Youtube comments of (@revnation_auto).

  1. As a retired military officer. Had I done something like this in font of a public audience, I would have been not so kindly asked to resign my commission.
    1000
  2.  @Johneyap  it’d be far less than paying insurance for 30 years.
    485
  3. I’m a retired Coast Guard Officer and remember when this incident happened. I’m glad you’re still with us. I was hit by a semi-truck going about 55mph during operation New Dawn. Broke my neck, leg, hip, crushed my face in. Tons of surgeries later, I’m doing ok physically. I’m on literally every medication you’ve listed. It’s shitty. I hope to be free of them one day. Thanks for sharing your story.
    343
  4. Yep, shouldn’t have ordered one in the first place. Failure all around.
    277
  5. Its pretty bad
    163
  6. No flat load floor No dual zone climate Less rear seat room No power liftgate unless it’s $57k or more Fuel efficiency is meh Materials are cheap af Ride quality was worse than you described Rear sliding glass is about all that’s going for it. $60k or more, yeah no thanks
    136
  7. About sums it up
    102
  8. I appreciate the shout out Brandon. I’ll have a lot more Tesla & EV content coming!
    77
  9. Yep, it’s not worth it in 90% of cases.
    67
  10. I feel they should have never ordered it in the first place.
    57
  11. It’ll be like $55k out the door
    57
  12. There’s some there that have been on the lot for 2 years
    56
  13. My 2004 Ranger will too
    56
  14. Yep, Chevy Cruze was a cash cow. Same with the Focus and Fiesta. Hell, the Neon absolutely crushed it sales wise. They wanted a higher profit from point of purchase.
    55
  15. The best way to keep this crap from happening is pay hourly plus performance based bonuses. A huge part of that performance is customer satisfaction. Not letting customers take advantage of you, but being straight up with them. Letting them know pricing up front. Having service managers who know what they are talking about, hiring a warranty claims specialist if you’re a dealership. Labor rate is $95/hr, overhead is $28/hr, $25/hr to owner, $42/hr to tech. You pay hourly $32/hr and $10/hr bonus for performance. Owner can dip into their pockets for those who go above and beyond in an honest way.
    49
  16. True words my friend. Love my 04 Ranger
    48
  17. People love those things now ha
    47
  18. Smart plan. Those “specials” are always a scam.
    47
  19. Yep, wait for the new one, it’ll cross $90k I’m sure
    44
  20. I bought the 2024 Camaro 1SS 6MT for $43,500 out the door. Some Camrys cost more than that. It’s an incredible car, and a better daily driver than I would have imagined. Hope you can find one Jack.
    42
  21. You’re leaps ahead of the debt junkies mate. I drive a 2004 Ford Ranger and laugh when I see $100k cars going by.
    41
  22. Yep, it’s pretty silly
    37
  23. Try like $120k by the time the gov & bank’s done with you.
    35
  24. Yep, ridiculous
    34
  25. Yeah most Ford dealerships aren’t great
    34
  26. Same here, it’s disgusting!!
    32
  27. Don’t buy hail damage cars if you can avoid it. Insurance companies will have a field day with you over time and the resale will be bad.
    32
  28. It’ll probably happen
    31
  29. The opposite may happen. Buyers could revolt and jack up the prices on this generation.
    29
  30. Yep, it’s been like that forever
    29
  31. It’s why I love my 04 Ranger with a am/fm radio and a manual transmission. Crank windows and vinyl floors.
    28
  32. That guy sucked terribly.
    27
  33. Hahah yep
    26
  34.  @lawdog516  I was there for a while, not a soul anywhere.
    25
  35. I concur my friend
    25
  36. Same here my friend!
    23
  37. They often let lube techs take work they aren’t qualified for to scam more money and pay them jack squat.
    23
  38. Clean CARFAX supposedly and “detailed history” but you’re probably right.
    23
  39. Yeah the prices are pretty crappy. They have been for a long time. I remember shopping 2015’s and it was as like $35k for a basic GT manual. Same one now is like $42-$43k. You can get a lot of money off of them now.
    23
  40. Yeah it’s pretty ugly
    22
  41. I support capitalism and hard work. Handouts and unfair advantages are neither of those.
    22
  42. They want to work less for more profit
    21
  43. See how this compares to the cost of a Toyota Tacoma The Toyota Tacoma’s Real Cost Is Straight-Up Brutal https://youtu.be/ZxwsU-FHpvM
    20
  44. OEM’s want huge profits, those two don’t jive unfortunately.
    19
  45. Tool debt is a huge problem amongst techs. Those vendors are just like dope dealers.
    19
  46. Great truck!
    19
  47. A lot of people feel that way
    19
  48. Hahaha that’d probably help sell them ha
    19
  49. Smart move lol
    19
  50. Bought a 04 Ranger for $2,500 a couple years ago and still driving it as my daily. That truck pays me 🤣
    18
  51. Yep, amazing 5 foot bed. My 04 Ranger is more usable as a truck. $2,500 and I get 25mpg.
    17
  52. Classic Toyota in Hampton Va
    17
  53. I just went under contract yesterday. Made a video about it. Got a smokin “deal” haha we’ll see how much of deal it ends up being. Fully agree with you on counting sales as contracts signed, that means nothing until it’s closed.
    16
  54. Smart child!
    16
  55. Sound like a smart couple. Good job mate! 04 Ranger is my daily driver, better than 95% of the vehicles made today.
    14
  56. You have an actual reason to own a full-size truck. Vast majority of folks don’t. Zero issues with real truck use.
    14
  57. I’d take a Wrangler at that price and rent it to Tourists on Turo.
    14
  58. My wife doesn’t like Army Green at all, I don’t get it. I think it’s a great color.
    14
  59. I’ve been seeing that crap too. Carvana is even doing it.
    14
  60.  @BillLaBrie  let’s hope not but I could definitely see that being part of the reason.
    14
  61. Best wheel and tire combo out there for the Tundra. Tough skins decals looking rad AF too man, great job!!
    14
  62. It’s great to have more hybrid luxury options! Great review!
    13
  63. Yes sir, it’s truly horrifying what our children and grandchildren will be inheriting. I’m trying to do my part by not going down on my knees. I’ll keep calling out & standing up to these bullies until I’m in the ground.
    13
  64.  @JCT442  it’s a pretty solid engine. Buick has been using this for many years and they are near the top of reliability lists. Yes, I was surprised too ha
    13
  65. Exactly, people crap on the Nissan Titan and they didn’t buy it. Was the only new truck not doing none sense like that.
    13
  66. They will, these fools are letting everything rot before giving a deal.
    13
  67. Smart moves my friend.
    13
  68. My brother-in law owns a repo company and he sold it because he couldn't keep up with the demand. The number of repos is staggering. Great video mate!
    12
  69. Yep in 90% of cases. A lot of people love working on cars and want to follow their passions. Just need to be clear-eyed on what they’re getting into.
    12
  70. You’re not wrong
    12
  71. Yep, the American way my friend .
    12
  72. Several are offering 0.9% 72months. Vast majority don’t have price cuts yet.
    12
  73. Hahah yep
    12
  74. Pretty much
    11
  75. Greed and incompetence in full swing.
    11
  76. It’s nonsense
    11
  77. Right, but there’s a problem. A truly reliable used car will cost you a lot of money and it’s easier to qualify for a new car loan than a used one.
    11
  78.  @Fabulousprofound168  haha I wish. Would love to run off with that Giulia.
    10
  79. Yep, I can get a GMC Sierra, Silverado, Ram and every midsize truck for less than this crappy trailsport. Well, except the new Tacoma which is an even bigger ripoff.
    10
  80. It’s an amazing car mate! Maintenance on any performance car is spendy, have to pay to play… Worth it!
    9
  81. I fully agree. They should also bring back the Xterra. Change the name of the Armada to the Patrol and ride the off-road train to the bank.
    9
  82. Ha yeah that’s the GR Corolla legal response when this happens.
    9
  83. Yeah that’s what I paid for my old TRD OR as well. Ridiculous prices now
    9
  84. Many people agree with you
    9
  85. I hear ya, even I am having trouble justifying the costs for these cars these days.
    9
  86. Those prices are on the low side. Most XLT’s are $46k.
    9
  87. Yeah man, Jeep is screwing themselves with their pricing. I get a lot a shit for talking about the same stuff but people need to realize what’s going on.
    9
  88. That’s a smart business decision 🙄
    9
  89. They’ll rent it to you for weekly payments here soon
    9
  90. Yeah it’s lame af
    9
  91. Happens quite a bit. I once forgot to put a guy’s center cap back on his wheel. I felt terrible about it and the guy actually bought me a beer because I clearly gave a crap unlike many others.
    9
  92. I made a video about this. I got a really bad head injury and facial damage that caused my slowed speech. I’m working on it but it’s an uphill battle for sure. Thanks for watching.
    9
  93. We shall see
    9
  94. As a VA loaner user, it’s ungodly expensive to refinance, so the purchase price is extremely important. I’m also very sick of the old “it’s never a bad time to buy” garbage advice. Thank you for not pumping that out there. I bought a condo at the end of 2007, still stuck with it. I’ll never make any money on it so I’ll rent it out forever, not by choice. There’s a 1,000% bad times to buy and now is definitely one of them.
    9
  95. They definitely think he’s going to print money and act like it’s the greatest economy to ever exist.
    9
  96. Ford performs recalls for any tiny issue. Asian brands will wait until many have been hurt or worse to do anything about it unfortunately.
    8
  97. It’s noticeable but not anything that’ll rip you off the road. I owned a bunch of turbo front wheel drive cars and it’s the most planted out of the factory.
    8
  98. I’ve been in this industry for 25 years. The level of scummy tactics that’s become the norm since 2020 is disgusting.
    8
  99. Yeah it’s a terrible value.
    8
  100. Yeah it’s garbage out there.
    8
  101. Wow, that’s pathetic
    8
  102. They do need the long bed for sure
    8
  103. I’d just get a TRD Off-Road. You’re going to want to do a bunch of mods to it anyway. You could one new for $38k and standard equipment is far better than it used to be.
    8
  104. Agreed, a price adjustment would definitely help sales.
    8
  105. I owned a Know 2021 Tacoma Trd off-road, and it was a great truck. The powertrain, ride quality, And cabin, refinement are better in the frontier.
    8
  106. Great truck, I own a 2022 SR5 4x4.
    8
  107. **Please read this**I have been buying and selling new or slightly used cars for over 25 years as a side business. I did this in addition to serving on active duty for almost 22yrs. My day job is as a Senior Engineer Subject Matter Expert Level V (highest). I deal with the same supply chains as automotive OEM’s. I approve design prototypes and bring them into full-rate production. I have a better understanding of how large scale manufacturing operates than most. I also speak with GM’s, salespeople, down to lube techs and car detailers on a weekly basis. I deliver the truth on the ground and from the perspective of the top and the bottom. GM’s always laugh at this nonsense and tell me it happens daily. Someone will come in there and offer $30k for a $65k truck and say “while I watched this or I read this, and they said I could get 50-75% off and blah blah”. Go into the comments of these videos and you’ll see people say they went and made offers and showed them this video and guess what?? They were wrong and that person wasted their time and the dealers. Are there deals to be had on inventory that’s been sitting? Of course, there always has been and always will be. BUT you must be realistic with your expectations. I love seeing people save tons of money on vehicles. I hate seeing people mislead and having their hopes crushed by reality.
    8
  108. Like what? Assuming people change their oil, do required maintenance, insurance companies raising rates. You do realize the average inflation rate during the past 5 years is 3.7%, 2.6% the 5 years before that. Loan terms are on the low end rates wise. I quoted tires from 4 national chains and took the cheaper ones. Same thing with all the maintenance. Trust me, this is a very very conservative cost breakdown. Thank you for watching and try some other of my videos.
    8
  109. exactly, f em
    8
  110. Great pickup!!
    7
  111. Yep, garbage
    7
  112. Saving $60k and driving a great pickup. Win win for me!!
    7
  113. Kia and Hyundai have increased in price to an insane degree but their reputation hasn’t improved. Resale will not be kind to this car.
    7
  114. Also, cash isn’t the best strategy, tell them you’ll take their preferred lender. Then at towards the end, switch to cash or just pay the loan off right away.
    7
  115. lol, I crap on Toyota more than any other channel dang near. Watch my other videos. The price on this one is garbage as usual but this is way better than the new Tacoma TRD Off-road for the same price.
    7
  116. Yep, it’s embarrassing to witness the Buffoonery there.
    7
  117. I think the Frontier is a solid truck, some trims have gotten insanely expensive though.
    7
  118. I’m sure she does. Glad to hear, need more young women driving manuals.
    7
  119. Yep, gross
    7
  120.  @PrepperDawg  yep it’s insane
    7
  121. This truck has become just another one of the herd. It will have loads of issues for a couple years just like the rest. Frontier is the safest bet at this point.
    7
  122. Yep, technically a ZR2 can be as low as $48k if you get no options. Awesome truck too, this one is worth $30k going for $50k.
    7
  123. Cue Honda’s PR team and lawyers 🙄 I won’t be taking anything down. I own this vehicle and everyone else who owns them needs to know what’s happening. Potential buyers as well.
    7
  124. My daily driver is a 2004 Ford Ranger reg cab 5MT 167k mi. Paid $2,500 for it a couple years ago, it’s been great!
    7
  125. TRD pro, yes. TRD off-road is what I said. I’ve owned 3 of them and 2 frontiers and they are on par. I had more problems with my 2016 Tacoma than any modern vehicle I’ve owned. Never had one issues with my frontiers or Xterra.
    7
  126. Yeah that's crap. They are greedy.
    7
  127. I bet, who’s going to want to hold a falling knife.
    7
  128. More like $2,000 imo. You’ll need to pull the interior out completely from mold and mice damage. All wiring is toast, tons of rust etc..
    7
  129. Those V6’s in both the Mustang and Camaro got the job done well. Both very under appreciated. Scatpack is rad but thirsty. Thanks for watching!
    7
  130. Yep, that’s why I quit doing it. Surrounded by dirtbags, greedy owners, angry customers. Fun fun
    7
  131. This dealership removed their markups a while back and it’s still not selling.
    7
  132.  @billymule961  It appears so ha
    7
  133. That’s awful, I always the love the greedy jerks who mask their behavior with “Christian values”. I’m really sorry that you’re having to go through all of that. I hope you recover soon.
    7
  134. Yep, it’s beyond ridiculous.
    7
  135. I live in NC and I can say what has happened here is horrifying. I’ve worked for the department of homeland security since its inception. I can say FEMA is a joke, and always has been. US Coast Guard crushes it and always have. I hope she takes our example.
    7
  136. Yep, it’s silly to drop that kind of money
    6
  137. I’d get the XL hybrid with co-Pilot 360. I’d then get a set of Bronco sport white steelies and swap out the emblems. I have heated seat covers from amazon for $55 and a wireless CarPlay adapter for $30.
    6
  138. They have indeed
    6
  139. Just use the ECT pwr button when you need a bit more get up and hold revs longer. KDMax tune is very popular.
    6
  140. That’s a good set up
    6
  141. They’ve got some good stuff in the back room that everyone is clearly roasting haha
    6
  142. Yeah they’re not great
    6
  143. You can still buy a house for that in certain places.
    6
  144. The prices are beyond gross.
    6
  145. Think about the mice and elements over time. Those things will have nothing but problems. Could have been sold long ago if they weren’t such crooks.
    6
  146. Those are two killer vehicles my friend! I bought my 2024 Camaro SS new for $4k under msrp because it was the last V8 naturally aspirated engine with a manual transmission to be produced in the USA. It’s a special car but I have considered getting a C6 corvette 6mt for like $20k. We shall see…
    6
  147. Yep, it’s gross
    6
  148. Yes, I hate that other YT channels are lying to people about that stuff. Then they go waste a bunch of their time. Watch more of my videos and you’ll see what is really happening.
    6
  149. Cost per unit is all they’re looking at. Not back end profits. Every brand is selling their cheap models like hotcakes but initial profits are low on those models. Greed, and short-sightedness and the drivers.
    6
  150. No people just don’t care about anything anymore, man
    6
  151. I hear you on Stellantis not making good decisions. Chrysler, Jeep, & Dodge have always done these partnerships where they bring way more to the table but sell themselves short.
    6
  152. They’re crap for sure
    6
  153. I live in a major tourist area where they rent these out to drive on the beach. $250-$400 a day. That’s the only reason I’m considering it.
    6
  154.  @PrepperDawg  yes the whole thing is gross
    6
  155. Hopefully they will hear soon. Dealers need to thank their lucky stars for each sale.
    6
  156. Exactly!
    6
  157. I hope it hits Virginia one day. I’m not holding my breath, every non pile of crap is at all time highs and getting multiple offers.
    6
  158. Sounds about right
    6
  159. It’s a lot of weight to carry around for that level displacement. Forced induction has come a long way but it can’t beat physics over time. Same thing with GM putting a 2.7L in a Silverado. It’s ok for a good while but the strain will catch up.
    6
  160. What’s the main reason you all bought your vehicle?
    6
  161. I’m a satellite communications engineer and retired military officer. I can afford to buy every trim of each truck at the same time. I’m making these videos to inform the public on what will happen once they try to buy a vehicle. Also, going onto automotive lot during business hours is not trespassing.
    6
  162. I had a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X and a lot of my club friends did the Titan swap, it's a lot of work but pretty sweet.
    6
  163. Yeah they suck
    6
  164. Haha glad it worked out
    6
  165. That’s awesome man. If I were getting a full-size truck, the Titan would be it
    5
  166. Could be
    5
  167. Not a con man bud. Just relaying what’s really happening on the market. Consumer reports often develops bias towards and away from certain vehicles. They love the GTI but hate the Jetta. The buying public seems to agree and disagree with them.
    5
  168. That’s total crap. Hyundai dealerships don’t do that brand any favors. Just go lease a Tesla for $300 a month man. No dealerships, it’s a fair price.
    5
  169. Hahaha, I thought so too but then had to declare a lemon law on my Tacoma. Toyota didn’t honor warranties and it was a disaster.
    5
  170. Yeah man, it’s becoming a regular occurrence😑
    5
  171. They do have solid paint but $995 up charge, come on… also $3,700 for 4x4. That’s $4,700 for decent paint and 4 wheel drive. They already start $3k higher than the Colorado & Frontier. The math doesn’t work for what you’re getting.
    5
  172. My 04 Rangers gets almost 30mpg hwy.
    5
  173. That’s a good point
    5
  174. Yeah it’s ridiculous, that is what Canada has always done since they’re not allowed to markup the price. We get both in the USA 🙄
    5
  175. I’ve got a video coming up all about it my friend. It’s criminal and truly sad. I’m a Honda owner as well😑
    5
  176. Yep, I think so too
    5
  177. They are the #3 manufacturer sales wise on earth. Tons of people apparently.
    5
  178. I got rid of my 21 Corolla. Tin can special.
    5
  179. Yes it is crappy of them to do this nonsense but it’ll now happen all over. Dealers have been given free rein to behave without consequence. This never results in anything good. I’ll keep calling their scummy BS out even if I have to do it one by one.
    5
  180. One of my videos showed a $55k Camry. I knew it was over at that point.
    5
  181.  @PrepperDawg  I was able to negotiate $11k off of one for a subscriber.
    5
  182.  @AJ-HawksToxicFinger  probably my favorite truck overall. Nissan dealers want to hold out for the “you’ll miss me when I’m gone effect”. Probably a smart move, most new trucks are garbage.
    5
  183. I would, there’s still nothing else that matches the performance for the money.
    5
  184. Awesome truck
    5
  185. Arrogance that blew up in their face
    5
  186. Jeez that’s crappy. Hope they figured out the heat issue
    5
  187. That doesn’t seem to work the way it used to. People need cars, clothes, houses, food, and insurance. All of these have only inflated more and more. Yes insurance is bs but you’re forced to have it.
    5
  188. It’s because they’ve got some backing to where they don’t care
    5
  189. I had a press one for a couple of weeks. It was actually good off-road but the transmission was already f’d. $46k too.
    5
  190. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    5
  191. The grabby brakes are why I sold my Ford Maverick Hybrid.
    5
  192. Yep, Nissan Frontier is getting a ton of their customers as well.
    5
  193. It’s going to be a sales turd. Your dealers have woke up to that fact already.
    5
  194. These are major issues that have massive safety implications. No one is talking about it because of PR firms and advertising losses. Automotive ads are the highest paying on all social media platforms. Think about it…
    5
  195. I’m 100% not misleading the public on prices. MSRP and building prices on the companies own website is what you have to use. That is where they all start. Just because “some” dealers are discounting $10,000 off on Ram’s doesn’t mean much in the big picture. The dealers I go to often are still doing markups. Raising your MSRP’s 60% in 3.5 years and then discounting it 7% doesn’t mean jack squat to buyers. I do plenty of research and then physically go to where people are buying the vehicles. The feel good stories their PR teams push out are not what customers are going to experience. I’m showing the real picture, a lot of people can’t handle the truth as Colonel Nathan Jessep said. Thanks for watching mate.
    5
  196. I grew up in Minnesota and fully agree with you. They don’t stand a chance to the elements.
    5
  197. I’ve got both and the 6ft bed makes a world of difference. Get yourself an old Ranger like mine. Single cab 6ft bed, 4 banged with a 5spd.
    5
  198. Absolutely mate!
    5
  199. Yep totally out of control. Now they get to sit on endless inventory.
    5
  200. Yep, bunch of other channel will tell you you’re getting huge discounts. You’re not.
    5
  201. You’re a legit truck owner my friend. Vast majority of folks have no real use for one. I have a 04 ford ranger 6ft bed. I used it 2-3 times a week hauling recycling and moving furniture. Tools for jobs. Mazda6 gets 38mpg hwy, daughter drives the snot out of it. 9 years 170k miles, still runs perfectly.
    5
  202.  @josephduncan4356  there are plenty of aftermarket solutions for this stuff that would cost a lot less and help create jobs.
    5
  203. Go look at one in person when you can, you’ll see what I’m talking about. It’s a purple blue mix.
    5
  204. I got snuffed on my TRD Pro by the factory canceling the allocations. Looked at a 21 Army green TRD-OR with the tech package, nearly $42k. I completely agree with you, why not spend 7k more and have a far superior version??
    5
  205. MDX is a smoother ride but the CX-90 does feel like a higher quality vehicle. Acura's fuel economy is terrible in all their SUV's. Our 2021 RDX FWD got 20mpg combined which is garbage for a compact SUV. I'd take the CX-90 of the 2.
    5
  206. He probably realized he bought a dud and changed his mind.
    5
  207. I have a 2004 Ranger 5MT getting great fuel efficiency. Over 6ft bed, use it 3-4 times a week. Probably best pickup ever produced. Better than the Tacoma of the same era.
    5
  208.  @ronkemperful  I get it but I just can’t help but think that 10 years ago, a backup camera was an option. I own 3 vehicles without them, I don’t go around hitting people. I feel like a standard recall would have been sufficient.
    5
  209. For sure man! Frontier is the safest bet. I’m following those issues but they are there with all new models unfortunately. I’m a systems engineer and you basically get one shot during prototyping to get it right. There’s endless unknowns when you place projects into full-production. I’ll make a video explaining all of this stuff.
    5
  210. Not too sure man, sales show the trends. I love coupes and muscle cars but I’m a car person. Most people aren’t.
    5
  211. Thanks for your service my friend. Hope you stay safe and keep achieving whatever success & happiness looks like to you. I’m a disabled vet myself did 21 yrs and 9+ yrs deployed for GWOT. There’s a lot of folks who don’t get it at all mate. Thanks again.
    5
  212. That’s great, but it’s a far cry from 60%. Like I said, are there deals to had, of course. We all just need to be realistic though.
    5
  213. $5,000 is a major dealbreaker for many families. Corolla hybrid is a great car but it’s out in of reach for millions of people. Nissan approves financing much easier than Toyota, and offers an opportunity of new car ownership to those who would never be able to do that. This runs a lot deeper than just what’s on the surface.
    5
  214. I’ve strongly considered buying one of these. I did a SV review and that was a great truck.
    5
  215. I’ve already found Pro4x used for like $36k. Frontier doesn’t hold its value very well.
    5
  216. They are over as a brand and they know it.
    5
  217. Yeah they are terrible
    5
  218. Yes it does!! I’m with you!
    4
  219. Sounds about right
    4
  220. The corporate way my friend!
    4
  221. That’s for dang sure!
    4
  222. I have a 2024 1SS 6MT. 10k miles and 22.9mpg. It’s an incredible car.
    4
  223. Mazda 3 is my favorite but you’ll pay a couple thousand more for it in most cases. Worth it to me, but most buyers don’t think that way. Payment and initial cost often beats everything else out.
    4
  224. 77k sold in 2022, 46k sold in 2023 that’s an insane drop
    4
  225. They don’t care at all. I’ve sent them things in the past. Give zero f’s
    4
  226.  @JCT442  yep, that’s for fleets and 99% of those are white. It’s for advertising your business and it’s the cheapest color for manufacturing.
    4
  227. Pro-4x. The new Tacoma has some major bugs to work out. 2023 Tacoma was solid, I still prefer the powertrain, ride quality, and seats in the Frontier.
    4
  228. It’s something that gained too much popularity in the automotive industry. Many don’t want to spend the money to reverse it all.
    4
  229. 💯 fo sho
    4
  230. I did sound deadening in my Ranger and it worked wonders. Haven’t done the engine bay though, just the doors and roof.
    4
  231. I had a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x lifted on 35’s. I would destroy jeeps on their trails all day. Got like 10mpg though hah
    4
  232. I prefer the Navigator but those are pretty sweet.
    4
  233. I’m not a fan of them either. Toyota won’t walk it back though.
    4
  234. There will always be incentives, rebates, low financing offers on existing inventory that’s not moving well. 50-60% off a new vehicle is unfortunately a complete pipe dream. I hate that people are being sold that bill of goods. I have a wealth of experience in all angles of this industry. I wish I had a magic wand and get everyone deals like that, but it’s just simply not going to happen.
    4
  235. I know the S king cab can get up to 1,600lbs. Pro-4x payload isn’t great. Ranger is one of the better options for payload.
    4
  236. I know many who have. It’s a massive gamble but if you’re good and behave well, you’ll succeed.
    4
  237. I hardly ever see 2024 Pacificas on lots. 2023 must be different models you’re talking about.
    4
  238. Travis, you’re skilled enough to find a good deal for you and your family. I’d just pull the trigger and ride it out.
    4
  239. I completely agree! It’s here and only going to get worse.
    4
  240. In what ways?
    4
  241.  @Outsider.Reviews  music in my intro. They were 1000% wrong that it was copyrighted. I literally got it from Apple copyright free music. Huge fight, they sunk my channel and wouldn’t show it. Then halfway admitted they screwed. The damage was done.
    4
  242.  @Miguel.Rosado7224  my favorite it probably the Pro.
    4
  243.  @vrich5145  that’s a sweet setup!
    4
  244. 50% margins on each person who falls for it.
    4
  245. Little miss sensitive pants, stating that a disproportionate amount of USA elected officials have Israeli citizenship is NOT antisemitism, it is stating a fact. I used to live in Shaker Heights, OH and at least half of my neighbors were dual Israeli citizens. Their kids would serve in the IDF. It was celebrated. Imagine if that was the case where I used to live in Minnesota that’s predominately Somalian?
    4
  246. I’m happy you’re having a great experience with your new truck. I owned a 2009 Ram 1500 Laramie and loved it, minus the fuel economy. Please update us 6-12 months from now on how your ownership experience has been. Thanks for watching mate!!
    4
  247.  @edf10000  I’ve heard that there are some bugs
    4
  248. Exactly!
    4
  249. Profits per unit would be less overall and I doubt it would increase sales.
    4
  250. Yeah that was a big miss
    4
  251. I got one offer for $14k over today. It’s pathetic, definitely not buying that
    4
  252. I think it should be about $50k tbh
    4
  253. Yep, they’re destroying one of the most iconic brands of all time.
    4
  254. Glad you like it! It’s not going to work for us unfortunately.
    4
  255. No real estate market crash in Virginia. I wish but it’s only gone up.
    4
  256. I agree
    4
  257. Yep that’s what I’m suspecting. A lot of wanna be rich people with also get these financed at 96 months too
    4
  258. Hahah yeah it’s pretty wack
    4
  259. Boring styling compared to the previous FK8 model. Overheating issues on track, markups.
    4
  260. That’s pretty lame
    4
  261. It’s a great truck
    4
  262. I talked to a Toyota GM today and they are think TRD Pro with be mid 60’s. Trail hunter like 70+
    4
  263. New Tacoma is a major disappointment!
    4
  264. That’s not always the case mate. I had to declare a lemon law on my Tacoma. Had loads of issues with our 2011 Camry.
    4
  265. Definitely
    4
  266. I have access to the DMV data but you can find that on CarEdge, not too sure if you have to pay for a membership or not. They’ve great folks either way! The Titan is my favorite full-size truck, it’s also the most reliable. Nissan did a terrible job advertising it and incentivizing it. Similar to what happened to the Camaro. I hope they don’t bring it back as some crappy EV for $90k.
    4
  267. The old land cruiser base model was $81,000. Considering the capability is the same if not better and it gets 10mpg higher, not surprised by the price.
    4
  268. It’s the best of both worlds for those who only have 1 vehicle. Can haul the family around and do real work with the bed. Extra foot makes a huge difference as you already know.
    4
  269. It’s funny money after the last 5 years. Just print it, no one will notice ha
    4
  270. Yep, let’s keep calling them out.
    4
  271. I didn’t pay sales tax because of my state of residence not requiring it for military members.
    4
  272. Yep, it’s garbage
    4
  273. I hate those long drawn out videos too!
    4
  274. Yep, I paid $38k for my 2021 TRD Off-road delivered to my house.
    4
  275. They are building houses because people buy them.
    4
  276. Cash grab, why not right?
    4
  277. Wow, that’s criminal and not surprising at all. Sorry you had to go through that my friend.
    4
  278. Not a big fan of the Raptor, I’d pick the 4Runner all day!
    4
  279. I actually have a deal on one for a friend, $1,500 under msrp and it’s still $60k out the door. In 2019, you could get them for $40k, awesome times we’re in🙄
    4
  280. There’s some rough seas ahead for sure. We’ll get through it!
    4
  281. Yep
    4
  282. Good to know thanks
    4
  283. Extended bed Frontiers are awesome. Glad you got the pickup you wanted!
    4
  284. I spent 22 years in the military and our lots would be full them. I’d ask the folks that worked for me “are you moonlighting as a farmer?” Ha yeah, no, they just drove an F350 for zero reason.
    4
  285. Your area in particular has been made poorer and poorer for generations. The government wants you this way. I grew up in a Native American community where unemployment was 86% on average. People don’t get it until they lived it.
    4
  286. Call Hall Honda in Elizabeth City NC. They are doing msrp on it.
    4
  287. You bet
    4
  288. Mazda is solid.
    4
  289. Yep, hope so!
    4
  290. It’s fairly annoying once you’ve lived without keys. I don’t mind it in my $2,500 Ranger but i wouldn’t want one in my 24 Camaro
    4
  291.  @JCT442  oh they are still doing that constantly
    4
  292. https://www.grcorollaforum.com/threads/list-of-msrp-only-dealerships.168/
    4
  293. Happy you’re loving it, I would be too.
    4
  294. Hahah yeah, it’s bad
    4
  295. That’s the XL work truck spec too mate. Used to be $26,000 even in Hawaii. I used to buy loads of them.
    4
  296. Go and try to actually buy one and see what the numbers are. Dealers advertise all sorts of lovely things.
    4
  297. Probably not for long. Greed always wins with anything in demand.
    4
  298. It’s garbage
    4
  299.  @mpiny  haha everyone is entitled to their opinion. Go take it for a drive mate!
    4
  300. Thanks man, that’s been the best part for me. Great pickup and beyond lucky to be making memories with it. Thanks for watching, subscribe if you haven’t already.
    4
  301. You’ll be able to get some slightly used SV trims for that. Great setup imo
    4
  302. I had a 1993 and it was a great truck but these newer ones are what buyers have been brainwashed to like. It’s all about the cash cow pumping forever.
    4
  303. Social engineering, I speak to this in many of my videos
    4
  304. Whoever makes a mid or full-size hybrid truck getting 35mpg or better will own the entire market. After $11/gal fuel, the mindset of the entire country shifted. I’ve told this to the press reps from nearly every OEM.
    4
  305. They aren’t accounting for what it’s taking to move some of these homes. A lot of backdoor deals.
    4
  306. Yeah it was roughly around 75 on average. I was also expecting better but still far more efficient than any other pickup. Glad you’re enjoying your truck. Thanks for watching
    4
  307. I got 21mpg in the city in my 2021 Corolla. 39hwy which was great but I lived in the city ha. Traded it for a Ford Maverick Hybrid. Big improvement.
    4
  308. Great video bud. I’m certain you’ll have a great dealership up and running before no time.
    4
  309. Of course, simple design and a great truck.
    4
  310. I just drove the M340i. It’s slow and not very fun at all. Its suspension can’t handle its weight properly. Cornering was a joke. The interior wasn’t very premium. I’d go with a standard 540i.
    4
  311. Great trucks for sure
    4
  312. It’ll fall apart, I’m sure mice have had fun with those electronics over the years.
    4
  313. You can always negotiate a discount my friend. Being present at the dealership is your biggest tool. Say no to the add on crap like nitrogen in the tires, door edge guard, or other nonsense. Go there and tell them you love the truck but can only afford to pay x amount OUT THE DOOR. Offer to use in-house lending as well.
    4
  314. It’s a circus
    4
  315. That’s my favorite car I never bought😁 Love the drive, and styling but the trade offs were a bit too much for me. I would consider getting one at the bottom of that depreciation curve.
    4
  316. Yep
    4
  317. They will have less and less moving forward
    4
  318. Yeah they could have done some tweaks to make it more efficient for sure! Thanks for watching!
    4
  319. They have gone downhill
    4
  320. As they should be
    4
  321. Yes, since 2019 there have been very few reports of transmission issues. They also made their engines port and direct injection to avoid carbon build up like Honda, Ford, Kia, and Toyota suffer from.
    4
  322. Definitely
    4
  323. Agreed
    4
  324. Pit multiple dealers against one another. You’ll get the price down in this market. Nissan likes to hide their inventory for optics purposes. They aren’t doing well sales wise. Revnationauto@gmail.com I’ll help you if you need it. I don’t charge anything.
    4
  325.  @jimmywalters3071  I think it’s overblown as well.
    3
  326. I’m going to make a video about this soon
    3
  327. Oh wow, I used to use mine in my Tacoma daily. Maybe I’m weird 🤣
    3
  328. That’s a fair price
    3
  329. Yeah it’s a great truck
    3
  330. I’d just get a used one with a manual. Or a used Ranger. I drive a 2004 Ranger 5MT as my daily driver. 166k on it and going strong. I get 25mpg combined as well.
    3
  331. Many countries are letting them in. They honestly wouldn’t be very competitive in the USA. It would be so expensive to bring them here that they’d have to charge similar prices to the other manufacturers.
