus. I love the unique style. I had a 2013 Ford Escape and a 2018 Focus (given to me). Both those cars were very poorly made, so I didn't even consider another Ford. If they made the Maverick as solid as a F-150, I would have considered it, but it seems they make them like their small SUVs (Ford doesn't make cars now), which are absolute, unreliable, fall apart junk. Not to mention the dealer mark-ups and wait times. I walked into the Hyundai dealership with cash and got the exact Santa Cruz I wanted within 2.5 hours.
    3
  763. I’m not really a fan, the giant screen is horrific. And to answer your question, I don’t care for the taillights either. I still think it’s better than the junky Camaro though, plus the Challenger & Charger are desperate for a redesign.
    3
  764. You not getting it, this is globally done the WEF and world government. They dont want car and house ownership,. this is happening globally due to printing of money. If the car companies fail, then people will be out of work and these men win. Inflation is for food, housing, energy , cars and everything. Nothing wont stop unless these men are stopped. They only plan is to destroy jobs with AI and makes us slaves.
    3
  765. Not a big car guy but that's a Nice looking car!
    3
  766. 140k rust bucket!
    3
  767. Thanks for the review. My 2023 Sr5 Premium does have a auto headlight and a digital auto dual zone climate control. Here in Canada the auto climate control is standard on the Sr5 Premium. Additional features are the reason I traded my 2018 Sr5 Premium for 2023.
    3
  768. 6’ bed with king cab best option. Crew cab backseat is small and useless along with the 5’ bed. Unfortunately, locking diff. Only on pro 4x. The 4 wheelers sit too low. They need a 6” lift to look good. If they sat higher, they’d sell better. 😮
    3
  769. I wish the TRP Off Road Premium came with ventilated seats.
    3
  770. I love my 2023 rtl in metallic Steel! Such a great fide, roomy interior and back seats can fit 3 people plus plenty of leg room and should room! Try to that comfort in a tacoma, frontier. Or Ranger.
    3
  771. Nice review man
    3
  772. 20000 over on bronco. I have 2 broncos payed msrp on both been offered 100grand for both. My 19 ranger payed 34 grand the dealer gave me 35 for it in 22 .same dealer i got my broncos from .

  773. I got the 2024 pro4x off road package in tactical green...love it!!

  774. My Cousin ride a Q5 . but she doesn’t pay a penny . her Dad does 🤭🫠

  775. I really like it. Something about base model says "truck" and this is good in my opinion. I will consider one.
    3
  776. RIGHT ON MY MAN !!!
    3
  777. The price is ridiculous... ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
    3
  778. The new generation Trax is good so far and you won't need to worry about being carjacked or stolen like a Toyota or Honda vehicle.......
    3
  779. You absolutely right 👍👍🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
    3
  780. I’ve had my hybrid since March. I’ve already have 10k on it. Love it! 40 to 45 MPG I haven’t had any issues with mine and I did get the lariat, lux pack First edition.
    3
  781. TSLA $5 soon 🎉
    3
  782. Actions, meet consequences.
    3
  783. The price points in this time in the economy.... 🤢
    3
  784. To much scamming and ripping off going on, and cost. For the price of some of these repairs, I can buy a whole garage worth's of tools and do the job 4 times over.
    3
  785. I agree. I love Fords, but I will buy a diesel 1500 High Country loaded for 20k less
    3
  786. If I were getting a well engineered, built with quality materials, and efficient yet powerful vehicle for that price.....maybe. But what you're getting is an overly complicated, hard, if not impossible to work on and maintain, plastic fantastic, planned obsolesence time bomb.
    3
  787. Agreed. I don't like the top hood either. I'm old fashioned I guess 😅 But the Toyota stamp is my favorite part! It looks way better than the Toyota emblem !
    3
  788. I LOVE the Tan interior!!!
    3
  789. You know what is tempting? A 30 year old 4-Runner after frame off restoration and still a bargain compared to anything new. Bullet proof engines and manual transmissions that can last another 20 years. You can get a fresh engine from Toyota right out of the box that will fit.
    3
  790. I would probably just wait around and try and get a Maverick. You did open my eyes a bit more to this vehicle. I think I will test drive one.
    3
  791. Does that have the 2.3 4 cylinder engine? Probably going to replace all my front end parts as well!
    3
  792. I have a 2008 frontier v6 with 39k miles. Runs like a champion and pulls everything I throw at it. I also was able to get almost 31mpg on a trip from PA to SC a year ago. Normally i can expect around 17 through town which isn't horrible
    3
  793. You’re learning. If you want something done right, do it yourself. A lot of the service industry blows, so don’t support it. Wash your own car, cook your own meal, etc. You’ll do a better job with much better quality parts/ingredients.

  797. Consumers need to settle down and stop blowing their wad on new and overpriced vehicles.
    3
  798. 🤣I have those exact things with my '01 ranger xlt too. I still love my ranger and planning on getting another 01-02 ranger xlt with lower mileage, mines has 283,569 miles. Engine still going strong but the frame....not so good. Cool vid👍🏼
    3
  799. My expectations were low to begin with.
    3
  800. Half the people buy a new vehicles can’t afford them. I’ve seen a lot about the repo market booming.
    3
  801. The worst part that you didnt mention is those Broncos are built like garbage , Total RIPoFF . Take a Ford Escape , put bronco badges all over it and charge double , i cant believe how stupid people really are paying that much for a FORD .... Nothing but problems with those cars and Ford will not stand behind it ... If you bought one , your a sucker , if your gonna buy one ... JUST WALK AWAY ... Who am I ?... Ford mechanic but go ahead and tell me Im wrong and how great your Ford is .... Yeh Sure
    3
  802. Definitely not a mistake, best looking truck so far!
    3
  803. Glad is not the word, more like relieved; and this is coming from someone who WORKED at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM dealership. What has happened to Stellanis is a general out-of-touch hubris that large corporations, and in particular the automotive industry, tend to demonstrate. These guys spend time looking at success and not, WHY unsuccessful things fail. For example, why AREN'T people purchasing new vehicles? Versus WHY did the last customer purchase their new vehicle? If they did they would realize that they're not reaching a large enough segment of their potential customer base to move more units. They are profit margin chasing, rent-seeking, greedy, rotten capitalists!
    3
  804. Nice comparison. I have a 2006 4x4 Ranger and a Tremor on order. Looking forward to gettimg my hands on the Maverick and seeing the differeces firsthand!
    3
  805. My 2014 Mazda 3 has 410,000 miles on it. Original clutch, no engine work done. Anyhow, I dropped collision and comprehensive around 300k miles and it saved me 800 a year. Only liability coverage now.
    3
  806. The entire industry is woke and out of touch! An EV Hummer.....really!
    3
  807. I saw the pricing and ordered a ranger
    3
  808. Just got our 2023 Tacoma Trail Edition last friday ans its freaking awesome.. only one thing I don’t like about it coz the fog lights ain’t included!
    3
  809. Now days everything so expensive! I bought my Wrangler 2022 56k. (Canada)Yes it was awful purchase. But too late 😂 however even tho I want to change my vehicle the value is so high. I would love to get a bronco but the price is insane 😅😅😅
    3
  810. here in Central Arkansas Pro4X are still being advertised well under 40k. and at least in my case, they will sell at that price with very little negotiation and work the deal if you have a trade to offset dealer add ons. add on was $1299 here. they took an additional $700 off truck and added $500 to trade and drove off 39,925 final price.
    3
  811. Just discovered your channel. Great video of a vehicle that’s always been on my consideration list but I always pick something else. I am curious to see how many bugs the next gen 4runner will have and how long they take to get worked out before it becomes as reliable as the current gen.
    3
  812. Push start on ALL MODELS!
    3
  813. For that price you can buy a nice European luxury car. And they wonder why American brands are tanking
    3
  814. This country is in a major downward spiral. I retired from an old very respected company that in the early 2000's decided to make all their products in China to save money. There is no such thing as quality anymore. I always go into everything now days trying to figure out the scam.
    3
  815. Very nice truck. But severely overpriced even without the mark up. I’ll just keep my 3rd gen.
    3
  816. I purchased a 2023 Dodge Charger R/T with blacktop, silver, and 9 grand off the suggested price, in Southern California. They forced extras on me, so blew 3,000 bucks on LoJack and Nitro tire warranty. Still totally worth it. Shocking end of an era. My wife and I will enjoy riding around this summer. I’d like your opinion. Thank You.👍😀
    3
  817. Informative, you know a lot.
    3
  818. Sell them and fix later....
    3
  819. My brother had a early 2000s Ranger with manual trans. I liked it a lot. He previously had a series of small Toyota PUs. The Ranger was way better. There's going to be competition for the Maverick from Toyota and others. I'll wait until then to get one and get a lightly used one.
    3
  820. How much were these trucks back in 2006? I know inflation is a thing but I bought my 2006 Dodge diesel 4x4 for 32K in 2006. I'm still driving that thing. Will these new overly priced and overly complicated trucks still be on the road twenty years from now?
    3
  821. Some idiots will buy them 😂

  822. I buy a truck to work out of. This would suite my needs. Thanks for showing a work truck!
    3
  823. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS. Government is mandating manufacturers to install drunk driving technology in all vehicles by 2026. Ford and Volvo will have it in the 2024 lineup. This isn't free to do. Blame the people you voted into office.
    3
  824. 💯 the Frontier. It’s a solid Truck. I own a 2024
    3
  825. $5k market adjustment. This dealer still believes it’s 2021! 🤣
    3
  826. Never prepare. Never save. Never invest. Never spend less. Never look ahead. But go nuts and blame EVERYONE but yourself when there's an issue. This was insanely stupid for the past many decades it's been common, but STILL it goes on.
    3
  827. This mindset is everywhere. Food prices too. People are starting to say foff.
    3
  828. Should have kept the tremor. It's was a beautiful truck off road or not. Nice street truck to me its not a true off road do to bad ground clearance I bought the tremor for the looks and price point great deal and fits my life great..
    3
  829. I like how everyone poo poos on American made cars such as Ford and GMC for reliability issues but now you got Toyota and Honda with all of these recalls and government sanctions and only a few Youtubers are giving press to it why the truth is looking at the recalls and voluntary notices by the manufacturers All of those things matter not just the volume because sometimes a recall can be an easy fix, take ford, they have a lot of recalls or notices but when you dig deeper, it’s not anything as serious as your engine freezing or something catching on fire, it’s the rubber falling, or something cosmetic. To me Toyota could have one recall a year, but if it’s replacing the entire engine that’s way more serious.
    3
  830. $37K for that little Buick?!
    3
  831. I got a 5th gen 4runner to avoid the new turbo engines
    3
  832. Cars are liabilities not assets... soon as you buy them they lose value... drive it and enjoy it as you would a new pair of shoes... but like a pair of shoes... once they're worn its just old junk...
    3
  833. Ford has lost a lot of credibility due to the amount of recalls they've had this year alone... It's enough to make someone think twice about buying one of their trucks
    3
  834. $29, 995 for a work truck. That's all they're worth.
    3
  835. What goes around comes around.
    3
  836. Great video. Your wife is super funny and I love watching you two together. You should have her on more. The 4Runner is awesome.
    3
  837. Ford having quite a bit of recalls again... Not a good look
    3
  838. I order mine on 9/19/2022 already got a vin# and a built day of 2/26/23. I'm excited I got the gas one xl with awd 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
    3
  839. I have an order for a hybrid Mav. I have considered cancelling my order constantly. It's my first ford and I'm not sure if I want to put up with the poor service and lack of professional service . As well as the other issues we see popping up. I figured if I get my truck and find it's not worth holding onto I will flip it. My GMC Canyon was awesome and everytime I went to the dealership for service I received a free breakfast,car wash and a loaner if needed.

  840. finally, the chickens have come home to roost

  842. I miss my 05 Sti. You got to ride it that thing quite a few times. I should have never sold it. I still have dreams driving it, such a good handling car.

  843. When I was in tech school I should have listened to one of my instructors when he said, "don't plan on getting rich being a mechanic." I was already wrenching on cars as a kid into my early 20's. After school I got a job at a small shop and after 3 years I got a job at a dealership. By year 5, I was already creating my exit plan from the industry. I was applying to all kinds of jobs and eventually ended up staying in the industry for 15 years. I was the dealerships master tech and they kept giving me raises, I could have gone to another shop an hour and fifteen minutes away from home and made more money. I was offered more money in the interview and ended up turning it down. I already hated my job as a mechanic, add an hour and 15 minute commute to working 8hrs a day doing something you hate? No thanks. It took me five years and taking the test 3 times, every time the company was hiring, and I finally made it into a union doing maintenance on the infrastructure that this company owns across many cities. I work all over the area, I'm in a different place every day, I get to work outside a lot, I get AMAZING benefits, pension, 401k tons of over time and I make TWICE what I was making as a mechanic. The determination and hard work to get OUT of the automotive industry was worth it. The ONLY way I would be a mechanic is if my wife was the bread winner and my income was just supplemental income. I worked with several older mechanics over the years who's wives had six figure jobs. If I could do it all over again... I wouldn't buy expensive tools, I would call in sick whenever I wanted, I would come in hung over, I would smoke weed on my lunch break and drink a couple beers, I would do WHATEVER I want! These dealerships don't pay you near enough and expect you to know how to work on complexed systems. I'd get to the point where I knew enough to do most jobs and then refuse to get any more certifications, and then i'd be the biggest jerk off technician at the shop. That's the only way i'd be a mechanic again. That industry is a joke, so i'd give them a joker. 🤣 Just kidding....kinda.

  848. Got my 2022 TRD Off-Road on Feb 28th. Really wanted a premium, but they all csme with packages pushing the msrp to 50k. Wasn't worth it to me. Currently planning on doing a powered mirror conversion though. Anyway, 21k miles later and the mods are piling on
    3
  849. I love mine, it’s not perfect but it makes a great daily driver. Mine is a 2021 model in the Sport trim with the HPD package.

  851. I watch a lot of automotive content and you're absolutely one of my favorite. You and I see eye to eye quite often

  852. Mazda build quality is excellent too. I wish they would make a small pick up for US market. They would crush it.

  853. Living in the hell that is California, you can add other 6-9k for tax and fees.

  854. white and silver/grey. wow can they be anymore bland basic and lame

  855. Glad you got the issue cared for, there’s nothing wrong with expecting what you paid for. It may be cheap in comparison to what you could spend on a truck but it’s not cheap for most folks. My XLT is supposed to be delivered in 2 weeks and I’ll keep my eye out for the issues you’ve mentioned. Thanks for the videos and the work that goes into them. 🍻

  856. I have a 2017 4Runner TRD Off Road premium. Love it. It has been perfect since I got it. Fuel mileage isn't the best but I'll live with that. But I am a Toyota fanboy in general and have thoroughly enjoyed everything that I have had from Toyota.

  857. I will NOT pay a markup of ANY KIND….PERIOD!

  858. I do the uniforms For cdjr an ill i see Are techs fixing Those amazon transit Vans. Nobody on The lot buying.

  859. Not only too 2:54 expensive, they are junk. Transmissions and motors with the cycling Der delete crap. You'll have I. The shop within two years.

  860. In addition to inflation, I blame credit cards for allowing people to buy things that they really cannot afford. It becomes a mindset. Most of the time, we are our own worst enemy with our choices. My first credit card was American Express. You had to pay the balance in full every month. Then after you built your credit score, you could get a Visa or Master card. Back then, many places offered 90 days- same as cash if you lacked the credit. I type this on a 3 year old phone that still works. The single Mom in your scenario probably has a much newer iPhone. Can't afford your lifestyle or lack any marketable skills, maybe don't have children. Then there's the auto industry. Rolling devices that have the same stuff as your phone. They're more expensive and much harder to diagnose and repair. CVT transmissions and automatics that fail. Get a manual. A clutch can last 200k miles or more unless you abuse it and the transmission itself will last.
    3
  861. Bought a 2023 Jetta Sport manual for a sticker of 22,800... The interior is basic but nice, the car floats down the road getting hybrid mpg numbers and handles incredibly well. On a 60 minute trip to the beach ⛱️ it got near 45mpg. The trunk is large, the backseat is roomy enough. Also the everyday driving feel and experience is just plain better than a corolla, or sentra...No CVT on the automatics... No bull. It really is a budget audi. That's why they sell.
    3
  862. I ride my motorcycles 90% of the time and for obvious safety concerns that was the only reason I bought it brand new. Plus the resale value is essentially the same 3 years later, as for cars, I’d never buy new. That 50k car becomes ~40k by the time you get home. It’s just such a bad investment especially Teslas, good luck holding your value on a cyber truck.

  863. The trail edition in Canada is way better than USA trail 🛻💨 they don't put that stupid ass storage in the back & you actually get heated seats something that would be beneficial (for most ppl) & you get the rails for the roof rack... Looks better & had options most ppl actually gonna use. It is nice that they added the rear locker so that's a + but I just like the off-road...it has the black headliner with the 2-tone 💺 but the SR5 has the light headliner with the dark grey 💺... I don't want to sound like a total hater cuz it's a VERY nice truck & has a good Stance but damn they didn't even give it Bilstein suspension 🤷
    3
  864. I would buy a Frontier way before the Ford garbage.
    3
  865. I paid $36k back in 2016 for a 401A S550, which had a 40k sticker price. In 2018 I traded for a 2018 A10 401A car and the price was $43k... now in a short 5 years this car has jumped $20k+. Ford has lost their GODDAMN minds.

  866. Got a deal on a new Jetta sport 23 back in July it’s really nice

  868. Sit on it, Potsy!!! Heeeeyyyy!!!! For $56k, I'll got to Bring A Trailer and buy and OG Bronco and rebuild it!!
    3
  869. Damn, those prices are high for those!! If I had kids, I would opt for a small class C motorhome. For about the same price you get a toilet, a sink, a shower, refrigerator, a microwave, stove, couch, tv and a bed! I don't think these should cost more than $50,000 tops!! And $50K should be with all the bells and whistles!
    3
  870. Just bought a 24 Tacoma 4x4 TRD sport long bed. 6600 off msrp and love this truck! Drives better than the previous tacomas I’ve had

  871. I think a lot of the hype about Honda revolves around their old reputation and doesn't quite reflect today's product

  872. Need that at4x those Starbucks speed bumps are brutal 😫

  873. Only mistake would be paying top dollar right now for them,even though they are awesome!

  874. Rev Nation is Awesome 😎

  875. Bought a used 2017 Pro-4x in 2018 with 17k miles and have had almost 6 years of trouble free use and enjoyment. Looked at TRD-Pro Tacos then and couldn't justify the price differential. Best decision I ever made.

  876. The trade is awful and expectations are insane for the skill and effort required. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of tools required.

  877. Vampire capitalists are consuming themselves. Who could have seen it coming? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

  878. GQ truck! It's not really practical for many regions of the country. Crazy economic times and dropping resale values.

  879. wrong move

  880. I do very little city driving. Hunt and fish, lots of woods roads. Tremor for me all day. Still waiting dor a build date...

  881. They think because it's antique they think it's worth a million dollars
    3
  882. Owned a 92' and 94', I traded in the 92' since it was one of last built in the Van Nuys CA factory and was truly a piece of junk. I did like my 94' much better but I had the V6 and it was pitifully under powered. I was hoping Chevy would update the Camaro to resemble the 94' styling since I really liked that look more than the other years. Sorry to see Camaro go!
    3
  883. We love our new CRV Sport Touring hybrid. Very solid feel on the road. As you mentioned, great styling. Like you, I wish the seats were ventilated. And only the gas versions come with a spare tire. The Sport and Sport Touring come with the Tire Repair Kit you showed. Oh, and the clown horn is a big swing and a miss by Honda.
    3
  884. All automobile dealers are becoming unrealistic. It seems like they have discovered by the last couple of years that WE DON'T WANT EV's and you can't force it on us. I predict the same thing will happen with these astronomical prices as well as them pushing turbo charged v6's that will take about half of it's lifespan away when we need a V8 to tow with (I'm in farm land). My middle finger is waving high at them. I'll keep my 2013 and 2017 GMC and RAM going as long as I can.

  885. Ford and GM tapped out on minivans long ago..they couldnt compete with dodge and chrysler inthat market..good on chrysler
    3
  886. Haha yeah they’ve gone down hill for sure
    2
  887. There are a couple of the reasons why they can’t sell them is there automatics and too many mark ups at the beginning
    2
  888. I have had 2 sv model frontiers, I bought a 2012 and then sold it and bought a 2018 ,I had a toyota tacoma 4x4 before I bought the 2012 and price was why I bought the Nissan compared to the Toyota, I drove the 2012 about 220 000. Miles and never had a issue other then oil changes, I drove my 2018 about 150 k without any issue ever and was completly happy with them, In 2020 I had a chance to get a new tacoma from a friend with under 10,000 miles ,so I sold my Nissan and bought his Toyota 4x4 sport for basicly a even trade since I got top dollar out of my Nissan, After owning 3 Tacomas over the years and 2 Nissans, I would not have a problem purchasing a new Nissan especially since the savings on the comparable model is probably 8000 dollars, I have to say I have never had any toyota in the shop for anything but a oil change either so in my hundreds of thousands of miles driving both vehicles, I may go back to a Nissan frontier next time because it has proven to be just as good a vehicle as any toyota I have owned,
    2
  889. Dealerships ruined it and will continue to. They should just get rid of the whole line all together.
    2
  890. 2003 maxima 6speed 175k hr swapped checking in.
    2
  891. Basic model at 50K?! A ford!? Ugh!!!
    2
  892. Glad I got my base xl for msrp. 8% interest hurts but my payment being under 330 a month makes it very bearable. The market is gonna give!
    2
  893. I ran into the same thing, leftover 2024's are sitting on dealers lots and they don't want to give any discounts. Ended up getting a 2025 jeep grand Cherokee limited with a $10,000 discount off sticker.
    2
  894. I’m sorry u had a bad experience! Mine has been amazing! If u don’t need it. U can make some money off it!
    2
  895. Horrendous mark up I would purchase a TRD sport 4X4 and install the Toyota lift kit and put 33 Inch tires and still save a bundle, most of those options installed on the vehicle you'll never use.
    2
  896. Dealers aren't saying it. Clickbait YouTubers are.
    2
  897. Trail Boss nailed a lot of things right for the price. I do wish they would have relocated rear shocks like they did on ZR2, but oh well. G80 is functional, but would still prefer normal rear locker.
    2
  898. Everything is shit now. I complain all the time, and as you say, I'm the asshole for saying something. If I tell you a price it will be perfect, and if I accidentally miss something, I'm going to fix it, no questions asked.
    2
  899. The Dodge/Jeep dealers here in Orlando are funnier than the best Saturday night live skit😅
    2
  900. The Trax is sort of an engineering marvel in that they're able to give you all that stuff and features for 25k and under. Only issue is that stuff and features comes at the cost of quality and reliability, as all that technology you get might not always work well, plus the engine and underbody might not hold up long-term. It's a nice car, it's just a matter of if I'd take that chance reliability wise, and I'm unsure I would.
    2
  901. I have the same exact Mav. Put sound deading in the back; made a huge difference. This truck is an incredible value.
    2
  902. To hell with credit. 67 years never used it.
    2
  903. really nice looking sub compact SUV
    2
  904. Those prices are comical! This is the reason why I’m still driving my 2015 Subaru Forester, ($26k new). I just put $2k into it with tires, all new brakes and front driveshafts, and wheel bearings, but after 10 years, thats ok with me!
    2
  905. I bought a Tacoma mostly for the resale, and utility. You are making consider one of these Mavericks in the future. Great video.
    2
  906. Nice looking truck too bad you are having trouble with it. My maverick hybrid so far is good, except the touch screen keeps keeps shutting off, and I have low-speed grabby brakes. Keep us posted. Good luck
    2
  907. Saw one of these with 1k on it at car max North Austin for 36k. They won’t retain their value. These dealers are dreaming with that ADM.
    2
  908. dealers just got dumb. they like having autos sitting there so they can get floor plan assitance from ford.
    2
  909. There are much worse deals available on new car lots. It used to be the used car dealers were hustling junk. Well damn they still are. Unfortunately for those of us that still require a vehicle for normalcy. These used cars are better in every way than new. Even if they require a fair amount of repair. What the hell is wrong with car makers? Are they doing nothing but drugs and drinking hard liquor all day? Just build good cars and trucks. Just do that. Then these used car joints will get back to reality.
    2
  910. I just got my 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor XLT in cactus grey (the exact same truck), and i have to say this is my dream truck. Its everything i wanted and more. Some will gripe about the old look and physical buttons on the dash but i think we're truly going to miss this compared to putting them all in one unrealiable screen. This generation Ranger has been tested for almost a decade now and its tried true and tested to be a great overall package out the box. I love it!
    2
  911. Buy older Toyotas. Everything before the turbos are pretty good. The 4.0 V6 2nd gen is great too. I was lucky to get a 3rd gen and I love mine. All the Tundras with 4.6 and 5.7 are all good. 4runners are still good if you can find them on the lot. Not the turbo 4s.
    2
  912. 53k is really worth 36k. That's all I'd pay.
    2
  913. Great vid!
    2
  914.  @revnation_auto  I bet.
    2
  915. I like my 2022. Wish it had a tow/haul mode but it does pull my 6X12 trailer fine. Ride quality and reliability is why I went with it.
    2
  916. I can't believe those dealers wouldn't throw a sick sick deal on those cars sitting for 500, 600, 700 days.. I mean THOUSANDS off...
    2
  917. And for 54k you get internal water pumps, overly tech dependent, too much plastic and probably low quality.
    2
  918. I agree with you on this one. I think that things are going to get alot worse unfortunately.
    2
  919. I installed the Banks pedal monster to my 2023....and wow! Big improvement. Much more responsive without messing with the engine's inherent reliability.
    2
  920. I just bought a new Tiguan and it’s a wonderful car. Never owned a VW. Impressed with the quality and performance. They are the sleeper brand that’s scooping up a big share of the market.
    2
  921. I thought you didn't like owning a base model?
    2
  922. Had a 93 ranger so I got a 97 after 93 was totalled. So reliable
    2
  923. Nissan, get rid of that POS CVT. I would definitely get another Frontier. I bought one for my son and he loves it.
    2
  924. U got it!!👍🏼👍🏼 congratulations!
    2
  925. I agree, they do make a very nice interior.
    2
  926. Yes, it was a mistake, now hand it to me and I'll take care of it for you.
    2
  927. It’s intentional
    2
  928. Great color in the trd pro and off-road
    2
  929. My BMW X5 was getting tired and expensive to keep....sold it. Did I get back into the new or 2yr old market? Hell no. A 1999 Cherokee is doing me nicely and it will for another 200k miles. Stallantis, take note, I'm not alone.
    2
  930. Cool police action... great review 👏
    2
  931. Why are the cheapest trucks seemingly always painted white?
    2
  932. The repair shop I go to for the annual oil change and state inspection have new people every year. I've been going to the same place for about fifteen years, yet every time I go there it's different techs. I do a lot of work on my car and know engines etc very good so I get to go back in the bays and talk with the techs. I can't stand TV the boob tube the device for the mindless people of the world. I can fix most things on my hemi magnum with just a few tools believe it or not. 8 mm 10 mm and Phillips head. My engine and transmission are solid. I've just had a few of the minor things go out like the ignition switch and a wheel speed sensor in the almost 17 years I've owned it. I know more about my car and engine and Chryslers than the friggin techs at the dealerships. I've worked on cars since the 70's and pretty much mostly owned Dodge vehicles. I still have my first car which is a 73 Charger that I bought in 79. I used to have a 98 Ram years ago and knew more about it than the techs. I'm a retired computer systems geek and shame them at the dealership Knowledge is power. Especially when it comes to vehicle ownership. 99% of car/truck owners don't read the manufacturers maintenance schedule and get ripped off by techs and dealerships for stuff they don't need. As they say, a fool and his money soon part
    2
  933. Cars are way overpriced. Add to that the low quality of American cars. I think it's time the US gets out of the car business..
    2
  934. Was just at the Toyota Dealer and was told they had no new trucks listed under 40k walked out and got a brand new Colorado for 30k
    2
  935. It looks like a scrap yard .
    2
  936. looks like my old ride,lol bud,thx,.
    2
  937. Just drove the ranger and Tacoma back to back. Ranger is more comfortable and better power but the Tacoma seems like it’s better built and while the backseats are smaller, they are more comfortable. Thanks for the review.
    2
  938. Ridgeline sales have always been at or near the bottom of the segment. Ford has proven there was a pent up demand for small fwd-based trucks, Honda just keeps missing the mark.
    2
  939. This is an excellent channel ! Not like many other channels out there handing out perks to sell-outs selling a brand that doesn't merit it ! Thank you! BTW, I'm a life long Toyota man but recently, I'm disappointed.
    2
  940. Great minds think alike I have the same truck coming color and all except lariat! Hope your tremor treats you well🎉
    2
  941. I like the blue and orange contrast!
    2
  942. As a Tacoma owner I can say 2 things negative. 1. Back fuel economy. 2. Not a great experience on the highway. They do last forever, hold value and are very dependable.
    2
  943. I just bought a 2023 Trail Edition in magnetic grey. It looks as tough as nails. I didnt do any research on buying a truck either. But I had a Toyota FJ Cruiser and I loved it. I knew the reliability of Toyota and I wanted a midsized truck that fit into my garage. I went to the dealer and they had a few Tacoma models on the lot. I chose the Trail over the Off Road because not only did it have the rear locker, it looked allot better in my opinion with the all black interior and bronze wheels and grill. Plus its more rare and will probably have a higher resale value. It also had all the options I could ever want.. technology package, dinamic navigation and upgraded sound package, rear bed lights, preditor side steps, bed cleets, etc. I instantly liked it and now I love it.
    2
  944. You have no idea how tempted I was to keep her for myself! 😊
    2
  945. Lol "big boy" needs to chilllllllll its insane how much they are charging for cars these days!! 😮
    2
  946. Yep, ridiculous
    2
  947. They all copied from the Tacoma.
    2
  948. Employees not paid no work
    2
  949. That’s actually really nice. Great review
    2
  950. That's INSANE. In Aug 2023 I bought my 2023 TRDsport 4dr 4×4 shortbed V6 below MSRP @40,000.00 LOVE IT.... 13,000.00 MORE for a SR with a 4banger is insane.... Not sure what interest rates are BUT at that price financed would be crazy money. I think ALL auto manufacturers are doing this. Like a Chevy GMC selling for 40-45,000.00 with NO cruise control. Are you kidding me. Total RIP OFF
    2
  951. The rest of the world gets Hi-Lux and Land Cruiser pick-ups with straight axles tough and ready to work. America gets these hideous plastic covered weak front end overrated and overpriced mall crawlers. I would never buy a new Toyota truck.
    2
  952. Im 100% Chevy, Fords are pure garbage
    2
  953. Like most multi billion dollar industries, systems are devised to scam workers and customers
    2
  954. No way!! I have the solar octane 23 model and did not pay markup. This is totally ridiculous. For a brown car on top of that!!
    2
  955. Nice car but put a 1le chin spoiler on the car makes a huge difference
    2
  956. Great video. Was sad to hear what you thought about the wheels. Have an sr5 premium and I like the wheels a lot
    2
  957. Ten years ago I paid for a Dodge Ram 1500 ..loaded it cost me 19. Thousand dollars they are pricing people out of the market Times are changing
    2
  958. CardinoRed
    2
  959. They are overpricing everything!!
    2
  960. THAT EXHAUST LOOKS LIKE TOTAL SHIT!!
    2
  961. Rangers are excellent trucks
    2
  962. I enjoyed the review, really down to earth commentary. Just like the housing bubble, and all the recessions the markets will adjust. With covid behind us the supplies are normalizing and this kind of price gouging is unacceptable. People are being forced to pay more money for rent, housing and the credit terms are getting longer to pay for high ticket items. Shop around for the best deals, join a credit union and don’t buy more than you can reasonably afford. Mass production is supposed to yield lower prices, but this is just insulting that concept.
    2
  963. A loaded Mustang GT is $68k. Everything is expensive. I agree, just wait until year and see how things look.
    2
  964. Wow... It's nowhere near that up here
    2
  965. I had the FK2 which had quad exhaust which I think the new one should have had looks much better than the triple
    2
  966. I guess, I won't be buying a Tacoma anytime soon. No sir!!!
    2
  967. Congrats man.
    2
  968. YOU KEEP THAT BORDER OPEN, YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CAR PRICES.
    2
  969. We tow a small 2900 lb camper and haul camping gear, so payload is important in addition to tow capacity. The Pro4X is too low on payload for my needs. I would opt for the SV 4WD, but payload still lags behind most of the mid-size segment. Nice truck, though.
    2
  970. 2008 R32 still going strong!
    2
  971. Do not feel bad as my 2023 tacoma trd off road 4x4 truck also does not have a oh crap handle or a sunglass holder in the headliner. But at least it has a power slid8ng rear window. I am thinking about trading my 202 Tacoma truck in on a 2023 GMC canyon elevation or canyon at4 truck. I am not happy with the fuel economy on my 2023 tacoma truck. Since i put down 32 grand on my tacoma I am willing to take a slight trade in loss to buy the better quality GMC canyon with the more powerful 2,7 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder engine and 8 speed automatic transmission which is far superior setup compared with my Tacoma 3,5 liter v6 and it's gear hunting 6 speed automatic transmission.
    2
  972. I have owned 4 Tacomas, but after years of cramped space in the cabin, poor visibility, horrible ride - I'm done. Although I too never lost money on these rides, there is another option with as good or better resale value and is far superior in every way possible except off roading - the Ridgeline, which I now own is an outstanding truck. It's like a Swiss army knife with wheels.
    2
  973. New Mustangs today have too many computer gadgets. It loses the muscle car appeal
    2
  974. That’s a beautiful looking Ranger you’ve got there. These are getting harder to find in my neck of the woods. I’m saving up for one as a dump hauler/Home Depot runner but people are hanging onto them.
    2
  975. I have an 87 Ranger XLT long box with the 2.3 and a 4-speed overdrive transmission and I love my little truck. It is not the fastest vehicle, but it has been the most useful thing I have ever owned. It has been in my family since new and was set up as my folk's tow vehicle and hardly ever got driven (has 63,000 miles on it now). I have people asking me every so often if it is for sale and I just say no, cause what would I replace it with? It is just too handy and a part of the family.
    2
  976. It’s not inflation, your dollar has been devalued by the Federal Government printing an extra $10 trillion dollars.
    2
  977. I love these cars i have a built orange one but would love another and just keep It stock and daily it
    2
  978. The Frontier is the only Nissan vehicle I would consider.
    2
  979. Let the overpriced crap rot…
    2
  980. I believe manufactures are getting rid of the low price cars because the profit margins.  Personally I would not have a problem paying a few thousand more for a low price, good quality base model. Poor management and greed. I'd fire the market analysis dept.
    2
  981. I hope Trump tells them to get effed.
    2
  982. I can afford it and won't buy it .
    2
  983. Toyota became a trillion dollars company once they sold trucks to supply the Afghanistan war , Iraq, so the rebels weren't a walking to kill . They were hard to get because of the war as most went to war,
    2
  984. They cooked 😂
    2
  985. Good that the Japanese kept the info-tainment reasonably sized for the purpose and instead put in tactile knobs and buttons. While arguably better-looking, I find big screens distracting as well as having to look to see where your fingers land. I'm not watching shows on it and I prefer using "muscle memory" to adjust audio, AC, views, etc. Safer too. The screen size war keeps escalating with other brands.
    2
  986. Greed and stupidity
    2
  987. I'd take the red one. Looks sweet!
    2
  988. They are way overpriced!
    2
  989. I’m glad they resolved ur issue!
    2
  990. If you are patient, best deals for older vehicles can be found at tow yard auctions. I have seen vehicles at these auctions similar to that ford truck that they want 8k for sold at tow yard auctions for 1-2 thousand. Just call around, the auction I attend has pictures of the cars posted on facebook every 2 weeks. Some are smashed, but many are not, and simply have engine or tranny problems that are fixable if you know what you are doing, and you can save money using junk yard parts.
    2
  991. I had a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, V8 Hemi....biggest pile of sh*t. I'll never by Jeep again.

  992. Public Enemy said years ago "Don't Believe The Hype". There is a bunch of folks who should have listened to that wisdom.
    2
  993. I think it looks good, Im just kind of over the Ford dealerships
    2
  994. Timing and trimline are your problems here. You bought when everything was high, and you bought the BASE model (SR5).
    2
  995. I think it's totally worth what you paid for it.. Beautiful Mav...
    2
  996. All automakers have priced themselves out of the market for average people.
    2
  997. 3 GRANDE OFF.....won't get me through the door!!....
    2
  998. That actually looks good.
    2
  999. They are delusional. If there isn't a minimum of $20,000 off it can rot. Twenty isn't going to make up for the 75/25 chance it will be rolling problem.
    2
  1000. I miss my 96 Ranger XLT RCSB 5M 2WD. Was underpowered but otherwise a nice truck. Looking forward to trying out the new Ranger.
    2
  1001. Multi Terrain Select and Crawl control is overrated. I've been driving the 21' TRDOR the past couple of years and been on a bunch of trails all over Appalachia. I've never once had to use Crawl control. The rear locking diff is all you need. Now, you'd think this Multi Terrain Select and CC would be in the more expensive truck, (Trail Edition). For the money, the Off-Road is the best bang for your buck except for resale in 10 years. There are a ton of 3rd gen TRDs but finding a Special Trail Edition that was only available in 21-23 should fetch a nice penny (in 2033). Plus, it's a great looking truck with factory lift, wheels and that Lunar paint w/ bronze is NOOOICE! For practical reasons, the Off-Road is a better truck and deal but long term value, I'd give the edge to Trail Edition