    3
  332. Yeah I really like it. Have the Colorado coming up soon. It’ll be a nice comparison.
    3
  333. Yep, like I’ve said in many other videos. The reality and what other YouTubers are saying doesn’t line up. Clickbait 50% off of Msrp sends people into dealers totally misinformed. Really frustrating.
    3
  334. First off, how is this my fault? Had a 30 second conversation with a guy who said he’d have the car ready to go. He did, I was intercepted by the guy who ended up losing it. I repeatedly told him the other guy had it setup. As I’m seated in this dudes office, that’s when he goes fully psychotic.
    3
  335. Yep
    3
  336. That is a miss
    3
  337. I got really lucky and they let me drive it. Wasn't planned at all.
    3
  338. I fully agree. Not too sure what they are thinking
    3
  339. Same here man
    3
  340. revnationauto@gmail.com I can help you find one if you're serious about buying. I don't charge anything.
    3
  341. I have a YouTube short coming out for that soon.
    3
  342. Let me know how it goes
    3
  343. You’ll enjoy it!
    3
  344. Haha, tried that already. It’s still a massive piece of shit audio system.
    3
  345. I’ve seen Camrys that are up to $45k. It’s gross
    3
  346. It’s your money my friend, spend it how you like.
    3
  347. I used to live in Bahrain. I went to Muscat for 1 day only, would love to go back.
    3
  348. Ranger Tremor is insanely capable and can do 95% of what the Raptor will be able to. The only reason I’d get a raptor to teach people about it on my channel but other than that, I’d prefer the Tremor. New Ranger won’t introduce the Tremor until 25 but it’s going to be awesome. That said, you’ve got a great truck with the 23. You may actually see a bump in price when the new one comes out.
    3
  349. A lot of like to rail against new stuff and are willing to pay more for the previous generation. A lot more common now, used to be the exact opposite. Either way, you’re in a good spot. I’d like to get a 23 Tremor but I love my 2004 Ranger too much to part with it.
    3
  350. Unfortunately the case for sure
    3
  351. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    3
  352. Yep, they bought into the tech “advancements” and you see the end result. My 2024 Camaro has a push-rod V8 that’s the same as the 1960’s. No issues, imagine that. I also get 23mpg, so they can’t argue efficiency either.
    3
  353. You’re probably right my friend
    3
  354. You don’t like your Lightning? I’ve always thought they were cool.
    3
  355. We traded our 2022 4Runner for a 2023 Honda CR-V hybrid. We are averaging 37.8mpg overall. I do miss the road presence and the cargo area in the 4Runner but not 16-17mpg. It’s just not worth it unless you drive like 4,000 miles a year. Or if you’re living in it haha
    3
  356. That’s a shockingly rare incident then. All documentation showed that 5.6L to be very reliable.
    3
  357. Most Ridgeline owners really like them.
    3
  358. The Ranger has outgrown the small truck category at this point. It’s much too large and expensive to compare to what it used to be. That’s where the Maverick comes in. They got rid of their cars and added more trucks basically.
    3
  359. Yep, it’s a great setup.
    3
  360. I’ll go elsewhere for the Alfa if I decide to go that route. It’s not really a replacement for the Camaro. It’s an amazing car but just can’t hang with the old school push rod 6.2L with a manual. I’ve considered buying a C6 as well. Car disease in full swing.
    3
  361. That’s a lot better than many have reported. Fuel economy has a lot of variables that makes it nearly impossible to measure accurately.
    3
  362. They need to for sure.
    3
  363. They’ve had the upper hand for a couple years now, but the tables are turning and they will regret this nonsense.
    3
  364. For sure!
    3
  365. It’s gross
    3
  366. Most places are
    3
  367. Clean history with no accidents so they say.
    3
  368. That’s awesome my friend!
    3
  369. Combined 41mpg. 191hp 155lb-ft tq
    3
  370. Can’t post links anymore but go to TFL Truck and check out their reports. Good car bad car, USA Newsweek.
    3
  371. They are really going downhill.
    3
  372. The heavy steering is a common complaint. I do feel like it’s more direct than others and safer because of it.
    3
  373. That’s what I’m going to do.
    3
  374. You're absolutely right!
    3
  375. Fellow car YouTuber, retired USCG, & old Ranger owner here. Congratulations on the new shop. Thanks for your service.
    3
  376. I buy and sell cars on the side. Owned property 150+ cars. I would keep many of them for lengthy periods. I’d have 3-6 personal cars at any given time. That’s a great idea. I’ll throw a list together for you my friend!
    3
  377. Probably so, that’s a lot of strain for an engine that size.
    3
  378.  @PrepperDawg  I’d go Trail Boss, easily the best value pickup. Frontier is right behind it but they’ve raised their prices as well. You get more in the trail boss. I’ve got some videos planned making comparisons and hate to do it, but I’ll rank them as well.
    3
  379. Couldn’t have said it better myself mate. Massive franchise dealerships are choosing to close down before giving people deals. They got drunk on free Monopoly money and won’t admit the party has been over for years now.
    3
  380. Smart choice
    3
  381. Same here. Total BS
    3
  382. Over $80k after loan and fees
    3
  383. That’s pretty sweet to have that much land. Hope you enjoy the truck!
    3
  384. I’ve been buying and selling cars for 25 years. None of that is going to happen. Nothing of the sort happened during 2008-2009 collapse and bankruptcy, 100% not happening this go around.
    3
  385. Yep, and I won’t be crying when it happens. Such a scummy industry that preys on nearly everyone.
    3
  386. Most likely
    3
  387. The repo rates are crazy. They are selling the inventory to dealers only and keeping prices inflated. Same with housing.
    3
  388. Thank bro, I appreciate it. YT isn’t much of a fan of me. My account got tagged with some copyright bs and hasn’t recovered from it. I’ll keep at it though.
    3
  389. That’s gross, plus you have 15% sales tax
    3
  390.  @AJ-HawksToxicFinger  Yep, it’s becoming a movement and it’s a shame. I’ll keep putting pressure on them. Thanks for watching!
    3
  391. Social engineering my friend
    3
  392. What trim does everyone like the most on the 4Runner?
    3
  393. Out of 400 million people, there are bound to be some with money to waste. Florida pays horrible wages and cost of living is sky high. Most people there are hurting just to get by mate. You know that.
    3
  394. I’m retiring from the military in like 6 months. I haven’t been to Wyoming in 20+ years but the heat here in Virginia is getting pretty annoying. I’ll have to go check that place out.
    3
  395. What’s up with it? Are there certain things that are really bothering you?
    3
  396. Most of those are in the mid to high 30’s now.
    3
  397. Dunno man, I love the styling. I hope they don’t go full Tundra on us.
    3
  398. Yeah there’s some base trims that are just a better setup. Maverick XL is great now it has cruise control.
    3
  399. We had 167 properties sell over the weekend. Almost none were below asking and many still above it.
    3
  400. These issues are a bit more extreme than most recalls.
    3
  401. I’ll be making some vids about that BS don’t you worry mate!
    3
  402. Yep, those and the old Nissan Hardbody pickups were the best!!
    3
  403. Congrats on the new truck and thanks for sharing!
    3
  404. Yeah these scumbags have always tried to hose people.
    3
  405. Sorry to hear you’re having all those problems, man
    3
  406. I think we’ll probably see even less body on frame in the future.
    3
  407. Yep
    3
  408. The price difference for me wasn’t worth it. They weren’t just $5k more, cheapest one I found was $12k more than I paid. If it had a super charger or something, sure but other than that, ehh. It’s not my daily driver so 2ss isn’t important in my case. Glad you’re getting one, awesome car
    3
  409. Why is that? There’s loads of misinformation being spread and people should see the reality on the ground.
    3
  410. A lift would be nice and some better tires
    3
  411.  @joethomas6457  28-30mpg in a Frontier is very good. I got in the teens in my Xterra and maybe 20 in my frontier
    3
  412. That’s the thing, Acura is most built in the USA. They could be kicking a$$ but missed the mark
    3
  413. Prices haven’t fallen.
    3
  414. That’s a huge part of the problem.
    3
  415. I’m definitely not paying it
    3
  416. Spot on my friend
    3
  417. Glad you’re liking it. I prefer the 2-door as well.
    3
  418. That was a ton of backlog fleet vehicles
    3
  419. Jill, did you check the tire pressure? Apparently the factory has been overfilling them which will compromise the ride quality. I test drove the XL Hybrid and the wind/tire noise was pretty offensive. I have a 2021 Tacoma and it overall has a better cabin experience. Great job on the video.
    3
  420. Yep, people are clueless about their true operations.
    3
  421. That’s what I don’t understand about Ford. They were supposed to complete all 22 orders before these. Sorry you’re having to wait.
    3
  422. Wife is 100% not letting me sell it 🤣
    3
  423. I think you’re right!
    3
  424. It’s growing on me but I’d still take the hatchback
    3
  425. Fuel is pretty expensive from what I remember.
    3
  426. They’re going to get every penny out of you regardless of the state.
    3
  427. Yep, you can drive my 04 Ranger off a cliff and it’ll keep going for another 300k miles. These Frontiers are pretty close to that. Top slot for modern times.
    3
  428. Wow man, that’s a great deal honestly. Those folks know it’ll probably be going for $125-$130k in the future.
    3
  429. You’ll be happy with it on the long ride. I’ve got the 2.5L hybrid engine. Did you get the ecoboost or hybrid?
    3
  430. The accord will get torn up on the roads there. I’d trade it in on a 4Runner and you’ll be able to sell it for a profit once you’re there. Tacomas, Jeeps, and 4Runners are top dog out there. People will always tell you to get an island beater, don’t! I used to ship salvage vehicles out there from Hawaii. They sell them like clean title vehicles. Don’t know if they still do this but you used to be able to ship cars Space-A to Guam. Contact the TMO and ask about it. May take a while but it’s free. Thanks for your service. I’m a retired CWO2! Hope you enjoy Guam, I miss it!
    3
  431. Totally agree
    3
  432.  @fishtwo1  I appreciate that my friend. Yeah the global parts sourcing is an unfortunate reality of the times. Be nice if they’d change that but I won’t be holding my breath.
    3
  433. This data is pulled the dmv’s database that shows the actual transaction price man. Wish it wasn’t true but it is. Sucks.
    3
  434. OEM’s have asked me to stop, that didn’t go very well for them.
    3
  435. Broncos have no business going that fast. Corollas really don’t either ha
    3
  436. I have access to dealership data through another business I have. CarEdge will also provide the data to their paid customers.
    3
  437. SV or S rwd is all 90% of customers need. I like taking my trucks on the beach so I’d like 4wd but that’s about the only time I use it.
    3
  438. I used to have a Tacoma TRD Off-Road. It was a great truck but had some downsides. Tremor is bit easier to live with imo.
    3
  439. I’ve done this in my other videos. They’ll let them get repossessed before giving someone a discount like that.
    3
  440. Get the Maverick Hybrid if you don’t tow or go off-road. It’s good enough to move furniture, ATV, and haul trash. If you don’t really care about fuel economy, want a real truck to do truck duty, and plan to keep it for a long time 5+ years, the Frontier is your best bet. Two great options, just depends on your lifestyle.
    3
  441. Yeah I was being harassed and couldn’t get to it
    3
  442. Yeah I forgot I had it on. I was getting over covid-19 and had to wear it in public.
    3
  443. Agreed! I’ve been in the silver game for a long time preparing for what’s happening now.
    3
  444. I wish trucks were that cheap still.
    3
  445. I’m definitely lucky for sure!
    3
  446. I don’t think there’s ever a scenario where a $60k Wrangler is ok.
    3
  447. They are just trying to milk their reputation from 20 years ago.
    3
  448. It’s just them being cheap man and engineers saying it’s not needed. It’s needed for sure
    3
  449. Appreciate the kind words! I’ll keep knocking them out for you!
    3
  450. Yes indeed!
    3
  451. Social engineering mate. They have been brainwashed by advertising to buy the more equipped AWD version of everything.
    3
  452. There’s about 25 in my area
    3
  453. In the description. I compared 6 different sources and used 3 for the video. All said the same thing. Edmund’s, car and driver, us newsweekly were the most thorough.
    3
  454. It’s ridiculous man. Hopefully it changes for the better soon.
    3
  455. If I would have, it would have been another $1,750 or so
    3
  456. Honestly, the Titan is my favorite full-size truck, Ram is a close 2nd.
    3
  457. Tacomas and 4Runners plastered in America flags is what always annoys me.
    3
  458. Haha yeah I only had a couple mins before they were going to start crap with me. I’m pretty sure the gas is fully exposed too.
    3
  459. Good to know, just got a new mic. Probably something with the settings. Thanks for watching and I’ll keep my eye for any used Mavericks
    3
  460. Just like Stellantis
    3
  461. Honestly those accords had a lot of issues unfortunately. The civic performed quite a bit better. The paint issue with Honda is also an easy fix but they refuse to do it. American cars have the best quality paint in most cases tbh. We loved our 4Runner but with the amount of miles we were putting down, it was just too expensive. 17mpg on average versus 41mpg. I’ll probably buy another 4Runner in the future but more for off-road than commuting. Thanks for watching
    3
  462. They’ll let their dealership burn to the ground before backing off on them. Non-negotiating dealership. “Our best price is upfront” hahah joke
    3
  463. Yeah I’d rather have a classic!
    3
  464. I would too
    3
  465.  @ronniehill6142  JD power just gave them the top spot for reliability. Toyota Tundra is last.
    3
  466. Yep, that’s nuts
    3
  467. Almost seems like it
    3
  468. It is for sure
    3
  469. Yep, I’ll be keeping it for the rest of my days
    3
  470. Yep, great trucks and definitely under appreciated. Glad you’re loving them and thanks for watching
    3
  471. Yep, and I’ve owned 4 Mavericks 🤣
    3
  472. Chevy needs to get their lifter issue fixed but other than that, they will have less BS than any brand new platform.
    3
  473. Frontier is a solid truck. Couple things I don’t like is the rear seat. It’s waay too upright. Fuel economy is crap, no rear a/c vents, and the turning radius is also bad. Other than that, it’s probably the best choice for long-term ownership.
    3
  474. They are 100% going with a turbo 4 cylinder engine and most likely a hybrid option.
    3
  475. GT’s were starting at like $35 in 2015. I’m not shocked by the prices tbh
    3
  476. I honestly prefer the Canyon AT4, Colorado Trailboss, and Frontier Pro-4X over the new one. 23 TRD OR may have a decent discount on them now if you’re looking at keeping with Toyota but it’s basically the same truck you have
    3
  477. That’s still $6,000 off on an awesome car! Enjoy it!
    3
  478. Haha I’d rather you’d be out driving your Camaro as well. Thanks for watching though!!
    3
  479. Yeah they need to step up the limited. Go sit in a GMC Canyon Denali and then go back into the Tacoma. I’d take the Canyon
    3
  480. Yep, it’s stupid and I tell them all the time, an OK price today will be a pipe dream a year from now. They need to take whatever they can get.
    3
  481. That’s a common practice for rental fleet vehicles by every brand. They know they get destroyed basically and don’t want to pay for the maintenance support down the road.
    3
  482. That’s awesome. Overall it’s a great truck. Glad you’re loving it and thanks for watching!!
    3
  483. Savagegeese is the best overall automotive channel on YouTube. I’ve been watching Mark since the beginning. Keep up the great work gentlemen.
    3
  484. It’s a real shame.
    3
  485. They also refuse to give loaners which is really awesome of Honda.
    3
  486. Same in Virginia 😑
    3
  487. Sales of the Type S are tiny amount by comparison, so no. Most things that suck about the Type R, the Type S fixes. Interior is nicer, much more comfortable ride, a lot less road noise. Elantra N and GTI are great options but both feel underpowered to me. The last Golf R I drove was 2022. It’s much more adult friendly and comfortable. I’ll review one for you. I couldn’t get rid of my Camaro for the Type R, it would need another 150hp to really get me excited to drive it.
    3
  488. The 3 I’ve been dealing with have all been total garbage unfortunately. I imagine there’s decent ones out there, probably like 4 or 5 in the US.
    3
  489. They definitely don’t want information being pushed out to question the all mighty Japanese automaker’s reliability. Everything they do is perfect, didn’t you hear ? 🤣
    3
  490. That’s a surprise
    3
  491. A stripped down base wrangler with crank windows should not cost more than $28k. Loaded up Rubicon $ 43k max. This is why Suzuki Jimny sold out in 20 minutes when it was launched in Mexico. Probably be like 90 seconds in USA.
    3
  492. Enter the VIN into NHTSA’s recall database. Link is in the description of the video. I’d also do on the manufacturer’s site just to double check. Use this to negotiate your purchase price as well. You’ve had to assume more risk and there’s a cost for that. Tell them you’d like to get some that covered upfront in your purchase price.
    3
  493. That is tragic and not a surprise at all. These dirtbags will do whatever they want. Going to have to trade one poison for another unfortunately.
    3
  494. I ended up getting one for $17 at pick-n-pull Va Beach. Nice headliner too.
    3
  495. Sim, falo mas não fluentemente. Eu pensei em fazer vídeos em português. Você acha que as pessoas estariam interessadas nisso?
    3
  496. Yeah it’s a brick though so it’s expected
    3
  497. It’s honestly nicer in person. The screen is one of those bullshit stick on’s that Mazda started a long time ago. Easier to upgrade though.
    3
  498. It’s happening already.
    3
  499. Great truck!! I want one but don’t need. Watch my review on one I did a few months ago.
    3
  500. I’d go Mazda.
    3
  501.  @yardboy3955  usually make a deal with another brand.
    3
  502. They already are my friend. It’s only going to get worse.
    3
  503. Almost no oem give you one. Toyota has the composite bed but that’s about it
    3
  504. Yep!
    3
  505. I’d get it still man. It’s the best overall value in comparison to the comps. You’ll be able to make money on it most likely. Might as well give it a shot.
    3
  506. Yep big time
    3
  507. It’s dumb
    3
  508. Thanks for sharing your experience, my friend. I’m really glad that you got out and found yourself a very good career. That is paying well and has great benefits. There’s nothing wrong with taking the hard road, makes getting there at the end that much sweeter. Cheers mate!
    3
  509. Yep, hence my comment at the end. The truck will take a crazy amount of work to be solid again. I love those pickups but I wouldn’t give a penny over $2k for that thing.
    3
  510. Same here, you can get one for $38k and they are awesome.
    3
  511. That would look good and they need to lift it 2 inches.
    3
  512. You know that’s been said plenty of times. Sucks but you need to be informed walking into something this expensive.
    3
  513. Yeah that’s great for an off-road vehicle
    3
  514. I don’t hate it but that price tag can get bent
    3
  515. They made 10’s of millions the last few years. Probably paid cash for the cars and getting kick backs from manufacturers.
    3
  516. My niece paid $5k over msrp for one. I told her she’s part of the problem and she may as well taken that money and thrown it into a campfire. The msrp alone is too much. My Camaro was like $1,500 more than that and would eat that car and crap it out of my amazing exhaust.
    3
  517. It’s just money going from your wallet to theirs.
    3
  518. They really should come up with a proper efficiency based hybrid system getting mid 30mpg. I like this more but Toyota Grand Highlander hybrid beats it out in most categories. I'd buy this in 2 years on the used market for $30k less.
    3
  519. My co-worker really liked his Rock Creek Pathfinder. I prefer the older ones like 2006-2012.
    3
  520. My 2024 Camaro SS would smoke that thing. I paid $43,800 out the door for mine and it has a manual. $107,000 before taxes & title 😂
    3
  521. Yep, it’s crap
    3
  522. Spot on!!
    3
  523. I’d honestly just keep your 2020. You can get wireless apple CarPlay, heated seat covers, and whatever other nice to haves in the aftermarket for far less than swapping out your current truck. If the transmission is the issue for you, there’s tunes available that fix that for about $400. Tacoma World forums have all the information.
    3
  524. Same here. Honestly the previous gen is a better car, much more comfortable just as much fun.
    3
  525. It’s their Roman chariot they’ll use on their way to the shop ha
    3
  526. Way too expensive
    3
  527. Best small pickup ever made imo.
    3
  528. Yeah 10yrs on the lot would be a different story ha
    3
  529. Yes they do!
    3
  530. The sales for those configurations are in the toilet for every manufacturer unfortunately.
    3
  531. Those Buicks are extremely underrated. I also really like body style on the early 90’s F-150. They came in this bluish purple color that was amazing. You have great taste my friend!
    3
  532. It was the result of them raising vehicle prices by 60%, laying off workers, cheap imports of materials, and the government printing press going straight to their bank accounts.
    3
  533. All good points
    3
  534. Glad you’re enjoying it. I averaged 40.9 over my entire ownership of the Maverick hybrid. The other manufacturers need to step up.
    3
  535. Yep, it’s nonsense and I hope no one makes their buying decisions based on it.
    3
  536. Yeah that’s why I was getting the XLT for 22 MY. Glad they came to their senses.
    3
  537. Fingers crossed
    3
  538. They produced that last on the 14th of December. It’s over man, that’s partly why I bought one.
    3
  539. They’ve had some big misses for sure. This car is excellent though. Panel gaps were perfect, no rattles, no heat soak or power loss. Oddly this was built in England but they did a great job.
    3
  540. 2020 redesign made a huge difference. I’ve owned Tacoma, Ram, 4Runner, Jeep, Suzuki Sidekick, and Xterra Pro-4x for off-roading vehicles. The Xterra is by far my favorite.
    3
  541. I had to declare a lemon law on my 2016 Tacoma. Complete turd
    3
  542. Dang near all of them, really dumb
    3
  543. Those are amazing cars. 3 of my favorite cars are the old WRX, EVO, and SRT-4. Mazdaspeed 6 was underrated as well.
    3
  544. Same here mate!
    3
  545. Yeah that would be nice. They only do that in the access cab. I’d almost prefer a regular cab with 7ft bed, it’d look better and be more functional. Thanks for watching!
    3
  546. Too bad you sold the Ranger man. I’m keeping mine, love the 5spd and reg cab.
    3
  547. Fortunately it’s a large 4cyl so it won’t be like the 2.3 from Ford. They definitely should have left the V6 as an option. It was already paid for and easy to source. They don’t listen to me though ha
    3
  548. Yep
    3
  549. Yeah the dealerships and people in general are ripping each other off. $10k can buy a lot of gas.
    3
  550. Yeah that’d be sweet with a manual!
    3
  551. https://pressroom.toyota.com/vehicle/2024-toyota-tacoma-i-force-max/ Updated the description, sorry got sucked into some work stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting mate!
    3
  552. That’s the plan
    3
  553. Advertisements like that don’t usually translate to a purchase agreement. Bait and switch!
    3
  554. I’m sure!!
    3
  555. Bet that’s a nice rig. Great pickups!!
    3
  556. Rear AC vents is a huge miss. No sunroof as well. Ford’s excuse of this being a global truck has run out.
    3
  557. Not me
    3
  558. Too many dopes out there
    3
  559. I actually the 2021 RDX for Mrs. Rev Nation we didn’t like our experience with it. You’re the the center console is terrible and the A/C couldn’t keep up with the heat here in VA/NC. The fuel economy was terrible and the inside is cramped. Looks outstanding though! It’s a common theme with Acura. The exterior design team is far superior to the rest of Acura.
    3
  560. I’d honestly just get a new one. I’ve found a couple deals on Tacomas and 4Runners on FB and CL but it’s rare. There’s also the chance that people have beaten the crap out of it.
    3
  561. I’d prefer the base tires. These ones ride pretty crappy on the road.
    3
  562. I love the SV 4x4, that’s the one I would actually get most likely.
    3
  563. I lived in Spain, Ireland, and Poland and remember seeing the same bs there.
    3
  564. Under served market for sure
    3
  565. The only other powertrain that’s better is what you get in the GMC Canyon and Colorado ZR2. It adds 40 more pound feet of torque. The next powertrain is in the Nissan Frontier. This the best all around value currently.
    3
  566. You know it! Total dirtbag and did literally the worst job possible.
    3
  567. Most will drive around like a Camry.
    3
  568.  @rudestboyem  yep, they tank instantly. Best to buy one like 3-4 years old.
    3
  569. Many of them born daily
    2
  570. How is it a lie? Dealerships are overstocked with trucks and they aren’t selling. $130,000 Broncos are exactly flying off the shelves either.
    2
  571. Yeah that was a great deal, they are getting insane now though.
    2
  572. Haha yeah they’ve gone down hill for sure
    2
  573. Could be
    2
  574. Nissan is forcing dealers to take allocations that they don’t want because of the their surplus. My friend owns this dealership and they crush sedan and suv sales, do hardly any trucks. They now have to swap with other dealers or discount them heavily. The trucks have been there going on almost 3 months. Like is said in the video, probably a good time for you get to get a Frontier.
    2
  575. Yep, it’s sad they’re going that route.
    2
  576. My 2016 Tacoma was a total pile and in the shop multiple times. My 21 and 22 were perfect. My Frontier and Xterra were both rock solid, zero problems ever and I beat the snot out of them on the trails. I don’t think my Tacoma would have stood up to what I put on my Nissans. I would destroy Jeep Rubicans and TRD Pros all day in my Xterra Pro-4x.
    2
  577. They have more padding, softer materials, and much more premium outer layer.
    2
  578. Yeah it’s way better than mostly any new truck’s bed
    2
  579. Love the 2021, gets all the good improvements of the new but still old school style.
    2
  580. They are in lala land for sure. One day they’ll wake up.
    2
  581. I get that and you’ve got the experience to back that up. One of the major issues is that no one wants to train anyone anymore. They will then float from shop to shop never learning a solid foundation. I was a diesel tech in the Coast Guard and switched to telecommunications because of that bs. All my civilian auto tech jobs, I was taught essentially nothing and expected to know it all. I hope you’re training your young guys.
    2
  582. It’ll get there for sure. All the spendy trucks are sitting for going on a year in many cases. I’ve found brand new 2022 Silverados lol
    2
  583. The size of Chevrolet four-cylinder turbo engine is extremely large in comparison to others. It’s the same displacement as Ford’s V6. Meaning that the engine will not be under constant load because it’s too small, and it will not need much in the way of forced induction for optimal performance. This will increase the longevity of the engine and provide a smoother power band. I do wish it was more efficient though.
    2
  584. That’s a shame and they parade around like the reliability kings🙄
    2
  585. Australia prices on everything are awful. It’s unfair to their citizens & residents.
    2
  586. Yep, it’s sad
    2
  587. Yeah I’m shopping around for some now. Hopefully score something soon
    2
  588. Probably the best one to get man.
    2
  589. Bison is a sweet rig that would smoke the Tacoma off-road.
    2
  590. The magna ride is the only thing I’m missing. Black on black looks awesome in this car. Yep, I test drove a 2014 that the kid beat the crap out and no rattling. The build quality is so much better than a Mustang.
    2
  591. Nice! Hope you enjoy the new Jeep!!
    2
  592. Yeah exactly
    2
  593. You can get a Cayenne at that price
    2
  594. My buddy works there. Things aren’t good because buyers often can’t qualify for financing.
    2
  595. Most of them are even than that now. Go look at a Ridgeline, it’s a joke what they are asking for them
    2
  596. Smokin deal haha
    2
  597. Yep, it’s a shame
    2
  598. Glad you’re loving it mate!
    2
  599. Glad you’re loving your truck. Thanks for watching and stay tuned to see what happens.
    2
  600. The Oahu government tries their best to make shipping trucks their so expensive, that your profit vanishes. I lived in Honolulu for seven years and used to buy and sell vehicles there.
    2
  601. They do, it’s discounted to be like $33k now
    2
  602. And they won’t

  603. Yeah I agree. It’s nice to have all the cabin space in the full-size Sierra but it’s like driving a school bus as a daily, no thanks. Thanks for watching.
    2
  604. I agree! It’s probably my favorite truck in the segment for the money.
    2
  605. Pretty much
    2
  606. I agree mate!
    2
  607. We’re a rare breed these days my friend. It’s truly sad! I even had a lot of this shit with the young kids I commanded in the military. I’d have to go in the other room and say “I won’t choke slam them, I won’t choke slam them” 🤣🤣
    2
  608. Good call, I’ll look at that. I want to get a bed mat. Not doing a liner.
    2
  609. I had a fully outfitted Xterra Pro-4X that would destroy this thing for $8,000. Sold it to my nephew because I’m too nice to family 🤣. I fully agree with you. You’ll have a lot of fun I’m sure.
    2
  610. Yes, there’s discounts of 20% on Gladiator Rubicons that are $66k or more. I’d recommend asking for a purchase agreement and you’ll see the true price. You’ll be disappointed.
    2
  611. There’s a ton of recalls for sure
    2
  612. I sold my 21 for a big profit. I’ll re-enter when the market sinks a little more. What trim do you have?
    2
  613. Happy you’re enjoying the truck.
    2
  614. Jeep Comanche, those were rad!
    2
  615. Huge miss on the seats IMO
    2
  616. Glad to hear that!
    2
  617. There’s definitely better fields out there
    2
  618. You’ll be happy you did mate!
    2
  619. 6.4L is a really solid engine that gets overlooked. Tacomas have a very inflated reputation. Many Asian automakers do.
    2
  620. They've really gone nuts, haven’t they?
    2
  621. That’s a good deal my friend!
    2
  622. It’s all bullshit that you get for free from that auto group. $999 Nitrogen in the tires and that crap. No different than a markup.
    2
  623. The TRD Off-road ride quality is quite poor.
    2
  624. The pro-4x is great. I had a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x and I used to destroy Jeeps on the trails. Hope you can take it out and get it dirty soon! Thanks for watching!
    2
  625. Thanks for the feedback
    2
  626. I used it for hauling trash and small furniture. Had to use my Ranger’s 6ft bed for most things though. Got a CR-V hybrid instead of keeping the maverick. It made more sense.
    2
  627. For doing the worst job possible. My old running shoes as the CEO would be a net gain.
    2
  628. Yep, car has honestly been kind of a disappointment overall for the brand. These amazing dealers will help kill it off even faster. Thanks for watching!
    2
  629. Yes it is
    2
  630. I’ll check out those coolers. Do you have the 2.3L in your 08? Thanks for watching & commenting!
    2
  631. According to other car YouTubers you can 50-60% off MSRP on Jeeps and Ram🤣 They’ll say anything for clicks. Sad
    2
  632. Though I like the C8 Corvette, I would not pay $80-$90k for a toy like that. Most people won’t, even if they can. Now $40k, we can talk.
    2
  633. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I agree with you and circle back and let us know how the Frontier is treating you. Great truck!
    2
  634. I had a 2021 TRD Off-road, great truck. Sold it for profit after I got my 04 Ranger.
    2
  635. The lariat does a great job insulating noise
    2
  636. Many of those people out there
    2
  637. Many places are paying techs $15-$20 per hour starting out. They won’t want $35-$45hr experienced techs.
    2
  638. Yeah it’s one of the dumbest moves I’ve seen in a while
    2
  639. Our CR-V hybrid has 76 cubic feet of cargo capacity. I don’t think many people will downgrade to this size wise.
    2
  640. Ok they are declining in Austin. Almost everywhere else is at all time highs again and bidding wars are back. Inventory is at its lowest and 40yr mortgages. In the last 100 years, there’s only been 7 years of home price decline. Not looking good for your side of this mate! I wasted a ton of time listening to your bs and the others. Missed out on being able to buy an affordable home with low interest. Thanks bruh!!
    2
  641. Yep! It’s a great felling clutch too. I’m not going aftermarket on that part ever if I can help it. Not a fan of ACT.
    2
  642. Didn’t you know that assembly line employees need to make $85/hr and only work 25 hr a week but be paid for 40. Then get better healthcare than the military for free. 2 Paid Cancun resort vacations a year. 3 years maternity leave.
    2
  643.  @AromaShade  yeah it’s a smooth ride. It’s a great truck so far. Minus that stupid windshield issue
    2
  644. I like both colors but sequoia seats do look pretty sweet
    2
  645. I’m fully with you on that. Unfortunately we’re in the minority and Ford is all about the $$$. They will probably stick with the crew cab.
    2
  646.  @pacificdragon1  more like $1,000 a month
    2
  647. Yep
    2
  648. Yep, it’s crap
    2
  649. More like 30-40%, it’s crazy
    2
  650. Congratulations on the GX460, that’s an amazing rig mate! I’ll be diving more into the 4Runner soon.
    2
  651. I appreciate it mate, and I’ll keep putting them out. Trying to help the consumer as much as possible.
    2
  652. Almost no vehicles at the same price point have manual lift gates and there are situations where it’s annoying. Totally subjective though. Thanks for watching.
    2
  653. There’s not enough quality used cars available is the main problem. Everything is so expensive that owners aren’t getting maintenance done. Could 3 years with 1 oil change, you never truly know.
    2
  654. No automatic headlights unfortunately
    2
  655. FJ’s are sweet!
    2
  656. Killer deal on a great vehicle
    2
  657. Like I said, I had a Fiat when I lived in Spain and it was fine. Underpowered but got the job done.
    2
  658. Yep
    2
  659. Manual would be amazing in that car
    2
  660. Part of that is the used car market has been so inflated for a long time that dealerships overpaid for the trades. They are upside down on a bunch vehicles now and no one is buying. They are offering crazy lowball amounts at the moment. Hit up Vroom and Ecopark, you’ll get a better price. Definitely not as good as the pro or off-road though, you’re correct. Keep it a year or two into the new generation and you’ll make out like a bandit.
    2
  661. Those jack wagon’s would do it on paper towels in the bathroom if they could ha
    2
  662. I had a 2007 Wrangler Sport, was a really vehicle. I’d still have it but a relative needed a good vehicle.
    2
  663. When you lose 90% of your profit and don’t offer incentives means that you have some sort of “reassurance”. There’s bigger issues mate!
    2
  664. If you get charged more than that, it’s pure robbery. $450 for charger and $1200 max for labor.
    2
  665.  @randyp9491  they are starting to discount Tacomas but mainly the way overpriced SR5’s. $47k haha Even a $10k discount would still a rip off.
    2
  666. Titan is a great truck but no one bought it. Will be a good used option.
    2
  667. It’s wild how many there are!
    2
  668. It’s crazy they still have people waiting around from 21. I got screwed on mine last year when the dealership placed a $7500 markup on it the day before I was picking it up. Despite having a signed purchase agreement etc. ford did nothing about it.
    2
  669. I agree, I would go trail boss unless I get a killer deal on the AT4 which is doubtful.
    2
  670. Frontiers are great pickups. You’ll enjoy it.
    2
  671. Yeah that’s a sweet year. Had an 87 T-bird, awesome car that I miss
    2
  672. Just bigger tires. I put Monroe shocks in as well. Lifted it a bit from both
    2
  673. No surprise
    2
  674. My friend lives in Brazil. Said he contacted you and his only option was to renounce his citizenship from USA. He ended up having to pay like $400k in taxes and hasn’t lived in USA for 10 years. Very lame.
    2
  675. Yeah the used prices are supposedly coming down, don’t think the dealerships got that memo.
    2
  676. The market sure didn’t give a crap about any of this today.
    2
  677. Putting the black letters on and probably do some new wheels
    2
  678. Great color in the trd pro and off-road
    2
  679. Yep, good news for them
    2
  680. It’s a superior pickup as well. All the crap Toyota skimped on, they knocked out of the park. A better engine, styling and more usable space. More capability as well.