  1002. I wanted the Arteon Sportback but it wasn't sold in the USA.
    2
  1003. NISSAN FRONTIER ALL DAY.
    2
  1004. awesome choice, looks BA! I'm still waiting on my tremor, was this a new 2023 order if so what priority code? or roll over from 2022?
    2
  1005. Congrats for your new truck! It is beautiful! 😇
    2
  1006. Toyota was built on reliable cars people can afford. Get back to basics .
    2
  1007. Keep it
    2
  1008. Thanks for an honest take on the situation.
    2
  1009. Every truck/truck want-a-be should come with full frame and a tow hitch.
    2
  1010. Can't believe Fords updates on the 2023 Maverick, two week in production. This truck should be AMAZING.
    2
  1011. My OPINION! There's some focus on the new redesigned 2024 Tacoma and people in the market will wait and buy 2024 but It's makes much more sense to buy a 2023 and not have a turbo with all the parts and heat that will cause the reliability to tank. You can buy a 2023 for 10,000 less than a 2024 of the same trim. Dealers are marking them down 3,000 -5000 plus new ones are being market up 3,000 to 5,000 so difference is 10,000 your a fool to buy a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2
  1012. What needs to be mentioned here is, you have great hair, sir! 👌
    2
  1013. I bought a TRD Sport 2024 since April last year have 10,000 miles. No issues!
    2
  1014. Love it.
    2
  1015. Trying to get one but it’s been difficult. What a crazy time in the car market. It’s not the price but the markups.
    2
  1016. Nice looking truck! I was about to change my lariat tremor to an XLT tremor and then I got a build date 😂 might see if the dealer would happen to know anyone with an XLT tremor coming in that doesn’t want it
    2
  1017. The premium package is worth it!
    2
  1018. Toyota knows what they got. Lol. Epic fail.
    2
  1019. Love those rims
    2
  1020. What about cruise control, tow package, & the angle on the tail gate?
    2
  1021. Thank Joe Biden, Biden inflation
    2
  1022. I own a 2017 F150 Lariat that is fully paid off. Sure, I would love to upgrade, but it's not just the high prices keeping me away. Its the fact that these new models aren't even all that much different from the previous generation. There are some tech upgrades, yes, but the overall styling of everything hasn't evolved much. It'd be like buying something I already have. So I just keep my 2017, and I've gotten pretty interested in just keeping older vehicles looking and running well. Now I'm in the market for a lightly used Mustang GT. Because I'd rather pay for new parts on a cheaper vehicle. You will never convince me that taking the depreciation hit is worth it. You could re-power a truck for less money than you will lose on a new one.
    2
  1023. Amazing truck. Nissan is not promoting it aggressively. Rest of the industry is producing garbage Turbo and Hybrids.
    2
  1024. Sad to see all these great auto makers have become all over priced garbage.
    2
  1025. CarEdge brought me!
    2
  1026. They can't sell them because people don't want electric vehicles. People also don't want to pay that much for any vehicle.
    2
  1027. Nice Ranger. My 2000 Flareside extra cab 3.0 4x4 Ranger with Tow Package is still my favorite vehicle I ever owned 24 years later.
    2
  1028. Fords way too proud of their Vehicles I walked away from a few deals back in April due to $ 7000 market adjustment but they had over 100 units on the wasn’t too impressed with the Bronco due to recalls they were having also the engine compartment looked like they just it all in there doesn’t look right , ended up with a Silverado LT $35k OTD thought that was a fair deal . (10k trade allowance included)
    2
  1029. You seem really thrilled about it
    2
  1030. You forgot to mention....if you live in state with personnal property taxes, such as in Virginia , where you pay a whopping 4% on the value of your automobile , so on a 50k car , its $2,000 tax per year plus crazy insurance costs/ registration/ inspections etc etc. So wonder so many young people aren't bothering in getting a driver's licenses .... There is an attack on people with automobiles by everyone !!!
    2
  1031. Literally Told Everyone this, they said I was ignorant. I said, "Okay Whatever have at it." Sure if you have money and you use the Brand for income like Certain Youtubers, sure you gotta say great things about it yada yada. But None of that Matters. Market Data Matters. Power to Weight Matters. PROVEN Reliability Matters. Sales Numbers/Economy/APR Rates, Matter. What we the BUYER want, Matters. What the EPA/CARB/Emissions Regulators Want for us to Want, DOES. NOT. MATTER.
    2
  1032. I bought a frontier....I love it. The build quality is great.
    2
  1033. New Corolla GR = FAIL (self-combusting engines) New Tacoma = FAIL (cheap disposable turbo 4, auto/manual transmission failures, Mexican-made) New Tundra/Sequoia = FAIL (Catastrophic turbo V6 engine failures, recalls galore) New Lexus = FAIL (Catastrophic turbo engine failures) New V35A V6 = Absolute FAIL (Recalled: Poor design and manufacturing) New BZ4X & other BEVs = FAIL, FAIL, FAIL Oh, how the mighty have fallen....
    2
  1034. What about the Grand Wagoneer at over $100K….f’ing ridiculous
    2
  1035. Well FORD IN general has had problems for many years ! I REALLY like the look of the bronco but if im 50 miles out off roading I really don't want to break down ! Helped out many jeep owners and other over the years
    2
  1036. Dealers are 100% delusional ...
    2
  1037. But the Buick in Vista looks awesome
    2
  1038. They picked the wrong year to discontinue, with the competition pivoting there's a lot of people that would choose the titan over the American makes. Tundra's down fall is the cherry on top
    2
  1039. if you buy it and try to trade it in for a pickup they wont give you 50 cents on the dollar,DONT DO IT.once u drive it off the lot is a year old.30 k max
    2
  1040. They’re still selling here in Texas. I see these brand new expensive trucks driving all around here. Lifted diesel trucks are the most popular trucks here. The crazy part is Texas has some of the highest insurance rates in the country right now. Also, several dealerships are tacking on expensive addendums (GPC tracker, wheel locks, nitrogen in tires, paint protection).
    2
  1041. Because of the price of the Toyota trucks, it's now only a statis symbol to own one. I traded my Tacoma 2019 for the Nissan Frontier Pro x 2024.
    2
  1042. Worst truck market in history. I hope everyone stops buying and it puts an end to this BS.
    2
  1043. So jealous! Still waiting for a build date on mine. Hopefully sometime soon! Congrats looks great!!
    2
  1044. Just give a little more towing for the hybrid and sych 4. I'm waiting to order one
    2
  1045. Whenever I hate my job I think about people doing jobs like this. Jeep sales has gotta be brutal
    2
  1046. Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽 🇺🇸, interesting 🤔 thanks for talking, my windshield leaked. But my dealership fixed it asap
    2
  1047. Nismo has upgraded billstien leveling/lift kit & some really nice very strong light weight wheels to me it's the only way to go ps I had a Dakota back in the day & it was patriot blue pearl it looks very much the same color or very close to it
    2
  1048. Think about how many people can’t afford a$50.000 dollar car. Strike on fools you’ve all priced yourself out of the market…
    2
  1049. Thank you for another great review. I grew up in the late 60s-early 80s and all of my family drove chevrolets. No hatred for other brands its just what suited us. I understand the reason/s (mainly money) that automakers use other countries to build their parts, but its a pretty sad day when only 2% of this CHEVROLET comes from the USA or Canada. What gripes me most about chevy/gm is they took great car names like malibu/blazer/monte carlo etc. and slapped them on vehicles that look/perform nothing like the originals. I believe that they should have stuck with original body styles/engines and kept refining them instead of starting with a blank sheet of paper every 2-3 years. I'm still a chevy man, meanwhile the nissan frontier i now drive keeps plugging along. Just an opinion... thanks again.
    2
  1050. The blue and yellow marks on the lugs are for torque verification
    2
  1051. Any Hornets for free? Asking for a friend. I mean, why didn't they tack on another 80k to each vehicle? I'm sure it would have saved them. 🤭
    2
  1052. keep your search options open. Some people fly to other places in the country and drive back.
    2
  1053. $60K for a Tacoma is insanity. But somebody will buy it.
    2
  1054. I've been doing this job for 18yrs I'm still in the same spot I work for a small shop there is no up here I'm in a dead end I'm considering leaving.
    2
  1055. Not for me.
    2
  1056. 60 k for cherokee that's insane....
    2
  1057. "SUV fatigue" I love it!!!
    2
  1058. I appreciate your feedback however the majority of things that you don't like are things that I'm not interested in anyways, as far as I'm concerned they could rip out all that infotainment and just put in AM FM in there and I would be just as happy
    2
  1059. I love the Tremor Maverick.. my Maverick hybrid is supposed to be out of the shop this week , I may trade it in on a Bronco sport..
    2
  1060. I really love this truck! But I need the awd for winter.
    2
  1061. Cool. Up here in Canada we have a $5000 federal credit and the vehicle that qualify are non luxury cars because rich ppl can afford their luxury cars without rebates lol
    2
  1062. Just beginning, one silver coin for Toyota soon 🔜 😊
    2
  1063. The current 4th gen Tacoma owners and fansissies would strongly disagree with you however………🤷‍♂️😳
    2
  1064. Ouch, once again wisdomless management screws up and the regular employees bear the brunt of it. Its nothing more than feudalism disguised as capitalism. The lords squeezing every penny at the expense of the vassals. As carlin said "it's a big club and you ain't in it."
    2
  1065. Maybe if the vehicles weren't computer labs on wheels and simpler, they could build them cheaper.
    2
  1066. Insurance is just another tax. You don’t really have a choice whether or not to have it.
    2
  1067. Stop building over price shit!
    2
  1068. Order 11-3-21, clean unscheduled, rollover last day Sep schedule because dealer issues. Checked with Ford customer service to be sure they got the rollover they said yes, unscheduled clean. Checked again end of Dec, they told me to contact dealer, unclean. Spoke with dealer, they changed order prefer Dxxx to Exxx. Thinking I am losing rollover discount and order inline. Ford will only say scheduled clean again. I would let your Mav go until a job comes around. I would take a profit and find something later when prices crash. Ford is not the manufacture it was when they made the original Mav nor your Ranger. Good luck.
    2
  1069. Just got my 2024 GT Premium. Loving the car. So much fun.
    2
  1070. I think they're dumb...and weird...and for those reasons I love them.
    2
  1071. Why does everyone want an All Wheel Drive SUV?
    2
  1072. haha i have been saying the same thing all clickbait!!!!!!!
    2
  1073. Kia and Hyundai are junk. Also, the reason there were no base models is because they don't make them because dealers won't order them. Also, broke people don't buy new cars.
    2
  1074. My mindset is not to buy I’m retire I go out about once’s a month I have option I can buy me a e-bike or take a Ulber about once’s a month this way I save no gas no car payment no car ins and no maintenance. And I do have the money to pay cash for a expensive car or truck but I rather save my money on more important things like going on vacation and home projects now if everyone had the same mindset as me maybe these car dealerships would have no choice but to bring down the high price to a lower price or go out of business. This is just my opinion.
    2
  1075. What about the taxes did you calculate that in to the out the door price?
    2
  1076. There's a perfectly logical explanation why the new Mk8 GTI isn't available with a manual gearbox. VW hasn't built it yet, atlease not for the US models, specifically a new manual gearbox that's capable of handling the increased torque numbers that the 4th Gen EA888 engine produces for the Mk8 GTI. The 7-speed DSG gearbox is handling the increase just fine, so that's why it's the only option. In addition, even though the DSG is commonly referred to as an "automatic transmission," it's really not a true automatic. To be technical, it's most accurate to view it as a hybrid gearbox...operating not like a true "automatic" nor a true "manual." The DSG is pretty much a manual gearbox, but without the manual clutch pedal. That's been refined and replaced by the mechatronic unit mounted to the gearbox housing. The mechatronic or "computerized clutch" enables the DSG to be superior to the manual in every capacity. However, there remains that category of driving enthusiasts that believe only a manual gearbox can provide a pure driving experience. Just my opinion, but I've driven both and opted to purchase my GLI with the 7-speed DSG for all-around better performance. Go VW, keep crushing those numbers!!
    2
  1077. I have my 2022, I ordered mine in October 2021 and got my in October 2022 for my XL hybrid with a moonroof, 2k tow hitch, center console plug 🔌. I added the alarm and remote start, along with key pad access at the dealership. I love my truck. Can't wait for the Tremor.
    2
  1078. Ford is trying to increase it's profit margins... The Maverick is very popular and they don't make as much profit as other trucks. It's not the time to be increasing prices and I think they will either change their minds or suffer for it.
    2
  1079. There is no way they can lower prices like this, then raise them back up. They will crush them first. They will downsize and never let inventories get this high again.
    2
  1080. I have been looking to buy a truck for past 6 months and have to say the Nissan Titan w the non aspirated V-8 is the best value and likely the most reliable engine. Going to wait another 5-6 weeks to see if dealers get desperate.
    2
  1081. If the Cybertruck cost $30k, these would be flying off the shelves.
    2
  1082. better to just rebuild a engine and go old school 15k is better then losing 20 k off the lot
    2
  1083. I was worried it would be in the mid-upper $50k's... but $66K+??!!??!!?? Is Toyota f#cking completely insane? Holy hell. I'm turned off to the entire Toyota brand with this batshittery.
    2
  1084. I bought a 97 Buick five months ago and am happy with it
    2
  1085. They are doing way better reliability wise too. The new Buicks are the most reliable domestic vehicle, and you can't convince me that the Buick Regal TourX isn't the best looking wagon design we have seen a in a long time. Too bad it isn't sold in the U.S.
    2
  1086. My Bronco is trash!!!!!. I’m trading it in for a Wrangler tomorrow
    2
  1087. Why not wait for a 2024 Ford Maverick?
    2
  1088. And they STILL have those addon stickers.....to Hell with all of them.
    2
  1089. When that Hummer’s warranty is over you don’t wanna be stuck owning it. It’ll put you into bankruptcy.
    2
  1090. The best value clunker in my opinion is a Nissan sentra with a manual transmission they are reliable and worth nothing because of the bad reputation of the cvt.
    2
  1091. This truck in Canada is $61 thousand for the Pro4X!! Insane
    2
  1092. I've commented on your problem in a prior video. However with this video it brought to mind another problem I had encountered when being an auto glass installer for many years. Chrysler had this very problem and I mean exactly. What was causing the problem was the glass stop which is what holds the windshield up while the adhesive cures. The glass sets on these two pads one on each quarter point across the bottom one on the right and one on the left. The noise is created when the glass moves relative to the stop. They fixed the problem by changing the material they were made of. The bad ones were a hard plastic. The new ones were made out of a water soluble material which as expected dissolved when they got wet. The fact that the noise moved from one side to the other suggests this as a possibility at least.
    2
  1093. Why buy a ranger when the f150 is not to far away from that?
    2
  1094. Gosh! What a heart breaking truth about this new car! It's was my top first priority for this new year 2024. But I'm very thankful that you showed 2 us the truth. I've been driving Honda's all my life & never had any issue with any of them. I guess that due to ferocious competitions out there among compact SUV' s, many companies are just looking forward to bring new models without caring for quality materials! What a waste of time & money for those companies when they'll see that their demand has fallen down abruptly due to bad quality! What a pity! I'm indeed very thankful that you brought us the truth. I better stay put with older models then.
    2
  1095. My 20 yr old son bought Mazda CX5 for exact reasons you described. Needed it to commute to his util worker job making great $$ - parking lot full of the trucks you're talking about.
    2
  1096. exactly.. i dont get it.. many people who live in city and commute to office own trucks, how does it even work?
    2
  1097. Anything equivalent to The outlander in a Nissan Toyota or Honda is over 50K
    2
  1098. I bought my Camry for pretty much all of these reasons but the new ones are really expensive. The Maverick seems pretty cool and the fuel economy is crazy awesome!!
    2
  1099. Why am i sitting here watching you drive your Camaro when i should be out banging gears with mine 😄 BTW thanks for the common sense thoughts.
    2
  1100. The best career decision I ever made was leaving that shithole industry. I love working on cars, but not for a living, at least in this country.
    2
  1101. Gm did a great job on the styling. Really disappointed in the new Ranger. Just to bland.
    2
  1102. It's disappointing. The first generation was a slick looking truck, very masculine, and the new truck is just a neutered van looking thing.
    2
  1103. Nice congratulations good job on getting it with the six speed manual... one of the best gear boxes I have driven in my life The tremec transmission in the camaros are exceptional.
    2
  1104. lol ..People made bad decisions to buy a overpriced vehicle but it’s the dealers fault . Stupidity at its finest.
    2
  1105. I ordered a 2022 Tacoma Limited w 6 ft bed in Dec 2021 for $45k. No dealer markup. The Limited is a loaded SR5 basically. I thought that was too much but this makes it look like a deal.
    2
  1106. Funny how most of the Tacoma, and 4 Runner owners are so cocky driving around in a “Toyota” 😂 one of my cars is a 100k Mercedes and I don’t think I am king of the road driving around in it yet these Toyota owners think they are above everyone.
    2
  1107. I think I know why you love your Ranger -- I feel the same. Mine is a 1993 XLT, 3 liter V6, long-bed. I bought it used in 1998, my girlfriend showed it to me at a yard sale. Has 346,000 miles (122,000 when I bought it), engine rebuilt January 2021. I pamper it by installing new parts before they break, alternator, cooling system parts and so on. Top side paint is faded, otherwise (except for the headliner) it's in good shape.
    2
  1108. What is so nice about the center console? Its a block of cheap black plastic. Junk junk junk. 40 plus thousand $$$. No thx. My 90s truck is better
    2
  1109. There is No Replacement For Displacement. SCIENCE Proves That.
    2
  1110. If I were buying full size I would take a long look at the Titan, with the way they're discounted now.
    2
  1111. Welp, I guess that’s that! There are no more auto manufacturers that you can bank on. I felt like Honda was the last one holding the line on reliability after Toyota’s tundra fiasco. Maybe people will get so frustrated with the poor quality of ICE vehicles that they’ll switch to EV🤔 😉. Every manufacturers quality goes into the toilet- at roughly the same time? They all just forgot how to build a decent vehicle?
    2
  1112. I has 17 ss 6 speed and regret getting rid of it everyday!
    2
  1113. SR5 used to be top tier.. sad..
    2
  1114. i wouldn't give you 2 grand for that 💩 truck....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    2
  1115. I was debating between the tacoma or frontier
    2
  1116. Just picked up a 2023 SV kingcab with less than 40k miles; it has tech, towing and convenience packages. Clean title, 1 owner, got it for 26,950 after tax and title with a 2018 kia optima as trade in. Great truck so far, lots of good stuff on the used market with them.
    2
  1117. Nissan should have cleaned out their piss poor run dealerships that don't provide proper service and sales! Only a fool would buy a vehicle that they can't count on it being properly repaired! No thanks! I hope China doesn't follow them with their new EV vehicles!
    2
  1118. These dealerships are preparing to file chapter 11 protections. They can’t sell them for less than they paid for them and the worst part is what they paid for their inventory is 30-50% too much. They will give the overpriced lot rotten vehicles back to the flooring banks. The flooring banks will then lobby Washington DC for a bailout. Taxpayers will bail out the banks. The unsold vehicles will be ordered to be destroyed and the cycle of greed will start all over again with a new batch of newly manufactured overpriced vehicles. The dealership model is dying and needs to go away. It’s no longer needed and is a scourge to consumers. 99% of consumers despise trying to buy a new car from a dealer. The other 1% have Stockholm syndrome. Factory direct will be the norm in a few years. Dealerships will turn into repair and service centers.
    2
  1119. I've noticed that when I take my car to the dealer for an oil change...more oil leaks, etc. are found. I am going to start taking my cars to quick lube places, even though teens are changing the oil.
    2
  1120. Mazda 6 is great car, I’m not rich enough or crazy enough to buy such big truck
    2
  1121. Totally agree.
    2
  1122. Hated them for so long, but actually considering one though with price is so good and a symbol of anti- liberalism
    2
  1123. I’m with ya… no way I would pay $70k… and I’m an old Ford guy…
    2
  1124. Yup... that looks like a Camaro from the side profile lol
    2
  1125. Totally agree, Over priced & Ugly.
    2
  1126. The party is over and we are headed where the U.S.S.R was in the 1970's if they think slapping tariffs on foreign countries is the fix all I can say is get ready, have plenty of food , propane canned goods and silver , ammunition etc at home for the whole system will collapse.. Tariffs workd 2 ways and when countries are not foreced to deal with the United States they can shop elsewhere. I saw a Ford Edge in front of Costco about a year ago 93% foreign made American not hardly. Wall street has sucked this country dry and even the middle class may be hitch hiking , I own 3 vehicles all paif for and my 1997 Ford Explorer still runs great 120K on it because I carpooled.
    2
  1127. That would be useful to put my sunglasses in! I hate having to clip it to my visor and have it hit my head when I'm not using it.
    2
  1128. Are they going to replace the engines of all the Tacoma's on the lots too, lmao with the Toyota quality just going to crap. The Corolla GR's are voiding the warranty if you go over 85mph because the new 3 cylinder block is crap and borderline exploding.
    2
  1129. When you showed the GT profile, 1st thought was "that's a camaro" then you said the same.
    2
  1130. Im in the process of purchasing a CRV Hybrid sport Touring. Its used with 1700 miles. Owner returned for undisclosed reason. Carfax only notes 1 open recall, the fuel pump. No mention of the worm wheel recall. I asked the sales manager about the worm wheel and she says its unaffected. So how are there determining whats unaffected and whats not? Now im a bit worried about this purchase and what they could be hiding. Its not too late to back out.

  1136. Dealer: "Take it or leave it. We'll let it rot on the lot before selling it to you at a reasonable price."

  1137. What about in manual?

  1138. I owned an Audi Q7 diesel Maintenance nightmare, easily spent the cost of the car over on repairs over 7 years

  1139. Locked down a recent allocation/build for a Lunar Rock DCSB off road 6sp manual. Pretty bare boned it does not even have the tech pkg, so will have to do some bumper covers.
    2
  1140. Pretty much states the obvious and they are marked up and with options added make the 4Runner hard to justify at these prices. Add the fact that few are for sale, some are in the high $50K and even $60K+ before tax etc. Wise up guys.
    2
  1141. Nissan is toast. Their quality kept getting worse and worse and they always avoided doing right by their customers. The lesson they never seemed to learn was they needed to act in ways to retain customers as opposed to pissing them off and pushing them away.

  1142. I owned 7wranglers lifetime... Went to purchase a23rubicon gladiator... It sat on the lot for almost a year ...

  1147. Do not waste your time at any new Car dealership , find a nice newer one from an individual

  1148. Modern vehicles are just one module away from a catastrophic breakdown . Absolute junk.

  1151. I bought a 2019 brand new for $35k… dealership emails me every couple months offering me $35k to trade it back in lol

  1152. 1200 dollars tops for the project.

  1153. I love my 23 XLT Maverick Hybird also. There’s nothing I don’t like as of yet I’m in Ontario Canada after my first tank of fuel getting 46:7 mpg here in Ontario. Our dealer and salesmen were number 1 They were wonderful from start to finish.
    2
  1154. I’m going to go out on the limb and say EV’s are going to be the modern day Betamax.
    2
  1155. Do a follow up video in a year showing those vehicles still there 😂
    2
  1156. It’s a nice truck but I don’t think orange and blue go together but hey if you like it that’s all that matters
    2
  1157. You can't blame it all the dealers after all you had the fools willing to pay whatever the dealer asked,some of the dumbest were the Corvette people,those fools were gleefully paying 20k,30k over MSRP and you had some of them publicly admitting proudly they paid "only" 10k over MSRP.🤣🤣😆

  1158. 6/29/24 - All about fleecing wanton greed Corporate to manufacturing to dealership From cheap to poor material to poor quality Woeness Wokeness Wally World Maybe 2030 - 2040 Toyota will get it right turbo For I stick to naturally aspirated 4 / 6 / 8 Since Wuhan COVID 2020 Everything has gone to shite in a hand basket MTGA make toyota great again
    2
  1159. Wow, I did not expect it to look that nice and for that price point? That's pretty good 👍
    2
  1160. The united state auto industry is hijacked by leftist communists and global men, or toyota would gladly build a v8 again. They are forced by crazy emission laws that dont benefit the customer. The world economic forum does not want mankind to own cars, and the goal is to try to get everybody into electric. We are living in perilous times, and inflation is high worldwide with car prices high. This is all done by global men in power. Americans wake up

  1163. Since they Still don't offer a small cab 6' bed option, I don't care if they're having problems with this vehicle.
    2
  1164. What a joke. 😂🤣😂🤣
    2
  1165. The Nissan frontier is a far superior option still having a v6.
    2
  1166. Who knows how good these trucks even are. Def and all the other crap they are infected with. They dont get good mileage eather i think. Junk.
    2
  1167. hi handsome. great video and channel. i like your humor. keep it up. please tell us the b.s the sales rep said to you all day? be specific.
    2
  1168. I own a 1996 Toyota T100 with over 300k miles on the original engine. Sad to see how Toyota has become.
    2
  1169. So they recall 100k engines to replace, huge transmission problems in the tacoma and they still got the nerve to charge over 35-40k for any of them. Total fuggin insanity
    2
  1170. Beautiful pieces of crap. I do love the look but geeze, no way
    2
  1171. Thank God I’m leasing my 2023 Honda Ridgeline with that SOHC V6, looks like I’m turning it in at least end and say goodbye to Honda, I feel like a fool that I drank the Honda Koolaid, very disappointed !!
    2
  1172. Yeah the dumb stripes is done by the dealers.
    2
  1173. I laugh at the mpg on this junk.
    2
  1174. Definitely going with the XLT hybrid trim
    2
  1175. I have been driving for 70 years. The 2018 Pacifica I owned was one of the 2 best cars I ever owned(leased).
    2
  1176. I think these are great. If I were looking for a new point A to point B car, this is what I'd get. 5 speed manual, naturally aspirated, port injected. This thing is such a throwback it's glorious lol
    2
  1177. I would have loved to see the launch control in action. Awesome car!
    2
  1178. Beautiful Orange Blast 🧡
    2
  1179. Pro X in the gray (lunar rock Tacoma) color. My TRD off road premium Tacoma still looks better and will last longer, but these Nissans are really nice trucks as well.
    2
  1180. Dealerships are the ROOT OF EVIL PRICING
    2
  1181. Hell no. Not at 66k. Screw em
    2
  1182. Not that I’m a Ford guy but if you can buy a new AWD Ford Maverick for under 30 grand it’s a no brainer that they’re selling 3 times as much as the Honda regardless of the reliability.
    2
  1183. WOW!! A Toyota lot with brand new vehicles on it. The dealership I get my Tacoma maintenance at, 90% of the vehicles are all used. And very few truck and SUV's. Over all...very few choices of anything.
    2
  1184. I doubt I’m going to order one now. There’s better things out there for these prices.
    2
  1185. I own the exact color 24 Ranger Raptor. I absolutely love it. Ford literally knocked it out of the park with this truck. I have owned the Raptor F150 35,37 & the 23 R but I’m here to tell you, this truck is so fun to drive. My Ranger Raptor is going to Hennessy Performance in Houston for the 550 HP upgrade as soon as the software is completed. I also own a 24 Ford f450 limited & I feel like I’m driving a buck board after driving my Raptor.
    2
  1186. I bet they’ll drop the prices at least 30% if those trucks don’t sell and stay on the lot 10 years!😂 By that time they will be rust buckets in need of repair. Stop buying at those ridiculous prices and it’ll happen.
    2
  1187. Honestly, Doug DeMuro is wrong about a LOT of things, but bless him, he tries.
    2
  1188. Lol, I thought it was a Scumaro at first.
    2
  1189. I think the prize of vehicles are ridiculous. $50K for a new car that will depreciates or loses value almost immediately after you drive it off a dealers's lot. Just a thought.
    2
  1190. Good! I think Toyota is Soooo overrated...😉 BTW - I drive a '19 volkswagen tiguan, but did own an '04 Tahoe for 9 years, and it was one of the best vehicles, I've ever owned...
    2
  1191. You spotted the Lariat, the birds spotted it first
    2
  1192. I bought my 2006 Ranger brand new, and it looks similar to yours except it is black. I have the same wheels, and I spray painted them gloss black, then clear coated them. They still look great after 5 years. I built a wooden holder for my cell phone on the black plastic coin holder tray, with it tilted up so I can see the screen for gps directions. I also made a pen holder out of a 1/2 inch pvc pipe painted black. Very handy. I keep it in great shape, and I get compliments on it often. It has hauled all kinds of stuff over the years. I love this truck. My latest project was to install 3 red ID lights below the bottom of the tailgate, and above the license plate.
    2
  1193. My new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport L Hybrid on the very first day after buying it started rattling inside. The quality of Honda is definitely not what it was and as you mentioned vehicle manufacturers are just trying to move too fast to compete with each other for having the best of this and that and it's not working. Honda was making great vehicles in the 80's, they were more simple yes but they lasted forever. Seems like with more technology, the auto industry is just going backwards.
    2
  1194. All are rolling house payments
    2
  1195. Ugly,cost too much,too many computer chips,just crap,way to go FORD.
    2
  1196. This is the most entitled sounding narrator for a car review video ever.
    2
  1197. I just traded in my '23 hybrid Maverick XLT for a new hybrid Maverick Lariat that I ordered 6 months ago. The XLT was great and I loved it but I wanted the upgrade and cool features on the higher trim. Doesn't seem cheap, it seems simple. Getting almost 50mpg in mixed driving and comfortable. Communication from Ford was lousy but my dealer is great. I got $2k more for the XLT than I paid for it. Super happy with the Maverick.
    2
  1198. If only the 4Runner had larger capacity then it would be the perfect rig.
    2
  1199. The front end is ugly.
    2
  1200. You are right. The joy comes from the actual driving, not lighting extras, etc. Congrats and enjoy!
    2
  1201. The two dealerships in Albuquerque don’t have a market adjustments. Thankfully
    2
  1202. Nearly finished up my first tank and averaging over 48 MPG. Truth is there is NOTHING else available on the market! I have waited for years for a Prius pick-up (wife has 2015 Prius) and Ford came out with the Maverick and I ordered one. Our Maverick Truck is actually beating our Prius in MPG, (wife if a bit of a lead foot, lol). Ford really deserves a lot of credit for introducing the Maverick. As far as pricing goes, it's all about supply and demand. Many reports of people paying thousands over MSRP, so Ford is trying to find the sweet spot. Plus, inflation has really driven up manufacturing cost too. But, I still believe the MY24's will sell out like the previous years due to the huge demand, and nothing else, truly comparable to the Hybrid Maverick Truck is available.
    2
  1203. 60% off? As in a $100k msrp truck for $40k out the door? Lol people are sitting around waiting to pounce on this imminent deal. 🙄
    2
  1204. Plus you got cruise control!
    2
  1205. When apr is 8-11%? Even if vehicles are 4k under msrp, aint no deal. Good that more and more people finally realized whats going on and stop buying new or used cars.
    2
  1206. Anyone buying a new car at these prices is crazy. Save your money for more important items, like food.
    2
  1207. Ford will never learn. Just discontinue products that can't meet their oversized margins.
    2
  1208. I’m not paying 60k for a 20 k vehicle let the big three go under
    2
  1209. Congratulations man, the only thing that I noticed was the wheel gap. Do you know how much longer they will be making the Camaro? I thought I heard it might be coming to an end soon, if that’s the case hold on to it.
    2
  1210. Bought 2024 to avoid the changes that were coming with the 2025.SV 2024 crew cab has the 6 foot bed.
    2
  1211. Looks like a pretty sweet truck. You pay $30k for any junk car today so I'd take it. Great video!
    2
  1212. Thanks for adjusting your mic. I have watched 3 of your videos and your voice has been so low but when you adjusted your mic that was perfect. I’m going to say I would take the XL Hybrid because I have had a CL Hybrid on order since October 31 2021 lol. My dealer said 2 weeks ago that mine has been built and should be her by the end of February. Looking forward to some future comparisons of these 2
    2
  1213. Big rip off. Still
    2
  1214. i know ill be waiting for a while, dont care, by then there will be dealer incentives as were slipping into depression
    2
  1215. Looks like lot rot is coming to the 2024 as well as the 2025s
    2
  1216. I got ripped off at a Chevy dealer, never again!
    2
  1217. F 150 lighting black one 35 k nope maybe 7k then the white project one 8k nope way to high 1500 to 2500 on a good day but someone is smoking crack.lol walk away, not worth it.
    2
  1218. You can get 2 Jettas for the price of one SUV . They would sell more Hatches but the sedans are bigger and cheaper.
    2
  1219. 😂😂😂 That is typical these days. Ford and Chevy both suck for the last 6 or 7 years. I been a ford guy all my life I own 2 old Ford's now. I doubt I'll ever buy another new ford or Chevy unless something changes. Ford and Chevy latest generation transmissions are junk.
    2
  1220. I guess I'll buy another 2011 Chrysler or older Subaru when the time comes. I can't depend on anything else apparently.
    2
  1221. I just bought one 8 months ago for my first vehicle 1998 3.0 121k miles
    2
  1222. I definitely see your point by excluding any ill wishes for the ground level employees. I would venture to say the only real blame is the owners of dealerships and they may even have good excuses by the actions of the manufacturers. But who knows? Either way cars are overpriced and the entire market needs a reset and I also blame GREED.
    2
  1223. Did the dealer mark your maverick price up?
    2
  1224. I seriously considered the purchase back in April but just couldn’t get past the price and quality concerns I would have bought the Willys if the price was right , there’s a great following out there , I do like them but ended up with a Silverado great bang fir the $
    2
  1225. Mine just arrived at the dealership. Pretty stoked
    2
  1226.  @jondonahue7163  that is greatest lie, because humanity is starving in Europe and Canada, and that inflation is worldwide. Biden and Kamala were printing 80 million dollars a day. These people are Marxists, they only care about global dominance. Canada as the same problem as the USA and Europe, globalists puppet in power to put people into poverty . In Canada 2 million people are using the food bank a month, all planned to bring universal income in socialism. Usa media is evening saying that Canada wants this, and USA wants this too.
    2
  1227. I drove my Maverick from Maine to our winter home in Florida. Ditto on all your points made in your video with the exception of the windshield. Mine’s had no trouble at all. I’m a Civil War buff and I appreciate your take on the Civil war museum. Oh BTW, I had a 4Runner 2001 with over 300K miles, (still runs great). The ride and mileage is better in the Maverick, however, hard to beat the longevity of the Toyota. I hope my Hybrid XLT Maverick can go the distance.
    2
  1228. The Pacifica is a nice rig, there’s a lot of them on the road. Good point too about 3rd row seating in a midsize suv. Good luck fitting in the third row of our highlander if you’re older than 8.
    2
  1229. Overpriced crap needs a market adjustment of 40 percent
    2
  1230. My 2009 Ford Ranger had the windshield replaced for $150 in a couple hours by a local L.A. shop with no issues. Strange issue you are having. If you decide to not keep it I am sure you can make a decent profit from selling it.
    2
  1231. My neon srt4 purred like a V8, never did it sound ‘thrashy’. Although I know how the ecoboost sounds rough and so does the hybrid at full throttle.