    2
  681. They’d rather sell you a $100,000 car nowadays
    2
  682. Yeah it’ll be interesting to see what they end up doing with it.
    2
  683. Yes I lived in Spain and Ireland and appreciated that fact. What I didn’t appreciate is being charged for ketchup and having bottled drinks constantly. No free water even though the water is clean. Creates such a massive amount of waste and costs. Second hand or defective items were still expensive. In Spain the government can take your home if you don’t stay there all the time. Ireland sold their economy to Apple and Google. The entire place is BS now. I left and went to Poland. Way better than any other EU country I spent any time in.
    2
  684. Yeah they could easily fix that but want to slap the pilot front end on it and be done. There’s certain colors that it looks better in but overall needs to be redesigned.
    2
  685. Thanks I really appreciate it
    2
  686. That’s true
    2
  687. Yeah it’s really awesome but hybrid is great for the wallet
    2
  688. I had a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport Inferno. Such an awesome color, sold it for profit but regretted it quickly 😂
    2
  689. $799 for oil changes & “platinum protection” $699. This is all free from their auto group. Priority auto in Virginia.
    2
  690. Not in my local area because they went crazy with markups. A tiny dealership near me had 11 on the lot recently.
    2
  691. 164k, still has tons of life left!
    2
  692. Yeah it’s my favorite on the new Ranger. I still wouldn’t pay $47k for it.
    2
  693. We got rid of ours and got a CR-V hybrid instead. Not perfect but better quality than Ford.
    2
  694. I’ll be driving one this weekend for a couple hours. Looking forward to it.
    2
  695. Texas pays horribly compared 90% of the country. Mississippi and West Virginia are the only places I’ve seen worse.
    2
  696. Yep but you’ll definitely have less issues with the Nissan.
    2
  697. Trd off-road has crawl control, multi terrain select, and bilstein shocks. Trail doesn’t have any of that. Just the rear locker and some knockoff shocks with a 1inch lift.
    2
  698. I drive a 2004 Ford Ranger as my daily. Paid $2,500 for it
    2
  699. Yep, might bring back a few memories😁You couldn’t have taken better care of it my friend. I still feel like I’m dreaming ha
    2
  700. Yeah it’s about $9k too high.
    2
  701. Yep, crazy
    2
  702. She was part of my capoeira school in Hawaii. She was really good.
    2
  703. Mexico now
    2
  704. Yep, you’ll find better deals at our local BMW dealer, it’s ridiculous
    2
  705. There’s a major market there for sure. I do feel that if a mid-size true hybrid came along, it would dominate like the Maverick did. Affordability would be the main issue.
    2
  706. Yeah, exactly, this goes to show that regardless people are going to be excited about something new
    2
  707. Unfortunately, that seems to be the trend.
    2
  708. You know it!
    2
  709. I appreciate that! I don’t suck up to any brand. I’ll gladly give credit when it’s due. Chevy Colorado Trail boss is perfect example of this. Has the same capability as a TRD Pro dang near and it’s $37,000. With inflation, they actually lowered their prices and gave you way more than the outgoing model. Literally the exact opposite of what Toyota did.
    2
  710. Thanks for watching mate!
    2
  711. That would be awesome if you can’t get it for that
    2
  712. They want you to take their crappy financing. Never say you’re paying cash. They get paid by the bank when you get the loan.
    2
  713. The mold on it must have been off then. I’ve had 3 of them and no issue. I’ll let them company know.
    2
  714. Nice! I would’ve went lariat but the Mrs and my daughter hate leather seats. I hope you love it!
    2
  715. I like the older S4 and couple RS models. RS prices are completely bonkers for what you’re getting. Salesman was trying to sell me on a RS3 and I pointed to my Camaro SS and said my car would eat that thing ha
    2
  716. I’m thinking I’m the first car review guy to have this color tremor. Turned out really awesome
    2
  717. Stupid Jones Act. I lived in Hawaii and Guam for a long time. Total BS. Islands have dealt with inflation for 100years
    2
  718. No surprise there, people are just sick of the BS You
    2
  719. Same here
    2
  720. Haha, don’t blame you. Beautiful truck. I owe you once again my friend😁
    2
  721. Yep, massive rip off
    2
  722. Yeah it’s tough to find
    2
  723. Dealers will take advantage of elderly, women, military youth, handicapped, literally anyone who’s uninformed. There’s some decent sales reps out there who won’t but most are just worried about the paycheck.
    2
  724. That’s crap, Canada always gets screwed on prices.
    2
  725. Yeah it’s a total ripoff, I honestly think the msrp is outrageous too
    2
  726. That sucks man. Glad you’re happy with your defender though.
    2
  727. Yes they’ve gotten quite boring
    2
  728. They will probably add it during the next refresh. Possibly new powertrains too
    2
  729. It’ll continue to go down until rates drop again
    2
  730. Apparently you’ll be seeing more soon
    2
  731. Subscribe for more Frontier content
    2
  732. Yep, ridiculous
    2
  733. Hopefully someone will buy it.
    2
  734. Yeah it’s weird. Got a new mic, should be fixed in the future
    2
  735. I like those older Colorados with the 5cyl. Hard to find a well kept one nowadays.
    2
  736. Yeah that’s how it works sometimes. I found my Ranger on FB. I looked at like 10 before I bought one. They were all in terrible shape. I knew I could fix this one easily so I pulled the trigger. Keep that truck for as long as possible.
    2
  737. Nothing wrong with the off-road imo. I’ve owned two and never didn’t have any of that stuff. Your setup will be great.
    2
  738. I owned 4 Ford Mavericks. All 2023 models, got lucky but ended up selling them all. The new price isn’t great. I’d rather get a Colorado for $1,500 more.
    2
  739. They are down for sure. Nissan Frontier and GM sales are up big time.
    2
  740. Great job you two, love your videos!
    2
  741. Yeah GM making cruise control an option you have to pay for is insane.
    2
  742. Word! It’s a cool truck and I hope you enjoy it my friend
    2
  743. Yeah that would be cool
    2
  744. I appreciate it my friend.
    2
  745. I’ve found them at msrp in the DC metro. On the CTR forums and loads of people are getting them at msrp which is $44k with no ad-ons.
    2
  746. Haha yeah it’s not for most
    2
  747. They are total junk in most cases and not safe.
    2
  748. That needs its own video. Insurance = largest Ponzi scheme ever.
    2
  749. There’s DMV that shows a drop. Real world could be different
    2
  750. Yep, total trash. Previous one was rock solid.
    2
  751. Thanks for watching! I ended up selling my Tacoma after restoring an old Ford Ranger. 6.5ft bed, 28mpg hwy, manual transmission and I paid $2,500 usd.
    2
  752. Yeah I like that one as well. Wanted the 2021 TRD Pro Tacoma in Lunar Rock, no dice unfortunately.
    2
  753. Apparently they are or just had some earplugs in. Who knows. Love wasting tons of my time though, super rad!!
    2
  754. The Southeast Toyota distribution center. They are the ones who do the XP package.
    2
  755. This one definitely had CarPlay, I connected my phone to it. I assumed android auto but I guess not.
    2
  756. Free advertising mate. Any press is good press.
    2
  757. You have a start/stop off button but it doesn’t completely deactivate it. While cruising at consistent speeds, it’ll automatically shut down cylinders to save fuel. I’m not a fan of it.
    2
  758. I had one for a press vehicle. It had transmission issues and the powertrain was very unrefined. It was also $47k
    2
  759. That 8inch touch screen really spoils it.
    2
  760.  @JCT442  Yesh man, it was a pretty sweet gig for my entire adult life 18-40yrs old on active duty!!
    2
  761. They will be worse. 4runner was always a couple grand higher than their Tacoma counterparts.
    2
  762. I own several of them, you’re not wrong 😑
    2
  763. I can go either way on it. Backup cameras are a luxury imo
    2
  764. I’d go Mazda, especially if you’re a Ford person.
    2
  765. I’m working with the corporate office on getting a recall authorized for the windshield situation. It’s still a great vehicle overall though. The space, functionality, and fuel economy are unparalleled. I need a pickup bed though. If you don’t need one, then there’s loads of SUV options that are relatively economical. Thanks for watching and let me know what you’re in the market for and I’ll do what I can to assist 👍🏼
    2
  766. BMW is really hit and miss. My 2016 328i had zero problems for 100,000 and then I sold it ha. I figured things would start going downhill. Audi seems to be problematic much earlier but some cars have been pretty solid like the S4. Bad software, plastic parts, and over complicated design = bad news for owners
    2
  767. Bet that’s is a sweet rig my friend!
    2
  768. There’s ones out there with $15k off. That’s why these morons are completely delusional.
    2
  769. Wow man, sorry to hear that. Hope they get it sorted.
    2
  770. Great stuff. I’d like to talk about creating content with you sometime.
    2
  771. That’s a whole other video to cover that garbage
    2
  772. It's a great truck but the competition was just too much for it to succeed. Tundra sales number have always been a joke as well. Big 3 will always dominate the full-size truck market.
    2
  773. The $200,000 markups on 911 GT3’s they do is just gross. They’ve been ripping people off for decades.
    2
  774. VA Beach hasn’t dropped for crap. Homes are still selling immediately and above asking in many cases.
    2
  775. Pat, you all have consumer protections that have been in place for centuries at this point. The American model is that those are a deterrent to a “free” market. This results in completely above & underground industries that prey on the uninformed & ill equipped.
    2
  776. I posted the purchase agreement. $49k after taxes, tags, processing ect.. still waaay too much money for something that rides like crap
    2
  777.  @jimmywalters3071  sounds like a good deal man!
    2
  778. Haha yeah that’s my camera, it’s from the UK😆. I had owned one before so I knew all of these things as well. That’s great that you’re getting that good of gas mileage. I’m happy you’re loving the truck! Thanks for watching and follow me, I’ll be making making more 4Runner content.
    2
  779. 💯 truth
    2
  780. they will, you should see the amount of 4runners and Tundras they have. Still marking them because of tax season, it's ridiculous.
    2
  781. I owned 4 Ford Mavericks, flipped 2 and sold the other two to family members. The bed wasn’t great but it worked overall. 40mpg was awesome compared to my 18-19mpg in my Tacoma.
    2
  782. Yeah it’s a bait and switch tactic.
    2
  783.  @g-mang-man7924  I do 90% of my own maintenance. I’d get one after all the depreciation had ran its course. I agree with you though, the love for the driving dynamics would have to out weigh money concerns.
    2
  784. Almost all of Virginia is at all time highs. Everything I’ve looked at has sold nearly instantly with multiple offers above asking. New construction prices on the NC are up 32% YOY.
    2
  785. The build quality was very poor for sure. I had loads of issues with my first one.
    2
  786. Thank you! I appreciate it
    2
  787. Gotta love the shadow ban if it doesn’t fit big brother’s narrative.
    2
  788. Good points, thanks for watching and stay tuned
    2
  789. Everyone wants a school bus nowadays mate!
    2
  790. That’s why I went with a 1SS Camaro. Stripped down driver’s car.
    2
  791. Yep, they have them sitting around with $15-$20k markups ha
    2
  792. Yep, everyone is starting to question their worth anymore. Especially Ford and any new OEM like Tesla. There are good dealers out there but it’s getting rarer.
    2
  793. If anything, I could see Mitsubishi release a pickup that’s similar to the Frontier. I’m not sure Honda would move their Ridgeline back to body on frame. It’ll be a very long time before any real movement on the merger.
    2
  794. Yep and get a massive discount on one sitting on the lot. 4runner is great and all but come the F on.
    2
  795. I’ll keep pumping them out for you mate!
    2
  796. You’re absolutely right, it's a real shame.
    2
  797. It’s hit or miss but there’s certain dealers that have given up for sure.
    2
  798. I have access to dmv data through my side business. You can also pay for an account at CarEdge and be able to see the same numbers.
    2
  799. I don’t mind a real key. They used a bulky switchblade style that was irritating.
    2
  800. I went down this road in the past and the dealership can do whatever they want. The USA has some of the worst consumer protection laws on earth. I took a case of markups and add ons to court and lost. Was basically told to go f myself even when I had a signed purchase agreement. The dealership lobbies killed any laws not in their favor.
    2
  801. That is the truth, man.
    2
  802. Hahaha very very true mate!
    2
  803. Heard that’s a great upgrade
    2
  804. Yeah man they are the best. Toyota has some big shoes to the fill the next generation. I have my doubts let’s just say haha thanks for watching and please subscribe my friend
    2
  805. Sure, I get it man!
    2
  806. Yep, 30-40% off and you’d be at what the normal price should be.
    2
  807. If you’ve got a truck you enjoy, might as well stick with that. If there’s a day where I can buy the new $100k Tungsten for $40k, I’ll make a video about how wrong I was ha.
    2
  808. Oh yeah bro, I’m going to baby that paint big time. Looks amazing!
    2
  809. Yep, it’s total bs
    2
  810. Yeah that’s uncalled for.
    2
  811. Great suggestions
    2
  812. It’s even worse when you lay the 3rd row down. All your items will fall and get everywhere. It’s essentially unusable
    2
  813. I bought one of the last production 2024 Camaro 1SS manual for $4k under sticker 8 months ago. I could sell it on bring a trailer for probably $10-$12k more than I paid. They only made 49 of the spec I got.
    2
  814. What did you end up paying? Glad you’re loving it. Thanks for watching!!
    2
  815. Yep, they are totally mental on price
    2
  816.  @JCT442  yeah those are ridiculous
    2
  817. I’m happy it worked out for you and wish there were more like you in the field. There’s definitely opportunity if you’re smart about and work hard.
    2
  818.  @jimlubinski4731  yeah man, the manual in the Mustang is a turd. That’s a big reason why I got a Camaro, plus the stock suspension in the SS is much better, engines in both cars are excellent. Mustang values are tanking so you should be able to snag one for a “decent” crappy price before too long.
    2
  819. Those are pretty nice. Maybe shop some of the older models.
    2
  820. Yes, he doesn’t like many GM SUV’s. If you can find one way back with the 3800 V6 in it, he strongly recommends those engines. Mostly Buicks and Oldsmobiles.
    2
  821. And that’s why I stopped watching both of them. There’s more to cars than Toyota. I get really annoyed when mechanics just do nothing but beat that drum. I nearly had to declare a lemon law on my 2016 Tacoma. My wife’s 2012 Camry is a complete turd, still runs but is falling apart and an awful driving experience. Those are the top two, and some are crap, just like every other brand.
    2
  822. That’s awful, I’d go after them for lemon law clause
    2
  823. EXACTLY
    2
  824. I do think certain areas will definitely go down in value a lot but nothing like 2008. I closed on my house in October 2023. The same house was $175,000 more in October 2022. Not a crash but a massive haircut. Florida, Arizona, and Texas are getting spanked right now housing wise. Typical boom and bust markets there though.
    2
  825. CarEdge has a network of dealers they work with. Probably worth reaching out to them.
    2
  826. Getting back to an analog driving experience like these trucks provide is luxury of its own. The Mazda B-series were always my first choice for compact pickups, couldn’t find one. Fully agree with the appreciation on these, I’m restoring mine and once it’s done I could get whatever I ask for it I’m sure.
    2
  827. Don’t buy one from that place man. Shoot me an email and I’ll help you find one revnationauto@gmail.com
    2
  828. It’s got a 2,000lb tow rating. I’m looking at pulling a jet ski or two but not much else.
    2
  829. Nah, they waived the tariff for them
    2
  830. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I appreciate you watching as well!!
    2
  831. I was honestly bummed when you told the Tacoma. Electric Lime Metallic is a phenomenal color.
    2
  832. They’ve been crushing it for the last two years. Plus during the pandemic they did well too because they had inventory 🤣
    2
  833. Yeah it’s dumb
    2
  834. That’s a great little pickup. I’ve owned 4 of them haha
    2
  835. Sounds like you’ve made an awesome rig. Glad you and the wife are enjoying it. Keep me posted on anymore stuff you do with it. Thanks for watching, stay tuned for a lot more 4Runner content.
    2
  836. I don’t blame you for that one man!
    2
  837. They’ve always been sh$theads
    2
  838. I really like the red too. Underrated imo
    2
  839. CX-5 is more reliable according to all research outfits. I’ve had to replace the fuel pump twice in my Mazda 6 and battery cables. I’ve owned it since 2016. I’ve owned 3 Subarus and had similar amount of issues as I would with any vehicle. CX-5 is a solid choice if you don’t need a ton of space.
    2
  840. Yeah they are, it’s an obsolete business model and pretty always has been. You used to order your car from the Sears catalog and buy used ones at swap meets. No reason it couldn’t work that way now.
    2
  841. I just bought my third Ford maverick in six months so I can’t really say anything
    2
  842. Yep
    2
  843. It is a shame, I'm with you on that.
    2
  844. Yep, they’ve been at that scam for a long time. Porsche does this with their GT car to the tune of $250k sometimes.
    2
  845. They blow, I’ve had them twice unfortunately
    2
  846. I was being sarcastic
    2
  847. I’d flip it
    2
  848. Yeah I hear a bunch of unreliable reports but the angry folks are always the loudest. Time will tell. I road in one recently and it’s definitely nice.
    2
  849.  @unclebilly1353  just get an old Isuzu Trooper, 4Runner, Xterra, Rodeo, Pathfinder. They are all very capable, reliable, and more comfortable than Jeeps. Save you a ton of money too if it’s just a pull behind
    2
  850. I’ll look into getting the frame treated. It’s not driven in rain or snow and is kept in the garage. Never hurts to be safe though. 200k is a great run. Get yourself another one while you still can.
    2
  851. That’s wild
    2
  852. Yeah msrp is the new steal
    2
  853. I’ll be doing more videos on cheaper car options. Stay tuned!
    2
  854. In the 2005-2008 models they had some issues with the transmission. Haven’t heard much about the new ones having problems. The Frontier is currently #1 most reliable for midsize on repairpal.com
    2
  855. Ehhh they are having a hard time selling things at msrp, let alone some niche vehicle that few can afford with $15k of added BS.
    2
  856. Many don’t like the style of the new one
    2
  857. Yeah man, they are awesome. Should’ve gotten one a very very long time ago. Never too late I guess!
    2
  858.  @raymond_sycamore  haha you won’t be able to afford food after those prices. You’d be shocked at the amount of people who actually put themselves in that position.
    2
  859. Ridgeline meets most people’s needs just fine. I do wish it had better ground clearance. Got a foot of snow today and my old Ranger crushed it.
    2
  860. Yep, solid truck. I owned a 2022 trd or
    2
  861. Yeah it’s totally rad. Far and away the best value high HP sports car that’s been made in the last 30 years.
    2
  862. I got a priority code 10. I had a situation with Ford last year. It wasn’t a rollover though.
    2
  863. Absolutely right!
    2
  864. Dang right
    2
  865. Yep, buy here pay here weekly model, 23% interest and a grandma’s wedding for collateral.
    2
  866. Yep, happens all over the place
    2
  867. Mid-size Ram would have been a much better idea imo
    2
  868. Yep, probably like 110k
    2
  869. that would be nice
    2
  870. Trash-mobile
    2
  871. That would be nice
    2
  872. All great points. I used to live in Seattle and you’re spot on about Subarus 🤣. I too appreciate quirky vehicles and honestly did enjoy driving the Santa Cruz. Watch my Maverick videos and you’ll see why I sold both of mine. My old Ranger can go cliff jumping and barely get a scratch. I don’t know what happened to Ford but their quality controls are out the window. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you don’t mind!!
    2
  873. Congratulations. You were the main reason I voted for Trump.
    2
  874. Your dad is a really cool guy, and I’m very grateful he let me review his amazing car!! He told me you make videos too. I hope you keep it up and make it big one day!
    2
  875. Gotta love it
    2
  876. Yep, I had a 2014 loaner when my lemon 2016 Tacoma was in the shop for 2 months. Thank god I was in Hawaii and didn’t have to drive over 35mph hardly ever. Total pile of junk, felt like I was going to bounce off of the side of a mountain 🤣
    2
  877. This will never be competitive until it gets a hybrid powertrain. They would have 300% of them easily. Dumb move.
    2
  878. I appreciate it my friend. After almost 22 years in the military, I can finally grow it out. Thanks for watching.
    2
  879. Great suggestions my friend!
    2
  880. I agree that’s quickly changing. The charging speeds will gradually get better over time. I’d rather it take a bit longer but preserve the life of the battery.
    2
  881. Sorry to hear that mate! It’s all zeros and ones at the end of the day. Don’t let it eat you up! You’ll be able to score better deals down the road.
    2
  882. Same here my friend
    2
  883. Just another scam for dealers to take your money
    2
  884. You’ll probably be fine man. Most people aren’t having a bunch of problems with theirs.
    2
  885. Amazing truck, you’re going to love it!
    2
  886. I love my 2004 Ford Ranger. Will outlive the new stuff easily.
    2
  887. Most vehicles come better equipped in Canada which is good and bad. You get less choice but often a good value.
    2
  888. Elon Musk is making $56 billion for his salary this year.
    2
  889. It’s good direction but Toyota will never lower their MSRP
    2
  890. I agree
    2
  891. I plan on getting my own setup now that I have a bigger house and garage. I lived downtown in a condo before so that wasn’t an option.
    2
  892. My 25 years of buying and selling cars provides nothing either.
    2
  893. Probably huge costs yes but that price is absurd.
    2
  894. Yep, that’s one of the big problems with it.
    2
  895. It’s ok, the Camaro is better imo.
    2
  896. I don’t like the width and bulky exterior.
    2
  897.  @dave3657  not a surprise at all. I see the same cars come and go all the time.
    2
  898. I’m closing on my new construction home in a couple of weeks. I could sell it for $100k more than I paid the next day. There’s still f all for inventory and lower mortgage rates will only cause bidding wars. They are still happening.
    2
  899. That’s nuts. There’s plenty of “deals” out there but I get it. Tell him to get a Ram Classic or GMC Sierra Pro, Chevy WT
    2
  900. You’ll be able to make money on it if you decide to sell it. It’s worth getting imo.
    2
  901. Yes they are completely insane
    2
  902. Older Pro-4x are a great option. Owned a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x and a 2016 Frontier SV. I loved both.
    2
  903. More padding on the top, in counsel light, deeper, and duel charging ports.
    2
  904. Yep agree
    2
  905. Hahaha
    2
  906. Haha it’s a nice truck overall
    2
  907. Nice thAnks
    2
  908. That’s the current trend
    2
  909. Canada gets screwed constantly. I’m going to take a trip up there and document it.
    2
  910. Yep, it’s nuts
    2
  911. I’m sure they can figure something out. I’ll reach out to them. Thanks for watching. Share it with your mates.
    2
  912. Typo
    2
  913. Haven’t heard that word in decades
    2
  914. Thanks, I’m blown away I have as much traction as I do my wife. I appreciate everyone who watches!
    2
  915. Those are nice! I did 22 years, thanks for your service
    2
  916. Glad you’re liking the new career but that’s a bummer.
    2
  917. Yeah it’s sad. My old Ram truck was great but they have gone downhill big time. It’s Toyota’s turn
    2
  918. I’ve owned both and liked them both equally. Sentra got better city fuel economy and was quieter. Corolla was more fun to drive and got better mileage on the hwy. Tin can feeling overall though.
    2
  919. I agree with you. I think the black is the best color option for that trim, looks great! Thanks for watching.
    2
  920. Yes I agree. This is a confusing offering and I honestly don’t see it lasting long. What’s the point really? GM made this mistake by duplicating vehicles under different brands, names etc.. It doesn’t work, and they should know that.
    2
  921. The CVT is a downside but the general have no idea what that means nor care about it. There’s endless other CVTs that blow. Car people are of course going to be in the know.
    2
  922. Yep, those are some killer numbers
    2
  923. I’m making another video to discuss the positives aspects of the vehicle. Almost everyone I’ve spoken with has had these issues with their 22 and a couple with the 23. Most 23’s haven’t been delivered yet.
    2
  924. It’s all show no go. They did the same thing with the 4Runner 40th anniversary edition.
    2
  925. Same here mate!
    2
  926. I’d pay $31k for the Tremor just like I did in 2023. $43k, no way.
    2
  927. Yep, it was like talking to someone under the influence ha
    2
  928. There’s a couple Youtubers that are based in Oregon and their Toyota lots are overflowing with Tacomas
    2
  929. Their sales have exploded. Especially the cheap ones.
    2
  930. It was crazy from the get go, not much to be honest.
    2
  931. Great trucks
    2
  932. Thanks mate. I’ll check out your channel. GX460’s are dope!
    2
  933. Yeah that’s an upgrade for sure. I’d get the 6ft regardless of trim.
    2
  934. I hear that a lot.
    2
  935. I’ve gotten into it with them a couple times about their nonsense. They don’t give a shit because there’s tons of fools willing to hand them money, until there’s not. The people like me who will be buying trucks during the downturn will remember this👍🏼
    2
  936. Bro, please get your teeth fixed. I literally can’t watch this channel anymore because of it. Start a go fund me and I’ll donate.
    2
  937. They were available for purchase under the existing inventory.
    2
  938. Like I said, I had a Fiat when I lived in Spain and didn’t have any issues. Underpowered but good enough to get around.
    2
  939. I hope not but we shall see
    2
  940. It’s almost a must for resale value because of that mindset. If you plan to keep the truck forever and a day, 2wd long bed is where it’s at for sure. Better towing, better fuel economy, and a lot cheaper price tag.
    2
  941. I appreciate it my friend!!
    2
  942. They will come down a lot. Problem is, now you have a truck that's been sitting for 2 years.
    2
  943. That’s the best one out there man. Plus 42% off is awesome!!
    2
  944. Haha I can see it, I actually like the Renegade more than other turd compact SUVs. They all suck but some suck less.
    2
  945. Yep, it’s a great feeling!
    2
  946. I’ve owned 4 Mavericks, 3 XL hybrids, and a XLT Tremor. Sold all of them because of not having enough room for 7 vehicles. Also my old Ranger made it irrelevant. I’m surprised you all didn’t buy one. My press rep from Ford told me that’s no word on AWD hybrid. They are struggling with supply chain.
    2
  947. Yep!!
    2
  948. Nice! Thanks Michael and thanks for watching!!
    2
  949. I would love to get my hands on an Exige.
    2
  950. I paid cash for it and waived any add-on bs at the end with the finance department.
    2
  951. My 2004 gets 3-4mpg better than that and has a usable bed. It was literally 1/22nd of the price ha
    2
  952. It’s the world we live in unfortunately
    2
  953. That’s going to be a lot of at stress on that powertrain
    2
  954. Frontier is a great truck. They’ve raised their prices too but nothing like this.
    2
  955. Honda has had quite a few issues lately. I prefer the Frontier, but the Ridgeline has a more comfortable ride and a better back seat. You’ll be good either way you go. Frontier can tow much more and offers a deeper 6ft bed. Better ground clearance but Fuel economy will be 2-3mpg worse than the Ridgeline. Neither are selling great currently, so shop around and make sure to TEST DRIVE both before you buy.
    2
  956.  @ramonahumada4  you got it fully decked out, nice!! Thanks for watching btw. Subscribe if you don’t mind.
    2
  957.  @kilnntime2953  had a full truck and was going pretty fast. It would normally get around 38hwy.
    2
  958. Nice! We have a family home in Vietnam. I’ll get a Jeep next time I’m there.
    2
  959. Yeah I’d go for that one as well
    2
  960. What do you all like or dislike like about your vehicles?
    2
  961. I’m doing the same thing!
    2
  962. That’s crazy, even for the base trims?
    2
  963. The banks will gladly borrow the funds to you at 9-14% interest.
    2
  964. Found a dealership to give me a higher priority code, ordered fleet spec with zero options. Look for a dealership to give you a priority code 10. I’ll make a video breaking it all down.
    2
  965. Thanks man!!
    2
  966. Probably needed more capability
    2
  967. It’s not, but Mazda is a great example of the forces at play. A simple, nice, reliable car is being produced and sitting unsold. Millions of buyers have zero idea that it exists. They will go and buy a bloated expensive vehicle because they’ve been convinced that they need to ride high, go off-road, haul thousands of pounds, and be able to live in their vehicles. It’s a ruse.
    2
  968. Ask the housing market crash bros where your cheap 50-60% discount new construction home is? Supposed to have happened for 4 years now…. Same with this nonsense.
    2
  969. Yeah it was terrible
    2
  970. I’d love to have one for sure but not onboard with the price tag. It definitely looks better in person.
    2
  971. Yep
    2
  972.  @dapetik  that would be good. My base 4cyl Ranger tows 4k with less power.
    2
  973. I paid a lot less for my Camaro which is now impossible to find. Mustangs that are a year old will be $25k
    2
  974. I was the first person to use that phrase in this video. 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro - This Should Be A CRIME https://youtu.be/985sPwcQEU4 I feel like I created a bit of a monster with it. Things go wrong and they definitely rot, lines, electronics, seals, endless things.
    2
  975. Glad it was fixed mate!
    2
  976. Virginia, you could ship one for a cheap
    2
  977. That is super shitty. I hate insurance companies, it’s a scam. They shouldn’t be able to not cover you because you’re working. That’s actually disrupting commerce and is highly frowned upon in the courts, I’d fn sue them.
    2
  978. Ram is making some good moves to try and recovered.
    2
  979. Those are nice trucks!
    2
  980. Yep, one of the techs told me. Great color combo though. Thanks for watching my friend.
    2
  981. I have a SRT-4, love it
    2
  982. Those old Broncos are sweet man!
    2
  983. I love the GMC Canyon. It’s way nicer the the Ranger. Congratulations
    2
  984. I swear they feel invincible. Too big to fail.
    2
  985. Yes, I’ve been doing that for 25 years. It’s become much more difficult over the last few years.
    2
  986. I love the Delorean, not sure why, but I do ha
    2
  987. Great point!
    2
  988. Hope not but I’m sure it won’t be long
    2
  989. Great video fellas. I'm beginning to like the WRX more and more.
    2
  990. Yeah it’s really stupid. It’s so they can act like they’re saving you money when they take it off.
    2
  991. Looks like it
    2
  992. I agree, the solid mechanicals are a huge selling point.
    2
  993. Yep, it’s complete nonsense designed for scumbags to make ad revenue. Don’t fall for it. I’m an actual engineer and work with supply chain, manufacturing, unions daily. I also own a side business buying and selling cars. Most of these other channels are clueless.
    2
  994. I appreciate it man. Yeah it’s sad what’s happened here and they could have been on par or better than Lexus. Hope they turn things around.
    2
  995. I appreciate the comments my friend. I agree with your points, my only beef is that they retained the SR5 trim components with it as apposed to having its own thing. 4Runner did the Venture edition and I thought was a great execution. I’m not sure why they didn’t give the trail Ed bilsteins, I highly doubt it was a massive savings. I owned a 21 TRD Off-road but saw the writing on the wall and sold it at the peak to Carvana for $43k 🤣 paid $40k 18months prior. The trail looks way better than pretty any other trim. Happy you’re loving it! Thanks for watching!!
    2
  996. 100%
    2
  997. Exactly, hopefully they wake up soon
    2
  998. Good choice!
    2
  999. Thanks for the tips
    2
  1000. I’m not one to do that much either but loads of others seem to. I get asked about the materials in vehicles often. It’s seen as a bit of a tell regarding cheapness factor. I do really like the powertrain in the SC though.
    2
  1001. Yes, most people can’t afford an $80,000-$100,000 car. That’s not a bad thing. A car shouldn’t cost that amount of money for the masses.
    2
  1002. Wtf that is so cheap. How are people not affording these homes? Do jobs in Texas pay like shit?
    2
  1003. 44,500 on the black one. White is unknown because the odometer doesn’t work.
    2
  1004. I’d keep the Maverick
    2
  1005. I was planning to move to the the mountains and was going to need the same. That plan fell through when I lost my job. All good though, all great pickups.
    2
  1006. That’s what it should be but clearly they are still getting away with it
    2
  1007. 15 city 20 hwy, real word is about 17.
    2
  1008. The build quality has improved significantly. I completely agree with you on the colors.
    2
  1009. Yeah the XL seats blow but I used my heated leather seat covers, helped a lot.
    2
  1010. I’ve heard that and others swear it’s amazing. I haven’t lived with one for more than a couple of weeks.
    2
  1011. That’s a great setup
    2
  1012. Ha yep, ultimate off-roader, literally off the roads ha
    2
  1013. They aren’t looking at their last years sales. Might be up compared to the previous quarter when the car wasn’t really available. Overall, way down compared to last year at the same time.
    2
  1014. Just go sit in one and then go sit in 2023. The material quality went in toilet. Buzzy turd engine that gets crap fuel economy and makes no more power. Transmission has had tons of problems. The backseat got smaller.
    2
  1015. Drive her till the wheels fall off mate! Great suv and that’s a great model year. Just missed the pandemic problems .
    2
  1016. Tax returns, it’ll go back down before long. Already seeing it on 4Runners and Tundras. All the American brands as well.
    2
  1017. I have access to dealership info through my side business. Shows the dates they were legally available for sale I.e. “on lot”. You can see this information on CarEdge through a paid account as well. I can’t guarantee their accuracy though.
    2
  1018. Yeah I’ve got a cheapo mic and will be getting a new one
    2
  1019. When you rev it heavy you can tell the difference but yeah, stealth is not very stealthy 🤣
    2
  1020.  @ganthore  happy to hear it mate. Hopefully you got a nice discount on it.
    2
  1021. Just wait, those discounts will end unfortunately. My area seems to set the trend for scummy dirtbags trying to rip people off.
    2
  1022. I appreciate that my friend. Should be up here in the next day or so.
    2
  1023. A crappy deal today may be a lifesaver 6 months from now.
    2
  1024. Probably 25% of the time nowadays. They are afraid of people showing the truth at the ground level.
    2
  1025. Hahaha, perfect answer mate!
    2
  1026. Sounds like a pretty good idea 🤣
    2
  1027. Air & cabin filters mate
    2
  1028. Yep, already had a bunch sitting in the junk lot behind the dealership. I’ll show it next video there.
    2
  1029. Ha I’m a Senior Satellite Engineer and retired military officer. I could buy 5 Raptors, would I ever? I would pay about half of what they’re asking just to rent it out on Turo to tourists.
    2
  1030.  @Danzilly  yep, it’s a great setup!
    2
  1031. Yep, it’s a great pickup!
    2
  1032. Jetta’s have had their troubles over the years but seem quite a bit better now. I like the GLI 6mt
    2
  1033. That’s a great deal mate!
    2
  1034. I’ve bought and sold cars for 25 years. All of that inventory will be auctioned off to independent dealers well before seeing discounts like what’s being spread all over.
    2
  1035. That didn’t take long, el cheapo special
    2
  1036. Nope. I’ve bought and sold cars for 25 years. These massive discounts that are advertised are 99% of the time a bait and switch. Watch your other YouTubers having to walk their nonsense back.
    2
  1037. They probably have a jacked up price on it.
    2
  1038. Yeah it’s definitely not worth the wear and tear on the engine.
    2
  1039.  @astro54541  the new Tacoma prices are ridiculous and that back seat is definitely a joke.
    2
  1040. You’re one of the few who agrees with me on that one. People will see it over time.
    2
  1041. Sounds like a pile of garbage.
    2
  1042. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  1043. It was one of the most unprofessional things I’ve seen in a long time.