  1234. I have 2 Rangers, a 94 manual 5 speed and a 09 automatic 5 speed, both 2.3 L... great trucks!

  1235. Al keep my 06 F-150 it's a 5.4l and runs great 👍
    2
  1236. about time for someone to produce a simple, reliable vehicle priced accordingly. they would sell a bunch.
    2
  1237. I hope my dealer stays in business as I have 2 more years left on my warranty fo my TRX, this is a sad day in history 😢
    2
  1238. 70k you have to be a sucker to pay that price.... wait for the sucker to buy it and the price will be 30% less with 20k miles and 1 year old.
    2
  1239. The ranchero comes to the rescue 😅
    2
  1240. I get a kick out of reading comments. Because the people that always say any brand sucks never own one themselves. It seems to me that people who can't afford new vehicles say they all suck. Drive a vehicle from 20 years ago and drive one from today and you will never want to drive the 20 yr old one again. Come on just let people like what they like
    2
  1241. I drove my 2024 Nissan King Cab on a trip and got 28 mpg, not per the computer system on the truck but when i checked it myself. The truck stated that i got 24 mpg
    2
  1242. Got mine for 48,500 out the door black edition 2023… same color
    2
  1243. All junk not one will go 100k miles
    2
  1244. I think the XLT Lux pack is the sweet spot for this truck. Lariat I think is overpriced for what it actually adds.
    2
  1245. The new Mustang is a Camaro and Ford Should feel like a bunch of disgraces… I’ll stick with a 04 Termi…
    2
  1246. My 22 XLT Hybred , I love it, MPG, never sell
    2
  1247. It definitely has the Corolla price of about 5 years ago. With the Corolla costing maybe 25k or so depending on your haggling skills, you still get the Toyota reliability. But this new platform hasn’t been out long so you can’t guarantee the reliability. I know what I’d do with my money.
    2
  1248. Bought my tiguan used in '23 - 16 months later and trouble-free ❤😉
    2
  1249. 500 hp, ridiculous
    2
  1250. It’s crazy they just made a brand new Nissan dealership here in Summerville but every time I go by it since it’s been there for the few months it has its seems like the same cars are still sitting there out front. From what I heard customer service isn’t the best either and they haven’t been opened for that long maybe 5-6 months
    2
  1251. Honda blew it on the Ridgeline because they don't have a good looking truck! its ugly! Honda has a failing design department! The Ridgeline has a ton of potential, but the design is butt-ugly! Japanese vehicles last forever, but the only downfall is that they design things too ugly, and too small for Americans! It's as if they are marketing it to people in Japan, yet they are selling it to Americans! And we don't like it!
    2
  1252. All Honda lovers should see this video. The truth should be known. It's really disappointing to see quantity with bad qualities. Honda should take back all these CRV's & refund all their clients until needful has been done to implement quality materials in these vehicles.
    2
  1253. Thanks for the update on your truck. That experience at your dealer really stinks. I probably would have taken it to a different dealer if I was getting that kind of flack right out of the gate. That is all of the service departments standard answer regarding the information you find on the "internet". They generally end up eating crow over those comments because most of that stuff posted on the groups and forums is because other people and other service departments have already been down this road. I hope they get it sorted out and get you fixed up. Sorry to hear about the job. Hopefully that situation will pass quickly and things get back to normal. Was looking for a Ranger when I found out about the Maverick. At first I laughed at the Maverick until someone said it was 1500+lbs payload. That shut me up and got me thinking about it. I would love to find a low miles Gen3 Ranger that is in good condition. The prices people are asking are just unreal for a 2010/11 Ranger. For not a lot more money I could(if Ford would produce enough of them) buy a new Maverick. So that is the catch 22. If used prices start to fall then maybe an older Ranger would be a good fit, but at today's prices it would be better just to hold out and try to snag a Maverick. The good news is that if you decide to sell the Maverick you can probably make a few bucks. Keep us posted on what happens.

  1254. Bought my 2023 frontier SV mid April, 2024 32,940 otd, base price 29,440, i shopped for a month before found the right deal, haven't seen under 30k base price since still look at the pricing at different dealers just to see if i got a good deal. Glad i pulled the trigger, got the tactical green, (convenience pkg) very happy!

  1257. I’m deathly not spending that much money on a Hyundai on any Sunday they are garbage

  1258. Those tires are a $500 option. The less aggressive AT tire comes standard on the Trail Boss.
    2
  1259. Where are the GTRs and Zs??? I believe that when they sent Ghosn to jail, for some questionable reasons, still not proven clearly, they blew it. He had things going well w a great line up, including all the V6s and V6 Turbos. Infiniti was doing well and Nissan had ideas for the future that looked interesting. That was like shooting themselves in the foot, out of Japanese pride, and I do think they could have done it w a bit more thought towards their own future. Since then, there hasn't been much exciting besides the Z. All the other models, in general, have lost the nice engines, Infiniti, using that same wonky 2 L turbo, which they somehow codeveloped at a point w Mercedes...compared to the V6s is still weak. Even the build of the newer Infinitis feels a bit cheap. They are killing off the Q50 and Q50 RedSport, the GTR, the QX50 is nowhere near the 2017 as far as being a solid overall vehicle. Their cars were also well developed with so much R&D, that you could rely on them for years. And I have a 2017 QX50 and have driven the newer models. Mine is still in awesome shape and looks great. The 3.7 V6 is powerful still. All that being said, I am happy about them not going w Honda, as Honda already have their hands in too many businesses and I am sure Nissan would not be a priority. We can only hope and pray they don't kill off the Z and that they realize why people were buying their cars and trucks. At least the Frontier is still a very solid truck that has been well developed. Hoping for the best and that they remember their roots and let that drive the future. Oh, and I am def looking at a Z if it is still here...since the GTR is seriously marked up and very hard to find in all states. The Z by comparison is typically marked down. I thought about the Frontier, as it is more practical, but, I love speed and driving dynamics too much!

  1260. I appreciate your video as I also purchased a black with the black appearance package without ever seeing a Maverick close up so I was so curious to have a better idea of it’s looks. Exactly as your situation I also bought one that someone else had ordered but walked away and I found out today that it is on a ramp in Texas so I should see it soon! Anyway, thank you for showing yours! Looks great!

  1261. I agree 💯👍

  1262. Every car YouTuber has exactly the same title 😂 1. No, everyone is not broke. 2. Cars are simply not worth the asking prices for a depreciating asset. 3. The consumer has finally realized this since record inflation.

  1263. You know it’s an upside down world when a basic pickup truck is considered nice, those things were once a loss lead for dealers. Let’s just wait for the competitors adjust to meet demand if you can. I tell my kids that vehicles are not like smart phones that you change out every few years, these are tools that you take care of and hopefully it’ll last a long time.

  1264. They look like a Honda CR-V from the early 2000s. Never understood the FOMO on this.

  1265. The dealerships earned this themselves. Just go get a Nissan Frontier and keep greedy dealers starving.
    1
  1266. They're overpriced. That's the only reason. There are still plenty that would love one including me. But I'm not paying a hundred grand for a toy. The people that could pay that already have. The rest of us just dream that Ford wakes up to reality

  1267. Ford Lightnings weren't all that cool to begin with. Both of those are a hard pass.

  1271. This is what happens when you increase the price by 60% in 3 years and produce cars, trucks and SUVs that are absolute piece of junk. This not just Sallentis but all US and European made autos. Add on top of that the UAW which always want huge raises even though the cars being produced are getting worse and worse. After owing a GM car that was a disaster, I decided never to buy an American or European made cars or trucks. I have been buying instead Toyota and I am extremely happy. Last car we bought was Toyota Prius made in Japan for a bit under $30,000 and now the car is almost 4 years old and never made it back to the dealership for any needed repair, just change oil and filter. I am not sure why UAW thinks that their workers need a raise when others are not getting any raises. Last, where is genocide Joe or UAW now to save these jobs? I know, genocide Joe is busy sending money and weapons to Israel and Ukraine to kill more innocent people. Now that is not going for reelection, genocide Joe or Harris for that matter don't give a shit about auto workers. With no bailout this time, I look forward to seeing Chrysler/Dodge go out of business soon as company with poor reliability products and high prices doesn't deserve to be in business.

  1278. owned fords for 40+years.still have 3.but nothing newer than 08.fords downfall began with the 5.4 & quality took an avalanche into the current pits of hell ever since.i wouldnt buy one.unless they give me 2k cash back for every recall.then it might be worth it.considering ford had over 50 so far this year.

  1279. I’d get a manual rear window and hitch (if cheap enough). For under 20k, these make sense. Basic is my style. I would not change a thing. Bedliner? Hopefully the dash will not be buzzy in cold weather. I’m excited to see the future Toyota competitor! Not sure why you are buying thus already owning such a late model truck already? Paid off soon? If not already? Keep it. If you haven’t driven it, especially.

  1282. Most buy here pay here lots are the worst form of awful that there is. If you be sellin the car and the loan you can lie out your ass about both and give your repo man some business as well. It's a win all around except for the poor person with no car and a big payment to make.
    1
  1283. It won't matter much if money becomes cheaper. If auto loan rates go down, it's still not going to help these people who are $15k to $20k underwater trade out to help themselves. They won't even be able to refi at a lower rate being rat upside down. I don't care if it's an untitled new 2024 with 5 miles on it. It's still depreciated after 300 plus days on the lot sitting next to a 2025. I ran the numbers for my area and an $80000 with 20% down at 2.99% for 72 months with no trade-in negative equity and no fees calculated in the deal would still be a payment around $1050 per month. No, sir, the math isn't mathing for me. I owe less than 10k on my truck I bought prior to the pandemic. I stretched it out a bit because I keep my trucks until they just don't go or become a money pit. My interest rate was .9% for 72 months, and I got a huge discount. It'll be paid off this year in 2025. Hopefully, by 2035, this whole auto industry mess will be over when I start looking again.

  1286. "Thank" the EPA for their onerous CAFE requirements forcing virtual entire industry switch to tiny turbo engines that get much worse real-world MPG than NA engines. The turbo engines are designed for one thing and one thing only: to pass the EPA MPG test by running it so gingerly on the test cycle that the turbo never kicks in. While in the real world driving the turbo is frequently engaged, negating any purported fuel economy savings over NA engine. -At least turbo engines are more expensive, complex, higher maintenance costs and less reliable than NA engines. 🙄

  1303. Get a Nissan frontier, it does drive like a truck,feels like a truck V6 NA engine plus great price , i know the trade in value it’s not that great ,and i do suspect it’s to the fact of Nissan auto maker awful bad reputation!, well take advantage of that and get your hands into the last greatest V6 NA engine midsize truck left on the market !!!

  1304. The ideal would be a dealer principal or GM who values their employees and pays them hourly regardless of the labor time guide. But that would require a very high level of professionalism on the part of the techs. I worked at a dealer that was flat rate but treated the employees fairly. Yes, it's rare.

  1329. Thought I would share a bit of information with you regarding dash squeaks and rattles that I have learned over a few decades and thousands of windshield installations. At the point where the windshield and the dash come together you have two bodies that while being adhered or fastened to the same thing that being the firewall they are two independent things and move separately to some degree due to the rigidity variances of their materials and fasteners as will as their relative positions. Manufacturers have delt with this problem in many different ways. Some will keep them apart. Many will pad the joint with closed cell foam. I had a BMW I had changed the windshield in once that rattled and BMW told me the thickness of the adhesive I used was probably a couple of mm too thick and wasn't applying enough pressure to the dash to quiet the type of quick connect fasteners they used and sure enough changing the windshield and using a thinner layer of adhesive did fix it. When we remove a windshield many times you will find rubber blocks contained in the adhesive which are referred to as gauge blocks which determine the thickness of the adhesive but not always. Now imagine that everything is made to a certain tolerance. Meaning everything is made to within plus or minus the desired dimensions. Now imagine if you will that you have multiple parts coming together at a certain point and everyone of those parts just happen to be on the lesser or greater end of that tolerance scale. What do you get? This combined condition is referred to as tolerance stacking. However improbable it is that this happens it does occur.

  1338. I disagree on the engine noise. I have a tremor and I rarely noticed engine noise unless I’m outside the vehicle. I have the luxury package but I don’t think that would make any difference and I have never owned a vehicle with a four-cylinder. My son had a Ford focus, which was very loud.

  1344. One of the most important "Leading Economic Indicators" in the US economy is Auto Sales. It's an indicator of a) confidence in the economy, b) strength of individuals' finances, c) positive outlook for the future. To our economy, Auto Sales is one of the "crystal balls" that tell us what will happen 6-12 months down the road. When this brick falls out of the wall, the other bricks are de-stabilized and it starts to crumble. Another "LEI" is personal debt.....which is off the charts. Look at all the new cars on the road and KNOW that most are financed with 7 year loans.

  1348. The most expensive car on that lot should top out $45K. Stellantis raised prices on Dodge, Jeep Ram, to luxury levels. 4x4 1500 should be $28K. Grand cherokee $42K. Wrangler $34K.

  1353. Good video. Logical and reasonable. I'm glad to see evidence that others think like I do. My wife and I have owned four Ford Fusion sedans over the years. I was shocked and pissed off when Ford decided to quit making sedans. I like sedans with naturally aspirated engines. I cringe when I see so many people driving SUVs and big trucks. Everyone seems to want to follow the crowd. I will definitely consider a Mazda 3 when it comes time to replace one of our cars.

    1
  1366. A lot of those wait times have to do with the options on the car and definitely how much weight the dealership has with daddy Ford (or any car company). The best dealerships won’t go way over MSRP on any vehicle (if at all) and definitely won’t refuse services or refuse to sell electric vehicles (bc they’re worried about losing a lot for their business when electrics take over ie. Maintenance & screwing you on service bills). Anyways those are all red flags to look for with dealers. If they’re shady with anything no matter how small then they’ll be shady with everything.

  1376. Out here on the West coast, I have not seen a Stealer shut down, yet. Most Stealer auto techs are new guys, little experience, and not worth a crap. Compared to the Federal layoffs, loss of jobs mentioned in this vid is a drop in the bucket. Last, but not least is despite the price points, the quality of new vehicles is across the board horrible. A good deal on crap is still buying crap. Buyer beware!

  1395. The auto industry is commiting corporate suicide. Metal, plastics and glass, the cheap stuff making vehicles by robots and sending workers home on welfare . Can you imagine buying a vehicle that will fetch $ 500 in scrap a few yrs down the road. For the ones buying these used vehicles after warranty will be paying big time for break downs, cha ching. So greedy that they can't see the biggest crash in history soon upon us. The automotive industry replaced the gold standard decades ago, and it's fading away every day. 💣💣💣

Almost all of them are never used to haul a trailer or rock for the home project. It's a "man" thing for most guys and the bigger the better. People can't afford this stuff but they buy them anyway.

  1419. The only way to make money is to own your own shop. Or go into aviation if you want to make real money. I worked for a regional first making $21 hr for my first 6 months then you start getting increases every 6-12 months. I got hired at the major airline that owed the regional after 2 yrs starting at $32 hr. After 3 years I'm at $50 hr. I've never received so many raises in my life. Just leave the auto industry go back to school get an A&P and be an aircraft tech.

  1423. I would give you a great deal 10k off free service for two years and if you trade in later down the road give you great discount off another vehicle.
    1
  1424. Ugly. Other new trucks are actual trucks and look nice at least—all too expensive. Find a good older truck. Listen to Scotty Kilmer or Car Wizard

  1425. Oh, man. It's really nice car. I've been owning one since 2019. It's quite hard to keep it ok'ish here in Russia, but I don't care :) Tomorrow i'll finish (hopefully) my tranny's repair. No one wanted to fix it, so I decieded to do it myself :)
    1
  1426. Nice styling, nice performance, but I’m not stupid enough to actually buy one. Overpriced and poor reliability. Any smart person knows that.
    1
  1427. V6 with that LOW OF TORQUE, I'll pass!
    1
  1428. Pull up one of the websites for used vehicles and offer them the mid-tier price for a 3 year old vehicle. Upgrades...they never pay you for upgrades on a vehicle you trade in. So, tell them you are not paying for their upgrades and if they want, take them off.
    1
  1429. This is life as we see it now. Less for more. I remember when adding tech options came out to anywhere from $3-5k. Now we’re looking at $10k +

  1430. The rear locker is only accessible through the center screen. As are the heated seats/wheel.
    1
  1431. I can't find an XLT or Lariat with FX4 and 4k towing to save my life. I just wanted a compact pickup that could haul my motorcycle trailer without breaking the bank. I guess I was asking too much.

  1432. I would have asked what drugs he on!

  1433. I agree a lot of Audi cars are less premium. But some of their cars are nice.
    1
  1434. Add to it no more Ram Classic trucks, no cheaper option for Ram enthusiasts which will eventually mean no more Ram enthusiasts. Modern truck selection is deplorable, Ford has swallowed the largest turbo pill they could find and their version of active fuel management through cylinder deactivation (lifters) is poor combined with poor service support. Chevrolet is a bit better, why is I went with the 2024 Silverado V8 (5.3L) 4x4 Work Truck at just over 30 grand. This can tell us the executives of the various manufacturers don't understand modern society and state of U.S. and world economy, they don't care, or they are part of a conspiracy to further destroy our economy and thereby modern civilization. You pick the version you like, but there is no realistic rose-colored option.
    1
  1435. I’m agreeing with you on these trucks, but I will say between Toyota. “Tacoma “ gmc “canyon” and Chevy “Colorado “ you can not get one and if they have one it’s still sticker price and maybe more depending on where you go and that’s on Long Island Suffolk County

  1436. A Buy Here Pay Here lot is the last place to EVER go to buy a car or truck!

  1439.  @abqmalenurse  bit of class wages have only raised 26% of the inflation over the last 40 years. That puts the middle-class at a deficit of 74%.
    1
  1440. My 97 4runner and my 2002 Camry I bought with cash are still better than any new Toyotas. I will never drive anything but late 90's and early 2000's models.
    1
  1441. Honestly I would love to buy one these Wranglers. Unfortunately these prices surely beyond most people reached. Even I can afford, it definitely not worth. That's not how you throw aways your hard earn money.
    1
  1442. My manager's Tucson had transmission issues from when they bought it. They replaced the transmission several times until an eventual recall. Bad reputations last for a long time.
    1
  1443. This is why I bought a 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. It's the last real truck that Toyota made. If I had waited, I would've definitely bought a Frontier Pro 4x. But honestly, I'm glad that I got a 3rd Gen Tacoma. My truck has gone up in value.
    1
  1444. IFORCE MAX has my interest, by until the fix the pricing, I will be keeping my 22' Off Road, my second Tacoma (had a sport 19' as well) family 2007 Tundra, running strong at my folks ranch 211k miles.
    1
  1445. Ordered from factory a 2022 badlands 2dr Sasquatch fully loaded with manual 2.3. The car was complete crap. Lots of recalls, poor workmanship/quality, transmission rattles like a tin can of marbles with no fix from Ford, and I ended up underwater with 5k miles on the car when I traded it for a Land Rover defender. Crap car and I will never buy another ford again. Defender is night and day better than the Bronco.
    1
  1446. BMW used to make very driver oriented cars with (mostly) nice design. Now it's just the automotive equivalent of a designer clothing brand
    1
  1447. Sale price from markup!
    1
  1448. They still want 15k over MSRP for a Ranger Raptor. Plus all the dealer bs add ons. I just laughed and walked away. They are not a 1 of 1000 made so nothing too special. The salesman said "find me another one". Great sales work.
    1
  1449. The joke is on you Toyota.
    1
  1450. Also Nissan you can negotiate BIG deals so MSRP is not the price, side note the new Tacoma top trim is over 65k so the Frontier is a fantastic value
    1
  1451. I recently traded in my TRD Pro 6 speed tacoma for a 4runner. Love the 4runner but I miss the tacoma more, mainly due to the sentiment and memories associated with it. Thinking about buying it back and end up with two vehicles lol

  1452. That would make a great 'used car' lot.... 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚖👍

  1454.  @revnation_auto  Found mine by pure dumb luck and, believe it or not, an honest used car dealer who keeps a few "beater" pickups on his lot. They tend to have rather high mileage, but they are good knock around trucks.
    1
  1455. I’m not going to pay 53k for a truck either, especially one made in Mehicho.

  1456. Your wife is hot. You should have her on more!

  1457. $46k for a basic work truck!?! Unbelievable.

  1458. What no TrueCoat markup lol.? $91K what working stiff has that or is stupid enough to finance that. If you run the loan calculator its a horror show for 10 years.

  1459. Blue pro 4x

  1460. BRONCO costs less than 25k to build under mass production. Do they really think people are stupid? Exactly why these vehicles rot Hope Ford goes out of business

  1461. Off road challenge with the Bronco!
    1
  1462. 7 months ago I bought a 21 Toyota Tacoma TRD certified 22k with extras tires /rims hood side steps and paid 35k my bank said valued at40k I'm happy but not paying 50+k for a 24
    1
  1463. Back in 2016 I was looking for a used pickup truck to replace my 2002 pickup. And on one of the lots I saw a new Yukon xl looked at the sticker. It was 105k.
    1
  1464. I used to be a big Ford and Mustang owning many. I'm done with Ford, their greed is out of control. They still make cheap interiors. The interest rates for cars is out of control. FJB

  1465. You're not even adding the insurance cost. Especially on a Hellcat.

  1466. Jeep raised prices MORE than the rate of inflation and made their cars cheaper. What could go wrong? rofl. I feel so bad- NOT. Jeep- the democraps of the auto industry.
    1
  1467. The Dodge dealers killed themselves with high prices on the Hellcat Challengers and Chargers. After owning 2 Challenger SRT’s and 2 Challenger Hellcats I gave up on them. It is shame because they are good cars nice riding, very comfortable but too many idiot owners.
    1
  1468. These trucks are so wow
    1
  1469. Nice comparison, I've been looking at rangers as well since I'm still waiting on a maverick. Its a shame you cant buy a base model ecoboost maverick with a manual transmission.
    1
  1470. Keep your current car as long as possible. Just about everything new truly sucks

  1471. I put Monroe shocks on my 2011 Ranger and they work just fine. I think Ford used the same ones, but branded them with the Ford logo.

  1472. Anyone who has dealt with a dealership knows that all of their employees are swindlers. No sympathy from me.

  1473. Yeah I want a k-5 I ain’t paying 20g for a rust bucket
    1
  1474. I bought a 21 KIA Rio compact sedan and even with a dealer markup of $2995.00 it was still under $22,000 OTD and the best car. I have had so far. A person has to be living in another world to pay these outlandish prices for what is just a car to go from here to there in. I am starting to notice everywhere a plethora of little white cars . People are starting to wise up about what they actually need in an automobile and how much they are willing to spend for it and it is the same for almost everything.
    1
  1475. This has nothing to do with Elon musk it's the economy stupid, I guess elon made Volkswagen layoff 35,000 people and shut down three manufacturers, it's funny how people have to blame somebody

  1476. I like the gladiator, I probably would have considered one, if I wasn't retired.

  1477. I Have an F-150 Super crew truck that we use to tow a travel trailer during the camping season, when not towing or moving a mattress or furniture for a family member i have it stored inside a secure building along with the camper, we have a used Mazda CX-5 or Honda Pilot to commute to work and run around town getting groceries and such, i don't like driving the F-150 around town that much, even though it has backing sensors & 360 cameras its still can be a pain in the ass in tight parking spaces, lol
    1
  1478. You said it bud.👍
    1
  1479. outdated interior in these models for 70k ill pass
    1
  1480. i wouldn't buy the overpriced 2023's and definitely wouldn't buy the extremely overpriced 2024's. 53k+ for a midsize truck, nope not worth it. Let these stay on lots for a year or so and watch how fast those crazy prices come down.
    1
  1481. Sell the Maverick and buy a Toyota or a Honda. Much better quality and they last forever.
    1
  1482. Good to know. I think the stop sale is warranted, why would you want to buy a potentially defective product anyways
    1
  1483. just wait 2 years, pick it up for 40k

  1484. Same thing Biden did to the US Presidency.

  1487. BMW are horrible in terms of reliability. They fall apart at 50k miles. Audi is even worse.

  1488. I'm not overly impressed with the interior of both these vehicles but I do prefer the second row of the Nissan and the cargo space of the Ford.... kind of a draw in my opinion lol

  1490. Toyota is screwing things up for sure.

  1491. I like the king cab with the full size bed. In blue. Scotty kilmer says the Nissan frontier is a good truck. Especially if you don't want to pay the Toyota money.
    1
  1492. Besides the ZR2 the Trail Boss is better looking than the other models including the Z71,, Z71 has a 1 inch lift,,Trail Boss has 2inch lift AND a 3inch wider stance over those models,,,that’s why it looks bigger bolder better
    1
  1493. I will never buy a new car again. I just hope I will always be able to get parts for my old one.

  1494. Engines are underpowered, transmission is cheap as chips. For that money you can get a Mercedes Benz GLS. MB is a superior motor.

  1498. I can't understand the American obsession with these huge trucks. Especially as most are driven in city limits. And the prices ! In my country Australia, trucks for e.g. Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, etc are priced. around $60 grand Aus, ( 40 grand US )
    1
  1499. Who wants a 4cylinder turbo engine in any brand. NOT ME

  1504. I love these videos showing the fail of Toyota. Toyota deserves it and I feel no sympathy for their greed and lack of quality. Only “Smart” people will buy the New Tundra, Tacoma, and now 2025 Toyota 4Runner. Outrageous MSRP…just stupid.

  1505. The fact that it's manufactured in Mexico is a big concern of mine Secondly I don't like the shifting of the transmission

  1511. I bought a Santa Cruz about 3 months ago and I absolutely ❤ it!!!! I got a great deal on it, and I love the styling and on a trip I just took I got 30 mpg. The Santa Cruz Cruz rides like a car, and I love,love, love it.
    1
  1512. Our Nissan dealer thankfully isn’t doing those adjustments. They are selling at or below MSRP from what I’ve seen and heard from people who purchased from them.

  1513. This Honda plastic quality issue is being reported from locations all over the country in numbers sufficient to state that reflective windows are either not a culprit, or are something for which plastics chemists ARE liable for taking into account when designing polymers. Just like with the Toyota spontaneous acceleration scandal some years ago, some percentage of these reports are probably hyberbole. However, again, the numbers indicate that this is a ligitimate issue that needs to be researched. I have a basic understanding of how one mixes polymerizing chemicals. It appears Honda had a major plastics vendor fail during mixing, or that a major chemical supplier provided bad chemical ingredients to one or more vendors. My hypothesis, based on photos on the net, is that the it was a long term mixing problem that results in the plastic off-gassing in the sun and deflating the uncured "plastic" cells as it does so. This will ruin the paint on the plastic, as well as the plastic. Hyperbole. I wouldn't assume that the metal flash rusting os a quality issue. Any sheet steel hit deeply enough to remove the coatings will "flash rust," as it is called, almost overnight. Don't allow side issues that are not relevant muddy the water or distract either you or Honda during your quest for Honda to provide new plastics for your otherwise excellent automobile.

  1535. No thanks. None of this stuff is a working person's vehicle. I don't need all the tacky garbage inside and out that does nothing but break or cost more to fix. I need a plain old regular cab, 8' bed, rubber mat, reliable everyday truck. I'll keep my regular cab 2002 GMC 2500hd on the road. Best truck I have ever owned outside of my '79 Ford or '76 Chevy trucks that I still have.

  1536. I've worked over 35 years auto dealer technician and made a very good lucrative and HONEST living raised my family on a flat rate system and still work that way today. I share my secret to any one who would listen. I transformed myself into really becoming a car doctor, a veterinarian for cars and was able to quickly understand car business is a mascot business. There is no need to "SELL" brakes or any repair or maintenance. Just perform a good MPI ( pics & videos modern technology)and inform client of repairs or maintenance required that are a priority with a quote and you'll win great amount of respect and find success in this profession.

  1539. I recently had a blown engine on a Prius cylinder 3. Took it to a recommended shop they quoted a 31-hour labor at $9,000 plus. This did not include the engine. After yelling and screaming and cussing them out because I'm not an idiot. I took it somewhere else and got it done in 13 hours for just under 4 grand including the engine

  1544. I can understand why sales are down. Economy, etc. , we all know that, but I really wanted a GT convertible and 60K is just ridiculous. Mustangs were supposedly for the middle class. And, by the way, I would only do an automatic, since the manual comes from China! I would expect a failure within a year. At least the automatic (and I'm shiftless anyway) is made in the United States. Also, maybe a less powerful V-8 (I hate those inlets in the grille) with a lower price might entice more people. There is no competition! No reason for these not to sell.

  1552. I started in the wrenching business back in the '70s. Adjusted for inflation I was making about $64 per hour in today's dollars. Us technicians did pretty well, and many of us spent our money on new cars, motorhomes, boats, and vacations. Me on the other hand, well I spent my money on California real estate. Then In early 2005 AutoNation arrived, they sat us all down in the conference room and told us " we're shocked at how much you people make", and as you can guess it was downhill from there. Eventually, and in my opinion, after wringing everything they could out of the dealership by taking advantage of customers and employees, profits diminished, and they decided to close the dealership down. That was the moment I realized I could make it on my own managing my rental property. I haven't spent one moment regretting my decision.

  1555. They’re too expensive. A brand new one in Australia is $73600. It was on my list to test drive, but couldn’t justify the price. Got a 2016 RS3 after test driving multiple second hand and new cars.

  1556. I hear your frustration.. I also am dealing with build quality issues.. I will try and see if the dealership can get them fixed if not I may get rid of it while it still has low mileage.. good luck !

  1557. I want one so bad but have to wait 3 years... Friggin bugs and insects.. I just signed a 3 year Tacoma lease so we'll see what is going on at that time.

  1558. The % rate was too high for to long. Now that the % in my region is as low as 0.99% it helps but people have a lingering impression that they will cost waaaay too much per month but a lot of that had to do with the 7.99% or 8.49% rate attached to them adding hundreds to the payment

  1568. Selling price way too expensive! The US car market has been building vehicles by the thousands! Expecting the consumers to buy their products, American's are a wasteful society, here today gone in three year's. The moment you buy a new vehicle, it's already depreciated 12/14k dollars your stuck with That. I'm never buying a new vehicle again.

  1585. Last spring I seriously considered a new Tacoma Limited, test drove one, could actually get it at near sticker. Did have a ceramic coat, $1500 markup funny because the same place did my Camaro Zl1 for $1100, oh well. Anyhow I did like it but, there was a catch, it had a stop sale and they said I wasn’t really able to buy it yet. Also had a rattle coming from the back area, seemed like back seats or underneath it. Kinda gave me pause, and really did not sit well with me. Slept on it, then next day went back to another Honda Ridgeline (24 Black Edition). Suits my needs and was $11000 less out the door so paid cash and that was that. So far so good, no issues. And that 11k saved went into my RZR fund…
    1
  1586. Just rolled over to a 2024 cost us $700.00 ] more which included base price increase plus $100.00] more for shipping. I hope this is the end of these price increases before the build

  1587. Thanks for being honest

  1588. Love my Army Green 2021 long bed OR. 35k trouble free miles. Hardly any depreciation.

  1589. It was Obama's idea to get more miles and efficiency out of S.U.Vs by 2030.....looks like that hasn't worked. Back to the drawing board.

  1591. Nice review, thanks.

  1592. Love the vid and totally agree with you they need to drop there prices by 50k just to be closer to what they are really worth and I’ve been a gm guy for 50 yrs now but refuse to pay these prices these prices make me sick to my stomach
    1
  1593. Bronco is sick af. I wish I had the cash to get one. Try to test the base trim too.
    1
  1594. Ford is advertising F150’s for only $200.00 a week for 8 years and they are 2022? They are selling 3 year old trucks for $70,000!!! Hahahahaha
    1
  1595. I love my Ridgeline. 2nd one.
    1
  1596. The Gladiator is a joke in the sense that it's not a real truck nor a wrangler... Much like the old Scrambler they made a vehicle that appeals to 0.05% of the population (mind you I love the look of them but the lack of functionality makes them a no go).
    1
  1597. 90% OF NEW CARS AND RV'S ARE SALVAGE YARD BOUND,JUNK

  1598. Bought a Fusion Hybrid and a Bolt EV...both together for $45,000 in 2020. And almost no money spent on fuel.

  1599. Thank you for showing the back seat space. Just for reference, how tall are you?
    1
  1600. I love the polarizing design. Then again I'm also a fan of both modernist and brutalist architecture and design. The build quality and pricing leaves MUCH to be desired though. At its OG specs it would easily have no problem selling 2 million. At its current price and build quality? NO WAY!
    1
  1601. People have had to have vehicles, for purposes of fashion, not utility, and have not given a crap about quality. They've 'had to have it', because the Joneses didn't have one yet. Mostly 'conservatives' ironically.

  1602. Stay 90 toyota 4x4 sr5 extra cab 3.4 v6 stick power windows locks sunroof black in color throw new parts on 4x4 sr5 toyota cheaper buy new tacoma 13999 dollars new 90 sr5 extra cab black 3.0 v6 new had rebuild v6 found 4 runner wrecked 3.4 v6 transmission too seats better than mine use too put seat covers over them keep getting rip or torn
    1
  1603. I would argue that the trade in offer that guy got was on point for what the truck should have sold for originally. The real gouging was what he paid for it when initially buying it brand new. Toyota isn't alone in the realm of the overpriced and the less reliable. Now, they're just swimming in the sea of sub par vehicles we in the states have shown them we are so willing to buy. Toyota watched us buy other manufacturer's crap for so long, why not make inferior vehicles too? Why continue to make good when bad sells so well here?
    1
  1604. A real truck has two tow hooks 😆

  1607. i bet they never changed the oil but car sits there for 500 days
    1
  1608. Toyota trucks have always been junk! The only reason why Tacoma’s became number 1 mid size selling truck is because Nissan Frontier was it’s only competition. Now Ford and GM are building better trucks and Nissans are ok. One of these 3 trucks will overcome Toyota Tacoma Turds! I saw 5 Toyota Tundra’s at a Ford Dealership yesterday…I’m surprised the dealership ever traded for that junk!
    1
  1609. Good content!

  1615. Definitely the pro4x
    1
  1616. Seriously... They could take the sissy garbage off a Wrangler and put a fair price on it. Build it like the 2005 models.
    1
  1617. I think that with a 50 percent discount I would be encouraged to buy one hahaha 😂😂😂

  1618. 3rd gen looks better

  1619. Make yourself some extra dough. Sell it, it's very sought after.
    1
  1620. I just got one myself, I honestly love just how "basic" it is. It goes far on a full tank, which is pretty cheap to fill up. I think cars such as these need to be more commonplace in today's expensive world.
    1
  1621. 48, 000 is the highest i found on a simple google search

  1622. Yeah the sync 3 just seems like they didn't care much lol Should of been sync 4! Great review, I like the new layout

  1623. If you ever wonder why we are paying so much for new cars. GM CEO, Mary Barra made $29 millions Stellantis CEO, Carlos Tavares made $24.8 millions Ford CEO, Jim Farley made $21 millions
    1
  1624. They better start selling trucks because Nissan has kill Altima and Maxima
    1
  1625. Great video!!’ Facts!! Did we ever think that an American made nothing car would be the same price as starting super cars!! The trx 130k Hellcat 180k WTH!!! Just bought a 2025 Mercedes AMG 53 coupe!! Listed 110 after specials got it down with trade to 80k for a MERCEDES!!! This Ram, Dodge, Jeep GMC pricing is crap!! Local jeep dealer has a 110k wrangler on lot!!! Crazy Being greedy!! Keep doing the videos educating peeps!!
    1
  1626. $30K, plus the $3,500 TO $4,000 in dealer up charges.
    1
  1627. You’re absolutely right brother
    1
  1628. Warranty costs must be insane on such an offroad monster, because people tend to abuse them in most egregious ways. And I guess that's why you pay so much upfront.
    1
  1629. Ugly way to expensive and not practical for me
    1
  1630. They can keep it for that price! Let them sit in the lot! That’s ridiculous pricing!
    1
  1631. Pure expensive junk.
    1
  1632. Is antenna removed or not attached yet?? It looks way better with this one
    1
  1633. Its not just ford, all major oems are priced out of touch. It all started under bidenomics and has only gotten worst.
    1
  1634. Answer to the question? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
    1
  1635. Wish they were giving them away in Australia. Older used Mustangs still asking new car prices when new and 2024 models asking $70,000+ for a 4 cylinder and $90,000+ for a bog standard V8, quickly over $100,000 when you start optioning up.
    1
  1636. Cool car. I remember liking those decades ago but forgot about them as I haven’t seen one forever in the road.
    1
  1637. SR5,T100,2002 Tacoma,an 2018 Tundra. Thats it,no more,we bought a Ridgeline. Good bye Toyota after 35yrs.
    1
  1638. I have a 1997 GMC Sierra with 115k on it. I just did tires, intake manifold gaskets and new fuel injectors. I ordered a Maverick a year ago and supposedly have one going to be built for me in April. But the GMC runs so well and I don't drive all that much, a couple thousand miles a year. Do I pass? I know if I got 40 mpg I'd drive a lot more than if I only got 12 or 14 mpg so it's always a tradoff.
    1
  1639. Totally delusional. I can't do it. I wanted a 4runner sooner or later. I'm not paying 60k for a 4 cylinder turbo. Guess it will be a rav 4 I don't know.
    1
  1640. That crazy. 50k for a little truck?? It’s 50% over priced!
    1
  1641. You said that they could have done a better job with the center console what should they have done
    1
  1642. I thinking about the 2025 VW Jetta 6spd manual. Well you stated it. VW sells has been going up and stable because they overall have been offering vehciles at a reasonable price.
    1
  1643. Any thoughts on the Vulcan V6 model? The forestry service has one for sale with super low mileage. 2005. And I guess you've got to like bright green.
    1
  1644. I had a 2013 titan pro 4x. Loved it. Then they made a boring ugly clone like everyone else.
    1
  1645. I just watched a guy on his channel yesterday that just purchased this exact vehicle for 48K, he didn't mention the dealer but it was a 2024.
    1
  1646. I wouldn’t pay more than $32,000 for any of those, new.
    1
  1647. They know the government will bail them out.
    1
  1648. i dont want 4x4, SR5 addition plus cold weather pkg, nor pay the market adj. just throwing money away. plus they are ugly. id rather have the blue Camry parked nearby. at least is looks better.
    1
  1649. Ford has a reliability problem with the engines in these vehicles, and the prices are unreasonable. Ford should get better management in the front office.

  1650. Dude, I love the new Bronco. Ask Marna if they ship to Jay-pan.

  1656. My 1st gen Tacoma works well. Will last way longer than all of these trucks.
    1
  1657. My 2023 Sport tows my 3640 lb Ranger Bassboat with ease and was 26k less than a GMC Sierra SLE Crew Cab 5.3. I didn’t want sun roof or leather. The last 2 GMC’s I owned for >14 years each. I expect this Honda to outlast me. Put an A.R.E. tonneau cover on. They don’t leak … period. Surprised at compliments when getting gas. I still refer to it as a Barbi Truck. Do I miss GMC? Yes but told multiple dealers they were on drugs for price. So far 13 months 7800 miles of maint free ownership. 1 recall with wiring harness at tail gate. I chg oil every 5k miles & tranny fluid 30k. Fluids are cheaper than parts.

  1658. Wow That dealership, has locations up in my area in Maryland, and I heard from others, that they are not very customer friendly

  1661. what's the controversy with this car?
    1
  1662. Very happy to see a Hummer Ev priced so high because only the rich & woke crowd with spend that kind of money on an overpriced dud.
    1
  1663. I'll wait until the 4runner is out, then I would consider taking one new at a discount... say 10k less, or else. I think Toyota made a mistake not offering the V6 available in the Lexus GX. Not having a 3rd row option there is nothing separating this from the upcoming 4runner other than style and price. One tactic dealers might employ is markup the 4runner, essentially leaving this a 'viable' option.
    1
  1664. With regulations rolling back here in the U.S. Nissan would do well to be the first with a vehicle for the masses. Particularly, a small truck. The Versa is the about the only utility car out there priced under $20k but the use of CVT's is hurting Nissan's rep. They might do well to source another CVT or move back to traditional auto's. The small truck market is ripe but currently empty. It would be a good spot for them to be the first back into that market and give themselves a boost. In a world or $30-50K cars and trucks affordability is being left behind. These emissions roll-backs are opening a door and someone needs to run, not walk, thru it.
    1
  1665. They will all fail again and the government will bail them out again... it's all bullshit
    1
  1666. I bought a new 90 4x4 ex cab v6 for 17,300.00 Toyota got big. When they get big they don’t care about the average person.
    1
  1667. Have a 22 best trucks around
    1
  1668. 😂 a lot of owners in the comments? Look Kia and EVs have horrible resell. I’ve owned 2 Kia’s and 1 Hyundai this guy is 100 correct, this is waaaaaaaaayy over valued. I’m older now and will only buy vehicles with good resell (part of the cost of ownership people)
    1
  1669. i guess this will be better than my 99 sonoma sls. ;)

  1670. WTF, $54,000 for that turd!

  1671. Cool video rev. I agree with you. I like the last generation Ridgeline. Fantastic interior.
    1
  1672. The worst insurance scam is if you have to use your car for your job. I’m a traveling sales rep and sadly for most big corporations these days they no longer give you a company car to use. Instead, they now give you what’s called a car allowance. But here is the catch. Because you are using your vehicle for work they demand that you get higher coverage liability. This extra liability insurance raised my insurance from around $80 to $450 a month! So that nice car allowance that is supposed to be used to maintain your own car you are using for your job now all just mostly goes to pay for the ridiculous higher insurance! It’s fraud really. A corporation is a political entity and we need to start demanding more rights. Oh and they run a check on my car and drivers license every quarter to make sure that I still have the same ridiculously expensive higher liability insurance. And if I don’t I would get fired. And my corporation makes 28 billion dollars a year. I’m sure the shareholders all make 30 million a year, year after year. How about just give us a F’ing company car?

  1673. I bought the XLT Hybrid w/Lux and i love it ! Tacoma is too big and Santa Cruz is too Ugly !

  1674. My G37 mops the floor with a mustang
    1
  1675. It's way too costly. The bronco was supposed to be a cheaper option to the larger vehicles. Now you can't get a decently packaged bronco for anything less than $62,000
    1
  1676. Too expensive to repair. You can't take it to a regular mechanic, unless advertised.
    1
  1677. Great video !

  1678. Just did a tune up on my 1995 chevy 1500 65.00. new aluminum radiator with new hoses and thermostat 275.00. good to go for another 75k miles😊

  1680. Toyota's reputation is in the TOILET.
    1
  1681. It’s real ugly!
    1
  1682. I’m thinking with all the new standard features the price of the 2025 is going to be a lot more . I’ll be the guy pushing for the 2024 deal as the 25s hit the lots .
    1
  1683. Because it’s made in Mexico now!!
    1
  1684. They look like big ugly cars with a little box in the back. And screw the prices. Let them rot on the lot.
    1
  1685. I start as an auto mechanic in the 70 ' s , we were paid 50% of the shop rates as the years went by, the shop rates escalated, and the percentage of rate went down. We supplied our own tools, and the costs went up exponentially. I left and went to the oilfield
    1
  1686. Weird in So. Cal. all the VW are on sale, no mark ups.
    1
  1687. I very much blame the shady practices the most shops use. Its all quantity over quality. But there is also the fact that cars are literally harder to work on because they are made cheaper with special parts and you cant just walk up with a set of wrenches and sockets anymore. You have to have a thousand dollar scan tool with the proper clearance just to figure out what’s wrong with them. And then the special tools dont stop there. I worked at a bunch of shops in 2020 and the pay is just as bad as 2004 but now there is even less jobs because less people have the proper tools and training.
    1
  1688. It's about time someone said it looks like the Camaro! I do see Mustang DNA but in a few months it will look great. Thank you

  1689. Hate Jeep with a passion. Turned into a rich snob car. Not even an America car it’s Indian ( India company )
    1
  1690. 😂😂😂Kmart interior 😂😂😂, I'm laughing but it is sad 😢, they destroy it. $60,000 for a 4cyl, turbo. I will keep my 23 TRD PRO which has now 8,000 miles.

  1691. They are all the same now. Might as well just buy what you enjoy. There isn’t a safe bet anymore

  1692. Nice video

  1693. people keep buying these toyotas even though they are overpriced junk now because they either have brand loyalty or dont do research to find out that toyota has dropped quality like everyone else now
    1
  1694. When I learned the reality of this pay structure I immediately decided being a mechanic was not for me
    1
  1695. I 100% agree with you in this car. And if you want to try a Lotus try to find a 410 exige from 2020. It has a 3.5L V6 with a supercharger!
    1
  1696. That Ranger is nice. I had a 1996 Ranger 4 liter manual. I grew up in Washington before moving. Right in the middle of the state near Moses Lake. I wish you the best of luck with your Maverick and that Ford shop.