    2
  1044. You’re going to be the one causing the unsafe situation though. Two sides to that e equation mate
    2
  1045. DSG is a great transmission, and the PDK is even better. I still don’t like them for a performance car. Commuting cars, I’d just go with a regular Jetta for those purposes. I do really like the GLI and I’m glad you’re loving yours.
    2
  1046. Hate it more every time I hear it haha
    2
  1047. Same here
    2
  1048. Yeah it’s dumb
    2
  1049. Yep, like I’ve said many times, they will toss them in the ocean before giving discounts like 35-60%.
    2
  1050. My insurance is insane too. I tried to make a video about it and big brother buried it. Imagine that…😑
    2
  1051. Yeah the rates are getting insane.
    2
  1052. I think it should have been $38k starting and allowed more customization. Power heated seat, sunroofs things like that
    2
  1053. I'd buy one of these in 3-4 years for 1/4 the price of new.
    2
  1054. Yeah that’s so true, all that extra stuff really just creates more issues.
    2
  1055. They don’t have the parts to support a mass recall. They are sending 1-2 like that so they can sell inventory under a waiver, not take care of those who’ve bought them already.
    2
  1056. They don’t work for many
    2
  1057. That’s rough man. I get 41mpg combined in my Ford Maverick hybrid. A lot less capable than the Frontier but I don’t use any of those capabilities so the Maverick makes sense for me.
    2
  1058. You and me both my friend! I’m going to keep calling these dirtbags out.
    2
  1059. It’s the only way my phone mount works. It’s a weird magnetic setup
    2
  1060. I’m trying to make the dealership do this. It’s BS and I won’t be paying for it, Ford will.
    2
  1061. Probably so
    2
  1062. Nope, placed it in September 22
    2
  1063. Hopefully those people get some relief
    2
  1064. Yeah those are oddly hard to come by. I’d take one for dirt cheap all day long.
    2
  1065. Manual transmission is even better on this, and cheaper. Love it
    2
  1066. They can shove it. $45kCAD max for that truck.
    2
  1067. It didn’t sound like it when I was being told about it. I agree that’s a major problem though. People having kids and not stepping up.
    2
  1068. It was getting blown all over the road. Cabin noise was punishing. Radio would connect and disconnect about every 60 seconds. Seats were uncomfortable, all materials were cheap as can be.
    2
  1069. Happens everyday. That’s what happens when you nail the styling. It has a peacocking presence and rides high. That’s all many people want to do.
    2
  1070. Nice! Yeah it’s great compared to other trucks and a lot of SUVs
    2
  1071. I’ll be doing my Tremor comparison as well here soon.
    2
  1072. I feel younger already ha
    2
  1073. They’ve got them way higher than that as well.
    2
  1074. Yeah I’m not super pumped about carpet. It’s not too long in person. I’ll probably just get a non-slip mat for the bed.
    2
  1075. That’s heartbreaking my friend. I hope you can get your hands on one. FB marketplace and don’t be scared if it’s beat up, parts are cheap.
    2
  1076. Turning out that way!
    2
  1077. It’s a great pickup. 2004 with 2.3L 5MT, 6ft bed. 167k miles and still truckin!
    2
  1078. 370 is a great car
    2
  1079. They have to step up their quality assurance programs, it’s not that hard.
    2
  1080. 9/17/22 is when I ordered it. It’s a regular 2023 order. Thanks for watching and commenting Joe!
    2
  1081. That’s a thirsty truck but a great one for sure.
    2
  1082. Perception of cheap sells itself.
    2
  1083. It was an experience for sure. Sad state of affairs.
    2
  1084. I sold the Tremor to a fan of the channel who got royally screwed by her Ford dealership. She asked if I’d sell it to her so I did. The Tremor was great but she was going to use it in the mountains and I wasn’t. Also, I wanted to help her out because I dealt with the same garbage. My 04 Ranger is great. I don’t hate Ford, I’m just telling the truth, a lot of people can’t handle the truth.
    2
  1085. The road noise and suspension were a no go for me. It’s also not fast enough, but I’m used to driving a 475hp Camaro as my daily. Overall great car, but not for me.
    2
  1086. We will see what prices look like
    2
  1087. I love the Canyon. It’s a much larger 4cyl and far more sorted that the Tacoma. Beats it out in every way possible. Congrats
    2
  1088. You should find one to test drive and really explore the vehicle. It’s one of my favorites of all time.
    2
  1089. Sounds like this SR5 I drove that had the piss beaten out of it badly. Mine doesn’t seem to suffer from any of that except the shitty gas mileage.
    2
  1090.  @ramonahumada4  they are tiny and a bit annoying but will be a blast to drive.
    2
  1091. In reality I didn’t but I get what you’re saying
    2
  1092. You’re stop on brother! The PRO-4X is a great truck. Thank for subscribing and watching. There’s going to be plenty more Nissan content moving forward.
    2
  1093. This area is heavy in the government sector. Won’t be the last to close its doors.
    2
  1094. I actually like it as well. It’ll be great if it ever gets a hybrid version and higher sidewalls in the bed.
    2
  1095. She’s doing a terrible job that’s for sure
    2
  1096. Yeah it’s lame
    2
  1097. I’ve done that it’s 100% not the case. Jeep Wrangler Sport automatic was $12,431 new in 1990. That equates to $29,569 today. Their MSRP is $39,990 before destination today.
    2
  1098. Same here mate
    2
  1099. That’ll be a really great edition to their fleet.
    2
  1100.  @shermdoggaming  that’s really crappy man. No reason hard working people should have to live in their cars. It’s disgusting and shameful for the world’s greatest nation to force their people to this.
    2
  1101. This looks the best so far out of the midsize truck segment in my opinion.
    2
  1102. I have a 2025 Model 3, it’s great.
    2
  1103. Chevy Colorado Trailboss is my best value pick of the last couple of years. AT4 is a nicer version of it. $52k is far more than I would want to pay for a pickup but I’m glad you’re pleased with the truck. Thanks for watching mate!
    2
  1104. Bro, what’s with the 20 clips of other people? It’s your video, correct? Feel free to use mine if that’s your jam. Not my cup of tea.
    2
  1105. Probably not a bad plan my friend! Early Rangers are the best in the segment. Toyota will take forever to roll their entry out, I’d just get a Ranger.
    2
  1106. $33k maxed out with every single option. With inflation, it would be $51,000 today, not $70k plus their costs have gone down due to outsourcing and tax evasion.
    2
  1107.  @spadecaller6300  holy good lord. That is beyond ridiculous. You’re not far from Korea. Singapore is a ripoff for almost everything. I went once and never returned.
    2
  1108.  @JameyPetit  the size and once you pull that tray, there’s a lot of room.
    2
  1109. Yep, hard to find content on work trucks. The algorithm isn’t kind to them unfortunately.
    2
  1110. They will be man
    2
  1111. Honda oddessy hasn’t had good reliability unfortunately. Resale value is important but so is actual liking the vehicle you drive. The Sienna is not great to live with everyday and has by far the least functional cabin. My CR-V has about the same cargo capacity.
    2
  1112. I used to live in East Cleveland. It was more dangerous than my time in the Iraq war by 500%
    2
  1113. It does look pretty good. Everything else isn’t great.
    2
  1114. Yeah I noticed that too when I was test driving it.
    2
  1115.  @PrepperDawg  work grade spec of titan is nonexistent. I do love that truck though.
    2
  1116. I appreciate it my friend. I’ve got a couple hundred videos of truth whenever you’ve got some spare time. I’ll keep putting out the reality on the ground.
    2
  1117. I agree, the 10 speed is not for me. If you’re disabled, I get it.
    2
  1118. Get yourself another one mate!
    2
  1119. Haha I did years in the sandbox. Thanks for your service.
    2
  1120. No idea, noticeable though, good catch
    2
  1121. I’m the richest I’ve ever been as well. 23 CR-V, 24 Camaro 1SS, 16 Mazda 6, 11 Camry, 04 Ranger. I have kids and parents to take care of which is why I have so many cars.
    2
  1122. The difference was that the Tacoma never really sat on lots. It sure is now.
    2
  1123. Made some great cars
    2
  1124. Dude, it’s still that cold up there?
    2
  1125. There’s so many things that can happen can drop your up to 200 points. Many times, it’s not entirely the person’s fault. Crooked industry as a whole.
    2
  1126. Frontier would be my pick. Drive them both before you buy anything.
    2
  1127. I paid $7,500 for a Stage 2 SRT-4 with bolt ons. 288hp 314tq to the wheels, 20 years old. Driven both of these cars and ehhh. Gold R is better but my SRT-4 is way more fun than both of these.
    2
  1128. They’ve really gotten pricey. I agree with you, the trucks are really solid. Their CVT has gotten less crappy but a regular trans would be better.
    2
  1129. Some solid points my friend!
    2
  1130. TRD Off-road premium is a great choice mate. Let me know if you need help finding one.
    2
  1131. Workers have gone downhill because their reasons to work hard are gone.
    2
  1132. Yeah it’s crap
    2
  1133. That’s nuts
    2
  1134. I don’t know if there’s smart enough people there to cook up an actual plan.
    2
  1135. They are going to have a hard time moving forward!
    2
  1136. That’s good, hopefully a lot of people will and their sales keep going up.
    2
  1137. I agree. Our operating costs were incredibly high. Great truck, the new one probably won’t be much more efficient unfortunately.
    2
  1138. If you're looking for one, just go on Cargurus and see who's the biggest discounts. Show your local dealership the deals you can get, and that most dealerships are now willing to ship to your door. You'll be surprise when you call their bluff. I order new vehicles from all over the country to get the best deal.
    2
  1139. They need to
    2
  1140. I’d snag that green one, they have other great colors too. Black Cherry and the dark blue look awesome as well
    2
  1141. I really love the frontier. I should’ve held onto my 2016 P4X.
    2
  1142. Yep, after a $5k markup of course ha
    2
  1143. Hahah, I can relate to that one friend!! 23 Premium is a great choice. I would have gone that route but the Mrs only likes cloth seats. C10’s are awesome, I hope you two enjoy the restoration process. Thanks for watching.
    2
  1144. My wife said the same thing
    2
  1145. Haha haven’t heard it put that way but I hear you. It’s part of what I like about my Ranger I suppose.
    2
  1146. Yeah that’s a good idea
    2
  1147. If it was my primary vehicle, I would have gotten a PRO. Since it’s for the Mrs, she doesn’t care about any of the stuff that bugs guys like you and I haha. Once these tires are used up I’ll be getting some AT of some sort. I think she’d go for blacking out the emblems thoug.
    2
  1148. They are overpriced by at least 15% Plenty of other dealers that’ll like to have your business.
    2
  1149. Toyota engineers do not understand turbo charging. Mitsubishi and Dodge Are the best at it and they should have paid them to learn.
    2
  1150. You sure don’t! Ha
    2
  1151. Many people got scammed on the Maverick
    2
  1152. Dang straight. My 2004 Ranger has crank windows, vinyl seats and flooring, reg cab with a long bed. Manual transmission, it’s great!!
    2
  1153. I dig it, great truck!
    2
  1154. Owned 2016 Mazda 6 for 9 years 170k runs perfectly 37mpg hwy
    2
  1155. Yeah they have voice operated alarms telling you to leave. Then security comes.
    2
  1156. The convertible is a complete turd. Honestly, the ecoboost has a better overall look than the GT. Darkhorse is awesome but for the money, no way.
    2
  1157. Thank you
    2
  1158. Thanks
    2
  1159. Many have done it
    2
  1160. Haven’t driven one but heard good things and it’s even cheaper.
    2
  1161. Yep, that’s why I’ve avoided them
    2
  1162. They are solid but thirsty trucks
    2
  1163. Thanks, and I appreciate you watching.
    2
  1164. Glad you’re enjoying the truck, it’s a great rig. These are small things that are entirely subjective, but overall I love it. Thanks for watching!!
    2
  1165. I have a set for sale
    2
  1166. Same here
    2
  1167. I had a 2016 Orange TRD Sport in Hawaii. First year model issues but overall great truck. Sold it for $500 more than I paid after taxes 2.5 years later
    2
  1168. Funny you say this, I’m posting a video tomorrow all about my Ranger. I absolutely love the pickup. If you can get one in decent shape, do it!
    2
  1169. Yeah it’s pretty weak. Your 24 is awesome!!
    2
  1170. I grew in the same era. There were some solid cars from domestics but many more were junk. I drive an old Ford Ranger now and it’s great.
    2
  1171. Yeah it’s crap
    2
  1172. Suffolk, VA it’s probably worth having one shipped. You won’t find deals on Subarus in Pacific Northwest. I used to live in Seattle
    2
  1173. Is a $40k cut really doing much? They are listed for probably double of what they were in 2019-2020.
    2
  1174. I knew you were in the military. I’m an officer in the Coast Guard. 10 moves in 17 years, I get it. I’m retiring in like 8 months.
    2
  1175. Watch my latest video on the Frontier S trim
    2
  1176. Many agree with you for sure
    2
  1177. 247 homes sold in my area in the last 7 days, basically none below asking. Went and toured new construction developments and they were backed with tons of people signing contracts. Virginia is not seeing any easing of any sort.
    2
  1178. Most are like this now, it’s nauseating.
    2
  1179. All good points! Thanks for watching.
    2
  1180. You’ll like my next video
    2
  1181. The manager was standing right there the entire time.
    2
  1182. It’s still happening all over there place. I’m one of the only people showing it!
    2
  1183. Oh I’ve made some videos on those ridiculous things. Out of control and people get duped into them daily. It’s sad but the reality on the ground.
    2
  1184. Yep, tables have surely turned.
    2
  1185. Yep, it would be drain on the wallet
    2
  1186. Please share this with your friends, family, and fellow car enthusiasts. Big Brother won’t promote it because they only want 1 trick ponies. Vive la Résistance✊✊
    2
  1187. Glad you’re loving it my friend. The road noise, fuel economy, recalls, and price tag were too much for me.
    2
  1188. Gotta love it man. I would expect anything different. I paid cash for a Ford Maverick and the salesman looks at me and says “great, now I don’t get my $50” . I wanted to walk out tbh, probably should have. How are you liking your truck?
    2
  1189. Read my pinned comment.
    2
  1190. Had they done a Ford Maverick EV type of truck, it would have crushed it.
    2
  1191. I’d rather it be an EV than this ha
    2
  1192. Same in Brazil. Saw Rangers and Fiat Toros everywhere, no jeeps or broncos
    2
  1193. Yep they are amazing trucks. I’m replacing my radiator here soon, going to just do the lines and thermostat as well. They built them not far from where I grew up in Minnesota, proud to own one.
    2
  1194. 44,000 miles on it
    2
  1195. They aren’t great. I’ve had plenty of issues with our 2023 CR-V
    2
  1196.  @btyhntr  just buy a Ford Maverick Hybrid and keep it for a couple of years. The resale value is best in class and the savings on fuel is great. It has a better ride than the Ridgeline and it’s $27k after all the bs.
    2
  1197. I’ve always liked both brands
    2
  1198. Me too my friend.
    2
  1199. That’s a solid truck to buy. A bit thirsty on fuel but dang near bulletproof.
    2
  1200. No, Fiat only sells the 500.
    2
  1201. Yeah man we had some good times in that car. Not to rub it in, but you definitely should have kept it. All of them will be ragged out or cost $40-$50k. Awesome car!!
    2
  1202. Hate to break it to you, the new switchblade keys are expensive to cut and need a true locksmith.
    2
  1203. Zero issues for those with an actual need for a larger truck. You are a small minority that legitimately uses the truck for what it should be used for.
    2
  1204. That’s ridiculous
    2
  1205. From an engineering standpoint, the 3.0 turbo is a great choice for the weight of this vehicle. The load one the power train will be minimal, you want that for longevity. When you want to get on it, it’s there. Yes a 5.0 would have been better but the structure of the chassis doesn’t accommodate the weight & size. It would be too expensive to retool things to make it work. We ran into this with Nissan. They attempted to put a V8 into the Xterra and it could pass safety specs.
    2
  1206. I’ve ridden in it as a passenger, seemed decent but can’t really judge without driving it.
    2
  1207. I work with a lot of new car dealers who are definitely selling cars. Supply chain issues are still a thing. Certain brands are doing terribly because now people have choices again. Full-size trucks and SUV have gotten so far out of hand that they aren’t moving much. $90k for a Chevy Tahoe…smart
    2
  1208. Yeah it’s great
    2
  1209. It was way worse than the previous generation. They went to extreme in the whole “track car” department. It’s also pretty slow to be honest. My Camaro SS would cut that car in half. Massive disappointment
    2
  1210. Man, I wish that were true. I witnessed people stretching to qualify to buy it. Banks will fn finance you up to your eyeballs.
    2
  1211. That’s actually a great price considering inflation
    2
  1212. Spot on mate
    2
  1213. It’s not impossible. We could figure it out. 99% are totally ragged out, it’d be worth it for one like this.
    2
  1214.  @shortfuse1981486  the same steps I laid out in the video, just select your mode. It’s best to leave it in auto select if you don’t have a favorite. I leave mine in sport mode 90% of the time
    2
  1215. Probably has a bit to do with it
    2
  1216. I haven’t had great experiences with our Acura or Honda’s. I did have a 2006 Civic beater that was decent.
    2
  1217. The Black Edition is a sharp looking truck! I agree with you on the ride for sure. It’s silky smooth!
    2
  1218. That blows man. My wife has a 2012 Camry that I thought was a 2004 the first time I road in it. Such a turd that looked like it had been in a few tornados. F-150 is a good truck overall. There’s a reason it sells the way it does.
    2
  1219. I’ll be making some more videos about that
    2
  1220. Cool video mate!!
    2
  1221. Arrogance at it’s finest
    2
  1222. I’m torn between this and the Colorado Trail Boss. There can be quite a massive price difference and the Trail Boss is just as capable. That interior on the AT4 is a really good place to be though.
    2
  1223. I honestly had to do so much wheeling and dealing to get this exact spec for my wife. Could’ve gotten the Premium trims much easier but she hates leather or faux leather.

    2
  1225. Yep, those are ridiculous
    2
  1226. That’s part of the problem for sure
    2
  1227. That’s just sad
    2
  1228. Yep, should have kept my 2011 Pro-4X. Sold it to a good friend though, oh well.
    2
  1229. It’s lame but most dealers do nonsense like this.
    2
  1230. Those older Ridgeline’s are awesome! My neighbor had one for many years that I’ve tried to buy, no dice ha
    2
  1231. Those are rad
    2
  1232. I’m with you! I’d like a regular cab long box STX with 5.0 & 4x4.
    2
  1233. You should get yours when the CEO gets his then haha, that’s amazing. Either they made a mistake or you did something right my friend. Keep me posted on your progress.
    2
  1234. It’ll sit for a long time. Hurts their sales staff, doing garbage like this.
    2
  1235. Spot on mate!
    2
  1236. You’ll love the Frontier! It’s a great vehicle.
    2
  1237. We’ve had two major ones close and 3 others be sold.
    2
  1238. I bought a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X already modded that would smoke both of these on the trails for $8,500. Kept it for 2 years and sold it for $11,500. I’d pinstripe the crap out of it and had zero care. Couldn’t say that with these two queens.
    2
  1239. Thanks for watching and I love to hear from owners. Happy you’re enjoying the Bronco!!
    2
  1240. Yes, true, very true!
    2
  1241. I used own two Saturn SL2’s. Really loved those cars.
    2
  1242. Oh man, those are really nice looking SUV’s. What’s your fuel economy like?
    2
  1243. That’s so lame too. I use my truck bed at a minimum twice a week. I paid $2,500 for it handful of years ago. 04 Ranger, it’s fn great!
    2
  1244. I own 1 EV and 7 gas cars. I can go into the advantages if you like my friend. Thanks for watching.
    2
  1245. Unfortunately
    2
  1246. Yeah man they’re crazy
    2
  1247. 🤮🤮 criminals
    2
  1248. Heck yeah man! They are a special vehicle that doesn’t come around often.
    2
  1249. I've heard that story a lot from people, and it's hard to argue with the cost of entry. The auto industry is not fair to the working man anymore.
    2
  1250. Yep, great vehicle overall
    2
  1251. Nice! Glad you’re loving the truck. I’m a fan of it overall.
    2
  1252.  @Commentleaver-c6x  ehhh I’ve done it and there’s minimal difference for thousands less than upper trims.
    2
  1253. Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting.
    2
  1254. I love my Dodge SRT-4 🤘🏼🤘🏼
    2
  1255. She’s hot AF
    2
  1256. My neighbor owns a shop and yes the electronics are more expensive but the electronics are rarely impacted during the accidents. Bodywork has actually gotten cheaper in some instances with 3d printing and more manufacturers competing. Labor costs are up but none of this equates to 60-200% increases in a 3 year period. There’s been electronics in cars for a long period. Insurance companies are just wanting to extract more money because….. they can
    2
  1257. Yep, they are junk!
    2
  1258. The depreciation is rough on these but great for you and other secondhand buyers
    2
  1259. No one buys those unfortunately. I love my long bed Ranger
    2
  1260. Could be contributing but it’s pretty doubtful given the lock that GM has on that market.
    2
  1261. Use this information to negotiate a better deal since you’re taking a greater risk that what was previously known. Thanks for watching
    2
  1262. I’ll upload a video tomorrow about it and show you all the paperwork. I’ll go over the order process as well.
    2
  1263. Oh yes the margin increase has been massive. Production costs have gone up yes, but at far far less rate than the price increases. I’m an engineer and deal with supply chain & manufacturing daily. Many of the same suppliers of the auto industry.
    2
  1264. Yeah man, I absolutely love it. I can’t really justify it at the current moment, but I am doing my best to convince myself I can ha ha
    2
  1265. Ford is been in contact with me almost everyday. I’ve provided them a bunch of information on this to relay to the plant. Hopefully you’re truck will be squared away when it arrives. Thanks for watching.
    2
  1266. Typo, good catch!
    2
  1267. Not too shabby, hope you enjoy it
    2
  1268. It’s back at the dealership now
    2
  1269. 5% was the current rate from Tesla. Insurance isn’t that low unfortunately. There’s an 8 yr warranty for your battery & drive unit. Bumper to bumper is 4yrs 50k miles. Brakes and rotors on the low end are $2,500 for parts. Labor will be another $600. I own a 2025 Tesla Model 3.
    2
  1270. Yep, it’s lame. It’ll probably harm the prices in the future as well. No longer exclusive to anything.
    2
  1271. I surprised her with the video hahah she wasn’t prepared but was a good sport
    2
  1272. Go for it, tons of used ones out there as well as new ones
    2
  1273. This keyboard commando forgot to capture the fact that if you're a General or Admiral, you've been working nearly for free for the last 10-20yrs of their time in the military. They are leaving their retirement and va disability on the table, at the same time their pay is capped to not be paid more than members of congress. I'd say they deserve a good paying job by the time they actually retire. Most won't be in optimal health to keep those jobs long. Congratulations on making another left-wing hit piece. - CWO Ret
    2
  1274.  @phonemeunit1973  thanks my friend! It’s ridiculous but the world we live in.
    2
  1275. I’ve heard it’s great on the highway comfort wise. Fox shocks are great
    2
  1276. Sell it to Carmax and go buy an older Ranger for $3,500. Try to get a 2.3L 5spd and you’re good to go for your truck needs.
    2
  1277. I appreciate it my friend. I hope you enjoy the truck and have no issues with.
    2
  1278. Definitely
    2
  1279. You’ll be able to get a smokin deal on used ones in the future.
    2
  1280. 5th gens are great but the cost to operate was pretty high. Wife’s commute had us spending Lambo money on the 4Runner ha
    2
  1281. Yes it does!
    2
  1282. Yeah it’s great
    2
  1283. Same reasons for me, the bed is what really made me walk.
    2
  1284. A cheap basic truck would be great
    2
  1285. I bet, probably on their 2nd transmission too.
    2
  1286. They’ve scammed a ton of people for the last 3 years, I won’t be heartbroken.
    2
  1287. The automotive market changes rapidly. Any predictions are tough to make.
    2
  1288. Tacoma is a great truck. There’s things I miss about it but I love saving $600 a month more!! Thanks for watching.
    2
  1289. It’s a very nice SUV. Eye watering price tag though
    2
  1290. This isn’t a fleet vehicle mate.
    2
  1291. There are a lot of Rangers on FB marketplace. 2wd manual 6-7ft bed are a little harder to find but they are out there. Parts are cheap, so don’t be afraid if they need some work. Paid $2,500 for mine and have about $1,500 into it. Worth every penny. Nissan doesn’t do a good job managing their truck division. You’ll be able to negotiate a good bit of money off of it but you’ll need to start that well before you show up. I’ll make a video on how to do this.
    2
  1292. The lower trims are always much harder for discounts. You could probably get $3-4k max off of an S trim. SL, Pro-4x, really loaded SVs, much more room to work with.
    2
  1293. Canadian prices are ridiculous and have been for decades.
    2
  1294. That’s the truth
    2
  1295. Glad you liked it!
    2
  1296. That’s rough
    2
  1297. That’s a sweet car
    2
  1298. Zero downturn here in VA Beach.
    2
  1299. That would be pretty fun but likely not as reliable as the current setup.
    2
  1300. They’re will be plenty of deals to be had over the next 6 weeks. End of year plus demand is in the toilet. First Team used to have great deals but they got greedy like the rest.
    2
  1301. Yeah it’s a great stance. I don’t think I can swallow the price.
    2
  1302. You’re probably right. Hope your truck comes soon! Thanks for watching. Subscribe if you could
    2
  1303. Ford Maverick style pickup on a real frame would be a start. Wait, that’s my 2004 Ranger 25mpg combined.
    2
  1304. GMC Canyon is probably my favorite truck of the bunch. Colorado Trail Boss and Frontier Pro-4x base are the best value
    2
  1305. That’s complete BS on Ford’s end. I’m sorry you’re getting strung along like that. Hopefully you’ll like the truck once you get it.
    2
  1306. I leased a 2025 Model 3 and love it.
    2
  1307. 2 months
    2
  1308. Yep, it’s completely insane
    2
  1309. Yep it’s nuts
    2
  1310. Those are generally expensive AF too. You must have gotten some money off of it.
    2
  1311. I’d like to check that doc out
    2
  1312. You should buy the Titan Pro-4X next. Good value play.
    2
  1313. I’m happy you’re liking the truck my friend. I appreciate you watching!
    2
  1314. That’s fricking terrible. How are they being contaminated?
    2
  1315. I don’t love the wheels.
    2
  1316. Same here my friend. I’ve got an old Ranger that’ll go 500k miles. I’ll stick with that
    2
  1317. There are weak brackets behind the bumper that get bent if you blow on them hard but I need to get a welder to heat it up and bend them back straight, just haven’t gotten around to it. Great pickup though.
    2
  1318. It’s all over the place still. People think there’s 50% off msrp sales. Reality, $3k nitrogen.
    2
  1319. Good luck with the new business. Cars will always be there.
    2
  1320. It is pretty shocking how little progress has been made.
    2
  1321. I appreciate it my friend! Thanks for watching, you all are why I do it!!
    2
  1322. That changes by the day unfortunately. OEM will send out notices and change the whole structure on the fly. For example, one of the worst invoice pricing I’ve ever seen was on the Ford Maverick. The dealerships would make $400 on each one they sold. Where a Silverado might have $18-$20k of profit. It’s all over the road. When I sold cars, if there was not at least a 14% profit margin, it wasn’t worth moving the vehicle. That’s sort of the rule of thumb in the industry 12% is the lowest you’d want to go before all your overhead creeps in.
    2
  1323. It’s a great truck!
    2
  1324. I’ll be making a lot more updates.
    2
  1325. You won’t be sitting around being pissed about it for years when you look at the truck ha. I’m the same way. I’ve walked from probably 100 deals or more.
    2
  1326. I just had a Sentra, solid car!
    2
  1327.  @HuronRiver-ke8xn  great points. Maverick sold over 90,000 so far this year. They are now completely with the Silverado and F-150 numbers wise.
    2
  1328. I want to buy one
    2
  1329. How so?
    2
  1330. Thanks, yeah it’s great!
    2
  1331. Hahah you got that right my friend. It’s sad
    2
  1332. Thanks for watching!
    2
  1333. That’s crazy, I got lucky for sure
    2
  1334. Shouldn’t be too tough to find one.
    2
  1335. I've made $700 total 😂 Happy for you and the family my friend!!
    2
  1336. It’s been there for at least 3 years now and the price hasn’t dropped a penny. Smart business owners clearly.
    2
  1337. That’s great. I liked the Abarth version.
    2
  1338. Great breakdown. It’s truly shocking when you take a serious look at the numbers in the real world.
    2
  1339. I really like that version of Colorado. Solid pickup without a bunch of BS.
    2
  1340. It happens mate. Life lessons
    2
  1341. Looks amazing, great job showing it off you two!
    2
  1342. You should just get a 3rd row SR5 for your wife. Got my wife a cloth 22 sr5 base for $40k. She loves it and I got $50 heated seat covers that’ll fry eggs they work so good. I’ll make a video on those.
    2
  1343. Hahaha that’s an $10,000 for the grenade package Sir.
    2
  1344. I’m glad you’re loving your Ridgeline. I stared numerous times in the video that I actually like them a lot. The purpose of my video is to highlight the reasons that they are struggling right now. I also gave my opinion on the things that would stop me from buying one. I’ve strongly considered them in the past and may end up buying one at some point. The bed doesn’t work well for what I currently use it for.
    2
  1345. Loved those old Rangers. You could get them for $12k after negotiating.
    2
  1346. That’s awesome. Where did you buy the lift and have you changed the wheels? What’s your gas mileage like in it with the lift and tune?
    2
  1347. Yep, I forgot to mention, they have a $999 doc fee too
    2
  1348. It’s sad but their engineering team worked on these trucks for years. I’m a systems engineer and know their processes very well. They blew it. Sucks but it happens.
    2
  1349. Yep, I’ve got some vids coming on that topic.
    2
  1350. You’re right about that
    2
  1351. I’ve sent the video and attempting to start a dialogue with their press reps. It’s a start. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts.
    2
  1352. I noticed the shift back in 2005 or so. I only hear mechanic when you’re talking about a small shop with 1-2 folks turning wrenches.
    2
  1353. I had a 2022 TRD OR. Gas mileage sucked but overall, a great truck.
    2
  1354. Silverado is a great truck! Congratulations mate!
    2
  1355. Yep, I was always destroyed physically every night I got off of work, always 2-3 hours late btw.
    2
  1356. They are like $50k now which is crazy.
    2
  1357. That’s just gross
    2
  1358. North Carolina. Yeah it’s two extremes but it’s really great to show what’s possible. I’d take the Poor4x at those prices 😁 thanks for watching and subscribe if you don’t mind. Cheers
    2
  1359. I like Jeeps for what they are. $40k and below go anywhere cool vehicle. $60-$70k, come on
    2
  1360. The hardbody’s were lower, functional, and didn’t have a terrible fake chrome finish. It doesn’t look good in person.
    2
  1361. That’s a nice area but ungodly expensive. Hope Jeep keeps feeding him customers!
    2
  1362. I’m going to up it to the acoustic glass that you have. Heard that solves a lot of issues. Glad you’re happy with the truck my friend, and thanks for watching.
    2
  1363. The dealer websites usually have them somewhere on the right hand side of the page.
    2
  1364. I’ll test out the plywood for you and post a video on it. I’m got my Ranger for truck duties but love having the 4Runner. If you do a lot of camping, I’d go for it!
    2
  1365. That’s who I love talking to. You’d be shocked at the amount of issues Honda and Toyota have. GM mechanics honestly seem to have the least from the ones I know. Definitely didn’t expect that when I started this channel.
    2
  1366. I appreciate it my friend. That means a lot.
    2
  1367. They will pay them 1/2 rate for warranty work. Don’t expect a great result.
    2
  1368. That’s a solid vehicle!
    2
  1369. The best mate!
    2
  1370. I used to spend a lot of time in Lynchburg, my daughter lived out there. This dealership is actually in Chesapeake, VA. Thanks for watching.
    2
  1371. That would be $57,000 today. There’s been a 29.3% increase in inflation since then.
    2
  1372. You can get some “deals” on half-ton trucks but that’s relative considering they gone up by 50% since 2020. I’d honestly look at GMC and Ram, I’ve seen the deepest discounts on those two. Jeep Gladiators too if that’s your thing.
    2
  1373. Greed, cafe laws, desires for tech, carelessness
    2
  1374. Those few years of the Tacoma weren’t 100% trouble free, but they’re better off than many others
    2
  1375. I love that color. You’ll get a mountain of hate for this but who cares. I love Challengers, Ram Trucks, and lower end Jeeps. Buying the final edition of a special vehicle is not the worst move financially. I bought the 2024 Camaro for many of the same reasons.
    2
  1376. Love the older pro-4x
    2
  1377. Yeah, that dude I’m not really a fan
    2
  1378. I waited for a total of 110 days. Ordered in Sep and got it in jan.
    2
  1379. They are utter shitboxes long-term. Glad you got something that won’t bankrupt down the road!
    2
  1380. I found them to be about the same from a garbage daily standpoint.
    2
  1381. Of course! They’ve never done their laundry in ammo cans after getting shot at all day. I’d like to think that may shift their wimpy mindset a bit🤣
    2
  1382. I’d hate for people to sit around and hold out hope that they will get 50-60% off of MSRP. Dealers will bring them to auction and trade amongst themselves before extending anything like that to consumers. It sucks but that’s business.
    2
  1383. It’s not great to drive tbh
    2
  1384. I’ve considered buying one for a couple years now. I love those trucks!
    2
  1385. It’s definitely cool. For the same money though, you can get some amazing cars. Camaro SS, Mustang GT, Challenger Scatpack, Audi S3, used M340i, Supra and more. Type R will be more sought after than most cars imo. End up like the Integra Type R, or S200.
    2
  1386. Missed opportunity
    2
  1387. I’m actually into some alt coins and metals. Have been for a long while. Good advice mate!
    2
  1388. Doesn’t seem so, let’s hope we’re wrong
    2
  1389. Nothing was left on the dash at all. It’s just crappy material.
    2
  1390. Yep
    2
  1391. I agree my friend
    2
  1392. Got the Ranger now for $55k. Of course you won’t find one for that.
    2
  1393. Yes it is, at least $10k off
    2
  1394. $4k off a $100k shitbox is quite the score!
    2
  1395. Yeah I just read about that. Not a surprise
    2
  1396. Yes they are
    2
  1397. I agree, they need to bring the price down.
    2
  1398. We own a 2023 CRV Hybrid. There’s things I don’t like about it but overall, solid suv.
    2
  1399. 2014 GT500 is one of the best cars ever made!
    2
  1400. Yeah it’s a good package. I just really like the look of the lariat in hot pepper red.
    2
  1401. Yep, that’s ridiculous. I got 5% from GM but I also got $4,500 off msrp on my Camaro. Frontier will give you less problems than the new Tacoma. Titan is even better imo.
    2
  1402. I personally don’t like Voodoo Blue. I owned an Inferno and it was great. I don’t like Cav blue either. Lunar Rock looks great in the 4Runner. Quicksand blows. Both Limes I could take or leave. Stormtrooper white beats almost all of these colors!!