  1699. Stellantis ruined Chrysler/Dodge

  1700. Unless the us automakers bring back affordable cars it's only going to get worse. Much worse. Folks will just repair and maintain their current vehicles or buy and maintain a used one.
    1
  1701. 70k and 80k or more is crazy!!!
    1
  1702. Not owned by America. As a 3 time Jeep owner, I never considered a Jeep, bought a loaded 2022 Telluride which is rated as one of the best every year with an unbeatable warranty. Not American owned NoMo!
    1
  1703. Why the mark-ups if they have several to choose? It's not like there are 2-3 on the lot; it's no longer 2022. While I'm not a truck person, Toyota did mess up the new Tacoma.
    1
  1704. Dealerships are greedy period I priced 3 identical Toyota Tundras and 1 had an after market tint job and the dealership added an extra $985 for the tint total rip off,,, shop around 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤😮

  1705. 4runner oil changes are a royal PIA unfortunately

  1707. We have a 24 Frontier Pro4X in Boulder Grey, We love it. Funny thing is, it's name is Rocky.
    1
  1708. Fun fact. The 7 seater has slight more leg room in 2nd row vs 5 seater. Most likely because the middle row is on rails and is slightly moved back. Also has slightly more hip room but slightly less headroom. Matches the wider rear of the Model Y and sloping roof glass. Check it out in the owners manual. =)
    1
  1709. ...and you can forget about insuring one of these overpriced puddle jumpers - that expense has jumped way up beyond anything affordable for the average consumer. Mass production in America used to make cars affordable for the average working-class guy - now greedy American automakers have turned the "Economies of Scale" upside down by manufacturing what they call "High Value Added" goods that no-one can really afford anymore - except the rich upper class of course - what a waste. Moreover, these Fords do not have the quality, or the durability built into them to last.
    1
  1710. Just bought a ‘21 Tundra Platinum, V8, low mileage, wind chill pearl, 1 owner for $47. Pure gold!😊

  1711. 2025 tacomas are $20K over priced......plus reliabilies are another story with these newer models.
    1
  1712. My neighbor had his new Maverick for a few months. I just noticed the other day he has new Ranger now. Not sure what happened yet but I am hearing of a lot of problems with this truck.
    1
  1713. I just do not have confidence in the new IC engines on these trucks. I can afford one, but I do not consider the risk worth the price. I will hang on to my 2016 truck and repair it as needed.
    1
  1714. What, no more dealer markups?
    1
  1715. These manufacturers and dealers played chicken and now we are blinking as consumers. Plus interest rates are stupid. Let them sit there and rust

  1716. Expensive defective junk! Really!😂😂😂

  1721. Funny was going there next week, CANCEL THAT….
    1
  1722. That's a $3,000 truck
    1
  1723. Why be a car mechanic when you can make more in just HVAC or a union job?! You need a fraction of the skill and don't need many tools. Kids stay away from mechanic work, it doesn't pay. Just work on your own stuff at home.
    1
  1724. I hate being in the Southeast Toyota region. They are the worst.
    1
  1725. Like buying a brand new used ride. Soon to be in shop
    1
  1726. I've got a 2017 Tacoma 4x4 limited and don't plan on selling it.
    1
  1727. Bro that’s pretty normal for buying a new car your never gonna get msrp from a dealership that marks up vehicles with their “packages” and also making a trade. You don’t make money on a trade or buying a vehicle. Only exception is if your buy in cash only.
    1
  1728. Neighbor bought one. Cant' keep it out of the dealers shop. Leaks rain water everywhere. She's looking for a real Bronco now - Like mine. Haha. I bought it new in 94' for 20k and busted my ass to pay it off within a couple years. Been rolling ever since! None of this new junk will be running in 30 years.
    1
  1729. Bring back v6
    1
  1730. Bought my ridgeline for 40k. Don’t regret my decision even tho it should’ve been 35kb
    1
  1731. You are much better off buying a Ford Ranger raptor, a far better truck and in most cases less money.
    1
  1732. I would go for a non lightning F150 with a 5.0 or I6, still the same truck and driving satisfaction at a cheaper price!
    1
  1733. It seems that the "Big Three" are in a mad dash to be the first to go bankrupt and beg for a bailout. How else can you explain this insanity?
    1
  1734. I would go to the Lexus dealer immediately
    1
  1735. 2:26 Thats worse than trade in on my 2024 Colorado Trail Boss. I'd pay mid 20's for a Tacoma like the one you speak of here in this video.
    1
  1736. 🍿 i love watching this shitshow of greed evolve into the abyss

  1737. I didn't know about this and went to buy a Ridgeline last week and was told they couldn't sell me one. Now I wait...

  1738. Those bronze wheels look great! Did you say 19 or 20" ? I thought they went down in size? If year goes great I might part with my golf for this.

  1739. 67k you can get a dark horse 🐎 if you can find one without mark up 😂

  1740. No one wants that crap !
    1
  1741. And this is why I get around using a 2022 Honda NAVI 110cc Moped that takes me practically everywhere and I'm getting 110 MPG @ 55 MPH on local lroads!

  1742. I've got an XLT, I like it just fine if I wanted an off road truck I would buy a taco trd. But to each there own. There was one tremor on the ford lot by my house for a day and it sold lol, it was probably sold before it got the lot.
    1
  1743. My '04 Fx4 had the same problem with the corners of the front bumpers. They have a tendency to sag like that because they're attached with plastic clips that tend to break easily, especially because they're exposed to the elements.
    1
  1744. TRD OFF ROAD WHITE OR RED
    1
  1745. “Bidenomics” Is Unpopular for Good Reason
    1
  1746. Toyota quality went shot to hell, they put greed and profit over the consumer. Watch out for those square badge security guards.
    1
  1747. Was about to say that here 8n Australia the JL is 60% more than what the JK was.
    1
  1748. They are garbage anymore!
    1
  1749. Just bought one stickered for 38k paid 34k.
    1
  1750. Its the same here in Canada. I have walked out of several dealerships over the past week. No deals at all and the arrogance that these dealerships have. Its mind boggling.
    1
  1751. Id go with that old f150 in the background....
    1
  1752. nice review
    1
  1753. ... there's a "dealer" I'll Never go to - $ 3k extra for Nitrogen air & 2 other BS charges - ... lol ...
    1
  1754. Tundras are having engine failures, Tacoma are having transmission failures.
    1
  1755. Damn for the pro4x with all the same stuff "Barebones" as the one you showed its 40k here.
    1
  1756. I just want a 6 foot box with the larger cab!
    1
  1757. The better deal would be the 5.0 Regular Cab for $38K, although I'd likely dump another $11K into having it Stage 2 Whippled. Not a work truck at that point; just a fun toy with 775 hp.
    1
  1758. The only Nissans worth buying is the rear wheel drive vehicles. All the others are junk. Cvt transmissions fail way too early. Nissans downfall was merging with Renault
    1
  1759. I got a nice new Tacoma 4x4 last year for 42k and I thought that way high.
    1
  1760. this is a lovely cars
    1
  1761. The GOAT SUV, period.
    1
  1762. I had 2 new cars . First bought in 2005 and second in 2016. Both times my insurance cost me more than car payment and both cars were Econo subcompacts. We have a major recession coming in a decade or so because people won't be able to move around affordably . Entire economy will grind down to stop.
    1
  1763. When will the ‘Stealership’ go out of business?
    1
  1764. Good chance the "tech" who serviced your vehicle used to wash the dealership's cars and has no formal training or degree. Sad but true.
    1
  1765. I like your review, I would personally pay $5000 more just to have the naturally aspirated 1.1 duratec 3 cylinder that puts out 84 hp .
    1
  1766. They are insanely off-road… Since they are still at the dealership lot.
    1
  1767. NOBODY wants a very unreliable POS that costs $55,000. When I was in high school in the late 1990s, a fully loaded top of the line Wrangler cost less than $19,000! Even if I adjust for inflation it comes to only $38,000. The extra $17,000 is stealership/Stellantis greed.
    1
  1768. If I needed a WORK TRUCK, I would only go RAM.
    1
  1769. I would argue. Jeep Wrangler is so much more reliable and capable off road than broke dick ford Bronco.
    1
  1770. Bad ass. The car was made to do one thing exceptionally well. It succeeded. Sounds great and is very unique. Can’t ask for much more. Great car. Fantastic performance.
    1
  1771. Gimme a running late '70s to late '80s pickup truck any day. (Reg cab with 8' box)
    1
  1772. Definitely not buying anything especially with a dealership with mark-ups. Greed at its best
    1
  1773. Honda, Toyota, and subaru lots seem to be doing ok.
    1
  1774. Thanks for being transparent about everything man! You’ll find something new you like soon.
    1
  1775. Really looks good
    1
  1776. A concern facing with new cars: warranty work at dealerships. It’s all dependent on dealers. I had to drive 30 miles further vs my local dealership to get proper respectable svc. Don’t know why some cld be complete a-holes.
    1
  1777. Really like really. Warren Buffet couldn't afford this shit!!!!!!!😮
    1
  1778. I am more of a if it looks good then why not. But your reason makes sense.
    1
  1779. Toyotas are now officially junk, just like the rest. Everyone knows about the Tundra engine deal, and Tacoma frame rust issue, and the camry oil-burning engine issue. My wife's 2006 Solara just lost a head gasket- find out there are known issues with the head bolts pulling the threads out of the block, $5,000 to fix bolt holes and replace head gasket (junking the car). She wants another Toyota so she is getting one, but I am happy with my old Nissan Frontier. Other than that issue with the radiator, cured before I bought mine, they are reliable vehicles. Just wish the transfer case had a neutral, but at least it has a low range (unlike Colorado and Canyon). Take care.
    1
  1780. Ford’s pricing model is not making any sense. That’s the biggest problem and then nobody wants to finance that much money with these high interest rates so it’s a double whammy. No one wants to pay $1000 a month to finance a car
    1
  1781. 92k for a 4 banger? Gtfoh.
    1
  1782. Pretty cool!
    1
  1783. Lmaooo that shii was not stealth at all think Ima just leave it in sport forever 😭
    1
  1784. Who made you the authority on the best Maverick?
    1
  1785. The dealers are far too delusional & they're just greedy ass..les
    1
  1786. All these idiots buying the 2024/25 Tacoma will be disappointed with their transmission failures just like all the 2022 tundra owners who now have blown motors.
    1
  1787. Good job on this video!
    1
  1788. These small trucks are going for full size truck prices. Why the hell would anyone want to pay the same amount for a smaller truck, tighter (and usually not as nice) interior , smaller bed, smaller back seat, less towing , etc etc . the argument for gas mileage is also becoming irrelevant now too bc full size trucks have damn near the same gas mileage. makes absolutely no sense to me.
    1
  1789. Love the Ridgeline had three of e'm best trucks on market.
    1
  1790. Current truck has 100,000 miles on it, not buying another until I see a major price correction
    1
  1791. This is what I look for in a truck. Utility! Fuel pump and ignition to repair only. No turbo or sensors to fail!
    1
  1792. 💥Navigation System - Anyone have this truck with navigation? My question is will I have to pay a subscription fee to use navigation feature after a year or two?
    1
  1793. Toyota has ruined most all there cars/trucks with these junk turbo engines that will not see 300k miles without a major repair bill. Small engines in large cars/trucks do not last. All for no MPG gain i get 18MPG in my V8 Tundra and you don't buy a truck for MPG.
    1
  1794. Just got a titan for 13k off.
    1
  1795. People don't have money to buy any cars. That is why they are not selling.
    1
  1796. TO DAMN MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON EVERY VEHICLE..
    1
  1797. It's ugly
    1
  1798. Hi Rev. Love the Lariat
    1
  1799. The base models are ugly AF, but the white base models seem to look decent though. What's weird is these models are actually sitting on the dealer's lot in my area collecting dust.
    1
  1800. Excellent video sir
    1
  1801. Honda dealer in Peoria Illinois made me buy a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE Nightshade Edition.....ty Bob Lindsey Honda!!
    1
  1802. ...and Rubicon still sporting that not super reliable Pentastar V6. I wouldn't touch Toyota's turbo 4 hybrid with the stick. And at that price, well, they can keep it. Not that I am particularly fan of Stelantis, but still.
    1
  1803. I just got a fully loaded 23' XLT F-150 for $66k CAD out the door. Whatever that is in the US ~50K I would assume. SO yeah, i would say 47K sticker for a Ranger is ridiculous. Also, if youre just driving around town, why are you buying a truck? Sure, the Maverick is cheaper, but it isnt a truck. It cant tow anything.
    1
  1804. it's an suv-amino
    1
  1805. Looks ridiculous. No, thank you.
    1
  1806. Surprised no step rail on the lariat. Would have dressed it up a little. Definately nothing amazing with the looks. The colorado and tacoma both brought more modern looks. Other than a few tweaks to the headlights and grill you could have told me this was the new 2012 f150 and i wouldnt argue. With the delays on bringing this to market the colorado/canyon/tacoma will have had a big jump on ford.
    1
  1807. Bring back the Safari
    1
  1808. That's when I invested. Got in at the ground floor.
    1
  1809. LOVE the tan interior
    1
  1810. I don’t want a small 4 cylinder engine with a turbo. I wish they hadn’t done that. No way I’m buying at that price .
    1
  1811. I just got mine yesterday 👍
    1
  1812. I always loved this car. One of the greatest bangs for buck ever produced.
    1
  1813. @ I am partial to the 8th gen Civic SI myself but always had the greatest respect for these cars. The amount of power you could get out of one of these things for the price was amazing. I don’t think it’s ever been duplicated since. Enjoy!
    1
  1814. Insurance and exsise tax in my state alone is a deal killer…
    1
  1815. That place will be a tobacco store in a yr.
    1
  1816. Just like the rest of new vehicles.... out of the price range of its target customers. Car manufacturers are in serious trouble!
    1
  1817. I got all 2008 and older every now and then something major breaks for instance had whole ac replaced on f250 1700 sure thats alot but for some people its one payment😅
    1
  1818. Stopped by Infinti just to see how much the 2025 Q80 was priced at, $105,000. 😂
    1
  1819. Honda’s quality is going down and down. I have a 2021 Honda Passport bought new, the body panels shifted in the past two years, now uneven panel gaps all over especially the rare end quarter panels, rare doors etc. The driving experience goes downhill as well, more body rolls when the suspension softens up over time. And the car called for a rare differential oil change only at 12k miles, no, it was not a dealer recommended service, it was the freaking service code proudly displayed on the dashboard. At 17K miles, the service code said I need to replace break fluid. WTF, I have own many Honda in the past 30 years and I have never seen this kind of craps! The informtament system is glitchy too, sometimes it just drop all the radio signals, now from time to time telling me my phone was disconnected and in the same message saying my phone is connected. The Honda sensing system also glitchy, every time I drove over certain part of the road, it told me to break! While there is nothing on the road. It happens every time at exactly the same spot on the same road, may be there is some radar signal near by that jam the car’s radar. Of course all problems can’t be reproduced at the dealership.
    1
  1820. Toyota was too ambitious with all the changes trying to modernize & catch up to the other manufacturers and it bit em in the ass.
    1
  1821. You should see the lots in Canada. Dealerships are generally empty with no selection. Everything is by order only with unknown wait times. 😂
    1
  1822. I don't see why they need to put an iPads in cars.
    1
  1823. Dont forget sales tax excise tax and insurance and a tank of gas.
    1
  1824. I would do your homework on lemon law .
    1
  1825. I love my XL Hybrid with a moonroof, 2k tow package, center console plug 🔌, dealer added remote start alarm and key pad access, I can't wait for my Tremor XLT with moonroof and sliding back window😲😲
    1
  1826. Every profession is becoming a scammer like mechanics, I rather live poor than rip people off but than they treat me bad because I'm not a show off that scams people for money.
    1
  1827. Can't wait until we catch up on inventory here in Canada because it's still impossible to get a Toyota deal up here.
    1
  1828. I had a 2017 Versa and loved everything but the CVT, if it were a manual I would’ve kept it till this day and more
    1
  1829. Look at that black one beside it lmaooo no wonder its not selling when I can get an older model thats way better
    1
  1830. I really like that SUV. I'm honestly considering it now after your video.
    1
  1831. I buy from private seller. Screw these dealerships
    1
  1832. THANK GOD the populace is waking up to the fact our Slavemasters i.e. "shareholders" & the business community is mostly organized crime, greedy soulless 'investors' or wannabes living way, way beyond their means. This new generation doesn't give a whiff about status, wealth, etc as they've watched their parents go poor & KNOW they'll never see it.
    1
  1833. I think the cheapest truck is a RAM 1500 classic
    1
  1834. Was this a 2022 carryover order or was 2023 your first order. I placed an order for that vary model and trim and yet to hear a word about it.
    1
  1835. And no one wants to work, this generation is demoralized debunked detached…. Have to wait months to see a doctor, get a window pane replaced or many other things done..,
    1
  1836. i love the tesla callout, only because i own a tesla M3 AND a 2023 frontier… LOVE switching between them (sarcasm).
    1
  1837. Agree: those giant Chevys are clowny. GM’s new Acadia and Chevy sibling are larger than my 2000 Tahoe. I don’t take my Tahoe off road. I take my small, nimble Frontier Pro4X off road.
    1
  1838. Virtually every model in my area is going 8-12k below MSRP. I’m tempted to grab a 2023 black diamond advanced for 40k
    1
  1839. RED S model King cab 2WD for usefulness and economy .Should be in the high 20's with discounts. The used S models are listed in the same price range, should be closer to 21.
    1
  1840. The new Tacomas are junk.
    1
  1841. Buddy of mine got a black edition in white fully loaded for 50k. They are really nice though and loaded with features.
    1
  1842. I bought foreign products all my life. If I was looking for a smaller truck today, I would skip the Toyota and buy the GM midsize truck or either a Ranger .....another option is a Ridgeline .. which I own now and it works well for me.
    1
  1843. They're delusional, you're not.
    1
  1844. Tesla’s, byd, and all the ev’s are money pits. The worst draw back is the battery’s. Until they finish the solid state battery the ev in any brand are a joke. While I wish we could do a better on the environment. These current ev’s ain’t it.
    1
  1845. Horrible trade to go into, electrician and plumber are the best trades to get into.
    1
  1846. That’s just crazy, what’s going to happen 5years from now
    1
  1847. Why would someone pay half that much for a very good possibility of engine failure at or before 30,000 miles? Let alone what they are asking for them?
    1
  1848. Just a few years ago, 6 figures cars were reserved for obscenely luxurious vehicles, not oversized mom cars with outdated interior, let them rot on the lot, screw these car companies
    1
  1849. Just drove my 2023 xl hybrid from Tacoma to Arizona. Drive and ride was superb.
    1
  1850. I like those trucks
    1
  1851. OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY $80k for a simple truck. The only thing that sets the truck apart from other trucks is the pretty lights and the exterior chrome.
    1
  1852. they are all plastic
    1
  1853. I detail on the side and I am the cheapest in the area but I also rival all the overpriced services in my area. Karma has been good to me for this.
    1
  1854. Toyota is now junk. Good luck to anyone who buys this crap.
    1
  1855. Toyota has lost their way
    1
  1856. dont worry, the people over in rye ny/grenwhich ct will eat these cars up. gotta flex when getting sushi or starbucks u kno lol
    1
  1857. Trickle-down economics... Working really well, isn't it.
    1
  1858. Window stickers are ready to fall off from sitting outside for a year.
    1
  1859. Been a Toyota family my entire life! Not anymore! All of my buddies that have bought Toyotas for years are done too. This is absolute crap. I will not buy again unless they do a complete 180.
    1
  1860. Thank GOVERNMENT bull crap trying to save the planet by lowering emissions! Car companies have to obey and come up with ways to comply!
    1
  1861. Your thumbnail says it all my friend.
    1
  1862. You may want to consider hiring a pro to do a little paint correction, then ceramic coating. These cars are already instant classics, since this is the last year.
    1
  1863. It’s a hot truck for sure. My local dealer had one of these same equipment in yellow and it didn’t sell so they dealer traded it. I was close to buying, but the color just didn’t fit. Great video!
    1
  1864. My dealer has like 9 at 38,756$ their not gonna sell I’m thinking of waiting for Black Friday and offering them less.
    1
  1865. Do you get 2 vehicles for that so we ones broke down you still have one left.
    1
  1866. They need to go back to selling base models. What they did was take all the aftermarket modifications people would do on their own and add them to the production vehicle. Then they overcharged for the value of these additions. Bring back the base models and let people do the upgrades slowly over time on their own. I took a 2015 XLT f150 and turned it into a Raptor over the last 10 years bit by bit.
    1
  1867. You can lease one for about $400/month or less. That’s pretty damn affordable in today’s world.
    1
  1868. I negotiated with a dealer on a new Chevy 2020 LTZ/Z71 2500HD Diesel. I paid $64,000 and got 35k for my 2015 gas 2500 HD with 75k on it. I literally walked three times. They listed the new one at 72k and offered me 28k originally 😂
    1
  1869. Because buyers want the way better looking and more reliable Tahoe and Suburban!
    1
  1870. I love 4runners!
    1
  1871. Bring back real gauges and ill buy one. Lower the price with these high interest rates.
    1
  1872. Sad, ford products are now crappy. Bronco amongst the worst. Total junk.
    1
  1873. I normally work on my own vehicles, but while traveling got an oil change done by Firestone, in Lakewood, CO, They tried to say they checked the acidity of my brake fluid and recommended it be changed for 230 dollars. Also coolant for 270 dollars. The independant shops are using the scripts from the dealerships. Look out women.
    1
  1874. I've got a 2004 Tacoma pre-runner extended cab with 215,000 mi on it and so if Toyota would get their act together and make another compact truck with a 6-ft bed they got a buyer right here and I bet you there's thousands, tens of thousands of people like me that are just waiting for a truck to use for work .
    1
  1875. u pissed off that u couldnt get a better price..simple as that..:face-fuchsia-poop-shape:
    1
  1876. There needs to be a larger push for direct from manufacturer purchasing.
    1
  1877. I was in a minor accident and insurance put me in a 2024 RAM 2500. I hated every day of it. To Big an impractical for everyday driving. The auto industry has totally played on the emotions of 70s and 80s kids who grew up with the BIGFOOT and other monster trucks! The suckers fell for it and now stress themselves to buy one like their buddies and neighbors. What a bunch of SUCKERS.
    1
  1878. I’ve owned 3 Tacoma’s 1998 and two 2004 but like the look of the old rangers too I want to buy a new truck but my mechanic is saying stay away from ranger stick to tacomas! Anyone else got any more input on this matter would be great? Thanks guys?
    1
  1879. Don't buy new. Buy used fully loaded Pro4x with less than 20k for 33k
    1
  1880. Overpriced and greedy corporate CEOs. Just another American corrupt corporations at work.
    1
  1881. Car companies are losing money on their investments mean cars and trucks just parked and not moving! Don't buy their over priced stickers!!
    1
  1882. So glad I got my 2023 TRD OR, and under MSRP, more than 5k less than this SR5.
    1
  1883. 2025 the 360° cam is much better way better all around few more features
    1
  1884. Sooooo glad I gave up my GM Credit Card😂😂
    1
  1885. I bought a Frontier Pro 4x and I Love it!
    1
  1886. I could care less I ain't buying a piece of garbage I'm not spend the night I wouldn't spend that kind of money on anything nevermind a Jeep those are the garbage of course the Chevys and none of them are any good either to Ford's the motors or if he gets $20,000 out of them you're lucky
    1
  1887. STOP PAYING OVER MSRP! PAYING OVER MSRP !
    1
  1888. Even the Mazda CX line is high
    1
  1889. It is nasty and goes agaisnt the grain and I like the looks a lot. BUT SO HEAVY and way too much fuel consumption for the power.. But wow love the looks
    1
  1890. $37,000 is not affordable. Ill buy a donkey and a Amish carriage
    1
  1891. My 23 XLT hybrid may come in this week yet or next week. Found out yesterday from my salesman that my maverick is in the Twin Cities now, I live about 145 miles away. My truck is also in area 51 and I ordered with a rear hitch, engine block heater, rear sliding window and co-pilot 360. After 10 months, I am happy to be getting it!
    1
  1892. Amazing pickup
    1
  1893. AT4 all the way imo. I'd probably just end up getting the Canyon though because I'm cheap.
    1
  1894. Junk, I’ve owned 5 RAMs since 2015 and not one problem ever !! Now have a TRX monster and not one problem ever ?
    1
  1895. It’s part of a bigger agenda to price the commoners out of their automobiles. They’re taking away our freedom of mobility. It’s exactly from the same playbook as mass illegal immigration for instance. These people aren’t that stupid like they try and lead you to believe.
    1
  1896. It’s an overpriced pos run don’t walk away let it rot on the lot
    1
  1897. This truck with the 4 cyl engine better under cut the Colorado by 5k or it’s gonna be a tough sell
    1
  1898. I got an 05 ford ranger base model just hit 100,000 miles and still going strong, and they the dealership should think what the internet says, it persuaded me to pass on buying the Maverick.
    1
  1899. There’s a whole other side to the economy where some folks are virtually untouched by the “crash” or woes suffered by the rest of the economy and those people also buy shitty overpriced HD trucks to drive to the grocery store, the broke down Tundras to their kids schools, etc. It’s wild. The perception that the economy is tanked is only looking at a part of the economy…like it or not
    1
  1900. Looks like a blind Kindergarten child designed this!!
    1
  1901. Stellantis stock has dropped by 50% in the last 4 months and based on news articles they are pushing for investment into the EV market with 400 million dollars. EVs are not selling and they are going for it anyway. The CEO is delusional and so is anyone in upper management with this company.
    1
  1902. My buddy has an X5... It's a piece of shit.
    1
  1903. I swear at a glance it looks just like a 2020 Tacoma.
    1
  1904. I was able to purchase one that was manufactured after the stop sale was issued. they fixed the issue in production - I looked at the harness and it appears they routed the wires much better in that problem area
    1
  1905. What happened to the Toyota 4Runner I wouldn't get rid of that for a piece of crap Ford
    1
  1906. Let em rot😂😂😂
    1
  1907. I’ve owned 3 Suburbans going back to ‘96 and each went 200k+ miles, 8+ years, and treated me and my family really well. I think I was the typical customer. But, the rate that the MSRP has grown far outstripped my salary increases. I’m liking the Traverse LS (8 passenger) as it’s almost the size of my ‘96 and almost the msrp of my 2012!
    1
  1908. They’re priced like super cars. 195,000.?!
    1
  1909. I think regular trucks will have the same problem soon. There no reason for a truck to be 100,000 for the normal person. Its not justified

  1910. It's crazy...Yukon Denali $105K...Cadillac Escalade $150K+.....Wagoneer $110K,...stop buying and the price will go down, it's simple economics. Maybe not where they should be but way better than they have been... 4 years ago I was looking to buy a truck but Covid drove up prices, there were dealers adding 5K to the sticker. Now they are discounting some Trucks 15K and more. That's a 20K+ swing and a ton of lost profit. I'm still waiting, prices are not done dropping..