    2
  1403. Vehicle weight mate. Burns through rubber big time.
    2
  1404. Solid deal!
    2
  1405. You get used to it, sucks but overall comfort and practicality is more important than fuel economy
    2
  1406. I’m Aboriginal from Oklahoma. Take after my super white dad looks wise 🤣
    2
  1407. 100% spot on.
    2
  1408. I owned a 2016 BMW 328i 6MT for 100k miles without a single issue. Amazing car and I got it cheap.
    2
  1409. I love it!!
    2
  1410. Get some quotes on Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Fiat 500. Honda and Subaru have the lowest insurance costs by miles. It’s why I chose a CR-V Hybrid for my wife. Insurance on our 4Runner was double the price. It’s crooked and because of Honda’s lobbying. Subaru has contracts to build attack helicopters for USA, Chinese and Japanese governments. Much different than the rainbow dog image they portray. Lobbying and marketing works very very well.
    2
  1411. Haha knew that was coming… All good CQA, make your money bud😊
    2
  1412. They need to hire better marketing teams. There’s always a customer for cars.
    2
  1413. I appreciate the kind words my friend. Share it with your friends and family so they can see how ridiculous this is.
    2
  1414. I think they have something planned for 2026 possibly 2027
    2
  1415. They are up next actually. Not a fan overall.
    2
  1416. You're lucky, most of them have had issues right out of the box.
    2
  1417. Yep, they are all becoming like this
    2
  1418. Yeah they are steep!
    2
  1419. I have DMV & dealership registration data compiled that shows the purchase price. I buy and sell cars on the side. I’m not making any of this up. Are there cheaper options for it, sure, that’s not what sells. People are buying the more loaded up versions of this.
    2
  1420. It’s what sells 🤷🏻‍♂️
    2
  1421. 2020-2023 manufacturers had the pandemic build quality too. It’s best to reach far back if you can.
    2
  1422. It’s a solid buy. A lot of people just don’t like Nissan though.
    2
  1423. Dig the new music mate!
    2
  1424. I honestly like Mustangs a lot. Hopefully this grows on me but it was a weak effort by their design team. The price is out of control.
    2
  1425. Yes, tell that to the rest of the car YouTubers who are putting that nonsense out there for clicks
    2
  1426. Great quote!

  1427. Yep, another crappy British practice that we took and figured out a way to make it even more scummy.
    2
  1428. The value play is really the Impreza hatch and the Crosstrek. Subaru base trims aren’t a very good place to be
    2
  1429. I think it will be standard on the next generation.
    2
  1430. 100% agree
    2
  1431. My daughter’s mom ran the finance division at a large BMW auto group. The vast majority of their customers are what would be considered rich.
    2
  1432. You could probably rent your place out to another Air Force Officer. I don't think there is any vehicle coming out that is so exciting that it's worth buying for content. I buy and sell a lot of cars and don't film probably 75% of them🤷‍♂
    2
  1433. I do and sure I can put one out mate!
    2
  1434. So I own the full spectrum. I have sedans I have a pick up with a 6 foot bed. I have a pick up with a almost 5 foot bed and I have an SUV. The short bed pick up is still more usable than my SUV but I do find myself having to break out the Ranger to do any real work Because it’s got the 6 foot bed
    2
  1435. Bail outs in bound in their minds
    2
  1436. Good points my friend
    2
  1437. Same here! It’s an awesome color.
    2
  1438. Yeah those are sweet. They won’t do it unfortunately.
    2
  1439. Nice! I’m working a deal on one right now
    2
  1440. It’s ridiculous
    2
  1441. That’s true my friend. Like is said in the vid, they really should have just refined the V6 and kept it as an option. They’d probably can the 4cyl after seeing what sells. Kind of kicking myself for not getting a 23
    2
  1442. They sure didn’t, they barely raised wages over the last 20 years for automotive manufacturing workers.
    1
  1443. They were still $54k in 2021, it’s ridiculous now!
    1
  1444. The issue is that the lenders will freely give out 120% of vehicle values for a longer term loan. In the absence of some major contraction similar to 2008, people will dive in head first to the bottomless pool of vehicle debt.
    1
  1445. Got plenty of life left in it. Make sure you get your suspension inspected. Balls joints, sway bar links, lower control arms. Plus your rear axle seals.
    1
  1446. Plenty of people do man!
    1
  1447. 16mpg is really weak. Be better as an EV.
    1
  1448. 💯 right
    1
  1449. The RAV4 actually blows. Nissan Rogue is even better.
    1
  1450. Go talk to the finance manager at a large dealership and ask how broke people aren’t. The prices of everything is sky high and wages haven’t grown for crap. They’ve seen their loan qualifications drop by 50% in some cases because of debt to income ratios. My brother in-law owns a repo business. He can’t keep up with demand, there are endless defaults like he’s never seen in 30 years. People are definitely broke.
    1
  1451. Sounds like a beauty
    1
  1452. Thanks! It’s an expensive lesson to learn.
    1
  1453. I get 22.9mpg in my 6.2L V8 Camaro with 455hp driving like I stole it 90% of the time. Honda engineers can do better with the engine and transmission, they are choosing not to.
    1
  1454. Can’t post links in here anymore but I’ll put it in the description. They are on track to sell 140,000 this year. They sold 71k as of 01 July.
    1
  1455. Of course not, they’d make $200 on that deal. For every 1 of you, there’s 200 non-cash buyers and they know that.
    1
  1456. The road noise is worse on the new one.
    1
  1457. Thanks my friend. I’ll keep pumping them out for folks like you!
    1
  1458. What part of the country are you in? I can help you out.
    1
  1459. I consider it a truck. A few things I’d like to see improved are more ground clearance, better audio, best seats on sport model, deeper bed, hybrid power train option that got 30+mpg.
    1
  1460. There is unfortunately
    1
  1461. Yep, they are down like 25% already and it’ll only get worse as they start pumping out Chinese junk like the rest
    1
  1462. Way better option!
    1
  1463.  @roaddawg831  same here
    1
  1464. You going to try and order one?
    1
  1465. Yep it’s ridiculous
    1
  1466. They’ve gotten away with living a lie for sure. I like their vehicles but not their engines. I’ve owned 4 of them over the years.
    1
  1467. Many agree with you
    1
  1468. Yeah that salary is ridiculous
    1
  1469. They are piling up here in Virginia. 20+ on lots.
    1
  1470. That’s fn ridiculous haha who would pay that??
    1
  1471. Yeah, it's insane!
    1
  1472. Yep it’s gross
    1
  1473. NOICE!! Love that truck and white looks awesome.
    1
  1474. Yep, it’s gross
    1
  1475. Yes they did
    1
  1476. They’ll be falling apart for sure
    1
  1477. They don’t have the capital to withstand the losses. Race to the bottom has proven to be a terrible idea time and time again. Campaigns against their competitors will help. Nissan Titan is the most reliable full-size truck, yet they never ran with that. Xterra was cancelled for zero reason right at the explosion of off-roaders. No hybrids when you saw your competitors crushing it.
    1
  1478. My Ranger has been great. Had old Fox body mustang, escort gt, and 87 T-bird, and were all great vehicles. My parents buy new fords and they are turds.
    1
  1479. I do my own work but have to stop at a certain extent. I refuse to pull engines or anything like that. An Alfa Romeo mechanic will be insanely expensive.
    1
  1480. Exactly! They are outdated in many ways as well. That doesn’t bother me but most people care about having the latest tech.
    1
  1481. Word! Hopefully it stays that way but it’s not in most areas unfortunately.
    1
  1482. I buy all my vehicles cash. I don’t keep them for all that long in most cases.
    1
  1483. I sold ours because of moving far away from the city. We were spending Lambo money because of fuel economy.
    1
  1484. Yep, I say that all the time
    1
  1485. Smart move!
    1
  1486. Yep, they're trying to get every last penny. They lost me on that one for sure.
    1
  1487. I’ll get the breakdown but I nearly certain you’re getting less with the performance pack. I had a loaner ecoboost for 2 months and actually enjoyed using it as a commuter. I’ve owned like 5-6 Civics, great cars but not as fun to drive overall.
    1
  1488. Yeah the values will dump big time
    1
  1489. That’s straight from DMV data my friend. I’ve seen hardly any tbh. I live in a metro of 2 million people. Should’ve seen loads of them. Lots are full of them. $66k convertible GT’s, hard pass!
    1
  1490. Yeah it’s ridiculous. Plenty of deals out there.
    1
  1491. Watch my review of the new one. You’re right about that.
    1
  1492. Yep, insane
    1
  1493. Hope not
    1
  1494. Let’s just say I was free for about 12 total years. Gave zero F’s and never had an issue. If I did, it still would have been way less than my premiums combined. Try getting some work done at the dentist and see what’s actually covered, same things for veterinary, or extended warranty. It’s endless loopholes.
    1
  1495. That’s actually at a different plant bud. Pacifica is still being produced at the same rate. The Warren, MI plant would cut in half. It’s awful regardless.
    1
  1496. Most SUV aren’t rated for towing period. It’s silly but our regular cars used to be able to tow but sometime in the 90’s that went away.
    1
  1497. Great job on this review mate!
    1
  1498. A subscriber ask for them because in their country the CC doesn’t work. Also, the audio was crappy in certain parts.
    1
  1499. I’ve got a Atlas blue Tremor on it’s way now. Should be here next week. Debating things myself, keep the hybrid or go for the Tremor.
    1
  1500. If you’re going track it, I’d go 1LE. If you’re just wanting to rip around, SS is more than enough. I’d try to find one with Magnetic ride.
    1
  1501. It’s what the people wanted says Jeep🤣
    1
  1502. You can get them for far less than that nowadays.
    1
  1503. 350-400 would be solid but real world range is a lot less.
    1
  1504. 110 days from when I ordered it. I made a video breaking down everything the other day.
    1
  1505. https://youtu.be/Vd2vp6GjESI
    1
  1506. Yeah that’s was pathetic
    1
  1507. I’m accounting for future discounts to a degree.
    1
  1508. We shall see how it plays out.
    1
  1509. Awesome! Glad you’re loving it
    1
  1510. Good combo. Tools for jobs as they say. I have a Ranger, Camaro SS, and CR-V Hybrid.
    1
  1511. I need to take a trip to China for like a month to drive some of those vehicles.
    1
  1512. It’s the best minivan on the market. Pacifica has more bells and whistles but will have more headaches in the future.
    1
  1513. Yep, it was worse than I expected.
    1
  1514. Thanks, definitely is
    1
  1515. I bet, it’s an awesome car. I’m really lucky to have found one.
    1
  1516. Things 1 dealer in Louisiana who’s always lying about their prices. The YouTube clickbait army has used them to justify their BS. It’s like referencing the National Inquirer for a dissertation ha
    1
  1517. Yeah it’s gross. They told me they’ll take it off if I buy it ha
    1
  1518. I bought an old Ranger 2.3l 5mt, reg cab, crank windows, am/fm radio. Smile each time I’m driving it
    1
  1519. That’s what I’ll probably do if they can’t get it straight. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1520. I love it! Incredibly fortunate that I found it.
    1
  1521. Camaro is a much better car. 650hp from a cam upgrade. Try that with the 5.0, it’ll be blown into bits.
    1
  1522. Well put
    1
  1523. We’ll see. I saw it at the auto show in DC. Sat in it, interior was cheap and crappy just like the Tacoma. Backseat room shrunk, uneven load floor. Not a lot to love about it.
    1
  1524. Pretty lame they keep dissing you with these launches. I’d go buy Land Rover or Bronco and walk from the brand if they don’t show you any love.
    1
  1525. Chesapeake, VA
    1
  1526. Two different worlds of trucks mate. You’ll probably want to keep the Ram unless you’re hard up for gas money.
    1
  1527. Haha yeah it’s not the prettiest
    1
  1528. Yep, it’s a better truck as well.
    1
  1529. That’s criminal
    1
  1530. Lexus quality is top notch my man! I’ve always liked those CT200h, probably should have bought a used one of those instead!
    1
  1531. Doesn’t look great
    1
  1532. Nice
    1
  1533. It’s a figure of speech bud. 20% discount is pretty substantial.
    1
  1534. You also got out of the sales tax. I have a loophole where I can do the same. I register all my vehicles in WA state where my home of record is. Great truck and worth every penny!
    1
  1535. They raised prices in Virginia on new construction. All are being sold and the sites are packed with buyers.
    1
  1536. I’m a new YouTuber and just bought the Maverick Hybrid for long term testing. I have the Tremor on the way. I got the XLT, glad to see the comparison you two did. Great stuff folks!
    1
  1537. $36k for Silverado WT, $38k Ram Classic, $34k GMC Sierra Pro
    1
  1538. Yep, they are great
    1
  1539. I’ll look for it, thanks.
    1
  1540.  @CarlAyers-x8h  smart move
    1
  1541. I am going to start looking at pre-pandemic vehicles. You’re spot on!
    1
  1542. $135,000 is a bargain apparently 🤣
    1
  1543. Of course, it’s the seasoning for the deal
    1
  1544. Welcome to the club!
    1
  1545. Thanks mate
    1
  1546. Yeah the TRD Off-road I test drove was total shyte when it came to ride quality.
    1
  1547. Yes, true
    1
  1548. Yeah they know me there, always happens
    1
  1549. That’s insane. You have every right to be upset.
    1
  1550. I live in a warm climate on the coast so my 2wd Ranger is perfect. Paid $2,500 for it. Sold my 2022 Tacoma because my Ranger made it obsolete. Same thing with my Ford Maverick. Basic pickups are great!
    1
  1551. I honestly may just do that!
    1
  1552. This car has faded away already. Not really a has been, more of a never was.
    1
  1553. I really love my 2025 Model 3.
    1
  1554. Yep, I think I will. I’d imagine a bit more attention to detail is paid with the Tremors
    1
  1555. That’s a lot better than getting some overpriced cheaply built nonsense. I’ve always liked the Forester
    1
  1556. It’ll look great in red.
    1
  1557. Colors have gone downhill
    1
  1558. That’s really crappy. I don’t blame you for walking. What did you ended up getting instead?
    1
  1559. Seems like it for some reason
    1
  1560. Can I come on your channel sometime? Do like a panel talking about the market. Good stuff!
    1
  1561. I wouldn’t count on it but you never know. It’s not being well received but neither was the 5th gen at first.
    1
  1562. I’d consider a Tacoma if you’re getting the EB. Possibly the Ranger but the resale will be far better with the Tacoma.
    1
  1563. Right on
    1
  1564. I’m loving it
    1
  1565. Gladly, which one would you choose?
    1
  1566. Tacomas are awesome!
    1
  1567. That’s great and plenty will. I’ve gotten thousands of comments of the opposite and maybe like 100 of positive reviews on it.
    1
  1568. The cheapest one I could get from the dealership and their partner in the area was the SE AWD trim for around $29k. It’s on its way and I’ll be making another video on that trim. The SEL premium is too expensive for what you’re getting imo. Maverick lariat w/Lux package is $6k cheaper and has a more premium feel mostly because of the seats and acoustic glass. The audio system was much better as well. I do prefer the ride and power train in the Santa Cruz though.
    1
  1569. The Land Cruisers aren’t selling. It’s not a very good vehicle.
    1
  1570. I love the 4Runner, I’ve owned 3. Only thing I didn’t like about the limited was the seat just wouldn’t fit me right. The ventilation wasn’t great either. I would have bought if that wasn’t the case. I’m sure the new 4Runner will suffer the same fate here.
    1
  1571. Yeah it’s Blueprint. Probably my favorite color of all time
    1
  1572. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching
    1
  1573. You have to pay for it after 30 days. It’s at a minimum $15 usd per month
    1
  1574. Great insight my friend. I appreciate you watching and I’ll definitely bring this information up next week at Ford.
    1
  1575. Ehh they will screw customers regardless of who’s in charge
    1
  1576. The brakes are frustrating for sure.
    1
  1577. Yes it is! That kind of money for a truck is ridiculous.
    1
  1578. Yea she’s hilarious
    1
  1579. Just stay in the cab with me🤷🏻‍♂️
    1
  1580. Secret connections mate!
    1
  1581. I appreciate it mate!
    1
  1582. Like I said in the video “reassurance” from big brother. Why let the people win when the house can?
    1
  1583. I own a 2004 Ranger XL 5MT and love it. You did an incredible job restoring that truck, and I’m certain your grandmother is very proud of you.
    1
  1584. Subaru is a solid choice mate
    1
  1585. I’ll try to fix it
    1
  1586. Thanks
    1
  1587. Many of them still are!
    1
  1588. Yep, I do think they could have done a bit of an upgrade to gear ratios in the transmission to improve fuel economy. Would have had a far better result than the current system.
    1
  1589. Totally agree
    1
  1590. Yes it does
    1
  1591. I paid $1,000 over MSRP on my wife’s 2022 4Runner SR5 (not my trim preference) but the dealership gave me $2,000 more than Carvana, Vroom, or Carmax on her lame 2021 Acura RDX. So really, I ended up being $1,000 under. Also, they were 5mins from my house and had it on the lot. All good bro!
    1
  1592. Do you honestly believe they’ll release the true figures when it’s not in their favor to do so?
    1
  1593. Awesome man!! It’s a great truck, I’ve considered it many times. Take it off-road and let me know how much fun you have😁
    1
  1594. I spent more on my Camaro and that was tough to do. It’s a great car and last produced ever. Only reason why I pulled the trigger. I still got $5,000 off msrp. Not great but not bad either.
    1
  1595. Same here. I’ve replaced most of the suspension and a couple of other things but it’s a great truck snd worth putting in a little work to keep.
    1
  1596. That’s a valid concern, I’m sure they will say they’ve done a “thorough inspection” and you’re getting a perfect car.
    1
  1597. Awesome truck
    1
  1598. That’s the problem that I have. Now they’ve wasted a ton of time and resources from all angles. Tesla likely wouldn’t have built these if the orders weren’t there. I know their net worth is staggering but this is still very irresponsible of the buyer.
    1
  1599. Good points
    1
  1600. Haha nope, they’d never let me work for them.
    1
  1601. Thanks for sharing your experience man. Ford super duties are excellent trucks. You’re also right about the auto loan issue. Between that and insurance, sometimes it is better to just buy something new and basic.
    1
  1602. Many find that to be the case. Go work at shipyards of you like hard work but for good pay.
    1
  1603. Yeah man it looks great. Thanks for watching and please subscribe 👍🏼
    1
  1604. Yes and look at the price for that low end version.
    1
  1605. You’ll be very happy with it I’m sure
    1
  1606. Good advice
    1
  1607. Hahah nope
    1
  1608. That’s a nice truck!
    1
  1609. I guess people need to have their Red Bull on the rocks nowadays
    1
  1610. Went to multiple new construction sites. Most lots are sold, incentives gone, prices raised. Sucks but demand is still outpacing supply by a lot.
    1
  1611. You’re right about that. I hope you land a great job soon!
    1
  1612. Yeah what’s up? I appreciate that mate!
    1
  1613. I prefer the Golf R and GTI over this.
    1
  1614. I have a feeling they will
    1
  1615. I’d say that would be fair.
    1
  1616. Thanks my friend!
    1
  1617. The costs are actually substantial. Jeep had to completely retool their assembly plant to produce the Gladiator. It doesn’t have as much shared with the Wrangler as one would expect.
    1
  1618. Tacktik 8 holes
    1
  1619. All good reasons
    1
  1620. White, just got it yesterday
    1
  1621. Had a 2009 1500 Laramie, great truck except in fuel economy.
    1
  1622.  @awepossum1059  the initial startup is always loud. Just has a loud snap to it regardless of mode. Stealth is a bit better. Much quieter once it’s started. So coming and going into your neighborhood will be much quieter.
    1
  1623. Yep, we’ve had one close down before giving any deals. They literally sold their dealership instead taking care of customers.
    1
  1624. GX460 are great SUV’s
    1
  1625.  @theczar6171  they make the king can with a 6ft bed, that’s about the best you’ll get. American full-size trucks all offer regular cab in their work trucks. Probably best to go that route. I agree there should be more reg cab pickups.
    1
  1626. I’ll review one of those soon
    1
  1627. Yep
    1
  1628. 100%
    1
  1629. You know it
    1
  1630. Yep, pretty lame overall.
    1
  1631. I’ve found some discounted $4,000 instead of $15,000 markup. Ridiculous
    1
  1632. Everything I talked about in the video is factual.
    1
  1633. That’s fn ridiculous. Australia has terrible car prices from what I remember. Haven’t been there in over 20 years though.
    1
  1634. Glad to help mate. Subscribe if you don’t mind and share with your friends.
    1
  1635. The lariat is like $54k but the only trim I’d consider. I’ll wait and get it for $30k in a year 🤣
    1
  1636. They’ve got 20% off of msrp in some cases. Most likely under invoice
    1
  1637. Thanks, I’ll be making an update.
    1
  1638. It’s not looking good for them so far
    1
  1639.  @borri68  definitely
    1
  1640.  @josephduncan4356  when it has co-Pilot 360, it’s a massive improvement. I don’t like the steel wheels of infotainment but I’ve fixed both in the aftermarket. Still way less than going XLT plus co-Pilot 360.
    1
  1641. Yep, gotta love the government and lazy people.
    1
  1642. I bought them for my business.
    1
  1643. That’s a sweet setup. I’ve got a regular cab ranger long bed and love it.
    1
  1644.  @5UBV3T  yeah it’s a little ridiculous tbh
    1
  1645. Nice!!
    1
  1646. Yep, junk
    1
  1647. Easier to work with 😁
    1
  1648. Spot on, it would have crushed it!
    1
  1649. I’d like a crew cab long bed with a manual 🤘🏼 Do all the family hauling, work when needed, plus have a trans that’s not going to need much. Far more control of your vehicle as well. Good ole days
    1
  1650. Millions upon millions unfortunately 😑
    1
  1651. It’s essentially the only thing to measure a Mustang against that’s remotely close.
    1
  1652. SAME! I had a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick and loved it,
    1
  1653. I’d be right there to buy it ha
    1
  1654. Totally agree! I don’t think I could kill mine off if I tried .
    1
  1655. Yep, a couple times.
    1
  1656. The ride is definitely better than my Tacoma.
    1
  1657. Happy you’re loving your vehicle friend.
    1
  1658. Thanks for watching
    1
  1659. I was referring to the air filters
    1
  1660. Owned a 2009 1500 Laramie and never had a problem for over 5 years of owning it a
    1
  1661. Yep, pretty sweet
    1
  1662. They sure don’t look like it.
    1
  1663. My night wash video was at a different place. I went to this place because it was part of a fundraiser for the SPCA.
    1
  1664. Haha it does
    1
  1665. The range isn’t great and they’d be like $70,000 USD
    1
  1666. Really solid vehicle!
    1
  1667. I sold it recently. Building a house and the commute is going to increase by about 300%
    1
  1668. 90% of Carmax’s vehicles are sold at auction. Fun fact they don’t speak of. If things on their lots aren’t selling, it’s not going to crush them. I worked with them plenty and know this for a fact.
    1
  1669. Nah, the upgrades I’m doing are going to be all mechanical. Probably do a new rear end, drive shaft, suspension etc..
    1
  1670. You all deserve a buyers market for sure. Gotten screwed for even longer than USA. You’ve got much better consumer protections there but scummy dealers will figure out a way around them.
    1
  1671. The demand for manual transmission pickups has nearly disappeared unfortunately. I own one and they are great but most don’t like them.
    1
  1672. Yeah it’s dumb, I’ve heard the battery life is terrible.
    1
  1673. Yep, it’s a mess
    1
  1674. I’ve owned many as well and not a bad experience with the brand
    1
  1675. Nah man, it’s insane that manufacturers have no choice but to force dealers to take trucks they don’t want. At a certain point, they don’t pick what they get. This dealership sells mostly Rogues and Versas, oddly a lot of maximums too.
    1
  1676. Perhaps, most of the other manufacturers don’t sell very many king cabs or single cabs outside of fleet sales.
    1
  1677. Chesapeake va
    1
  1678. I agree
    1
  1679. Yeah I’m definitely pumped about the Tremor. I’ll be shooting a comparison video of the Ranger tomorrow. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
    1
  1680. You could still get it for 2024. It was an unwise move but pressure from a left-wing government is real.
    1
  1681.  @yardboy3955  yeah it’s not a wise move
    1
  1682. That’s great!
    1
  1683. They can spendy trucks but you’re going to love it for a very long time without issues.
    1
  1684. No surprise there
    1
  1685. Thanks mate!
    1
  1686. Yes, they are mostly built in Japan. Have some assembly plants in Thailand, and Brazil too.
    1
  1687. Send me an e-mail revnationauto@gmail.com
    1
  1688. That’s insane
    1
  1689. Probably not, quality is going in the toilet all over.
    1
  1690. Thanks for the feedback. I’m trying to migrate over to the new gear, I have so many cars that I often forget it in one so I default to my phone. Thanks for watching, please share the video and subscribe if you don’t mind.
    1
  1691. First one was a lemon unfortunately. Worked a lot with ford corporate and the plant to fix the issues. I didn’t document all of that because it was all phone calls, and I didn’t want to record people and all of that .
    1
  1692. Yep, I made another video about that.
    1
  1693. Haha thanks, never heard that one before. I do get a lot of actor references for whatever reason🤷🏻‍♂️
    1
  1694. There’s no crash crash bro. Can you admit you were just flat out wrong??
    1
  1695. That’s what they all hope for
    1
  1696. People can say whatever they want about JD Power being bought and sold by OEM’s. The fact is that people still follow what they recommend heavily and brands leverage that.
    1
  1697. Killer deal for that time. Still today too tbh
    1
  1698. Yeah, Mazda is way behind the curve when it comes to hybrid technologies. They’re a small company by comparison and just don’t have the spending power of everyone else. I actually own a Mazda six and I’m getting about 39 miles per gallon on the highway. The RAV4 looks absolutely ridiculous. The drive train and power train are extremely unrefined although they are reliable and efficient. The Honda CRV literally does absolutely everything better than anyone else in the segment and I have been in and out of every possible option.
    1
  1699. It’s a cool car, there’s no deals on them unfortunately.
    1
  1700. Thanks James, subscribe for more great stuff ahead!
    1
  1701. It’s a great car. Yes, it could use like 50 more hp & tq.
    1
  1702. It’s a great pickup
    1
  1703. Unfortunately that’s true. It’s been happening.
    1
  1704. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    1
  1705. Love FJ’s
    1
  1706. It’s way better
    1
  1707. I agree, hopefully prices will come down soon.
    1
  1708. It’s a great idea but the product quality needs improving.
    1
  1709. Nope, Toyota produced so few of them that they are 99% pre-order and basically none going to lots. Hope it changes
    1
  1710. They are doing their best to flush themselves down the toilet. Maybe Stellantis can buy them as well, the future would be bright 😂
    1
  1711. Hahahah yep, glad we served for that $500 off $100k of debt
    1
  1712. I bought a 2009 Laramie loaded in 2009 for $27,500 out the door.
    1
  1713. Yeah it really transforms the truck much more than in the Ranger or F-series. I’ll be pretty stoked
    1
  1714. Yeah it’s insane man
    1
  1715. Many people don’t. It gets a lot more love in Canada
    1
  1716. Hopefully not
    1
  1717. Has those crappy fix a flat kits but they only get you 50miles. Should get you to a tire shop at least. Spare would be nice but batteries take up too much space.
    1
  1718. Only time will tell but I hear you.
    1
  1719. An actually nice Ford is $25-30k more than a Frontier.
    1
  1720. Great review! The shop setup you have is awesome!
    1
  1721. Glad you liked it!
    1
  1722. Thanks, I have quite a few fans from Russia. I would love to visit there one day and do some car reviews.
    1
  1723. So how many cars do you have now in total? I have 5 but 2 are driven by other family members. Is there a certain number to where you feel a ridiculous? I feel like I’m getting close haha 2024 Camaro 1SS 6mt 2023 CR-V Hybrid 2016 Mazda6 2011 Camry 2004 Ranger
    1
  1724. They are down quite a bit in the last couple of quarters. I had a 2016 that I nearly had to declare a lemon, but my 2021 was perfectly fine. I sold it for a $4k profit during the crazy times.
    1
  1725. That’s stupid and gross
    1
  1726. I own a Ranger (the good one) and much prefer the Tacoma over the current Ranger. I do not love the suspension on the Limited or TRD Sport trims. The rest are fine. You should go drive the Frontier and tell me what you think.
    1
  1727. Yeah, it’s really slow. I really like the clutch and gearbox, but they have the ratios all whacked.
    1
  1728.  @milfordcivic6755  it still going strong. I had a long discussion about it with the lead master tech at the dealership, he’s in charge of fixing the issues. There’s some waivers considered but they don’t go through and could void warranty care in the future for those customers who purchase one.
    1
  1729. Hahaha yeah I can see that
    1
  1730. It’s all a racket
    1
  1731. I love this generation’s style as well. I’ve owned a 2016 TRD Sport and a 2021 TRD Off-road. Got great prices on both.
    1
  1732. Best setup for sure! We’re lucky to have them. Thanks for watching
    1
  1733. Probably so
    1
  1734. That’ll get old
    1
  1735. They’re all criminals mate, including the ponytail liberal who’s siphoning money from students burying them in debt. Their parents too. It’s a Ponzi scheme, and the greatest show on earth.
    1
  1736. Thanks, I’ll be sure to rub that in to my wife🤣
    1
  1737. Factory orders my friend. Prices are coming down some but just ordering one is still your best option.
    1
  1738. Just get a used minivan for your wife and kids and a used Tacoma for yourself.
    1
  1739. That’s a great spec Silverado mate! Fully agree with you!!
    1
  1740. A lot of people feel that way.
    1
  1741. You can't get any Chevy's or GMC's unless its a crappy trim around my area NC/VA. Tons of 2023 Tacomas Frontiers, and Ridgeline's.
    1
  1742. Nope, that’s the “premium” too. My base 2016 Mazda 6 has dual zone climate control. I paid $15k for it.
    1
  1743. Banister Nissan in Chesapeake, VA
    1
  1744. Which color? This and Black are my two favorites.
    1
  1745. Gross
    1
  1746. That was the backlog of fleet sales.
    1
  1747. The Buick is nice
    1
  1748. That’s a heck of a return. Ontario or BC ?
    1
  1749. That’s absolutely disgusting and I’m very sorry you’re having to deal with that. I’ve been a major thorn in their side and I’ll be add this to my discussions with them. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more Ford dealings
    1
  1750. I’ve heard some things about it but not versed enough to speak to it.
    1
  1751. That’s easily negotiated nowadays. That’s when you offer $6,000 under msrp.
    1
  1752. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    1
  1753. Thanks, I’m loving it!
    1
  1754.  @scottlowell493  dude, those basic TRD Off-roads done exist, which sucks for buyers. Good for the Trail Boss but also kinda sucks for those trying to get discounts on a trail boss
    1
  1755. That’s amazing, you got a great truck. Does your have smart key detection for the doors or do you have to hit the unlock button?
    1
  1756.  @PeterMainwald  yep, many buyers will go elsewhere because of it
    1
  1757. Have you ever made a non-doom and gloom video? 99% of the stuff you’ve been touting for clicks hasn’t happened. I’m also deep in the industry and know what’s actually going on. I’m happy you’ve been successful on YT but remember, you’re influencing people to make decisions that may not be in their best interest. Cheers mate!
    1
  1758. 23 Tacoma is a really solid truck.
    1
  1759. Yeah the bed could use some work
    1
  1760. It’s not the same audience shopping those cars man. I don’t disagree with you but both of those cars are $10k more and not too common. M240i has a bit of a hairdresser vibe as well.
    1
  1761. they should but they won't unfortunately. Tesla is the only one to do that.
    1
  1762. Sounds like you’ll eventually buy one. Might want to wait a couple more years for quality control issues to get sorted.
    1
  1763. Competition isn’t a bad thing.
    1
  1764. Yep, they’ll sit forever.
    1
  1765. Offer less
    1
  1766. It’s a really great motor. They could done more for efficiency with the truck but oh well. Happy you’re loving it!!
    1
  1767. Their numbers show that for sure
    1
  1768. Same here
    1
  1769. I miss my Tacoma as well but didn’t use it for what it was built.
    1
  1770. Yeah it’s pretty common amongst all brands nowadays. I’ll be going back and filming much more often now. They can go f themselves, censorship doesn’t sell cars.
    1
  1771. Clearly they are priced way too high
    1
  1772. Yeah that was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful.
    1
  1773. They have markups on anything that’s actually in demand
    1
  1774. Robbery on the daily for sure
    1
  1775. Yeah man when you bought that blue Tundra, I was like Oooh noooo 😂all good bud. Life is too short, enjoy it !
    1
  1776. Many share this same thought. The one saving grace for Chevy is that it’s actually a very large displacement 4-cylinder engine that doesn’t need a lot of forced induction to produce adequate power for the size & weight of the vehicle. This power plant in a 1500 truck, no deal!
    1
  1777. I agree!!
    1
  1778. Haha thanks. I tell my wife how lucky she is all the time 😉
    1
  1779. Yep, it’s gross
    1
  1780. Thanks man
    1
  1781. Why didn’t they just give you a 30day tag while you took care of the registration? I would’ve just taken your old plates and put it on the truck while they sorted that out.
    1
  1782. Yep, it’s disgusting
    1
  1783. Literally every other truck in the segment is more reliable than the new Tacoma.
    1
  1784. Yep, there’s a suck born every minute so they think.
    1
  1785. Jeep brought this on themselves
    1
  1786. Haha you tell me mate!
    1
  1787.  @mototechsam3051  yep, its gross man
    1
  1788. Frontier sales are down over 40% nation wide
    1
  1789. It’s gross for sure
    1
  1790. Yeah those were garbage
    1
  1791. Yep, trd or base used to be a great value. I’ve own two of them.
    1
  1792. Love those 3rd gens. Owned 3 of them.
    1
  1793. Hopefully not but you’re probably right
    1
  1794. That’s a lot of horsepower you’ve owned. Did lose a of if money when you sold them?
    1
  1795. Yep, they are sweet
    1
  1796. That would be awesome if they had the EB with a manual but won’t be happening. I’m sure some people will mod it with one.
    1
  1797. It’s a tough job for sure. Bad Management is what always hurts those folks.
    1
  1798. Same here mate!
    1
  1799. Yeah it’s ridiculous they charge $2,000 for it. I’ll discuss that nonsense in my next Tesla video. I appreciate you watching mate!
    1
  1800. I took advantage of that!
    1
  1801. I don’t even know what you’re referring to.
    1
  1802. Have to shop around for different markets. Sales are way down over this last quarter.
    1
  1803. Yep
    1
  1804. It’s not when you’re behind the wheel. Not super high out put like the Ranger Raptor but it’s a larger displacement engine that’s not going to be under massive strain all the time. Those typically fair better long term.
    1
  1805. That was a ripoff in 2016, let alone today’s prices
    1
  1806. I’ll check it out
    1
  1807. A lot of people do. After having a TRD off-road, sr5 wheels are a downgrade for me.
    1
  1808. It’s all tied together to a degree. Someone a bit different happening with Tesla.
    1
  1809. Apparently they did upgrade the 360 camera. We will see when it comes out
    1
  1810. Yeah they totally ripped off the design for Chevy. I took offense to it as a Camaro owner hahaha
    1
  1811. I do too. I might buy one to Turo with tourists wanting to drive on the beach.
    1
  1812.  @JCT442  same here, it’s a great setup. I like it more than the previous gen Tacoma
    1
  1813. There’s huge evidence that the resale is dropping far more than before. Test it out for yourself and get a Carvana offer, then watch the revisions go down and down. My trade-in offers on my Tacoma and 4Runner dropped immensely.
    1
  1814. Haha yeah man, I have slowed speech from a horrific accident during a deployment in the sandbox.
    1
  1815. Be nice if they had that option. I love my manual 2wd Ranger XL.
    1
  1816. Yeah they don’t give a crap. First time it snowed in 7 years.
    1
  1817. I think it’s at a faster pace than most people realize.
    1
  1818. It’ll be interesting to see how it holds up over time
    1
  1819. I don’t think they will.
    1
  1820. Unfortunately no vents in the rear, ford didn’t put them in the new Ranger. Same with the Frontier and new Tacoma. I’ve voiced my displeasure to the engineers on this. We shall see if they listen.
    1
  1821. Slightly over but still less that what the 2024 would cost. I’m going to make a video about it.
    1
  1822. The quadrafolios have retained their value a bit better but not as good as a M3 or RS5. I’d love to get a low mile one for $40k
    1
  1823. Yeah it’s a mess
    1
  1824.  @cs1992  it was $28k the first year
    1
  1825. Indeed my friend
    1
  1826. Congratulations on a great buy my friend. I’ve owned 4 Mavericks and will probably get another one.
    1
  1827. Yep, same in Brazil too.
    1
  1828. I’d still go for it. You’ll be happy with that trim.
    1
  1829. He’s right
    1
  1830. Yeah it’s fn sweet. I’d get that motor flashed for max output. Gmc feels a lot quicker
    1
  1831. What color do you have?
    1
  1832. Very true! I get hundreds of comments of people who are now buying Frontiers.
    1
  1833. They’re out there but rare. Check fleet auctions in your area.
    1
  1834. I like the 70's interior but that thing seems pretty gutless. My Camaro would eat the LC alive. Ehhh
    1
  1835. I haven’t driven one of those yet, I’ll check it out
    1
  1836. Yes they are! Lucky to have a great one.
    1
  1837. Of course, that’s the best way to boost up any ride 😂
    1
  1838. $10k off msrp would be a solid deal. You can find one if you’re willing to travel.
    1
  1839. That’s a solid discount! I’d ask for another $2,000 off on top. You’ll likely get $7,500 off. Also if the doc fee is more than $400, refuse to pay it.
    1
  1840. Yep, $51k plus 5k worth of BS
    1
  1841. Yep, bad combo!
    1
  1842. It is for sure
    1
  1843. Yep, it sucks for sure
    1
  1844. Hahah that would be pretty cool
    1
  1845. Thanks, me too
    1
  1846. Most people don’t, look at Ranger sales numbers, total joke. These too!
    1
  1847. I wish I could answer that. The take rate is low for nearly every car except Porsche 911 and BMW M2. It’s dumb.
    1
  1848. Yeah it’s totally gross
    1
  1849. How do the ventilated seat work? The current ones on the limited are worthless.
    1
  1850. Agreed 👍🏼
    1
  1851. I love the Challenger as well. No surprise that you had issues with the GC.
    1
  1852.  @mabelpup8502  ehh I thought the same thing with Cadillac like 20 years ago. Still here.
    1
  1853. The Colorado was my top pick for 2023. They do need to get their electrical bugs fixed with the battery and ecu
    1
  1854. Many manufacturers have made the same mistake.
    1
  1855. It’s a special taste for sure
    1
  1856. Yep, it’s gross
    1
  1857. They should not have ordered them to begin with. Waste all around.
    1
  1858. Armada, Titan, Frontier, and Versa are all really solid vehicles. I do love the older ones though. Owned 2 Frontiers and an Xterra Pro-4x.
    1
  1859. Twin Cities since 1996 represent. Nothing could have prepared me more for a successful career in military than the Folks. People talk mad shit but don’t realize any of the positive aspects of families like this.
    1
  1860. Aegean Blue, great color!
    1
  1861. I used to
    1
  1862. Yeah I got lucky with my Hybrid for sure. How are you liking the truck?
    1
  1863. I’m a satellite engineer and don’t make that much ha. Congrats my friend!
    1
  1864. It’s a lot of cash for sure
    1
  1865. I dig it
    1
  1866. Definitely will impact the car market.
    1
  1867. Yep, but they have to be dirtbags or the natural order is off in the world haha
    1
  1868. Hahaha I sure hope not, so far so good
    1
  1869. Thanks, really pumped about it!
    1
  1870. I dropped $2,500 on a 2004 Ranger that could drive off a cliff and keep going. I get 28mpg hwy and have 5sp manual.
    1
  1871. I appreciate you sharing this with us.
    1
  1872. I actually like Nissan products and there’s a couple decent dealerships but they are pretty wild with prices.
    1
  1873. The fuel economy in the new GMC is pretty crappy too. The powertrain is leaps and bounds better. You want want to tough it out and wait for the 24 Tacoma.
    1
  1874.  @GinoFoto  definitely, it’s a great car. I bought 1 of only 49 of the final Camaro SS with a manual produced. The Giulia was high on my list though. I’m a 3 pedal snob though and know it was always be on my brain.
    1
  1875. At least you can say you made a very informed decision. Happy you’re loving it. Thanks for watching
    1
  1876. Cool trucks but not for these prices
    1
  1877. Yeah some stupid copyright stuff
    1
  1878. Probably
    1
  1879. The profit margins are too small.
    1
  1880. It’s not as bad as the Tacoma but yes, it’s gone downhill.
    1
  1881. Probably not, I’ll take another look tomorrow when I’m over there.
    1
  1882. Of the last 5 Nissan dealerships I’ve been to, 4 were doing this nonsense.
    1
  1883. Mine is 4wd. Did you end up getting 2wd?
    1
  1884. This one had the update to wear you can use Apple CarPlay. I assumed it had android auto but it does not. I used the CarPlay and it worked wirelessly.
    1
  1885. Great information here!
    1
  1886. Yes, that’s utter nonsense. Life was not that different in 2007 compared to today, they shouldn’t mandate features like that.
    1
  1887. Thanks my friend, I was lucky to find it!
    1
  1888. I’ve lived in Europe and the Middle East and seen them work for the government’s pockets, not the citizens.
    1
  1889. It’s ridiculous for sure
    1
  1890. That’s amazing and you’re right about not being able to replace it. Low mileage Rangers like that pull some good money but I’d never let it go.
    1
  1891. You’ve got the Maverick and fleet spec 2wd Colorado
    1
  1892. Previous owner tore up the vinyl on the seats badly. They are still great though, easy to clean and very comfortable. Much much better than cloth.
    1
  1893. This is spun to the left so hard that it’s not journalism. These allegations are a bunch of shitbirds trying to get free money. Literally nothing happened to these pansies.
    1
  1894. Thanks, already have some stuff on order. I’ll make plenty of more videos
    1
  1895. Those are garbage now too mate!
    1
  1896. Sounds expensive for 828 sqft. What city?
    1
  1897. Wait until you see the final purchase agreement, then do that math.
    1
  1898. Hi how are you?
    1
  1899. Yeah it’s gross
    1
  1900. I’m hoping this will be it. What other truck are you looking at?
    1
  1901.  @callesierra  yep
    1
  1902. They don’t make any mats that fit it
    1
  1903. Thanks brother!
    1
  1904. They are asking $130k for Raptor R
    1
  1905. That engine is a pile.
    1
  1906. If you go to any dealer, you’ll be able to get a ton of money off of those they’re not selling very well
    1
  1907. They think they’ll get another bailout I’m sure
    1
  1908. What improvements would you recommend? GMC Canyon is my favorite body style followed by the Frontier
    1
  1909.  @N111X  you caught me checking comments. I agree, you can probably find a slightly used one for a good discount. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1910. A lot of SUVs won’t fit one either, especially now with 70” screens being the norm.
    1
  1911. Yeah there’s morons still doing it now. Yep, $100k easy right out of school, oh hey here’s my buddy the tool guy, get some real stuff at 20% interest.
    1
  1912. Great trucks for sure. I’d like to snag one of the older ones as an off-roader. My Xterra was a beast.
    1
  1913. Yeah this one is near perfect setup for a daily. I’m probably going to change the suspension back to stock because it’ll bottom out over really bad roads, really annoying. I have the stock springs, just a massive pain in the rear.
    1
  1914. The Irish government has pimped themselves out to Silicon Valley and it’s made life there ridiculously expensive. I worked in Dublin 2019 until the pandemic started. I have family in Shannon & Dublin. Cars are more expensive there, I know. What does that have to do with the USA market? The average American is making under $50,000 USD, being taxed at 30% or more, paying $500-$1,000/m for healthcare coverage with massive deductibles, $200/m for car insurance, childcare $3,000/m. My kid has to get two fillings at the dentist, my co-pay is $1,158. There is pain all over my friend.
    1
  1915. Yep, and that’s another $1,500 easy
    1
  1916. They are getting a lot better but standard trans is still preferred
    1
  1917. I’m doing some investigating with those as well. It’s doubtful since the rich are getting richer.
    1
  1918. Nice! Parts are pretty cheap and not too hard to work on. Love the truck!
    1
  1919. Bet that is fn sick man, I’d love to see it!
    1
  1920. Yep
    1
  1921. Hahah smart move mate!
    1
  1922. People weren’t buying them unfortunately
    1
  1923. Hampton Roads is still at all time highs. My home has increased $100k since 2023. $10k price cuts doesn’t constitute any sort of crash. Buildings paying closing costs and offering a nice shower. Wow slow down folks, it’s a crash of our lifetime according to this genius.
    1
  1924. That sucks, what did you buy after?
    1
  1925. Thanks for comments my friend. I’ve always loved the Armada and Patrol when I was overseas. They honestly perform much better than Toyota in this category. The expedition has its downsides for sure but getting 23mpg on road trips is fantastic. How quick these are is really crazy as well. At these high dollar marks, you really need to love it to pull the trigger. Thanks for watching!
    1
  1926. I’ve got video coming about nonsense like that
    1
  1927. Pretty much, it’s ridiculous
    1
  1928. It’s actually like $6,500. $900 doc fee, $375 admin fee at that dealership too.
    1
  1929. It’s best to shop around, you proved that
    1
  1930. Yeah they are awesome. Thanks
    1
  1931. Offer $28,000 and accept $30,000
    1
  1932. It’s an impressive machine. I might be a little too old and cranky for something like it though ha
    1
  1933. Same here
    1
  1934. They are insane.
    1
  1935. They are fn great
    1
  1936. Yep total crap
    1
  1937. Travis, I’m in the same boat except I’m living in my rental. I found a good deal (not great) but it was $589k and I got it for $445k. Ryan homes new build. $12k in closing assistance. It’s not great but I have to move on. I’m prepared to take a massive equity loss but my family’s happiness is worth it.
    1
  1938. I’m 1/8th Cherokee proven by both genealogy, and DNA test perform by Harvard University (I’d assume they’re credible). Born in Oklahoma and everything. I still get shit on for even talking about it because I’m 7/8th white. This woman probably did a lot of great things to help indigenous peoples in Canada. She’s clearly not entirely white either. I’m sure the people who “ousted” her were all white people who just care about whatever flavor of the day minority cause they can hijack. All douchebags!!
    1
  1939.  @davidr6865  I’ll check those out!
    1
  1940. I could see a 4-door mustang at some point if they don’t scrap it entirely.
    1
  1941. Everything bruh!! Toyota called me for advice before they built it😎 I’m kind of a big deal 🤙🏼
    1
  1942. Yeah the price is too high like usual with them
    1
  1943. Yep, our CR-V has been excellent minus a couple cosmetic things. 38mpg and the same cargo space as most 3-row SUV’s.
    1
  1944. Yep, but it’s a heck of a send off. There’s almost nothing they could do to make it better.
    1
  1945. https://youtu.be/MxOflI80xDs Acura review
    1
  1946.  @realestatemindset  Yes prices rising is what’s unfolding. Mine is up 122% and hasn’t dropped a penny since 2013. Completely screwed myself sitting on the sidelines. Our place is too small and has no yard. Wife is insanely pissed but I drank you all’s koolaide and didn’t buy. Thanks bruh🫡
    1
  1947. All brand new vehicles are now mate!
    1
  1948. Dude, you know you’re buying it as soon as you can🤣
    1
  1949. The infotainment is acceptable but not great. I don’t pay attention to it really regardless.
    1
  1950. All non-cvt transmission have a better reliability record.
    1
  1951. I wish Virginia was having this problem. Pretty much the total opposite.
    1
  1952. Nice! I love the expedition
    1
  1953. I’m a retired USCG officer. I’ve combated piracy all over the globe. Nearly two years in the Arabian gulf. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard are scumbag pirates sanctioned by the government. You don’t want to stoop to their level.
    1
  1954. Wow, that’s terrible man.
    1
  1955. Tacoma is a great truck. I’ve owned 3 of them
    1
  1956. We’ve had two major dealerships close and 3 others sold to other auto groups.
    1
  1957. That’s crappy about rails. They are really good to have
    1
  1958. The fed will punk out and pivot on rates. Economic collapse is bad for elections.
    1
  1959. We shall see
    1
  1960. Completely agree Johnny. I actually like the Bronco but it has a lot of things going against it right now. It’s got plenty of staying power but Ford needs to help the customers out a bit more with incentives. Hope all is well my friend. Anyone reading the comments, please watch Johnnys Car Care channel for the best Ford & car buying content on YouTube!!
    1
  1961. Looks like a nice ride. Buick gets tons of flack but it’s honestly a decent brand overall.
    1
  1962.  @ReventureConsulting  that sucks man. I lost a ton last year and quit trading.
    1
  1963. Time will tell
    1
  1964. Yep
    1
  1965. The last cool "fast" SUV was the GMC Cyclone.
    1
  1966. That truck was loaded up but still $10k too much imo.
    1
  1967. Thanks for watching mate! Will do!!
    1
  1968. I’m not saying that no dealers are running discounts. High volume dealers do typically get some extra kickbacks from the OEM’s, why wouldn’t they take care of their cash cows? That is far different than what’s being spewed out all over YouTube. Dealers have the right in most cases to discount to their heart’s desire. OEM’s officially cutting their MSRP is a whole other animal. I hope you enjoy your new Grand Cherokee, I’ve always liked them!
    1
  1969. I probably will, we shall see. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1970. A lot of junk yard parts have gone a$$ crazy as well unfortunately. I hear you on that route but still may be a bad time for it.
    1
  1971. There made in Mexico. Not really a step up.
    1
  1972. That’s the Tariffs for you. Everyone wants their cut.
    1
  1973. Hope you can get your hands on one
    1
  1974. They haven’t been reliable. It’s unfortunate for people who thought it was a safe bet.
    1
  1975. Yep, they’ll be able to write their own ticket.
    1
  1976. Heck yeah man. My very first video was about my 2021 Corolla and how important that car would become. I was at a Ford dealership and the GM came out and bought it from me for $5k more than I paid.
    1
  1977. It’s been there for like 2 weeks already. Long bed is the only benefit of this setup.
    1
  1978. Yeah the only problem I have with those is the clutch is a really bad for daily use and engine seems lacking
    1
  1979. The plastic wasn’t on where you’re actually sitting. The seats weren’t bad though. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1980. Excellent choice!
    1
  1981. That’s what people think but it’s the polar opposite. Dave Ramsey and a couple of others think they’re trend setters but they’re not. Rich people drive expensive cars 95% of the time. I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years.
    1
  1982.  @chefjosesoto  I hear that. In my 2019 it was too barebones for me. Smart key and push button start, adaptive cruise, lane detection, apple car play came standard in our 22 sr5. It’s ok, but coming from a BMW, I totally see your point. Good thing is that you’ll easily be able to offload it if you choose to.
    1
  1983. I’ve owned 3 of those. One was a lemon but the other two were rock solid. Sold them for profit after a couple of years each.
    1
  1984. Nah that’s too much work 🤣
    1
  1985. Mine had a lot of problems. Glad you’re loving yours though. Thanks for watching!
    1
  1986. Yep, pretty lame of them
    1
  1987. Started already
    1
  1988. When Germany falls, the rest go down. They’ve propped the EU up since its inception.
    1
  1989. That’s lame, should be $35k
    1
  1990. Yep, way better vehicle
    1
  1991. Not a fan of the stripes or any graphics to be honest with you.
    1
  1992. I can see what you mean.
    1
  1993. It’s the crappy we’re in on certain vehicles, Civics being one of them. Anything economical is in high demand for sure. You didn’t do too bad. Thanks for subscribing!!
    1
  1994. Virginia Beach, VA is where I got it.
    1
  1995. I ended up doing pretty well on it, but I get what you’re saying
    1
  1996. Yeah that thing was total garbage. Solid engine though and a massive missed opportunity.
    1
  1997. Thanks man, I try to keep it concise!
    1
  1998. It sounds like you’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry over the years. I’ve been in it for 25 years and met plenty of great folks like yourself trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately, you’re outnumbered but greedy dirtbags and it’s pretty much ruined the industry.
    1
  1999. I’ve got a video coming that you’ll like mate. I gotten to know Tesla a bit better than most.
    1
  2000. Would love to see that gem!
    1
  2001. In general so other OEM’s are trying to make up lost ground with EVs. Toyota, they hardly have any EV footprint.
    1
  2002. yeah she's super funny. thanks for watching
    1
  2003. That’ll become a better option moving forward
    1
  2004. You should drive a Camaro if you like the CTS-V. It’s a better car if you don’t absolutely need a 4door vehicle.
    1
  2005. Bet those are sweet rides
    1
  2006. I feel the same way. I like the 2019+ but it’s not the same. There’s something special about these small pickups and it’ll never be replicated.
    1
  2007. I can speak Portuguese and live in southern USA. Reverse of this.
    1
  2008. The ECT pwr button helps with that and there’s a bunch of tunes you can get for like $250-$400 to fix the transmission. The lack of immediate power is what I least enjoyed. My 2022 4Runner’s power train is much more sorted out.
    1
  2009. The Camaro rocks! I own a 2024 SS
    1
  2010. Awesome, except no one cares about any of this crap. My property value is at all time highs and hasn’t dropped a penny since 2014. This is the crash that never came.
    1
  2011. Sounds like a solid buy
    1
  2012. Yeah I really like what they did with the redesign. Thanks for watching. Hope to come out of the shadows one day!!
    1
  2013. I lived on Oahu for 7 years. You’re not wrong. I owned a 2014 and 2016 Tacoma while living there. I paid under MSRP for both and got a $2,000 trade in tax credit. Buy in Pearl City or Kaneohe.
    1
  2014. Go up to Oregon, Gresham and Bend
    1
  2015. They do for sure
    1
  2016. You are the person I’m calling these SOB’s out for! Hang in there my friend!
    1
  2017. They shouldn’t have ordered one in the first place.
    1
  2018. They're killing the affordable car market. Thanks for checking back into the channel. I’ll keep calling these SOB’s out!
    1
  2019. Are you in Canada?
    1
  2020. Yeah they’re bad about it
    1
  2021. You should have price protection. Contact Ford customer service and ensure your dealership did a COVP (customer order verification program) and if they did their job, your 2023 should carry over. If not, Ford is unfortunately not going to bail them out. That’s when you need to negotiate some extras with them for not doing your COVP. Perhaps a free bed liner, oil changes, etc.. Also, check all your memberships to see if they have discounts. Military, first responder, Costco, AARP, SAM’s club, Verizon. I’ll make some videos about this stuff. They won’t openly advertise these things. I’ve bought 3 mavericks for well under msrp because of my associations and good dealership.
    1
  2022. Agreed my friend!
    1
  2023. Those look nice
    1
  2024. It was the factory windshield that they used that didn’t fit the body panel. The body didn’t need to be repaired, the windshield did in order to fit the body. It was a dual f up by Ford. They tried to fix it with the original windshield and it didn’t work. I wasn’t wrong about the windshield.
    1
  2025. Of course, thanks for watching and share with your friends. I’ve made tons of videos since this one
    1
  2026. Yeah I’m planning to buff that off. I have been using Goo Gone but it sucks. I’ll try your suggestions.
    1
  2027. They should have made a legit Acura Integra Type R 2-door with a naturally aspirated Vtec that can rev to 9,000rpm. That would sell better than the Type S. Could price it at like $40k even.
    1
  2028. They've lost their minds.
    1
  2029. Thanks, it really is!
    1
  2030. I’m happy you’re enjoying it. The 16in bed depth is a dealbreaker for me. I haul tons of recyclables and trash in my pickup and need more sidewall. That’s why I prefer the older models design, although the bed was too short.
    1
  2031. Yeah it’s a great rig
    1
  2032. Hah why is that?
    1
  2033. That’s awesome!
    1
  2034. I use a Bluetooth radio adapter and play Spotify or YouTube music from my phone. There’s thousand of them on Amazon and Ali express
    1
  2035. Probably will
    1
  2036. Yep
    1
  2037. It’s a downgrade in every way.
    1
  2038. Yep, huge miss in my book
    1
  2039. I’m 5’8” so not tall by any means but also not super short.
    1
  2040.  @Thingswithwheels1  it’ll be tight in the back for you but definitely comfortable while you’re driving. I wouldn’t make the decision on the back seat alone. Great pickup overall. I’ve owned 4 of them.
    1
  2041. Would you all choose this over the Ford Maverick?
    1
  2042. Glad you liked it!
    1
  2043. I’d keep it
    1
  2044. That would be incredibly annoying to have to deal with all of those limitations.
    1
  2045. You know they didn’t ha
    1
  2046. F-150 is always a solid choice with endless configurations. Shop and low-ball hard on those, they are a dime a dozen and I've seen dealers with several hundred on the lot.
    1
  2047. Soon I’m sure
    1
  2048. The one on my Tacoma is fine but haven’t filled with gravel or anything that would put it to the real test.
    1
  2049. Great points
    1
  2050. Thanks for watching mate!
    1
  2051. It’s beyond me
    1
  2052. You can get a decent GX in the 50’s
    1
  2053. Upgrade for sure
    1
  2054. Phone issue, it’s a left drive truck.
    1
  2055. The one who tried to snipe me from the lot.
    1
  2056. I like the Ridgeline but not for any type of off-road functions.
    1
  2057. Yeah I’m going to hang on to it for sure. They will never make them like it again.
    1
  2058. They're nuts
    1
  2059. That’s awesome man
    1
  2060. I appreciate you watching my friend!
    1
  2061. I respect their business and left without issue.
    1
  2062. That’s actually a fun car. Alfa Tonale is too, but victim of its own name.
    1
  2063. No surprise there mate. The whole brand is like that.
    1
  2064. Thanks, please subscribe if you don’t mind. Helps a lot!!
    1
  2065. I’ve had two dealerships close just in one of my shooting areas. One Stellantis and one Mazda. The owners literally sold off everything and screwed their employees instead of making good deals for customers.
    1
  2066. How many cars do you two have?
    1
  2067. it's amazing
    1
  2068. Camaro is the only other sports car with as good if not better value.
    1
  2069. That was my thought as well ha
    1
  2070. Definitely will, just not very wise to start out in your 40’s doing work like that.
    1
  2071. In NC having “leather” seats that aren’t ventilated is not fun. Cloth is a better option but it means you can’t get a lot of other nice features like a power liftgate.
    1
  2072. That’d be nice
    1
  2073. It is one of the rare cases where that’s totally true! Thanks for watching and subscribe for more content my friend!
    1
  2074. You should see what they have to do to fix it, completely insane.
    1
  2075. Well said
    1
  2076. Same here
    1
  2077. Just get a Camaro SS. It’s a far better car overall.
    1
  2078. Depends on the tow package you get. If you get the flash tuned engine you can tow up to 7,700lbs. Without the tune it’s around 7,000. The dealerships can do the tune for a couple hundred dollars.
    1
  2079. Brandon, do you know any decent auctions up around Elizabeth City? I’m getting my NC license here soon.
    1
  2080. Looks the best and is most capable off road.
    1
  2081. Glad you got a good deal.
    1
  2082. Yep, way better
    1
  2083. I hope you end up enjoying the truck. I’ll have to check that as well. Let me know what they end up doing.
    1
  2084. I may just do that
    1
  2085. That’s awesome! The first generation is my favorite as well.
    1
  2086. It is a bit low. A lot of aftermarket support to help with that
    1
  2087. The material quality went down imo. I do agree with the seat position being improved. The sport spring rate and rebound were not good. My kid was being rattled nonstop while sitting in the back. The fuel economy improvement was disappointing. I’ve owned 3 of the previous generation Tacomas, and my observed mpg were the same. I’m not a fan boy, I’ve owned virtually every brand of truck. I am leaning more towards GM at this point. Most of my viewers are going for the Frontier. I don’t hate this truck, but the price tag is not worth what you get.
    1
  2088. Yep, more people need to realize the value of simplicity. Happy you’re loving the car!
    1
  2089. Hahah yep, commercials know all
    1
  2090. Nissan Titan would be my pick.
    1
  2091. Yeah any problems I’ve had have been small ones as well. It’s a great pickup, and you’ve got the best version of it. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks for watching.
    1
  2092. The key they use is not good.
    1
  2093. You ain’t lying my friend. They have not the truck demographic as their customer base. Now Nissan has dumped their trucks on all the franchises because the movers, ain’t movin no more. Great pickups though.
    1
  2094. AMG 53 are cool cars mate. Hope you enjoy the new ride!!
    1
  2095. They shut down and another whole sale company is moving in to sell used cars. They aren’t moving locations, they are shutting down. Big difference mate.
    1
  2096. Yep, it’s crap
    1
  2097. Same here, hope you love the 4Runner like we did.
    1
  2098. Tens of thousands did. Hype train
    1
  2099. Yep
    1
  2100. What are you going to buy instead?
    1
  2101. 100% my friend, lowest of the low. Housing is a scam as well but you at least get a roof. Insurance is pure theft for nothing.
    1
  2102. The quality has never been able to come close to the Germans at all
    1
  2103. Not too sure but I agree
    1
  2104. It’s a lot of money for sure. Will be a good used by in a couple years.
    1
  2105. Yeah those are pretty sweet
    1
  2106. Appreciate you watching!
    1
  2107. Been buying and selling cars for 25 years. I’m a senior development & production engineer during my day job. I don’t nerd out in my videos because it’s lame and I hear it all day. There’s plenty of research done behind this bud.
    1
  2108. Australia prices are out of control. Government run amuck!
    1
  2109. The Honda dealers on the east coast are awful. I used to live in California and always had good experiences with dealers there tbh.
    1
  2110. Good looking truck. I would have offered a lot less though.
    1
  2111. That’s pretty quick!
    1
  2112. Are you seeing prices going up at auction?
    1
  2113. Thanks for checking out my channel!!
    1
  2114. Feel free to share it with friends and family😁
    1
  2115. Don’t blame you at all. Main gripe with Ridgeline is the shallow bed. The ride height could be better as well.
    1
  2116. Could be
    1
  2117. I have a 24 1SS with a manual. Amazing car
    1
  2118. I’ve been working my rear off since 1994. I make above 6 figures but that’s only in the past few years. I joined the military in 2001 and retired in 2023. Received 9 promotions during that period. I’ve built a solid audience but I don’t ask anything of them financially. I don’t do paid ads, or sell anything. I’m sure I could but it’s not really inline with the purpose of my channel. I agree that’s it’s wild what it takes these days to live in the USA or Canada.
    1
  2119. Thanks for the info! I wouldn’t take these much passed a campground when it comes to off road
    1
  2120. And them reducing loans won’t do anything to bring home prices down unfortunately.
    1
  2121. Toyota dealers are often even worse with the arrogance
    1
  2122. Bro, they will be far worse. Probably $10k or more markup, $995 doc fee, plus 3k of extras. Go down to Hall in E-City. Talked to the GM and they won’t be doing add ons or markups.
    1
  2123. Sales are still up overall. Buyers have not wised up nor stood their ground. Used cars are nearing peak Covid prices. All the “discounts” are pretty much bait and switch tactics. Trade values are in the toilet, used inventory is down, ….dealers still winning 🙄
    1
  2124. Yes they are for sure!!
    1
  2125. That’s a bummer. There’s a ton here in Virginia.
    1
  2126. Yep, definitely will give you less problems. Fuel costs are rough though.
    1
  2127. Yep, they’ve got some great prices on sedans
    1
  2128. I’ve been buying/selling cars for 25 years. I’m also a systems engineer for prototype evaluation and testing for the DOD. I’ve owed 30-35 Toyotas. I’m the furthest thing from ignorant mate!
    1
  2129. Yeah it’s pretty weak
    1
  2130. Honestly, even other manufacturer is leaving a ton of money on the table by not making these types of pickups. Especially because they already have them in other markets. It’s ridiculous. You’ll be happy with the black hybrid, just get the xl trim. It’s the best value and you get cruise control now where the 22 didn’t.
    1
  2131. Yep
    1
  2132. I’ve heard the 3.0L is a bit on the problematic side
    1
  2133. Great truck
    1
  2134. That’s cheap for a trd pro
    1
  2135. The OEMs and dealerships would have done this if Hulk Hogan was president. As soon as the first cough happen, they were off to the races.
    1
  2136. I got a bare bones TRD OR in 2021 for $38k delivered to my house. The new price for equally equipped is $46k before any of the extra BS.
    1
  2137. Someone will probably pay that markup too. $7,500 is a lot of fuel haha. Glad you’re enjoying the truck.
    1
  2138. Nice! Love the Frontier. I don’t need one but if I had the room, there would be one in our lives ha. Enjoy it mate!
    1
  2139. It’s 8-11% in some other states 🤮
    1
  2140. Great points!
    1
  2141. That’s tough to do if you don’t have a shop near you at all times. We often have to travel to get access to trucks. I’ve honestly considered bringing a floor Jack with me and some stands to get under them.
    1
  2142. That’s what they’re thinking
    1
  2143. I drive a 2004 Ranger as my daily
    1
  2144. These were just white and black dudes wanting to half-ass everything. Then get an attitude when called out on it.
    1
  2145. Yep, but those ventilators they have in the limited are garbage. They should seriously outsource it to Volvo or Ford. Those are the two best cooled/ventilated seat I’ve experienced.
    1
  2146. What do you think and what did you pay?
    1
  2147. Yes they are!
    1
  2148. Yeah it’s scary for sure. Share it with anyone you know who has or may buy a Honda or Acura.
    1
  2149. Hopefully you don’t have any issues in the future mate!
    1
  2150. 2022 TRD Pro if you need the Pro. I’d honestly just get a 2022 TRD Off-Road base super white. I have a 21 SW and it’s great!
    1
  2151. Learn about economics and tax codes. Study what’s happened since 2008. You’ll not be happy once you’re done. It’s gross but explains why we’re in this condition where a house is $800k and a dozen eggs is $7 on sale at Walmart.
    1
  2152. Nissan has the tech to make legit off road vehicles. One of the dumbest things they did was get rid of the Xterra right before the off road craze. They could undercut Ford, Jeep, and Toyota by bringing it back and making it affordable. The Pathfinder was ruined as well.
    1
  2153. Yeah it was super lame
    1
  2154. Mazda is probably the best quality for the money at this point.
    1
  2155. Yeah man, I wouldn’t put it passed them. They aren’t exactly organized by any stretch. I’ve honestly thought about going to work there to un-fuck some of their crap.
    1
  2156. I’ve met him before, great guy. That’s the whole reason for his show, it’s because kids aren’t being steered towards any jobs like that.
    1
  2157. They need to
    1
  2158. Yeah, it’s not as crappy as the Tacoma but not worth that price.
    1
  2159. Great brand for sure
    1
  2160. They have gotten better but a 6-9 speed standard transmission would have been a safer route.
    1
  2161. Glad you’re happy with it. Sucks that you couldn’t have waited a bit longer. There was a period where I was finding GM’s for $18-$20k off of msrp. I expect to see that again in a few months. You may be able to get one and sell your Ridgeline to Carvana for more than it’s worth.
    1
  2162. Yeah they aren’t great to work with
    1
  2163. Matt, what microphone are you using?
    1
  2164. That’s a great setup. I’d prefer the premium mostly because of the sunroof. I’d like to test out the third row one of these days to see the functionality. I’m happy you’re loving the truck, and thank you for watching the video.
    1
  2165. Mazda is a great brand
    1
  2166. Glad you’re enjoying your Ridgeline
    1
  2167. Bingo
    1
  2168. It’ll be $68k or some garbage
    1
  2169. Yep, it’s worse in the real world ha
    1
  2170. Wife and I owned a 2021 RDX and it sucked overall. Terrible infotainment, crap fuel economy for the size, the AC was weak and couldn’t cool the cabin, the vents never blow on you to cool you down. The cabin is cramped and our rear window broke at 1500 miles. It drove well and I liked the seats. It’s a good looking SUV but a letdown overall. Feels cheap, I came from BMW and this is not on par with them.
    1
  2171. Yes it’s ridiculous
    1
  2172. I believe it! Lived in Hawaii for many years, gas was often less than California.
    1
  2173. There’s no reason why they couldn’t sell that truck at $34,000. They still move massive numbers but they would really cut into the fleet sales if they would stop being so greedy. The Americans always stomp them when it comes to fleet use..
    1
  2174. Primo cracks mate!!
    1
  2175. Stellantis is even more of a junk brand. I’m an engineer and deal with manufacturers all the time. Reliability is way down in all sectors. Go ask a BMW or Audi technician how much warranty work they’re having to do. It’s gone up sometimes 5-6 fold in 1-2 generations of vehicles.
    1
  2176. Hahah great plan!!
    1
  2177. Yep, not the worst engine of anything but for $60k, come on..
    1
  2178. You can pay $38k for a Tacoma that is a far superior truck in nearly every category. Honestly, the Nissan Frontier probably a better financial decision than spending $55k on a Ridgeline. I don’t hate the truck but for that price, they lost me + 95% of the truck buyers out there. $35-$40k, sure why not but anything beyond that and you’re tossing money into the camp fire. I don’t disagree that the full-size truck market is full of shit products at rocket high prices, but Honda isn’t much different. I’ve owned their products before and they’ve been some of my least reliable vehicles.
    1
  2179. That’s the hope. I still wouldn’t pay anywhere near that price for a 4Runner. I’d rather it come as an EV instead of this powertrain.
    1
  2180. They are counting on it
    1
  2181. That’s awesome! Glad you’re loving it.
    1
  2182. Fully agree. They won’t sell a lot of these limited trims. They blew it overall on the truck. Customers are going to buy Mavericks or F-150’s instead of this.
    1
  2183. That’s how ridiculous it’s gotten.
    1
  2184. $19k
    1
  2185.  @freedom_foz_6337  thanks for seeing the points I was making.