  1911. Before buying have your mechanic hook up to SCAN COMPUTER and see why dealer has not fixxxxxed and sold this Lightning. Dealer probably bought it and ran into MAJOR MECHNUCAL PROBLEM. The dealer is pricing this as a collecting vehucle Dealer probably in it $1,500 to $2,000 thinking some one would want to restore it.

  1917. Our Toyota dealer sells vehicles as soon as they get them.The dealership was packed!

  1918. This is almost all blue collar jobs. You are nothing to your employer.

  1919. Auto Tech pay is probably the worst paid trade,I was a union mechanic for 30 yrs. Learn how to trade Futures Dow Or S&P, I now make more money in 2 hrs than I did in 8hr.
    1
  1920. I have an 07” Toyota FJ that would eat that bronco for breakfast & it’s paid off, looks better & is reliable. What a joke Ford.
    1
  1921. And the dealer charges us $180.00 per hour for their techs to work on our car.

  1922. Crvs are too cool degined

  1929. Nissans reputation has gone down the hill..too bad cuz back in the days they made excellent, affordable, and reliable cars..

  1931. Looks just like Tacoma lot packed full 54000 lagging turbo gladly spend 40000 save 14000
    1
  1932. How do these dealers think they can stay in business if the purchase "at cost" is already too high and add "adjusted for market value" mark up? I'm no business man, but it's a "no brainer" that there is a very small percentage of people who make over $200k annually.
    1
  1933. They can rot in the dealer 😂😂😂😂
    1
  1934. Yes. Take the money, while they still have some.
    1
  1935. And you add in the Factory inventing and manufacturing specific tools for repairs and now you’re doing jobs that don’t even pay for the tools. You got guys living on reman noodles to pay for the tools. That maybe work on 3 model years before the redesign and now you need another new specific tool.
    1
  1936. Ford has gone downhill so fast in the past 10 years or so.
    1
  1937. I really wanted one but the price is ridiculous. Also, I’m only 6’2 and I’ve test many suvs but the Bronco is the only one I bump my head on getting in and out. So besides the price it’s not comfortable for me. But Ford lost their way altogether for many years now. Too bad.
    1
  1938. No integrity and honor...greed, greed and more greed 💰😢

  1939. Thanks you for telling the truth because I haven’t seen any drops on price where I be looking at

  1942. New Toyota USA trucks are now junk. Toyota still knows how to make great trucks but unfortunately we don’t get them here in the USA
    1
  1943. I love my quadrifoglio, I plan on keeping it forever. I would buy another if I had the money just to have a spare. I'm serious. If you enjoy driving go pick one up. Very likely the last car that is fun to drive and doesn't spy on you.
    1
  1944. GMC went Woke now they headed for broke

  1945. God bless the Ranger. I have newer more expensive trucks but there is just something special about my beloved 07 Ranger.

  1946. Toyota ruined their trucks and I am glad Nissan is standing alone with a V6. I have owned Tacomas for the past 20 yrs but I will not buy again.
    1
  1947. So glad I left. 15 years was enough
    1
  1948. I left during the 2008-2009 crash and have never looked back. On my 5th startup and loving the busy busy go go of start up life. I've still worked in automotive since, but it's been at the start up level. This happened in 2008 right before the major crash. Good luck to anyone sticking it out in automotive sales.....

  1949. Because of the price.

  1950. I bought 5 new GM TRUCKS,, STILL DRIVE AN 2002 GMC DURAMAX,, BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NEW GM PRODUCT

  1951. Dealer arrogance is turning dealerships into graveyards.
    1
  1952. Unfortunately, you're wasting your time and mine. Businesses have learned that profits are more important than sales volume. They can afford to sit on cars to maximize profit per unit. This will never change because people still buy and spend money. Welcome to the new economy.

  1953. Just purchased the Pro 4X in BLACK

  1954. Local RAM dealer is listing $20k off MSRP lately

  1963. I’ll take this 6 cylinder naturally aspirated motor over any of the turbo 4’s going today

  1964. The money printers always were crazy and nothing has changed. Soon those that pay attention will see that it is much worse than they imagined. Those that go along w/ this garbage are, in fact, consenting to it - not good. It stops when you say 'stop'. Stop purchasing large chunks of malfunctioning plastic from bailed-out, soulless cr33ps. People do not have enough disposable $$ to spend; and it should not have to be wasted paying for overpriced insurance provided by racketeers. Can you imagine someone suggesting "no tax on tips"? Arguably, one should not be taxed on anything! If you do not call the crazy people 'crazy' and put them in an asylum, then you deal w/ the outcome. 👺

  1965. If Toyota put out a 4.0 V6 version of the new Tacoma......Legacy Edition. Theyd fly off the lots.

  1966. Hey Bidenomics...😂
    1
  1967. These 83k trucks don’t even have a sprayed in bed liner. Just stupid prices. I won’t own another pickup unless its old. My first was an 86 B2000, great little truck. Last truck was an 05 GMC Duramax for construction and plow duty that cost 37k new. They wanted 75k to replace that truck in 2020, no thanks. When folks started driving fancy trucks for pleasure the problem started. A few years ago i switched to an overpriced 40k cargo van for work.

  1968.  @revnation_auto  Claro! você tem uma excelente pronuncia.

  1969. That's about 15K OVERPRICED. 👎 Mid 30K would be FAIR PRICE.
    1
  1970. Yeah people buy the base vehicles then start adding stuff and end up spending as much $$$ as the middle or higher trims. I have an XLT AWD Ecoboost with the luxury pkg. I've added a few things but not going crazy with it. So far no problems with it after more than 6k miles.
    1
  1971. I see you are at the dealer on a sunday, this is when my wife and i can freely look at new vehicles without a pesky junior salesperson asking how much can i afford a month, drives me crazy, we never buy new now, always like having a kidney removed

  1972. Do Not buy any vehicle. They are ripping us off.

  1983. I always brought toyota tacoma and Tundra, I am so turned off with these new toyota trucks, not even worth it, I owned 2019 toyota Tundra TRD PRO, love it, and 2016 toyota tacoma, planned on keeping them, I will never buy another toyota trucks if this is the future of toyota trucks, I don't want a V6 Tundra, or 4 cylinder turbo tocoma, I am done with new toyota trucks, like your vedio.

  1984. 25k is more like it
    1
  1985. Tundra's are dtill blowing turbos. I know
    1
  1986. Also, I had a 23 RTL affected by the wiring harness recall. In my opinion it didn’t affect quality because my truck was too new to have any corrosion on the part or loss of camera functionality. However, the delay getting it fixed was annoying and even resulted in a service appointment to fix it and they hadn’t preordered the part and it was a waste of time. I blame the dealer for that. Otherwise no quality issues for me.

  1987. I had a wonderful rental out west with a base Gulia. What a great car.

  1988. Nice

  1989. The whole "car interest tax write off thing" is absolutely BONKERS policy. I hope to god he doesn't do that one. I voted Trump, and I'm a huge Trumper, but we do not need more free gimmie-dats for suburban white women. That's who gets new cars.

  1990. I bought a '10 Subaru forester XT last year for 12k. 63k on it, I love that little car. takes me from a to b, and has 4wd. I bought a '77 Ford 150 6 or so years ago, what a. great truck. Yes, there's maintenance to always do on it, but I own it. Also bought a '05 Porsche Boxster s a few years back as my fun car. And boy, it is!. 25k with 44k on it, the most well built car I ever known or owned. I don't know why people think they need to always buy brand new???
    1
  1991. So you've had the Ranger for awhile... what is your take on this thing? Because I'm stuck between saving for an old Tacoma or just trying to find a decent 2.3 Ranger 5 speed
    1
  1992. Id buy one in a heartbeat if they were like 28k. 42k I’m buying a full-size truck. I can’t afford either.
    1
  1993. I think when Ford Maverick came out in 2022 it was a hell of a lot more popular than Ford bargained for plus supply issues that’s been plaguing the auto industry in general. I think the dust has settled and you will probably get your Ford Maverick a lot faster than last year. I am interested in Ford Maverick because the hybrid claims 42 mpg or something like that. I wanted to start a small service business where there would be a fair amount of driving and it looks like Ford Maverick hybrid checks off a lot of boxes for a small service business vehicle. If it’s half as reliable as Ford Ranger we’re in good shape. My buddy had a Ford Ranger he put through hell and back and it just kept trucking.

  1994. Man, that tundra grill is ugly. Bring back the previous tundra.
    1
  1995. Stellantis will, now (I THINK), try to find a new owner for the combined JEEP-RAM brand. Will totally quit USA production of these. Will change to MEXICAN contract (3rd party) assembly, and WILL utilise external manufacturers for ALL major components (Cummins & ZF, etc.), and will try to find somebody to take these two brands off them. It WILL be a FIRE SALE (a BLOOD-BATH) !!

  1996. Executives and the financial industries have ruined everything, from bogus loans to exotic transactional instruments, and the multimillion dollar salaries.

  1997. The Frontier has more comfortable seating than the Tacoma and the Colorado/Canyon. The only ones that come on the used market are the lease units because people that own them just hang on to them.

  1998. Toyota can salvage their reputation pretty easily. But will they? Maybe poor sales figures will force them to🤷‍♂️

  2001. I live in the Midwest and grew up on a farm/ranch. I love the ridgeline and have been around them since they came out years ago. They were kind of weird to me at first but kind of reminded me of the old ranchero in a way. I had a friend who had one and after borrowing his for a weekend , I was hooked. I have never owned one myself but always have wanted to own one. Unfortunately they just can't quite do what I need a truck to do but I may buy one as a second vehicle to use as a runner. I use a truck as a tool and I cannot get buy with anything less than a half ton rated truck minimum and I usually abuse the ones I have if I am using them. I have only owned 4 - 1/2 ton trucks in the past. 3 with large v 8 motors and the last 1 I traded off was a 2021 Silverado with the 4 cylinder turbo. I almost kept that truck but my camper and car hauler was just a little bit too much for it in the hills and mountains. The engine could not hold back the loads going downhill and I had to use the brakes too much. I am now running a 2500 HD Ram for work and play. I may eventually buy a newer used Ridgeline for my everyday driver and to extend the my life ownership of the Ram. I love everything about the ridgeline and wish it was a little bit closer to 1/2 ton territory. of course it may lose some of the comfort and ride if that happens. I see the modern ridgeline as the new Dodge Dakota from the past. I was the first guy in the area to buy a new Dakota as a runner and worked it like a 1/2 ton truck. I caught hell from everybody until they saw what I could do with it. When a neighbor saw me haul 36 bundles of 75 lb asphalt shingles home to reroof a building with it , he was shocked. He decided maybe it was a real truck. I feel the same way about the ridgeline. In my opinion it is more truck than most midsized trucks and even some new 1/2 ton trucks. A 4 foot pickup bed is not a useful truck. I would have a new ridgeline if it could tow what I tow all of the time but that is not it's slot. The ridgeline would serve 75 % of people and I think they just don't know it yet.

  2017. I have a 2015 base 5 speed auto traditional transmission bought new > non CVT tranny that year on base model. this is the most underrated vehicle. no one, even consumer magazine don't list because everyone wants consumer to spend more expensive vehicle. this is the car you need for basic / long commute / college students if you don't mind driving a economy car. 40 - 43 MPH Highway!!! 30 - 35 city for me. 85,000 miles so far, no issue - I do my own maintenance. for 2024 is even better w/ everything you need. I'm looking for a manual transmission 24 or 25

  2028. The moment this video started, I said, that looks like the place up the Hwy from me. Sure enough, I see that it is. It's not a bad place at all if you're going to buy or get your car serviced. Always friendly. Lately, they have been flying balloons and pasting the year of the car stickers on the windshield. I expected to see rebates, incentives, and price reductions advertised along with that hype... nope! Nothing. Surprisingly, I walked out the door in 2016 with a brand new Denali 2500 diesel, fully loaded for $60k and 1.8% interest. Now, with very few changes, that same truck reaches 6 figures! The payments the size of a mortage, NC yearly property tax, high interest, and the 57% increase in auto insurance costs. Just not worth it. And why? Because you engineered a tailgate 15 different ways and added cameras? It's the same truck. For now, I will keep driving by watching the balloons wave in the air and the suckers make the purchase. BTW- your video is on point.
    1
  2029. I'm looking at a V8 2021 Tundra Platinum with 50k miles for $40,000 total. Why on earth would anyone pay $70,000 for a mid-sized truck??????

  2043. Adding insult to injury are the dealer add-ons and market adjustments that a lot of the Toyota dealers are doing. I refuse to pay full MSRP and I certainly would never pay for the add-ons and market adjustments. Crazy times for sure! Great video!

  2044. Bought a 2016 Lexus GX 460 with only 18,000 miles got it for $32,000 …. Hell of a lot more reliable and off road can probably go anywhere a bronco can go . Oh and it can tow 6,500 lbs 😂

  2049. Ford trucks are junk.....Ohio Assembly Plant builds some of Fords trucks,particularly their commercial versions and has a profit margin of $30,000-$50,000 for every vehicle they build.....Ford has only around $4,500 in each E Series cutaway van but they start at over $30,000 each....That is a profit of around 600% per vehicle.......Do not buy this overpriced junk.

  2050. I bought a new base model Versa in 2018 for $11,500. 60,000 miles now with no issues except for a couple burned out headlight bulbs and a noisy wheel bearing that I replaced myself for $30. Gets over 40 mpg.

  2060. Wasn't a tech personally but worked as a parts/shuttle driver at a chain Hyundai dealership. It was a shitty summer job but paid above minimum wage so I took it. Worst job I've ever worked and probably will ever work. The workplace was extremely toxic. Suits from corporate were breathing down everyone's neck constantly to sell more. The techs got into screaming matches almost every day with the GM. Service advisers were always pulling the wool over their customer's eyes and doing other shady shit. Particular dealer I worked at went through 3 different sales managers in the 4 months span I worked there. Parts were the only guys who actually seemed like living human beings and not husks of themselves, and it was only 4 of us in the department. The strangest thing that happened was when corporate randomly brought everyone into the middle of the sales floor, in the middle of the day with customers, to essentially pep talk us that we're shit and need to sell more (none of this meant anything to me cause I was leaving in the next month to go back to university lol). After I quit, I heard the GM got fired and had to be physically dragged out of the building. It truly was everyone for themselves there. What an awful, awful place to work. Fuck the dealership industry, it deserves everything that's coming to it right now.

  2061. maximizing profit with electrical bells and whistles was a bad marketing move. make it reliable- make it affordable. Stop kissing up to stock holder dividends.

  2062. Thanks for doing this, I always appreciate when guys with similar Rangers to mine do work on their trucks. Purple Collar Life has a similar Ranger and does some work on it as well.

  2069. I paid 1500 for my old Dodge truck ten years ago, Had it painted last summer, {put new tires and brakes on it. I love the old thing and it gets attention everywhere I go. I will pocket the 120000 thousand for my retirement thanks.

  2070. we have it here in Turkiye for $135+K

  2071. Those prices are all right for 2024. The problem is that our salaries have stuck in 2003....

  2072. Looks like I’m keeping my high mileage 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport on the rise for a few more years. Not playing these clowns games. Might even buy a 2nd used 3rd gen with lower miles just to moth ball when this one starts to have too many issues .

  2073. Crappy quality, ridiculously overpriced. People are finally saying "enough".

  2081. Congrats.I had a new 2004 which I put 175k miles on before it started rusting and I sold it.Rare cars,and fun to drive.I loved it and still miss it.I did replace it with a 2017 Mustang Ecoboost which I still have.Good color.Paid $20k new for mine in red.Jealous.

  2083. Totally love my 2025 Black Edition ridgeline. I drove a 2008 Ridgeline for nearly 17 years. Loved it as well. The under bed trunk is fantastic. However it is about 6 inches shorter than the 2008. Also the new Ridgeline does not have overhead cargo lights from the top of the cab. I do miss that.

  2084. ... No cruise and no option.

  2085. They charge way to much for vehicle that's not even luxury.

  2086. I like it! If I could afford to buy one it's the vehicle that I'd buy. The reports that I see and read, and I've researched a lot, it's a great vehicle to drive and own.
    1
  2087. Their quality has gotten horrible and the prices are astronomical…and they are wondering why no one is buying. Yet they keep crying poverty.

  2088. I’ve already rebuilt a engine and trans on a 2014 Chevy don’t need a new one to rebuild 😂

  2089. Yes they were good trucks, Learned this method from my friend that was a dealer technician back in 1980's. I did this for my 83, 88, 91, 2001 Rangers with M50Dr2 Man-Trans.
    1
  2090. You make comments on aspects of design that deal with performance or aerodynamics? This is a well designed, well engineered performance car. The headline says their not selling? In what time are you referring to? Every Honda dealer near me has easily sold the one or two cars they've been allotted. Most, over list.

  2091. Kingcab with long box rules !

  2094. I am begging Nissan or Toyota to bring back small, entry level, single-cab, short-bed, $15,000 work trucks. The sales would be huge and bring in customers you could up-sell then or later. Chevy and Ford have abandoned inexpensive vehicles.
    1
  2095. No Ford is worth more than 20k
    1
  2096. That's how a Saturn showroom looked when I went in one day before they closed for good. Not a good sign but Alpha Romeos are much nicer than they were.
    1
  2097. Another one of your "I hate the Maverick and Ford" click bait. The hybrid should of been optional from the beginning. The Escape hybrid is $3,000 more. Hybrids cost more. They also started with low profit margin because the compact truck was non-exsistent for years and they wanted to build demand. Now that the demand is there they are pricing for normal profit. They are a business with stock holders that want profit. Anyone that has gone through 4 Mavericks, selfishly, and dumped 3 of them shouldn't be listened to by anyone.
    1
  2098. I bought my first truck, a 1992 Toyota with about 20,000 miles on it for $12,000 back in 1994. My second truck, a 2000 Dakota, I factory ordered with the 4.7L V8 for just under $18,000. I miss those days. I had it for 16 years, and put over 314,000 miles on it, until the frame rusted out. Still ran. I think the truck companies will have to rethink their pricing strategy since Ram started to drop their prices now, and it's just the beginning. I wanted to switch to Toyota, but I can't justify the high price/low reliability factor. I'll continue to wait to see what happens.
    1
  2099. The same nonsense has happened with many EV's. They are way overpriced. Some people blame it because they think no one wants EV's. But it's the price. Not the interest in the vehicle.

  2100. I rented a Jeep Gladiator for 4 days This by far the WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER RIDDEN IN YOU COULD NOT PAY ME 1 MILLION dollars to own this disgusting piece of trash
    1
  2101. I think Ford is missing the mark with respect to one of their truck models. I drive a 2007 Ranger M5/I4. I like the smaller sized Maverick truck (vs. newer Ranger). If Ford offered a bare bones Maverick with a reg. cab or access cab, I think it would be quite popular. Today's pricing just makes me covet my 07 Ranger even more.
    1
  2102. Ordered my ranger raptor back in October 2023. It came in 2 weeks ago and I got it for $1,000 under msrp. The dealership was trying hard to get me to walk away because they wanted that 10k markup.. Had to get financed on my own because dealership wasn’t making the numbers work for me.
    1
  2103. Just overpriced junk. Look at the jeep Cherokee ; absolutely ridiculous price tag. It’s no bloody wonder why no one wants them.
    1
  2104. Supercar prices for unreliable junk.

  2105. Im looking at the new 4th gen SR tacoma 4x2 double cab with a tow hitch, no add ons, the dealers think 35k-41k for the a base work truck a good deal.... STUPIDLY OVERPRICED
    1
  2106. BY THE TIME EVERYONE GETS THEIR BIG SLICE OF PIE WHATS LEFT IS WHAT THE WORKER GETS AND THE Y CANT MAKE IT THEY STILL KEEP CHARGING THE CUSTOMER MORE EVERYTHING GOES UP BUT NOT WAGES PEOPLE BETTER FIX THEIR OWN CARS OR QUIT DRIVING HALF OF THE PEOPLE CANT EVEN CHANGE A FLAT TIRE OR OPEN THE HOOD

  2112. We can complain about the prices but what is the actual cost to produce these vehicles. I mean what is the profit margin on them? Are we really getting ripped off?

  2113. In real world driving, the 2024 Taco gets worse MPG than the full sized F-150!

  2114. Awesome find brother. I think you should try the orange decal

  2115. If ya want to keep a truck long after its paid for this is the way to go on a full size & you'll pay less than sticker if you know how to negotiate same thing with nissan frontier it'll run well for 300k + if properly maintained
    1
  2116. When AMC was producing Jeep, they were one of the best 4 wheel drive in the country. Then, Chrysler bought Jeep and turn that product into the worst 4 wheel drive in the world. Fiat is a great sports car and motorcycle company, but it knew nothing about 4 wheel drive. So now, you have a product that looks good, but is still a pile of crap. It is like AMF, a sports outfitter, buying out Harley Davidson in the 70's.... what a joke!!
    1
  2117. Auto lender and car max is buying all them up
    1
  2118. Those Toyota's will sell. It's a sad, sad, world though. Buying a SUV is like buying appliance, just pick the color. Keep the Maverick and buy yourself an all black toaster oven. I think those are coming down in price too.
    1
  2119. All the new vehicles are scrap! Look at the constant recalls on every brand. GM is just totally out of touch with Joe six pack reality.
    1
  2120. 4 cylinder turbo? No thanks. Plus the $53,000 price tag is about $23,000 too much. I'll keep and drive my 2017 Tacoma with the V6 until it dies. F you Toyota and all other car and truck manufactures.
    1
  2121. I think the dealerships have lost their collective minds.

  2122. So many different trims and options (countless) good luck with your selection.

  2123. boomer here never seen anything like this. management at the big three is brain dead. stealerships are greedy or numb to the reality of their dire straights. we will see how this plays out.

  2125. My local dealership in vegas is also slammed with tundras and 4runners

  2126. I have the 2020 TRD Off road I paid 38,000 for, I was upgrading this year to the 2024 but I just can't spend that much for this truck. It sucks but looks like I'm going to the Nissan Pro 4-X. Kills me I've been a Toyota guy for 30 years.

  2127. On the Wilderness, that switch on the console (to the right of the gear selector) is an 80 degree FORWARD camera. It is the only Forester with that. (It comes on some Outbacks). It can be used when stopped or at low speeds. (Not sure what the mph cut off is. Resolution isn't marvelous, but is adequate to see what is in front of you.) The drive modes - that X stuff is for slow speed low traction situations, and might include some hill descent control. There is a "Sport sharp" button on the right side of the steering wheel face, and it improves throttle response and seems to hold the artificial "gears" in lower range for longer. The vehicle felt peppier with that engaged. (I did not drive the Wildnerness Forester, just the Limited trim level). No "econ" mode. (Econ mode = "don't get the Wilderness :)

  2142. I guess they'll blame the unions. (It's not the unions.) Guys who run companies never blame themselves. Guys in charge of these companies ignore the fact that you can make just as much profit by producing a simple lower priced quality product in mass quantities. None of them make a basic truck like years ago. None of them will sell you a basic simple sedan. Someday, one will make this basic truck and car. They will eat the other car companies lunch.