    1
  2186. The GM was standing right there during the whole thing. That’s the culture it appears.
    1
  2187. Nice, Broncos aren’t pulling that kind of money in my area.
    1
  2188. I got it for $500 under msrp. Made a video about it
    1
  2189. https://youtu.be/Vd2vp6GjESI
    1
  2190. Yep, pile of crap
    1
  2191. Oh it gets even better my friend. Stay tuned for my upcoming vids.
    1
  2192. I appreciate it my friend
    1
  2193. Sick truck mate!!
    1
  2194. Ha sounds about right
    1
  2195. I used to work for Visa/Mastercard and they did the same garbage. Traveling sales jobs are rough.
    1
  2196. Yeah sounds like the right fit for you. Glad you’re loving it.
    1
  2197. So does my Camaro.
    1
  2198. https://carfax.app.link/UrLAaIrrkJb Here’s one, overpriced imo but these are being discontinued for sure.
    1
  2199. Thanks
    1
  2200. GTD is dumb for sure
    1
  2201. Yep, people will hopefully wake up and realize Toyota is riding on their old glory days.
    1
  2202. I’ve owned many mid-sized trucks, and Toyota is strong in some regards but definitely overrated. Most think it’s the only option that won’t leave you penniless on the side of the road🙄
    1
  2203. Ford killed those models. No 2door base trims with a manual transmission. I considered buying one to rent to tourists where I live. Maverick prices went up 30% in 2 model years. $19,995 is now $27,250. Cheap vehicles are not what they are producing.
    1
  2204. Yep, total nose dive
    1
  2205. Yeah the XL is great choice
    1
  2206. Yep they are hot garbage
    1
  2207. Wise move but you shouldn’t have had to leave.
    1
  2208. If the woman pays or insists on paying during the first date, she’s not digging you. Restaurants are a bad idea on the first date anyway.
    1
  2209. Car markets are regional in many ways
    1
  2210. I hope you enjoy the truck my friend! Thanks for watching
    1
  2211. Too small for that but it’s plenty big for most people’s needs.
    1
  2212. Other manufacturers coming up with competitors will be a great thing overall.
    1
  2213. Thanks for watching! I’m sure it’ll grow on me, it’s not like there’s a choice anymore.
    1
  2214. You have a gem there my friend
    1
  2215. Did a quick review on this at an auto show. New design looks much better. No rear AC vents is a miss, also not just using the bronco width to give more space. None of the engines have introduced new countermeasures for carbon build up. It most likely will not be a volume seller in North America.
    1
  2216. I’d go Nissan Frontier out of the bunch
    1
  2217. Those are great trucks
    1
  2218. Thanks mate, stay tuned for more Mustang vids. I’ll keep em coming.
    1
  2219. They have on the lot most of the time in my area. Especially limited trims
    1
  2220. Amazing job man! If anyone has truly detailed a car before, they know how hard it is to do. Keep it up!
    1
  2221. That’s a whole lot of money for a vehicle.
    1
  2222. There’s opportunity but it’s a hard road getting there.
    1
  2223. Interior quality is really bad.
    1
  2224. Ouch, that's a tough break.
    1
  2225. I had one for a press car and it broke down. Transmission was wrecked but that’s after a bunch of dbag journalists trashed it for 1.5 years. Fun off-road tbh
    1
  2226. I wish, it’s 4’8”
    1
  2227. Yep
    1
  2228. Thanks bruh
    1
  2229. Dang right
    1
  2230. Used inventory that’s worth a crap is dang near the same price. I can charge more for new vehicles on Turo.
    1
  2231. That good stuff man, you know it!
    1
  2232. Dealers adding $3,000 nitrogen in the tires because they know they can. That’s unfortunate, Frontier used to give discounts and now, that won’t be the case.
    1
  2233. Many people can’t afford repairs as well
    1
  2234. Noted mate!
    1
  2235. That’s a great deal! Tell them to stop with the $3k nitrogen in the tires nonsense. This dealership never used to do stuff like this. Hopefully they change directions.
    1
  2236. Going to do a video breaking it all down here soon.
    1
  2237. A lot of folks like those Tellurides. Glad you’re enjoying it!
    1
  2238. They let greed run the show and it’s backfired
    1
  2239. Yep, but other content creators will make you think dealers are cutting prices, they aren’t.
    1
  2240. Awesome! Glad you're enjoying the new truck.
    1
  2241. That’s fn awesome! They are the best pickup made imo. I’ve driven Chevy, Toyota, Nissan of that area and they can’t compete. Watch some of my other vids, I’ve done a lot to the truck.
    1
  2242. I travel too much to have my own area to service my cars. I’m building a house now and will probably start doing all my own stuff.
    1
  2243.  @joegrahe3958  never done it tbh
    1
  2244.  @bekabeka71  no clue tbh. I don’t need 4x4 for anything with the truck. Plenty of 4x4 Rangers out there but they are the 3.0 and 4.0 V6 that weren’t as reliable.
    1
  2245. Do a 200 mile radius search. I’ve covered nearly the whole country and there are endless GT’s available
    1
  2246.  @jeffsb76  fitting name my friend 😁
    1
  2247. No, just a regular one but the transmission performs amazingly
    1
  2248. I worked with CarEdge on the national data. My area is actually better for Toyota than most places. 4Runners are selling for $3,800 below msrp on a national level. DMV data.
    1
  2249. I own the 2023 Maverick Tremor and XL Hybrid and post a lot of content about it. Check it out sometime. I’ve always enjoyed your channel my friend!
    1
  2250. Yep, snag a 2019-23, they were well sorted by then. 2020 they fixed the seat.
    1
  2251. Hahah I wish and would be buying it
    1
  2252. Haha gotta love it
    1
  2253. Spot on my friend
    1
  2254. Great to hear, enjoy the new ride!
    1
  2255. Yeah but I do love the suspension on the pro-4x, I just need to have a 6ft bed. I’ll keep my 2004 Ranger.
    1
  2256. I like the new front end, the rest I could do without. I test drove one and was disappointed with the interior quality that I didn't post the review I made on it. Looks better in black, it hides some of the design flaws.
    1
  2257. I’m glad you’ve had a better experience than most. I worked as a tech for a combined 6 years. I bought and sold cars for 25. I’ve met plenty of great techs. I’ve rarely seen them compensated well. You highly experienced techs with great tools love flat rate because you can do this stuff in your sleep. People with 10 or less years will rarely be able to keep perform like that. Warranty work has always been a sham for the tech agreed. I repeatedly said there are plenty of opportunities out for those who put in the work. You know it’s an uphill battle but if you’re smart and willing to move around from shop to shop until you find a great setup, you can do very well. If you read the comments here from a couple hundred other techs, you’ll see I’m not talking out of rear. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with us.
    1
  2258. Yep
    1
  2259. Thanks man, I appreciate it.
    1
  2260. True
    1
  2261. Prices have only gone up bro.
    1
  2262. This is in coastal Virginia and coastal North Carolina so about five hours from you. The markets seem to get hit over here first because of the amount of volume that is moved in these regions.
    1
  2263. They are out of their minds
    1
  2264. Many people are in that same boat.
    1
  2265. In the world we live in, it’s just like everything else. Priced out of control
    1
  2266. I’d maybe give them $2,000. It’s toast and will need a near frame off restoration. The interior, electronics, all lines/seals are shot.
    1
  2267. I feel for them. It’s tough out there now and a lot of staff are new people who didn’t scam a bunch of customers in the past.
    1
  2268. The new Passport looks better than the current model. If you’re wanting something off-road worthy you should look used 4Runners and Xterras.
    1
  2269. CarEdge for you all but I have access to DMV data. I check both sources.
    1
  2270. Yeah, they are not great
    1
  2271.  @BrokenSword17  You can buy them nearly half off now
    1
  2272. Yeah, actually meant to correct that on the screen and forgot before I uploaded it. Yeah it doesn’t look very good on the new Ranger to be honest with you. I love that color though.
    1
  2273. Yeah I meant to say after destination
    1
  2274. Dang right!
    1
  2275.  @M2world612  yeah that’s dangerous and will make your garage smell like fuel / exhaust fumes. The neighbors will survive hearing some noise.
    1
  2276.  @M2world612  mine still make comments but it’s definitely better
    1
  2277. Prices aren’t going down for Jackshit. I wish they were but they are NOT. I’m going to just leave the country. It will not get better.
    1
  2278. Yep
    1
  2279. Glad you got a good deal on your Rebel, that’s a cool truck.
    1
  2280. Make a trip up to Virginia and get one for a great price
    1
  2281. Yeah I know, it was where they had it parked. I would have gotten hit by cars. They wouldn’t move it or open it for me. But yeah, wasn’t happy with the angles I had to take.
    1
  2282. I actually love Ram and have owned several.
    1
  2283. I owned a 2020 Ranger. I had a relatively small boat and it was so crappy at towing, it felt like the engine was going to explode at any moment. Turbo would have some much heat soak. Felt like you needed another 100hp. Really disappointing and my wife’s 4Runner did a thousand times better job towing. My 2004 2.3L 5MT can tow 3,500lbs without issue.
    1
  2284. I’ve got quite the growing fleet but I know I’ll kick myself if I let her go. It’s a special machine. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2285. The yellow is nice
    1
  2286. Weird thing with my phone
    1
  2287.  @nintendylan7449  yeah it’s too expensive for what you’re getting.
    1
  2288. They need to shave off a solid 20% at a minimum to normalize the markets for what incomes/rates are. After a certain point, it’s the customer who’s being a greedy A-hole.
    1
  2289. They do the same crap unfortunately.
    1
  2290. I appreciate that, thanks for watching!!
    1
  2291. I loved the look of my old 2016 328i. Downhill since
    1
  2292. Physical key, no rear A/C vents, no sunroof, no smart sensors on door. Ford was completely foolish. $50k well spent 😑
    1
  2293. I wish I still owned one man. This is a close second, but to have what I did and lose it like that was rough. Don’t ever let it go. Unless it’s to me of course haha
    1
  2294. Yep
    1
  2295.  @CMB911  I’d go slightly used and get a loan from a credit union
    1
  2296. Reach out to Toyota Direct in Columbus, Ohio
    1
  2297. They are 19’s and really sweet wheels. I said 20’s in the video
    1
  2298. I didn’t catch it before uploading, my mess up
    1
  2299. That would be on your purchase order. You’ll see up towards the top. Yours is most likely a 19.
    1
  2300. That loaded Bronze package one should be a heck of a lot less.
    1
  2301. You’re not wrong
    1
  2302. It’s a sad state of affairs but it’s a reality.
    1
  2303. I love the Mazda B-series. I own a 2016 Mazda 6 and it’s the longest I’ve ever kept a vehicle.
    1
  2304. Also, what do you need fixed on your Mazda? I can recommend some parts if you like. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2305. Cool that you got to go to the Nurburgring, that’s awesome!
    1
  2306. Yeah I think the XLT high package will be the best bet, like 2 years from now when you can get money off on it.
    1
  2307. Haha spot on
    1
  2308. Yep, better off just getting an old Jeep
    1
  2309. My Camaro 1SS was the same price but is a far superior car in every category. I guess the mustang beats it in pointless screens that will break.
    1
  2310. Glad you’re loving it. I miss my TRD Off-road
    1
  2311. Yeah they’re garbage. It’s honestly a good thing for them to go EV. Less stuff for them to get wrong.
    1
  2312. They are switching to hybrid now. Just made another deal with Toyota
    1
  2313. Yep, total crap my friend
    1
  2314. That car was really gross man 😂
    1
  2315. Dang right man!
    1
  2316. They are
    1
  2317. It’s a great SUV overall!
    1
  2318. Yeah brother! That’s why I bought the truck. Classic pickup interior and exterior color as well. Thanks for watching!!
    1
  2319. That’s also true. 2022-23 they had some strong momentum sales wise. The quality issues stomped them out in 2024. It is time for an update. You’ll see this more and more from manufacturers, models will go for 15 years sometimes without much change. It’s not always a bad thing. Nissan frontier 2005-2021 was a great truck.
    1
  2320. Probably right!
    1
  2321. Ford does it in the Ranger, everything below Lariat, and Maverick as well. I personally don’t like it.
    1
  2322. You can find major discounts on new ones. Search in colder climate markets, get some quotes and then take them to your local place to see if they will match it.
    1
  2323. Thank you
    1
  2324. I’d give them $2,000 for the white one.
    1
  2325. Haha yeah we shall see how it shakes out
    1
  2326. Is this in ghetto with bad schools?
    1
  2327. Yep, it’s lame
    1
  2328.  @brentchristopher7363  zero chance it’ll be that price. Most likely $25k starting if they ever do it at all.
    1
  2329. They will be pushing into the ocean before that happens. Sad but true.
    1
  2330. Yeah I’d take that one for sure but only need the S in reality. New Tacoma stripped down is $6k more
    1
  2331. That's awesome, great to hear you're enjoying it!
    1
  2332. That’s funny, I remember those days
    1
  2333. I did that with an old Ford Ranger. 2.3L 5mt, known to go 400k miles. I’ve spent $4,000 all in. 6ft bed and 28mpg highway with off-road wheels. Can’t beat it!
    1
  2334. Jeep Gladiator & Honda Ridgeline have a V6. If I’d get a Ranger, I’d definitely get the V6. I don’t like that there is no sunroof, power rear sliding window, push button start outside of the lariat trim. Prices are high like every other truck. The styling is SAFE but agreeable with most. The bed is too small.
    1
  2335. Frontier and Titan are near the top of reliability rankings. I’ve never had issues with my 4wd Nissans. The trucks have traditional 9speed automatic transmissions.
    1
  2336. Maverick is a good option
    1
  2337. Yeah man, it’s awesome for sure.
    1
  2338. They should make removable steps for the rockrails and definitely need a grab handle.
    1
  2339. Genesis is hit and miss for me. The resale value is god awful, I’d maybe buy one that’s 4-5 years old to avoid the massive depreciation hit.
    1
  2340. 105 days
    1
  2341. Yeah it’s great
    1
  2342. My CRV gets 38mpg and the Ridgeline is only about 500lbs more. They can get a stronger battery and achieve similar fuel efficiency. They will save weight by the 4cyl to compensate for the battery. I designed ship power plants for a good while. There’s amazing potential for efficiency but comes with much more risk.
    1
  2343. 4415lbs vs 3001lbs it’s only .002hp per pound better. My 2004 was $12,000 brand new. This one is $35,000 and has a foot smaller bed and you can’t get it with a manual. My truck is well known to go beyond 750,000 miles, 0.0% chance this new one will do that. If you add it all up, the previous generation will win every time.
    1
  2344. 2022: 76,185 sold 2023: 46,118 sold as of Dec 15th Source: press representative from Nissan USA Iseecars.com Goodcarbadcar.net I put two other sources that you can see for yourself.
    1
  2345. Stay connected
    1
  2346. I’m afraid you’re right and I think it’s coming faster than anyone foresaw.
    1
  2347. Glad you’re getting what you want. The seating is going to be cramped but manageable. Hope you enjoy the new ride!
    1
  2348. I got one in 2010 for $32k. It’s gross.
    1
  2349. That is awesome my friend! Awesome truck for sure!
    1
  2350. Diesels just don’t do well in the USA, unless it’s a super duty of course. They need to get their prices down with gasoline and they’d take off.
    1
  2351. Frontier would be near the top for me. I went with an old Ford Ranger though, it’s great!
    1
  2352. Ride quality is harsh and floaty, road and wind noise is crazy.
    1
  2353. Owned a 2009 Ram 1500 for 6 years and had zero issues with it
    1
  2354. Jeeps have their problems but yes, it’s a safer buy than the Bronco
    1
  2355. LFA is way overrated
    1
  2356. It’s a known fitment issue with the body and windshield. Most fixes require a replacement windshield by a quality company.
    1
  2357. I’ve been looking at them online to be honest with you
    1
  2358. What’s your fuel economy?
    1
  2359. It’s an amazing car
    1
  2360. That cargo area blows. Looks like it has the same space as our CR-V hybrid but less functional. We get 38mpg combined, this will probably get 22mpg max and will cost $80k…Rad
    1
  2361. yep, that is not how to treat others
    1
  2362. Get it with co-pilot 360 and it’ll be a lot better.
    1
  2363. That interior just blows minds. It’s like a Bentley, but the Salvation Army version 🤣
    1
  2364. Their sales overall have gone down.
    1
  2365.  @warddc  that 10 speed will beat me 9 times out 10. Awesome car man!!
    1
  2366. We definitely don’t get snow where we’re at.
    1
  2367. Definitely does
    1
  2368. Just picked up a new Maverick . You should see the invoice pricing. They don’t make crap on them! Nice chatting with you the other day.
    1
  2369. Yep, outstanding CEO ha ha
    1
  2370. 90% of the comments I get are how people want a basic truck. Manufacturers still make them in some cases but make it impossible to get them outside of fleet sales. Yes, people want the latest tech but in reality most have realized that all they are doing is using apple CarPlay and android auto anyway. You can do that with a $60 stick on screen from amazon.
    1
  2371. I’ve started to rewind the clock and appreciating the older vehicles. I got the XL trim Ranger and the XL Maverick to get away from the crap that’ll break.
    1
  2372. Yeah, there was zero chance of that happening. We all knew that.
    1
  2373. You’re going to love it
    1
  2374. Watch my latest video Honda’s Quality Is Going Downhill: Ridgeline Sales Tank https://youtu.be/cellNMWVhrE
    1
  2375. A lot of unnecessary BS that’s for sure!
    1
  2376. Yeah it’s totally rad😑
    1
  2377. It was so expensive to start that they really haven’t increased all the much compared to other jeeps.
    1
  2378. I hear you on that
    1
  2379. Yes it’s the 2.3L, the best engine by far imo
    1
  2380. The prices are out of control.
    1
  2381. 3% when you were way down before, doesn’t really seem all that huge.
    1
  2382. I got a general studies degree, which was an utter waste of time. I went back for engineering and learned more in a day than that entire BS degree.
    1
  2383. Yep, great truck.
    1
  2384. Yeah, I like it!
    1
  2385. I’ve owned 3 of them and was one of the first in the community. I am an engineer as well.
    1
  2386. Here is a new video about the Ridgeline for you all to see. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel my friends! Honda’s Quality Is Going Downhill: Ridgeline Sales Tank https://youtu.be/cellNMWVhrE
    1
  2387. Great trucks!
    1
  2388. Yeah I’m not surprised my friend.
    1
  2389. Haha true
    1
  2390. 100%
    1
  2391. Yep
    1
  2392. Sounds like a dream!
    1
  2393. Carmax is a pile of crap
    1
  2394. I agree, will be definitively getting new wheels. Probably get similar ones to what I have on the Ranger. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for a lot more Maverick videos.
    1
  2395. They will probably come out with something cheaper in the future.
    1
  2396. Not too sure
    1
  2397. They should be releasing a plug-in hybrid. Mitsubishi already has them and they’ve proven to be great vehicles.
    1
  2398. Still has the same problems. Engine, transmission, suspension failures. Poor build quality on the interior and the ride quality sucks. If you’re looking for a nice modern truck, GMC Canyon is the best one. Frontier is the most reliable.
    1
  2399. There’s no crash in my area unfortunately. Homes are still at all time highs and selling quickly. Super lame!
    1
  2400. Totally agree. It sucks because I want to support commerce and help create jobs, but they aren’t holding up their end.
    1
  2401. Yep, nothing more than that my friend!
    1
  2402. There’s no point. Every car on that lot is off in toon town. They’ll close before waking up I’m sure.
    1
  2403.  @e61r61b61  2004 Ford Ranger 5spd , it’s great!
    1
  2404. Mostly private donations with minimal fed/state/local govs
    1
  2405. Thanks for the sharing your experience. You’ve made some great points. I’m glad you’re enjoying the PRO-X and that’s not a bad price out the door. Decent fuel economy too.
    1
  2406. Yeah that is crappy
    1
  2407. Brandon, I’d like to talk thumbnails with you sometime. Have an email address I can shoot you a message on? Joe
    1
  2408. I've got a feeling they're going to regret this one. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
    1
  2409. You’re not wrong 😑
    1
  2410. Spot on
    1
  2411. I sold mine for $30k paid $750 below msrp. I paid $800 over msrp on my last one but it was an Area 51 and on the lot. Just ordered another one for $500 under msrp.
    1
  2412. Yeah it’s a great pickup
    1
  2413. $47CAD it’s crap
    1
  2414. That’s great man! I like the trucks as well.
    1
  2415. Same here my friend
    1
  2416. The previous gen Tundras are great. I go back and forth on the new one but it’ll probably grow on me a bit more. GM hopefully can redeem themselves for 2023, we shall see. Thanks for watching!!
    1
  2417. It’s sad
    1
  2418. ?
    1
  2419. That’s the way the industry is going. They farm it out to 3rd parties so they don’t have to deal with it.
    1
  2420. Yep. It’s a solid buy, especially the manual transmission version.
    1
  2421. Yeah bro, I love these things
    1
  2422. Haha, I’ve been in the car business for 25 years, broke people buy new cars in alarming rates. When you’re hurting, you’re psychologically geared to want to ease the pain. Treating yourself is a great way to do that, what better way? Getting a brand spanking new car.
    1
  2423. Nothing wrong with saving money for things you enjoy more than cars.
    1
  2424. You’re not wrong
    1
  2425. And the next day gas is back to five dollars a gallon🤣
    1
  2426. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    1
  2427. My 6.2 in my Camaro is fine but it’s a different variant
    1
  2428. Don’t let me talk you out of it, you just need to know what you’re getting into. I’ve had issues with my Tacomas that were similar. The entire automotive market is suffering from shit quality.
    1
  2429. I fought narcos in El Salvador. Place was a hell hole and I’m sure it still is for 90% of its population. The bar in Latin America is so low that anyone can look like a savior 🙄
    1
  2430. Yeah it’s a great setup. I’m definitely excited. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2431. Glad you liked it! I appreciate you watching!
    1
  2432. I would go for a manual Camaro over the m240i. If you care more about luxury finishes, go for the m240i. The Camaro has gearing much more similar to Porsche, so it feels like it has way more top end power. BRZ is pretty low-rent, feels more like a Hyundai with how crappy the material quality is. It’s a fun car but you’ll always want more. That’s how I felt in my BMW’s, I was constantly looking for something more. The best thing you could do is to test drive a V8 Camaro, m240i, m340i xdrive, older M2, Audi S5, Civic Type R. You can find a lot of these cars around. Carmax and Turo are your friend.
    1
  2433. Glad you drove it before buying one. You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t.
    1
  2434. Ghettos aren’t just comprised of black people my friend. Is that term off limits now too? I don’t appreciate race baiting in the comments but you have the right to say what you want, and I’ll always support that.
    1
  2435. That’s garbage man
    1
  2436. That’s a great deal on the F-150, solid truck mate. I prefer smaller pickups but when it comes to the same money or more, I’ll take a full-size every time.
    1
  2437. But you need to make $60 an hr for a 30hr week🤣
    1
  2438. Yeah it’s best in manual. Solid car with that setup.
    1
  2439. Most brands are like this now
    1
  2440. I love the styling of those trucks, I just wish they would’ve used the TRD off-road platform instead of the SR5
    1
  2441. Wasn’t bashing it, praised the multiple times throughout the video.
    1
  2442. People are still dumb enough to pay them. Just like houses right now.
    1
  2443. Yeah it’s missing those for sure. Great tools.
    1
  2444. They will before too long
    1
  2445. Haha I agree.
    1
  2446. Nah man, I’m calling out manufacturers demanding a premium for their subpar products. The same old answer is “well don’t buy it”. 85% of the world is vehicle dependent and it’s not that simple. People are also easily influenced. They show up to a dealership and it’s all over. They’ve been convinced they’re getting the best deal on the best car, and they are SPECIAL.
    1
  2447. In most of them yes. Raptor has a 3.0 V6 turbo.
    1
  2448. Love those vans
    1
  2449. You’re 100% spot on
    1
  2450. Hope you like it
    1
  2451. 100% agree! I’ve owned loads of sports cars and always found myself looking up SRT-4’s for sale. I told my wife that I need two of them now 😂
    1
  2452. It’s not great, maybe used for cheap wouldn’t be so bad.
    1
  2453. Wow, that bad. Doesn’t surprise me.
    1
  2454. They probably move a lot more volume in that case
    1
  2455. Yeah brother, I used to live over there and absolutely loved the Landcrusiers they got!! Thanks for watching!
    1
  2456. Yeah the Corvette is a much better value.
    1
  2457. Thanks man, they are excellent trucks. We’re lucky to own them.
    1
  2458. I’ve said this for years. It would need to go 30mpg or more though. Buyers would go nuts.
    1
  2459. True
    1
  2460. Yep, but the company wouldn’t be around long. Inflated stock price can only do so much.
    1
  2461. Yeah it’s ridiculous
    1
  2462. Ridiculous
    1
  2463.  @janverbanck  place was wide open
    1
  2464. I hate that you all are impacted by their terrible decisions. I’d go over to Kia or Hyundai, their yields are better and they need good people to improve their dealership experience.
    1
  2465. I used to live in the Bay Area and my buddies were telling me the same thing they can finally get deals on Toyotas
    1
  2466. Yep, pretty wild
    1
  2467. Yep, it’s ridiculous
    1
  2468. Jesus man, sorry you’re having all those issues. I’d get a 4Runner if I were you.
    1
  2469. Great truck overall. Nothing is perfect
    1
  2470. I’ve got some videos on that soon.
    1
  2471. They’ve literally raised their prices 60% in less than 5 years.
    1
  2472. It’s just plain arrogance on Toyota and their dealers. It won’t change until buyers have had enough and speak with their wallets.
    1
  2473. Yeah single cab long bed would have been great. They would have gotten a lot more fleet sales too
    1
  2474. Yep, it’s garbage
    1
  2475. Still a crap ton of money. I do like the 2009-2012 the best. I’ve considered getting one many times.
    1
  2476. That’s my top choice for a new mid-size truck. Trail Boss is the best value though.
    1
  2477. Nice setup mate! I’m sure you’re going to love the Tremor when it arrives. Thanks for watching
    1
  2478. The Buick Regal TourX is totally rad!! I’ll get one on the channel just for this comment!
    1
  2479. Sorry you had to learn the expensive way my friend. Hope you enjoy the wrangler.
    1
  2480. That’s awesome. I averaged over 20 on some long roads but overall it’s 19 or worse.
    1
  2481. I had trouble with my 2016 trd sport but no issues with my 2021 TRD OR. I’m going to get another one at some point. Manual transmission fixes a lot of the problems people had with the 3rd gen. I’ve got sweet manual old Ranger which is why I haven’t picked up another Tacoma yet.
    1
  2482. My 2016 Tacoma was in the shop more than any other vehicle I’ve ever owned. First year model. Trans was totally jacked up. Infotainment wouldn’t function most of the time. Front fender would just fall off. Exhaust leaks. The ride quality felt like I was on a pogo stick. Just overall pile of crap. I sold it and got a Nissan Xterra that was solid AF. I had a 2007 Frontier before that and should have just kept it. Ended up buying a 2021 Tacoma and many of the issues were improved but the ride and tranny still sucked.
    1
  2483. Yeah, my channel’s all about honesty and transparency. This industry has gotten away with scummy crap long enough.
    1
  2484. Good points mate!
    1
  2485. Hahah I’ll take it mate!
    1
  2486. Good info bro!
    1
  2487. There will be a point where they’ll have to give 30% off.
    1
  2488. Dang that’s some bad fuel economy but honestly about what the last one got. Glad you’re enjoying the truck. Really like the interior on the higher trims.
    1
  2489. You need to contact your dealership that you ordered from and ensure they place your orders into the customer order verification program. Those orders will be prioritized first when MY24 production begins. You are supposed to receive price protection but Ford will not be issuing manufacturer credits for having to wait a long time anymore. In short, if your dealership did what they supposed to, you should get built first and pay your original price.
    1
  2490. I’m getting one of those too.
    1
  2491. Now the pricing is going to be like $4k more
    1
  2492. Hopefully they start to flood your market since buyers are drying up here.
    1
  2493. Yep, drove the manuals over in the Middle East. Great little car
    1
  2494. Solid buy mate!
    1
  2495. Yeah it’s nice
    1
  2496. Unfortunately that’s the market these days. It’s going down, full size are being hit first. These will drop too.
    1
  2497. They don’t retain their value very well either. My Camaro has gone up in value, while another YouTuber who ran his mouth bought 2024 Mustang GT for way more than I did, he lost $15,000 after 4,000 miles driven🤣
    1
  2498. I take a look and see if I can find what they are talking about. I’m really excited for you, it’s the most versatile color imo. You’re going to love it!
    1
  2499. It really does look awesome in person. Having the internal battle of whether the Tacoma still looks the best.
    1
  2500. I’ve got another video coming on that one. Things aren’t what they seem unfortunately.
    1
  2501. I love the Frontier, Tesla ehhh
    1
  2502. This has been in full swing forever. I grew up surrounded by dirtbags who road that welfare train. I used my anger & resentment as motivation to never be anything like them, it worked.
    1
  2503. That would be pretty sick. Be careful at first and get your fluids flushed & seals checked. It’s been sitting around for like 2yrs basically at this point. Make the dealership agree to it before you sign.
    1
  2504. Yep
    1
  2505. I’ve been buying and selling cars as a side business for 25 years. I wish what you were saying was true but it’s the complete opposite. Most people buy expensive cars because they think it’s cool and want to look a certain way. They’ll max themselves out and the banks are happy to allow that. 10-15% of buyers are walking into a dealership and paying cash for something. Vehicles like this, it’s less than that.
    1
  2506. I appreciate it!
    1
  2507. Yep, it’s ridiculous
    1
  2508. I’m loving my 24 Camaro 🙂 1966 Mustang is pretty tough to be though!
    1
  2509. Immaturity, bad leadership, and greed. Happens in every administration.
    1
  2510. I like them better as well
    1
  2511. their employees and customers are the ones hurting. You can find a good deal now, tax time will start to crap on that
    1
  2512. Sorry you had a crappy experience work for them
    1
  2513. They’ll be up soon, this is my new series where I show what it will truly cost to own something.
    1
  2514. Just ordered some!
    1
  2515. Amazing pickups
    1
  2516. I bet it has my friend!
    1
  2517. Hopefully there will be some cheap leases and people won’t lose so much money.
    1
  2518. Hopefully you can get one quickly
    1
  2519. Don, I’ll relay this over to the service rep. I really appreciate it. Hopefully they take it under advisement at least. It makes sense, and I’m not sure what material difference is being used on the acoustic glass that’s in the Lariat, but they don’t seem to have this problem.
    1
  2520. Where was yours coming in from?
    1
  2521. Poor advertising, they didn’t budget the support for the car.
    1
  2522.  @mikethomas9033  The Maverick is what most people actually need.
    1
  2523. That’s disgusting and very said for the Russian people.
    1
  2524. Just wait for my upcoming GMC video. Ridiculous 😑
    1
  2525. The $300k houses are usually 1960-1970’s brick ranch cat-piss specials. I built an amazing home for $460k. I showed up to the job site constantly and went behind everything they did. They didn’t cut corners or use the cheapest materials. I’m in NC as well. The bad experiences will always be the loudest. My house would sell for $570k just over a year later. My neighbors paid $80-$90k more than I did. Negotiate and be the first build if you can. Waiting isn’t the answer. We all hoped for another 2008 and it never came.
    1
  2526. Dropping it off for just that in a couple of days.
    1
  2527. Yeah that color sucks. I would pass on it as well. Thanks for watching!

  2528. Which trim are you looking at?
    1
  2529. That’s a solid garage. Thanks for watching my friend!
    1
  2530. I appreciate you keeping it real mate. I do the same thing.
    1
  2531. Those are great!
    1
  2532. I love that setup. Hope you didn’t pay a markup for it
    1
  2533. I just hate how shallow the bed is on those
    1
  2534. Well said mate!
    1
  2535. That’s awesome! I do think the lunar rock and bronze combo is about the best you can get on the Tacoma. I’m with you on the trd or looks, not bad but I’d prefer the look of the trail any day. Enjoy the truck and that Jeep, put ‘em to use!!
    1
  2536.  @bossgonzalez9120  I think the black one looks really good too.
    1
  2537. Yes it’s got wired android auto and Apple CarPlay
    1
  2538. The only full-size truck that road as well is the Ram 1500 imo. The gear shift is a terrible design and the audio system was pretty bad as well. Bed cabin space in mid-size segment though.
    1
  2539. They are starting to hide them. Went to Ram yesterday and about 100 Ram 1500s magically disappeared.
    1
  2540. Yeah I think so too. Thanks for watching
    1
  2541. Not too sure, they’ve been for a long time too
    1
  2542. That’s a good deal on that truck. I’m sure you’re loving it; how’s the fuel economy in that 5.0?
    1
  2543. Thanks for the feedback. And thanks for watching my friend!
    1
  2544. That’s a 2024 mate.
    1
  2545. Same here my friend! Looks like now wouldn’t be a bad time to negotiate on one.
    1
  2546. I’ll talk about later on but I have some theories on how they came up with the design.
    1
  2547. Yep, it’s a shame that the vast majority of the industry behaves this way.
    1
  2548. I honestly really liked it a lot. Fuel economy is pretty crappy but it’s a blast to drive. I also love the styling 👍🏼👍🏼
    1
  2549. Yeah it’s really sweet. They should have included fog lights at that price.
    1
  2550. You should look at the Montana LLC loophole. Wise move to dump the Bison even though I like it more than the Raptor.
    1
  2551. Thanks man!!
    1
  2552. Yeah I probably wouldn’t go for it
    1
  2553. ZR2 base is a great value. Bison is a bit pricey. Awesome trucks!
    1
  2554. You will soon I’m sure
    1
  2555. Yep, it’s absurd
    1
  2556. There’s steps as you go further in the process where you do have to put that amount down.
    1
  2557. I am not making the numbers up. Have you seen depreciation figures for EVs? Have you priced ties that size? Do you think insurance companies are in the business of charging you less? I own a 2025 Tesla Model 3. Not a Tesla hater.
    1
  2558. I’m cutting them a little slack since it’s a first year car. These quality issues are bs though and I’m not happy in the least. I’ll probably go back to a BMW tbh. I never had any issues with mine.
    1
  2559. Oh yeah, sorry. It’s a steal after that’s factored in 🤣
    1
  2560. You’re not wrong. I live near GraveDigger and that industry isn’t what it used to be.
    1
  2561. If you can find a 2.3L 5spd that’s been well cared for, they can last just as long as the Tacomas from the same era. I saved myself boat loads of cash and have pickup that enjoy a lot more than my newer vehicles.
    1
  2562.  @bricks-mortar  I owned a 2020 ranger. It was underpowered, particularly when it came to towing my boat.
    1
  2563. They give zero point zero f##ks
    1
  2564. Yeah it’s gross
    1
  2565. That’s not too bad for a Pro-4X
    1
  2566. Loads of that were backlog fleet sales. I have a Ford Rep and know two managers of dealerships. They aren’t selling regular trucks like they were. Also some of their competitors have been giving $10k off msrp.
    1
  2567. My Maverick hybrid was in the shop for 5weeks with 700 miles on. Then it went back in the shop a week later for leaking exhaust into the cabin.