  2144. nope

  2145. Vehicle prices anymore are absolutely insane. I have a 2013 F-150 and I could do a frame off restoration with a motor refresh for less than what it would cost for a new one. I have always liked the Tacoma but at that price thanks but no thanks.
    1
  2146. I'd just get new wheels for the maverick. Steelies don't look great on white or silver. Painted ones look cheap.

  2147. Adjusted for inflation, the 1991 Alfa 164 V6 sedan sold for $68K US ... that was very expensive at a time when you could buy basic transportation (a Yugo) for ~$10,873 (adjusted for inflation). Based on the wayback machine, a $91K Giulia seems pretty crazy since you would think automotive manufacturing should have become MUCH more efficient over the course of 32 years despite having to meet more stringent regulations. On the bright side - the base Giulia is "only" $42K - so by that standard prices actually have come down significantly since 1991. I think Stellantis has over-estimated Boomer nostalgia (and wealth) on all their higher-end models considering Italy's hourly labor rates are only 15% higher than they were in 1991 (again, adjusted for inflation). Add in the pandemic price-gouging for parts, energy and shipping over the past four years - and I guess the $42K Giulia base is a fair deal. The Quadrifoglio models shouldn't cost more than DOUBLE however !!!!!!

  2148. 99k. Maybe get a second mortgage. But I don’t need one that bad.

  2149. What you don't understand is this is DELIBERATE. This is the planned destruction of industrialization. The largest names in industry have taken part in forums sponsored by groups like the WEF (world economic forum) , the CFR, (council on foreign relations) and various other forward looking think tanks. It's called by many names like the WEF's great reset or Kamala's the new way forward. The sooner people understand that it's not incompetence, but global suicide for the many and oligarchy for the few, then you will be enlightened.

  2150. UNDER-PAYED! Period

  2151. The old days you could find that used toyota or honda that just needed oil changes and tires and you could drive those forever seemingly.... now we have CVT's and more complex vehicles with proprietary diagnostics and repairs that can only be done at the dealers... In the end - they want us all living like in that movie Good Morning Vietnam... where we're on bikes, 15 minute cities, and we bow to the corporate feudalism kings like soros, musk/zuck (coke vs. pepsi in my opinion)....
    1
  2152. no offense intended but I am not one who likes what used to be chrome in cars as blackened trim. Just a personal opinion but cars that only have black trim look dull and boring, especially with black wheels that look like they're super dirty and soiled from brake dust. LOL. I guess I am too old fashioned with liking classic cars with their abundant chrome trim and brighter paintwork.

  2156. I can guarantee you that the owners of the dealerships going down aren't suffering like the staff they laid off. They never do. It's been my experience they are usually rich, old monied families who use other human beings as nothing but a means to an end.
    1
  2157. Honestly I wanted one for a while but have not found a single dealer within 70miles of me that comes close to showing customer service, or an honest price, for anything. I don't 100% need the bed utility right now so I actually wound up buying 2x altimas between 2022 and 2023 ... really sad actually cause I liked the thing when I drove it...
    1
  2158. That dealer is paying at least $15/day per car in overhead fees on the inventory which much add up to a sizable waste of money daily.

  2162. I’m not a fan of the rear or the interior on these. The prices have just gotten insane. I’m so happy I was able to get my new 21 with 0.0% financing when I did. Other than the performance pack it’s completely loaded and went for way less than an equivalent 24. I much prefer that to the S650 refresh

  2163. If I had to buy one of these I would opt for the manual gearbox.

  2164. I live in Cali, and trust me we dont have many trucks here. They sell like hot cakes. Took me 8😅 months to get my pro 4x. But i did get good deal. 47k with all the bels and whistles. Not bad compare to the new cheap tacos and chevys. Dont forgwt the 55k ranger too
    1
  2165. There's no mystery here - interest rates more than doubled in a year and most people finance most of the car price. That means that the payments are suddenly twice as expensive. Those crazy price increases only happened when interest rates were historically low and now these cars are out of reach until dealers lower the prices or interest rates drop.

  2171. I recently traded my 2021 in. It's practical but extremely boring vehicle. Has one of the worst infotainment systems and the tech in this vehicle at least with the 2021 was ancient. I made a mistake buying this. Only thing I miss is the tailgate but the rest is in need of a huge update. Gas mileage I never got over 21mpg and it's just a turd. This could be amazing but it's lagging far behind.

  2172. There cars I feel are more ugly and the quality is poor now.Honda F up there new lines of cars u get better cars for cheaper for the other makers build better and look better
    1
  2173. Everyone is shocked at the sticker prices on these trucks, but that's not how the broke people who buy them think. They look at things in terms of the monthly payment. If they make $7,000 per month, the truck is only $1000/month of that so, hey, it's totally affordable right? Of course, after taxes their $7,000 is $5,000, plus they blow $1,000 per month in restaurants/bars, $2,000 on rent/mortgage, still have student loans from 10 years ago, owe $30,000 on their credit cards, and are trying to pay back the $20,000 they borrowed from Mom and Dad four years ago.

  2182. $57K for a mid size truck that is inevitably going to be recalled to have the motor replaced? GTFO of here! It seems like Truck dealers are TRYING to destroy the industry and sink the 'truck market' to validate moving to 90% of trucks just being 'electric grocery getters'...
    1
  2183. Needs to start emphasizing how is an actual work truck as Tesla is now moving into that market big time as well. Ford hybrid F150 at least made an effort but sales for these machines is quite low and yes these are profit machines...when sold in volume. GM ain't making money that matters on this product in these amounts whereas the Ford Maverick and Toyota Sequoia keeps causing more than a few problems for GM which straight up can't even make a sedan period anymore let alone a good one. Verdict: as with everything else the 2025 Models can't come soon enough

  2186. Local dealer got me 16k off sticker for a Grand Cherokee. But interest rates are at an all time high right now, even with decent credit. But if you have the cash, deals are great right now.

  2187. Simple equation to explain the problem: Low quality + nonsense pricing = no sales
    1
  2188. 53k for an SR5 or even a 4x4 Off Road, is ridiculous. No thank you. I will keep my Gen 3 2017 4x4 Off Road. Is the price e so high because of our communist/ socialist government or is it price gouging. I think Government. Let's pray that we get rid of the socialist in charge and bring back true Patriots who love America and her people, then prices may come down. If not we are doomed. I will keep my taco until the wheels fall off if prices continue to rise like this

  2195. Plus, EVERYTHING is 3 screens in on a tablet and it's just a rip off . Tablet programming is far cheaper than manual configuration of switches and dials. It just looks more expensive and most people fall for it as an excuse and justification for the higher sales prices when it's really just a cheap tablet that is way overpriced to replace which will be with everything on one device, and odds are any little thing can be a total tablet replacement AND WHATS EVEN WORSE IS ITS also DANGEROUS . It causes more crashes now more than ever before because you have to take your eyes off the road for EVERYTHING.. Yep, I sure miss those old solid built shifters that left no doubt to what gear you were in. What I hope we come to , and quickly, is a smooth blend of the best of both worlds, modern safety and fuel/energy use and designs with a return to some manual and steering wheel operation positioning for more time for "eyes on the road" driving... we'll get there, that happy medium, a perfect balance...hopefully sooner rather than later. 😊

  2199. People can’t afford all these expensive options. God help you when this garbage goes out of warranty and you have to fix it out of your own pocket. No thanks. I will keep my older model car. Cheaper to own. Very dependable.

  2203. I think it's more than just fuel economy it the bang for the buck. You touched on one the shallow bed. The cubic ft is 33.9 yet the Maverick is 33.6. You touched on mileage and cost both are a contributing factor. Yet I believe there are a lot more reasons they are not selling even with over a decade of a customer base. Some of Ridgeline sales can be attributed to the long waits and no inventory of the Ford Maverick. The trunk in the Ridgeline is a waste, that is if your using it as a truck. If your hauling dirt, gravel etc., how can you access the trunk or more importantly the spare. Also you can not get a full size spare but a doughnut. Now if your off roading, in deep snow, hauling additional weight or pulling a trailer you would appreciate a full size spare tire. Honda raising the bed up to accommodate a trunk makes the bed higher to access. Along with a deep trunk make it a ergonomical nightmare, especially for the lower back. The biggest issue if you live in the northern hemisphere and or going off roading, the lack of ground clearance on the Ridgeline is a deal breaker. Lastly I like the idea of a swing tailgate unfortunately it needs to be half the length of split, as it is it's a safety hazzard, at least in my eyes. It's an accident waiting to happen. Other than the above the Ridgeline could be a contender if the above was corrected and of course better fuel economy without raising the cost. Otherwise the consumer can get everything that I mentioned for less by buying the Ford Maverick. It maybe why they are selling so well.

  2204. The trick to by here pay here is to ask $4k up front but charge another $10k in interest. These people dont get the game. Lol

  2205. Tacoma is very disappointing i agree. I had 3 of them in the previous gen. Great trucks!
    1
  2206. Dont forget that the governments devalued our dollars while forcing prices of materials up. A dollar worth 3/4 of what it used to be allows a 25% increase in cost, even before the increase in material costs. Not to mention contracts that give doctors wages to somebody capable of putting a nut on a bolt.

  2208. Nice video! Have 2020 SR5 Premium. Best purchase I made. Did have 1 issue with steering wheel vibration at 62MPH. Mostly gone away, but swapped out tires for KO2's. Mine came with Grandtrek tires (total garbage, no stopping on wet pavement in Midwest).
    1
  2209. I just watched throttle last night do a rebuild on a red dodge neon srt and literally brought it back to life with a few upgrades throughout the whole video. Brought back memories from my early 96-2000 days when I purchased my Honda Civic SI blue when they first came out. Fast forward 24 years later I wish I still Had my old car and now seeing them be reborn again makes me want one now lol 😂. Enjoy your build on that neon, such a clean looking car.

  2211. I retired 6 years ago after 50 years of working on vehicles. Master ASE, Ford master tech. I have many horror stories but the worst for me was Fords move back in the '90s to cut warranty pay to approximately 1/2 of customer pay because they couldn't afford to correct all of the problems the engineers were designing into the vehicles. The car companies and most dealerships have never cared about the people who have to correct their screwups.
    1
  2212. These manufacturers and dealers show there a$$es. On what they think of the regular consumer. As stupid idiots. They’ll buy .
    1
  2213. In all fairness, a salesman could arrive at a good deal with a customer, but the managers could blow up that deal. The salesman gets commission, but the bosses get more — including money from the service department.

  2214. I really like that shade on the vehicle

  2215. Current mechanic. Only at my job because I have a great boss and I'm paid hourly. Also I'm just considered a lot tech, and I'm the only mechanic. Expectations are very low and my only job is to maintain 7 vehicles of all the same brand and generation. Will never work flat rate again.
    1
  2216. I bought a 2023 Tacoma SR5 4X4 in Black and it has like garnet interior. I love it. Why pay the extra G’s for a Sport or Off Road when everything is the exact same mechanically other than the rear diff lock/ crawl control. 4X4 is 4X4 and you can always change the shocks to make it like the sport or off road… you come out saving money if you just buy the SR5 and just do your own upgrades. So far I’ve added the Gator hard tri fold which was like $580 and added DS18 tweeters and Kicker KS series in the front and rear doors. The shocks and tires will just get upgraded when the parts wear out. No since in dumping money on new parts that ain’t wore out yet

  2217. What junk do you suggest I buy LOL. Long time GM owner here, sick of that junk (Trans problems, rust, oil pump) thought I would try different junk.

  2218. Well in the good ole days mechanics were on a 50/50 commission. In the early 70's our labor rate was $20.00 per hour and we got 50% of that. All of our mechanics were great, or gone. [fired] I worked on cars until 1986 and we were now at 47% commision. I went into Mac Tools for 8 years. Two and one half years after I quit the dealership, my friends said that their commission was down to 28%. This was the beginning of the end for good mechanics. Now days they can't fix anything unless there is a code, and sometimes they still can't fix it. I jokingly ask them, "What is the code for a loose lug nut????" After Mac Tools, I went back to working dealerships as a Shop Forman; Now retired.

Now I own a 2021 XLT Tremor and feel I got the modern version of that truck. Sometimes want to replace the rear fender Tremor decals with the old FX4 Level II decals. Just hope my truck lives half as long as these bullet proof rangers in the video.

  2228. I have a relative who bought a brand new GMC Sierra it’s been in the shop more time than he has actually had it absolutely garbage. I have a second friend of mine who owns one and the transmission went at 80,000 km. The transmission dealers told him to get rid of it because even though they put a new transmission in rebuild, it will go 80,000 or less and have the same problem. Absolute junk way overpriced. Nobody wants them. I had a 2002 Sierra I got 500,000 km out of it. It was a great truck not the case today and way over price.
    1
  2229. so it's a ridiculous price. 8,000 dollars that's my offer

  2230. I loved toyota. I have 3 now. It's been 35 years now I have had a toyota. I went and looked at new ones, they are crap. Batteries? No. Lots of wind noise, cheap plastics,electric emergency brake? WTF? 2914 was the last good year for camry. I have a 16 and it has the vvt problem. $4200 fix. The same problem in my 14 is $1200 , but it dosent have the problem. A friend has a 19. Transmission failed at 13.000 miles. The next ine failed again at 35000 miles. He sold it. Toyota is done.

  2238. I like the design of the new ones, I just don't like, lack of engine options, engine recalls, turbo charged and to top it all off, we get to pay more. I feel like the RnD team just said F it, let's release a new untested model to make everyone beta testers. I've owned turbocharged vehicles in the past. They require more maintenance. So now we have to buy more stuff to make the car functional, every 3-5k miles. It's a truck, not a sports car. If they gave truck guys a dependable, naturally aspirated engine at a reasonable price, they wouldn't be able to keep them on the lot!

  2239. its garbage. I will keep both my 80 series until i role into a grave.

  2247. Tesla is overrated all around. Now the other Hybrid, regenerating hybrids, or Electric Vehicles with 400 mile range are much cheaper, more reliable, and overall a Better Value. I still believe a regenerating Honda Civic is the best value out there.. I still would probably lease one so that you're always getting a new one and don't have the maintenance cost. I still think that the combustion engine is not gone but we need to find a way to get away from the $30,000 totaled vehicles that need a hybrid battery or something major but the vehicle is still worth $30,000.............. People cannot afford to have a non-working vehicle that's worth that much.

  2256. Wonder when they decided not enough people don't want turbo's, then they go back to the v6 with even more expensive price tag. Think the Maverick should of been called the Ranger and vise versa.

  2257. Poor performance, cheap Chinese parts, way way overpriced. $70,000? Are they Porches?

  2258. Ford can't get out of its own way. They keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over again. They have the highest warranty costs out of any company and the endless recalls. I have always liked Ford and have owned many. The Ford cars /trucks that I have owned were all pretty good but suffered many recalls. The early Fox body Mustang I bought brand new was a lemon. It was in the shop under warranty more than out. I hope they can get someone in charge who will make quality a reality at Ford. It's an American company that I admire and the F150 is as American as you can get. I have owned 2 F150's and both were excellent vehicles with nothing but routine maintenance needed. I hope they can get their ship in order!
    1
  2259. I don't agree with the stop sale because the wiring harness doesn't wear out right away, it requires some years of salt corrosion and other environmental factors to fail. I have a 2023 waiting on a wiring harness and would just like to get it done, but there is no urgency other than to clear my HondaLink app of a recall warning. Plus, with Toyota Tacomas having massive transmission and differential problems out of the gate, it would be nice if buyers could opt for a Ridgeline if they don't need the off-road capabilities of Toyotas.

  2260. Cant believe they are still selling nitrogen gas in tires, i thought the new car rules book by the ftc specifically mentioned that as a scam
    1
  2261. It is a scam, but still legal. The tire shop I used to work at would upsell nitrogen fillups for ten bucks and that felt scummy. Dealers charging 3k is a whole nother level of scummy.
    1
  2262. You're actually dead right, and the only way that you might be wrong is that car prices might go higher. By the way, today's people don't like to name things with their actual names so what they see as a negativity is actually the simple reality.

  2270. I bought my current car 2 years ago from Carvana because I went to one lot and was pissed with the markups. I got a Cadillac XTS which had 18K miles. I currently have 31K miles. Total price was 21k. I’m very satisfied

  2271. Never at high prices.

  2272. Great conclusions but some incorrect info referring to rim size and spare tire is misleading. What is even more glaring is not mentioning the two or all wheel drive option. Also not even mentioning the Sport Touring option that actually has 19 inch wheels plus many of differences and upgrades not found in the Sport, in my opinion, was a big omission.

  2273. I’m hearing the owners of the dealerships no longer want them. Some are prepared to walk away and take their loses. Many would not blame them. Better to be happy than be poor and stressed

  2278. Lol security " cant record if you dont buy".... tacoma stat very true, my 2008 Tacoma was totaled and the insurance paid out what I paid for it 15 years later. I was very shocked how it held its value and I didnt lose, it felt like I parked my money in Bank of Tacoma, used the truck 15 years, cashed out. While shopping for a new Tacoma, these are out of reach for the average Joe, 50k plus. Insurance would go bankrupt to be paying full value in accidents. They dont seem made with good products, Tacoma went cheap, over inflated MSRP, not sure how peeps are buying these. I am out.

Could not be happier with this truck! Especially at the boat ramp! I can drop my shit in anywhere. Just pulls right out! The ramp is always packed so I made my own ramp!

  2287. If you're in the market for a mid-sized truck this is the one to get. Toyota has lost their minds with pricing and the new 4th gen's reliability is a complete disaster. Bad engines, bad transmissions, just run. Save money, get something reliable like Nissan Frontier. Pro-4X all day. This is coming from a Tacoma owner btw.

People have just gotten use to having a "truck" with a useless size boxes so they think 6.5ft is big........until you try to actually use it. 8ft box is the only way to go. That 0-60 times pretty impressive actually, for not having much hp. My 92 awd talon factory at 190hp is only 2 tenths of a second faster and its way lighter. I'd say ford spec'd the gear ratio's perfectly to be able to get that performance out of it.

  2317. The new 2025 Toyota basic no frills Hilux truck, $12k. Not being imported to USA. Car manufacturers want to sell their over complicated computerized break down prone high-tech junk for $100k. Consumers only have themselves to blame for demanding every gimmick features under the sun on their trucks/suvs. Then willingly continue paying these astronomical prices. Wait these greedy scumbags out. Prices for new vehicles is about to come crashing back down to earth. There is already a glut of 2 year old “new” inventory sitting on dealer lots. Every manufacturer is on the wrong side of history with these unaffordable vehicle offerings. Better have some basic cheap transportation offerings waiting in the wings. Like a $12k basic truck Toyota

  2322. I'm a designer, my job is product aesthetics. So, I guess I'm qualified to judge the design of the Cyber Truck with some authority. The front and sides look okay, where okay in the design world always means let's be charitable to the designers. But the rear is an utter catastrophe. No way is that aesthetic. It looks like it was Friday afternoon at Tesla and the designers wanted so much to go home early that they left the rear looking like an old cardboard box and hoped nobody will notice. Elon didn't. The way things are going, in about a year's time you'll be able to get a brand new Cyber Truck for 20 or 30 thousand. Used ones will be going for almost nothing with the owners going on their knees begging someone to just take it off their hands.

  2328. They are not selling because Nissan is sunsetting as a corporation. Honda just dumped the merger. Where is Nissan going? No future? Their products have no future. Giving no choice in models - extended cabs only, is this a large truck or mid sized? Give customers what they want. A truly big truck. A truely midsize model. And a truly small sized truck. Give them that and they'd sell.

  2330. Purchased with cash a new 22 Tacoma TRD Off Road, V6 with manual trans + extras, in August 22 for $38K out the door. Wife & I use it for camping trips in the mountains of north GA, SC, NC... we live in Florida & use it to escape during the "hottest" months. Installed premium air bags to replace the "bumps". Plan to keep this truck for a long time. No way would I ever buy the V4 with a Turbo.

  2331. Carmakers would rather build less vehicles, yet make the same profit as if they were making many more units. So they jack up prices to astronomical.

  2332. Speaking as an automotive tech many years ago, the pay is terrible, poorly treated, laws and liabilities, the government piling so much crap on so fast, to make a long story short it is the co**unist democrat party and their agenda that is destroying the automobile and the profession, I became a pipeline welder years ago and the democrats destroyed that for me also, vote right people.

  2333. Our bank accounts have a supply chain shortage that's why we aren't buying.

  2334. Meeh. I paid 48k for my 22 RAM Bighorn nicely equipped 10 k under sticker out the door but I traded in my Classic 2021 which i got 30k for so it was manageable It also had a spray in bedliner tinted windows and the Night package. Way better than the F150

  2336. Just rebuilt the engine in my 25yr old honda. In the process of completely replacing the brakes system. I will keep repairing my car rather than buy todays garbage.

  2337. Lost this buyer because of the prices. They are forgetting we don't make the kind of money the big Toyota shots make... Time to come back to reality fellas. Glad I bought my Toyota when I did. It is not a Tacoma because I don't feel like sitting on the floor of a Tacoma. Bought my first Toyota in 2010 and still have it and still love it 2010 Scion Xb 2.4 liter. It's as good as the day I bought it 14 plus years ago. Not a luxury vehicle but a damn good vehicle, i will take practical over anything else. This Scion has things they don't offer anymore. I have fantastic Audio (Alpine 240 watts) matching color side mirrors. They can't even put them in the new stuff now days... SAD. When I buy again, its going to be a LX to hell with all the extra you won't need or then have to repair, those days are over. Good Luck

  2338. These trucks will go down in history as the worst trucks toyota ever produced. I think they will go back to a v6 to get their reputation back in order.

  2341. It's been a long time since the Ridgeline actually got a true upgrade. A body line here, a visual there, new badging, new stitching on the seats (Trailsport), price upgrade guaranteed. That being said it's literally the same truck for years and years while the pilot gets all the new upgrades. Maybe you should focus more on the Ridgeline before it "dies on the vine" so to speak.

  2346. I’m happy their are Americans that can actually afford and justify this type of purchase. As for the other 99% of us it’s just a dream at this point. Shout out to all the people that ruined affordability for the rest of us 🫶

  2347. How do you find out how long a vehicle has been on the lot? I looked at a brand new 2023 GMC Sierra. Built in 10/22, still sitting, dealership won’t deal and told me he would eventually would sell it to somebody. “Lot Rot”

  2349. It took the new guy running Toyota about ten minutes to completely ruin the reputation of a company that was once the gold standard. Such a shame

  2350. Great looking Neon. I've always liked those, and this looks like a blast to drive. I had a 1995 ACR Neon. Hp was nowhere near the level of an SRT-4, but supposedly had gearing, suspension, steering, and rollover structure set up for track use. It was my daily driver for a while.

  2352. Shouldn't the dealerships be on trial for fraud the same thing the democrats are accusing Trump of? Taking a asset and way over valuating it worth?

  2353. If you are ethical and honest... (And a good mechanic) Start your own shop, it will take no time (< than a year, in my opinion) to become a known source of the coveted "My Mechanic is a great mechanic"... Because of..... Talk around whatever town you work in. Diagnosis Only Service shops are the new reality for most customers, who rightly don't trust many people that CALL themselfs' mechanics. Know what you can and cannot work on, and don't be afraid to say 'I Can't work on that, because of'... I would love it if I could count on someone who was honest enough to tell me that. So would 92% of the rest of the world. (8% are people that just want to get it solved at any cost) and I do not want them as my customers, because they are the ones you will 'always get recalls' on. Good luck and learn a 2nd trade that you also enjoy.