    1
  2568. That’s a great truck. I owned a 2021 TRD OR, paid like $39k for it
    1
  2569. Yep, the whole business model is bad and always has been.
    1
  2570. Those are great pickups. I’ve got an 04 Ranger as my daily driver. Love it!
    1
  2571. Thanks, great color for sure!
    1
  2572. Yes I’m getting the Tremor and a GR Corolla. Thanks, I’m digging the white. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2573.  @paulhoffer3123  yeah I really doubt it unfortunately. They did the same thing on the new Rangers at a much higher price point. Its ridiculous
    1
  2574. Yep
    1
  2575. Yes it’s a great vehicle honestly
    1
  2576. Camrys are a great choice for a long term commuter or something like that. Not my cup of tea
    1
  2577. 100% agree
    1
  2578. Graduations that’s great. You’re gonna love it I’m originally from the Twin Cities I, that would be a nice little road trip.
    1
  2579. I like them for sure
    1
  2580. Ex-gf was a finance manager for a large German luxury auto group. The vast majority of their customers were what would be considered rich. At a minimum they’d be considered a “high net worth” individual. Getting approval for financing at luxury auto companies is not as easy as people assume.
    1
  2581. These prices are actually moving more 3rd gens. I’ve thought about buying one to spite the 2024 haha I’ll bring my money elsewhere though.
    1
  2582. Those are junk as well mate. Koreans will use Alibaba parts and cheap out on scary things like suspension, and brakes.
    1
  2583. I really liked my 2009 Ram 1500 Laramie minus the terrible fuel economy. No problems over 6 years of ownership.
    1
  2584. Yeah it was marketed as the best performance for under $20k ever made. They weren’t lying! I got a 2003 Silver in 2004 making 380whp. It was totally rad!
    1
  2585. That’s no surprise mate. I’ve traveled a lot for proper deals, shouldn’t have to do that but it’s the scammy world we live in.
    1
  2586. It’s not going to sell well. The Raptor will help but it’ll get smoked by every other mid-size truck.
    1
  2587. That would sell really well I’m sure. The Model X isn’t great.
    1
  2588. Yep
    1
  2589. Thank you so much for your support
    1
  2590. You’re right, I left that stuff for another video.
    1
  2591. My 2004 ranger actually gets 25 mpg combined and if I had the regular tires on it I could get 30 mpg on the highway. I also have the 2.3 L four-cylinder with a five speed manual transmission.
    1
  2592. That’s good, I know they are having supply chain issues with the harnesses so there’s a lot of folks waiting around. Many dealers aren’t going to risk selling them.
    1
  2593. Any non-shitbox is selling instantly here in Virginia. Only stuff that’s sitting are 300% overpriced dumps in the ghetto. New construction sites are packed, open houses are too. It’s disgusting and I wish I was lying.
    1
  2594. Yeah that fee is horseshit. I’m going to get them to throw in a bunch of free service to offset it. That’s really easy to do and most never bring it up.
    1
  2595. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2596. Nissan has the same problems in Mississippi with low-wage workers with terrible benefits. I’m an engineer and watched General Electric move their plant from Pennsylvania to Texas. Cut all benefits and are paying 52% less wages. Their quality has been in the toilet since and they’ve probably spent more with warranty claims and recalls.
    1
  2597. Ha I currently own two for trucks, one of which is a Ranger. I’ve owned nearly 20 fords over the years. This is the auto show in my local area, I’m way too small time to be on the press payroll. I’ll be interested to see the V6 in this, but overall it wasn’t a very impressive transformation from the previous model. Thanks for watching and commenting as well.
    1
  2598. I got one for $4k under msrp for one of my viewers. Paying over would be ridiculous.
    1
  2599. Yep, great SUV!
    1
  2600. The lower priority code, the faster it will be built. If you have a 10 it will be built way before a 15.
    1
  2601. With the new ones, probably not but the 4Runner is a different story. That’ll outlive all of us but the cost to operate is very high. Fuel, tires, brakes cost a lot. You have factor that stuff in. I was getting 17mpg in my 4Runner and 41mpg in my Ford Maverick that was $16,000 less than my 4Runner.
    1
  2602. I didn’t pay any tax on it because I was except at the time because of being active duty in the military. I would have paid $1,750 or so for taxes.
    1
  2603. Yeah that’s what most would do. I’m sure a bunch of lawyers got involved here.
    1
  2604. I had to nearly declare a lemon law on my 2016. 2021 was solid. The new ones are Kmart special all the way.
    1
  2605. I still have the 4Runner, not selling it.
    1
  2606. Will do, thanks
    1
  2607. This is all complete nonsense and don’t waste your time listening to crash bros
    1
  2608. That’s unfortunately true and lame AF
    1
  2609. Visit a showroom and you’ll know why.
    1
  2610. I’ve used that one too many times
    1
  2611. Great car with a manual. I found the auto to be a pretty lame experience.
    1
  2612. I’ve never been a fan of speedy SUV’s.
    1
  2613. I had a 2007 Jeep Wrangler sport that I bought for $8,000. It was rock solid and a lot of fun. I lived on the oceanfront and it was perfect for that. Moved to downtown and ended up selling it. The best off-roader I’ve ever owned is the Nissan Xterra Pro-4x. I did all the Jeep trails in VA, & NC and would stomp most Wranglers. Also paid $8,500 for it. I tried to order a 22 Bronco 2door base trim with a manual for low 30’s. Guess what?? Ford wouldn’t fulfill the orders because their margins weren’t as high. I’ve seen the transmission to their dealerships stating this. Look at the Maverick’s 35-40% price increase. Most are pulling this crap but Ford and Jeep seem to be the two worst. My Expedition press vehicles was awesome but it was $70k for a XLT, come the f on😑
    1
  2614. Fingers crossed
    1
  2615. I’ll believe it when I’m behind the wheel.
    1
  2616. Sounds like a bad day for those buyers
    1
  2617. These are a major tell for the material quality used. 57k miles in under a year, that’s wild. I’m glad you’re not having any issues. Go to the FB groups and forums and see for yourself. There’s trouble in paradise my friend.
    1
  2618. Chesapeake, VA
    1
  2619. They’ve grown over the years
    1
  2620.  @armanddeperdussin3897  that’s awesome my friend. They are great pickups and they’ll never make em like that again. We’re lucky to have one!!
    1
  2621. Unfortunately they will
    1
  2622. It does add like 200hp😁
    1
  2623. Act?
    1
  2624. That’s a surprise
    1
  2625. Marketing has become the main factor in the car industry. Social engineering, I talk about it in many of my other videos as well.
    1
  2626. It’s got a truck bed and can tow 5k. Has excellent payload. Unibody is simply a design. It doesn’t mean it makes it something else entirely. I engineer satellite communication systems, and I have some that are fixed, integrated into existing infrastructure. I also have others that are completely mobile. They are both satellite communication systems, but very different design. At the end of the day, they achieve the same function though.
    1
  2627. I traded options for a while, lost more than I made.
    1
  2628. I had a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X that was the same. I’d crush Jeeps and Broncos on the trails, paid $8k for it ha
    1
  2629. Sounds like everything worked out for the best. Happy for you friend!
    1
  2630. If you show up, they will make a deal happen
    1
  2631. Yep and that tech is getting $20 of it. True pimpin there, working in garages instead of corners.
    1
  2632. It was a 2024 with 8,500 miles on it. I liked it too but that price was way high.
    1
  2633. Surprised there’s no 8ft bed, it’s otherwise a really good truck.
    1
  2634. Really amazing car, I just got done reviewing it today. I want to buy one now
    1
  2635. Sounds like an awesome setup! Thanks for watching 😁
    1
  2636. I use my Ranger bed about 3 days per week. The shallow nature of the RL’s would have all of my stuff flying out. Or I’d have to strap everything down excessively. You want your items blocked by the cab and sidewall. The Ridgeline can’t do this.
    1
  2637. If personally get a 2023 Tacoma or a new Frontier. Titan if you’re going full-size.
    1
  2638. Yeah they are mostly scumbags chasing nickels instead of dollars. Very short sighted.
    1
  2639. I shoot new Toyotas all the time on my channel. I’m in Virginia.
    1
  2640. That’s a good reason to wait
    1
  2641. I have about 45 miles on it now. Tons of idle too. I’m going to top off the tank and reset the odometer. I’ll make a video about it.
    1
  2642. Yep, it’s junk
    1
  2643. That’s a smoking deal
    1
  2644. They will make that up in BS fees
    1
  2645. They never seems to learn
    1
  2646. Yeah that’s too much for any truck
    1
  2647. They are all spendy. I’ll have some Ranger videos coming soon. Glad you’re enjoying the truck.
    1
  2648. Virginia
    1
  2649. You’re not wrong, that’s for sure. I’ll check out your channel when I get off of work today. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2650. I do as well. I’ve offered to meet with some of their team for free. We shall see
    1
  2651. I agree
    1
  2652. Glad you’re loving it! Thanks for watching
    1
  2653. Those car imports are growing but it’s a micro fraction of a percent in the overall vehicle market.
    1
  2654. Work the dealers off one another
    1
  2655. Glad you're a fan! I really like the Abarth as well.
    1
  2656. Thanks, they make great cars
    1
  2657. You should watch latest video on the Trailboss. It’s a fn great truck!
    1
  2658. Yep
    1
  2659. 💯
    1
  2660. Tool debt is a huge issue in the industry.
    1
  2661. That’s a steal for the market. Keep it in your family for a long time!
    1
  2662. Those are awesome cars
    1
  2663. Yep, you’re not going to do much better value wise! Hope you get one if you haven’t already. Thanks for watching
    1
  2664. If China can make something cheap and crappy, they will.
    1
  2665. Tons of dealers are still doing that crap.
    1
  2666. Yep, really dumb
    1
  2667. There’s issues for sure
    1
  2668. I do my own oil changes now that I have a house. Some things are unavoidable and you’ll have to use a mechanic. I recommend having those direct conversations up front. Understand they need to make a living but not buy a beach house at your expense. Let them know you plan to be a repeat customer if they treat you fairly.
    1
  2669. Hahah yep
    1
  2670. Get a defender, you’ll be more comfortable and have the off-road capability
    1
  2671. Good point. I’ll find out in 8 or so years when I buy one for 1/10th this price. The wheels on my ranger look better than both and cost $300 with new tires off of FB marketplace.
    1
  2672. They are all expensive mate!
    1
  2673. That’s a solid deal for a solid truck. If I buy another midsize truck, it’ll probably be a Frontier.
    1
  2674. Yes, it’s covered up but there’s a hitch and towing assembly.
    1
  2675. Yep, there are “deals” to be had if you’re willing to travel and show you’re ready to pull the trigger. Most novice buyers are better off using a broker. $500 and it saves you tons of headache and they have better prices often. Dealers know that they are serious buyers if they’re willing to pay a broker.
    1
  2676. Sell you mine, dirt cheap 😂
    1
  2677. Colorado WT can still be had pretty basic spec.
    1
  2678. I wish they would send them over here!
    1
  2679. Back to the future man. This is what all the 80’s movies said we’d be driving in 2020. Hoverboards, IA robots and all of that.
    1
  2680. I have 2.3% and it’s totally RAD!!
    1
  2681. Check out MaverickTruckClub and search dash rattle or windshield rattle. There’s tons of cases. I’m working with Ford directly on it.
    1
  2682. ??
    1
  2683. Yep, it’s insane. I could see if it were a GT500, or even the Darkhorse model but this?? Not a chance!
    1
  2684. Yep, it was one of the best vehicles ever produced.
    1
  2685. It’s honestly not a bad engine. It’s a comfortable cruiser with a bit of pep. There’s way better cars for a daily than an eco boost mustang.
    1
  2686. They’ve had unrealistic expectations for sure.
    1
  2687. Colorado Trailboss is less. You can get a Ram 1500 for the same price or less.
    1
  2688. Did you not hear me talk about how nice the vehicle was?
    1
  2689. Yeah those are junk
    1
  2690. Ehh, that was about the same amount adjusted for inflation. Still a ripoff.
    1
  2691. I’m optimistic that they will
    1
  2692. You and me both mate!
    1
  2693. Sounds interesting, glad it worked out for you.
    1
  2694. I hope it grows on me but not too promising
    1
  2695. Looks like a sweet app. Enjoy the process mate!
    1
  2696. I live in NC and they are piled up here
    1
  2697. Yeah the only slip was their transmissions 🎤💧
    1
  2698. Yep, I’d go with the 5.0 and the 8ft bed
    1
  2699. Nice, I’m sure you’re going to love it
    1
  2700. Yeah it’s going to be interesting, love the current style too though
    1
  2701. Depends on the package you choose. Base model with cloth seats, up to heated leather. I do wish they offered cooled/ventilated seats.
    1
  2702. Plenty of full-size
    1
  2703. With big discounts to where they are cheaper than this
    1
  2704. I wouldn’t mind getting a 2020 pro 4X because it’s got the upgraded motor and trans. That’s a little bit more efficient. Might not be as reliable as the 4 L though.
    1
  2705. 2WD trucks tank in resale
    1
  2706. Not too sure how long that will last.
    1
  2707. That’s a smokin deal
    1
  2708. It’s the best looking Maverick imo. I sold mine to a fan of my channel who got screwed on her order. You’re going to love it!
    1
  2709. “Thought crime” I fight this in EVERY video I post.
    1
  2710.  @bradbowles1153  yeah they’re Ranger designs since 2011 suck. It’s not a very hard concept, they just have a terrible team leader on it.
    1
  2711. That’s gross mate! $54k for any small pickup is insane.
    1
  2712. I’d prefer the El Camino 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s got some character at least.
    1
  2713. That’s gross
    1
  2714. Shortsighted people in the wrong positions
    1
  2715. I like those cars but the clutch is terrible and it’s slow. I’d want another 75HP/TQ. The arm rest is also oddly placed in it. It makes shifting into 2nd & 4th uncomfortable.
    1
  2716. It’s like this all over the place now. VB is among the worst though.
    1
  2717. Same here, thanks for watching!
    1
  2718. It’s gross for sure
    1
  2719. Sure looks that way. I don’t see that changing
    1
  2720. Hundreds of thousands will feel that pain. Hopefully they can turn it around.
    1
  2721. Much appreciated my friend! I’ll keep at it for sure!
    1
  2722. Absolutely
    1
  2723. 100% I know a guy who tunes that transmission to be amazing too. I’ve owned 3 of them, great trucks.
    1
  2724. Yep it’s crap. I’ll stick with my 2004 Ranger XL for $2,500, 6ft bed with a drop in liner and a manual.
    1
  2725. Nah those are lame. Way more cheaply built and not my style.
    1
  2726. Thanks, I’ll knock it out but it won’t be easy
    1
  2727. True
    1
  2728. Buddy had a 98 diesel Golf. Great car but it did have issues with the window motors. Other than that, no other problems. Great gas mileage, like 45mpg, 5spd. I’d like to get my hands on one now.
    1
  2729. Yes it’s the only time I don’t get bombarded. I get it, they are trying to make money and I’m on their turf, so I don’t act like a jerk or anything.
    1
  2730. Great to hear
    1
  2731. Nice!
    1
  2732. That’s an era that’s now gone. These latest Toyotas are garbage.
    1
  2733. 95% of customers finance
    1
  2734. Hey Johnny, thank you my friend, that means a lot. I’ve always enjoyed your content. YouTube is lucky to have you. - Joe
    1
  2735. Great video my friend. I make a lot of Ford videos as well. Keep it up.
    1
  2736. Yep!
    1
  2737. Hard to come by now because no one bought them so they stopped the production pretty much
    1
  2738. I just got a tumor removed from knee, thought things couldn’t really get worse for me but then I subscribed to Savagegeese!
    1
  2739. That’s fair
    1
  2740. I do a lot of wheeling and dealing so I factor that stuff in. That said, you’re right in the vast majority of situations.
    1
  2741. Sounds like that worked out for you. The XLT has too many shortcomings. You made the right choice with the Lariat.
    1
  2742. Definitely got a great deal on it. Going to do an update video on the ranger soon
    1
  2743. PRO-4X is probably the better overall choice if you actually want to have truck capability. If Ridgeline is more your speed, I’d just get a Ford Maverick hybrid. $15-$20k less and nearly twice as efficient.
    1
  2744. I agree!
    1
  2745. Yeah same here. The powertrain is way better than the Tacoma’s though.
    1
  2746.  @AlphaKorr  yeah there’s a surprising amount of engines having that same issue. I didn’t mind the truck for my short time with it. I’ll stick with my Tacoma
    1
  2747. Not too sure I’m following your question??
    1
  2748. Neat cars
    1
  2749. That’s a bummer to hear about the delay, the service department should be prepared for the part.
    1
  2750. Mid-size truck sales are up 49%. There’s deeper issues with Nissan unfortunately.
    1
  2751. It’ll start soon
    1
  2752. I’ve owned 5-6 dedicated off-roaders. For this price, the suspension technology should be far better. There’s plenty of aftermarket companies who make amazing setups who’d gladly like a 100 million contract.
    1
  2753. Both are great 4Runners. I prefer the lunar rock and I’m not a fan of Wescott design’s roof rack. I do like the functionality of his stuff but I do feel the looks need to be overhauled. He should contract a design engineer to polish things up. I have his lift on my Tacoma TRD OR and it’s great so I’m not trying to rag on him. Feedback is always a gift 😁
    1
  2754. Yes it is, gets tons of hate by people who’ve never driven one.
    1
  2755. Yep, they’re trying to defy physics and they have no idea what they’re doing. Chevy’s push-rod V8 is probably the best engine technology ever developed. My Camaro can make up to 650hp and still get nearly 30mpg hwy
    1
  2756. They know who I am in my local area.
    1
  2757. That’s one of the best engines ever made. 2.3l in my Ranger will last 400k
    1
  2758. You’re not wrong on that one. Hand outs are never the answer.
    1
  2759. Haha thanks, I’d never get a car like this in an automatic. They kept trying to push the C8 corvette on me, I firmly passed! Plus it was $70k and I paid $44k OTD for a better car.
    1
  2760. That’s beyond frustrating
    1
  2761. Definitely agree. They tried to do too much at once instead of perfecting what they had. The Koreans always do this too.
    1
  2762. Bro, what do you do for a living to be able to have that collection and massive house like that?
    1
  2763. They definitely need to be lowered
    1
  2764. I’ve bought two for under msrp since the scam market began. There’s deals to be had, just have to weed through the sea of scumbags. I know some dealers that’ll do msrp plus whatever factory incentives. Thanks for watching
    1
  2765.  @CommsCheck  yeah it’s really not hard at all.
    1
  2766. Challenger and Camaro are better cars.
    1
  2767. Many people agree with you
    1
  2768. I like it. I would want a proper living room but overall, it’s a nice place. I had a similar but larger place in Warsaw, Poland but it was much more expensive $950 USD. This seems a bit far from the city but that’s cheap. Good video mate!
    1
  2769. Many people can’t get financing for a used car to be honest with you. The industry does this on purpose to keep you spending more and more.
    1
  2770. Paying cash doesn’t benefit the dealership and they are less inclined to make a deal. They make their money on financing.
    1
  2771. Yeah right dude. Tell that to the buyers looking for a decent home there right now.
    1
  2772. I bet, glad you’re loving it!
    1
  2773. You’re not wrong
    1
  2774. I agree, there are many potential issues that I'm very concerned about.
    1
  2775. I’m with ya mate!
    1
  2776. Yep, the Ridgeline could be crushing it if priced correctly and offering a fuel efficient hybrid option. I don’t hate it by any means, I’ve just never been willing to spend that kind of money on one.
    1
  2777. I shot a quick video on the Lime Rush TRD OR, not my favorite setup. I just think the chrome doesn’t go well with the color.
    1
  2778. Haha, I have DMV data that provides me the exact number of days it’s been registered on their lot for. I also have tracking software that receives inventory feeds from manufacturers & dealerships. You can also get this same data publicly from CarEdge. Here’s real world fuel economy https://www.fuelly.com/car/subaru/forester/2023. I don’t just make shit up. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2779. That would be $100k now
    1
  2780. You’re not wrong
    1
  2781. Those are awesome cars.
    1
  2782. I’ve owned 4 Ford Mavericks. The fuel economy and price tag destroy the Ridgeline and always will.
    1
  2783. All good points, thanks for watching
    1
  2784. Those trucks have been there for over 4 years
    1
  2785. Yep, that will be the case with many
    1
  2786. Yes interest has gone waaay down in new cars. Don’t blame people for tuning out.
    1
  2787. Happy you’re liking it!
    1
  2788. Thanks brother, working on it for sure!!
    1
  2789. Yep
    1
  2790. It’d be a silly way to burn up a ton of money.
    1
  2791. Yep, total mayhem
    1
  2792. Yeah it’s really badass in person. I’d love to have one but don’t need it and can’t afford it haha
    1
  2793. 39 in hybrid and 23 in tremor
    1
  2794. Glad to hear it
    1
  2795. I completely agree with you on that.
    1
  2796. Was not a good idea
    1
  2797. It's a shame the Ridgeline isn't rated for more towing. It's a great truck for day to day. That is quite the list you’ve had. You’ll be more informed than most when you go to buy one. Like I always state in my vids, don’t hate the truck, but there are drawbacks for sure.
    1
  2798. Sure does
    1
  2799. It’s not great, that’s for sure
    1
  2800. It’s not great
    1
  2801.  @josephduncan4356  sold the truck, but yeah it’s enough to haul a small junk trailer.
    1
  2802. 2022
    1
  2803. Frontier is my top pick for sure.
    1
  2804. Totally agree. I’ve got some fun videos coming on this garbage moving forward.
    1
  2805. Thanks, she's pretty amazing. I'll try to get her on more.
    1
  2806. Haha, I’m a senior satellite communications engineer and retired military officer. I also have multiple rental properties, and buy and sell cars. I see the fall out from people getting far more than need and can afford. I’ve been in the car business for 25 years.
    1
  2807. Yeah it’s gross
    1
  2808. I’ve yet to drive one of those. I’ll be sure to give it a try. Thanks for watching!!
    1
  2809. It shows the truth that’s for sure.
    1
  2810. That’s terrible man. Hope you’re enjoying it at least.
    1
  2811. That’s great pay if you’re getting the hours.
    1
  2812. I’ve always liked the older forester like 2010- 2014 era. What’s your fuel economy been like.
    1
  2813. Yep
    1
  2814. They’ll go to auction but most likely other dealers will get em for cheap and the manufacturer will try and give some kickbacks if they can. Very rarely will they let the consumer get it for the price it should have from the start.
    1
  2815. Sounds like the Tremor is going to be awesome for you. What color did you end up getting? Thanks for watching btw
    1
  2816. This was overhead and slow sales.
    1
  2817. It’s pretty ugly for sure
    1
  2818. Haha great truck, I’m sure they want it back
    1
  2819. It’s great man
    1
  2820. Yep, great pickup
    1
  2821. Yeah it’s a great color. Had a 2016 inferno Tacoma trd sport. Great looking truck!
    1
  2822. You’re better off getting a GMC or Chevy work truck with the 5.3L & 8ft bed. F-150 with 5.0 work truck is hard to find. If you want a regular spec, get a Titan while you still can.
    1
  2823. They’re up 21%, not too bad
    1
  2824. That’s what I was thinking too
    1
  2825. Never sell it!! Mine was 04 solar yellow no sunroof as well. Already had to fix a leak in this sunroof, really annoying. Amazing cars though.
    1
  2826. I never tow and live off-roading, FX4 4k, wasn’t my jam but really love this Tremor. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2827. Congratulations, that’ll be a great setup. I’d get that if I were living up north or in the mountains.
    1
  2828. And gas is “cheap” now too. $7-8 a gallon and you’ll see Cybertrucks selling big time.
    1
  2829. Tell that to the people at the bidding war. #nocrashbro
    1
  2830. Haha I may do that
    1
  2831. I’m just sick of it all my friend. I’m happy when I get into my 2004 Ranger that I’m $3,700 all in on.
    1
  2832. Ehhh compared to everything else, it’s one of the more affordable trucks. Everything is crazy expensive now.
    1
  2833. Yes it is actually. I bought a 2021 well equipped Trd off-road for $39,800 out the door same truck would be around $45,500 right now.
    1
  2834. I posted the purchase agreement, It’s at MSRP.
    1
  2835. Posted the purchase agreement, it’s msrp
    1
  2836. Not according to repair pal or consumer reports. Most mechanics always complain about modern vehicles being too complicated.
    1
  2837. I used to live in Europe and had a 3 cylinder Fiat from work. It was the worst car I’ve ever had to spend a large amount of time in. It would struggle to get up hills even.
    1
  2838. You’re one of the many who’ve bought the Frontier instead of the new Tacoma. Great choice!
    1
  2839. That’s low miles. Try to get maintenance records and have it inspected. Sometimes they will do odometer rollbacks.
    1
  2840. Same here, it makes the cars look cheap and crappy.
    1
  2841.  @Alan-lv9rw  only thing that I would say that is close are the regular cab GMC Sierra Pro after discounts.
    1
  2842.  @bmoc632000  they really do need to lift it
    1
  2843. I only paid $23,680 because I registered in a state with no sales tax and got a military discount. Killer deal
    1
  2844. I have dmv data access
    1
  2845. Sooo you like seeing people lose their jobs and be placed in a terrible situation? Especially in the most expensive country that offers no real assistance. 4.5 year wait in my area for housing assistance.
    1
  2846. Yeah that color sucks
    1
  2847.  @chaddobson7056  it’s sad but true
    1
  2848. No crash anywhere bud. I wasted a ton of time not buying like many. It’s the crash that never happened.
    1
  2849. That rear seat area is a major fail. No manual in a "performance" car is pretty lame as well. I'll stick with my Camaro SS.
    1
  2850. Same here! I paid $40k OTD for my 2022 TRD OR delivered to my house. These prices are insane.
    1
  2851. Asian brands are nuts too mate. Most brands are expensive to repair nowadays anyway. Parts sharing and global supply chains. An American truck has parts from all the world. Just like a VW having a lot of American parts etc…
    1
  2852. Maybe these specialty seats take up a bit more space. I didn’t magically grow or anything.
    1
  2853. Yeah it’s honestly just as nice as an Acura.
    1
  2854. I think they learned their lesson on this. It’s been there for like 8 months
    1
  2855. Sure are
    1
  2856. I’m sure it was
    1
  2857. I’d rather this be an EV than that garbage 4cyl it’s using.
    1
  2858. Yeah, the price increases on trucks have just gotten completely insane. The general public has to take a stand to make it change and it looks like it’s heading in that direction to a degree.
    1
  2859. Haha I love those accents. Everyone has their own tastes obviously. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more Maverick content!
    1
  2860. Yeah it’s dumb. Brands like to assume everything will work like Ram did, it won’t.
    1
  2861. Check out my latest video
    1
  2862. Hahah that’s a good point
    1
  2863. That’s what I was thinking
    1
  2864. Represent!!
    1
  2865. True statement my friend! Thanks for watching, share with your friends. People need to know about all scammy BS that’s going on.
    1
  2866. That’s a great vehicle
    1
  2867.  @fincity1964  they are slowly arriving which makes it hard to get any deals. Look into the Maverick if you don’t need to tow more than 4,000lbs.
    1
  2868. Had the XLT Max for a month and got 23mpg overall. Mostly hwy driving but still better than expected.
    1
  2869. Great pickup!
    1
  2870. Can’t beat that my friend! People are scared to do their own maintenance but then realize it’s usually cheap and easy.
    1
  2871. Yep, I wouldn’t do it for $30k
    1
  2872. They blew it on this one.
    1
  2873. That’s a court case in my book, I would have sued the crap out of them.
    1
  2874. My two favorites are Cardinal Red and Tactical Green Metallic.
    1
  2875. Haha it’ll probably get worse
    1
  2876. Those are awesome
    1
  2877. I love the EL Camino
    1
  2878. Yep, it’s never going away from the looks of it
    1
  2879. There’s basically no OPSEC any longer. Fighting wars using WhatsApp and slack. Publishing all of your capabilities and deployments. Smart…
    1
  2880. Those 510’s are awesome
    1
  2881. Nope just a new addition. CR-V is for the Mrs
    1
  2882. That’s awful but sounds about right
    1
  2883. AOC was a bartender, and is an openly racist bigot, who has a fiancé, who is whiter than Snow mind you. That’s somebody you really need to be listening to.😂
    1
  2884. Families are definitely broke
    1
  2885. Frontier is a solid truck. I also like the Ranger though. The 2.3L has been probably the most reliable turbo 4 thus far.
    1
  2886. Ehh they are ok but I’d rather have a hybrid due to the infrastructure in the USA.
    1
  2887. Yeah man, they’re great trucks. These videos do poorly but actually help people work on their trucks so I’ll keep making them.
    1
  2888. Awesome
    1
  2889. I actually loved my GM rides, I’ve owned many of them and just bought a Camaro SS. Check it out https://youtu.be/Q9Wy8oh-0dk?si=WlmZnIUD3ExNqdJM
    1
  2890. They really are fantastic cars.
    1
  2891. Wish that one had cooled seats
    1
  2892. Totally agree
    1
  2893. Different but probably still around
    1
  2894. I don’t hate the vehicle by any means but there’s quality issues for sure. Glad you’re loving yours and thanks for watching!
    1
  2895. Same here and it’s more comfortable
    1
  2896. It’s high on my list
    1
  2897. For sure
    1
  2898. Civic Type R felt slow to me. Integrated Type S is tuned better and feels more sorted. I think it’s a great car. Here’s an old review I did of it. Disregard the crappy audio haha my mic was busted and make it sound synthetic. I get what you’re saying regarding the M2. My Camaro was way more fun to drive than my M4. My 2005 Neon SRT-4 stage 2 is more fun than both haha. You need to drive one bro, they are straight nasty!! https://youtu.be/MxOflI80xDs?si=rOKcH1ZvS74Bpu2F
    1
  2899. Yes Sir, it’s a shame. They are handing tons of business to Nissan and GM.
    1
  2900. That’s awesome!!
    1
  2901.  @___OmerAJ___  that is ridiculous. I’ve heard vehicles are very expensive in Turkey. Total BS, should be way cheaper there.
    1
  2902. Rear are super easy but I actually had the front installed professionally, I wasn’t there when they did it.
    1
  2903. The 50 million they ripped off from people for the past 5 years.
    1
  2904. My daily is a 2004 Ford Ranger. Paid $2,500 for it.
    1
  2905. Cool setup man
    1
  2906. You would have been blasted by the sun
    1
  2907. I appreciate the kind words, my friend. When the order banks open back up, there should be plenty of dealerships within your immediate area will do factory orders at MSRP so you don’t need to go all the way to Texas or pay for shipping from other parts of the country explain to them the situation of how long you’ve been waiting around for a Maverick and maybe some deals fell through. Ask for a priority code 10 shouldn’t have to wait around for very long. Once the outer banks open back up, I’ll help you out if you still need it.
    1
  2908. Yep, it’s gross
    1
  2909. The $7,000 profit helped:)
    1
  2910. That could very well be.
    1
  2911. Yep, paid $2,500 for mine and it’s got a bigger bed and a manual transmission. WINNING….WINNING
    1
  2912. Honestly, depending on what you need. Ram 1500 Classic & GMC Sierra Pro can be had for good discounts.
    1
  2913. Of course, Toyota is worth whatever they ask right??
    1
  2914. Honda has gone downhill overall for sure. My beater 2006 Civic was great but the RDX was a shitbox. You made the right choice.
    1
  2915. Hopefully this one goes smoother
    1
  2916. I can try to find one for you. It’ll probably be like $12-$1,500 to ship from the east coast. Revnationauto@gmail.com
    1
  2917. They are delusional
    1
  2918. You caught catching up on comments. That dealership’s service department wasn’t reading their bulletins. The fix for that is a hard reset on the battery. Pull your cables off and place it on a fast charger. Do this for a few minutes and place it back on & you’re good.
    1
  2919. The assembly plant left them sitting around off warm charging and it caused this. I’m a systems engineer and deal with this all the time.
    1
  2920. No way, it’s that much seriously?
    1
  2921. You can get cruise control. You just have to select it when building the truck. I agree it’s stupid and should be included. You’d be surprised at how many base trucks don’t automatically come with it. Many have crank windows as well.
    1
  2922. That’s a big fat ripoff.
    1
  2923. I hope you can get one soon.
    1
  2924. No fun there
    1
  2925. Yeah it’s pretty bad.
    1
  2926. Like a merger ?
    1
  2927. That’s crazy
    1
  2928. That’s great man, thanks for watching and I hope you don’t have any issues in the future as well.!
    1
  2929. Keep it up and let us know what you end up doing next. ORP pricing has gotten out of hand and you might as well opt for the TRD Pro.
    1
  2930. I'd pay maybe $50k for it
    1
  2931. And this is why the Nissan frontier is a really great option
    1
  2932. Sounds like a greedy jerk. I’m sure he’s really proud of himself and I bet his family isn’t jacked up at all🤣
    1
  2933. New construction is selling like hotcakes here in VA. They are raising their prices. Any nice home is getting multiple offers above asking. It sucks ass.
    1
  2934. I have one of these coming up for review on my channel. I’ve owned two Ford Mavericks so I’ll be doing a comparison.
    1
  2935. Yeah it’s a great truck overall
    1
  2936. Do you have the trd off-road?
    1
  2937. It does for sure.
    1
  2938. That was a solid deal for sure
    1
  2939. This dealership has 8 available. This one has been there for months. Same with the ones on the Virginia side. Most are still trying to do markups and buyers bought something else. People are also going broke, especially their younger demographic who buys this car. If you actually talk to a salesperson at Honda, they’ll give you the reality on the ground. I can buy this particular car below msrp.
    1
  2940. Yep, great setup. I’ve got a reg cab ranger and end up having to put smaller items in the bed of it.
    1
  2941. That’s horrifying and has been in play for a while down there. Housing, food, cars. I have no clue what they’re planning but it’s something.
    1
  2942. It’s ridiculous
    1
  2943. Yes it’s a great value
    1
  2944. They won’t let you. It’s a scam to keep dealerships involved. Tesla gets around the law by having their showrooms around. It’s unamerican as it gets.
    1
  2945. Yeah it was a terrible vehicle. Not too sure why the wife wanted one. I made money on it at least.
    1
  2946. Clearly you paid attention to what I said in the video. I haven’t bought 4 Mavericks, I’ve bought two. I had to take a dealership to court over being screwed out of my first one. I sold my Tremor to fan of the channel when her dealership put a mark up on her factory which was what happened to me. The second one was sold because of build quality issues where it was in the shop for a combined 8 weeks (at 700 miles). Then an exhaust gas leak was the final straw. A dealership saw my videos and offered to buy it. I’m buying another Tremor soon. I would have kept my original but I wanted to do something nice for someone who had been crapped on.
    1
  2947. I broke my neck badly on a deployment. It’s jacked the nerves up in my hands. Thanks for pointing it out though, I’ll try to clean it up more in the future.
    1
  2948. Wow, that sounds like a terrible experience.
    1
  2949. Great review mate. I’ve done a couple of Frontier videos, great truck!
    1
  2950. I drive a 2004 2.3L 5MT, reg cab. I get 25mpg combined with off-road tires. It’s great! Glad you’re loving yours as well.
    1
  2951.  @williamrode7061  hope you like the truck. Sometimes they act like that when they don’t get their way.
    1
  2952. It’s rare to have a good experience
    1
  2953. It’s a $30k car being sold for $70k. They are learning the hard way. Slow moving train was less obvious than their boneheaded pricing. My dog could have predicted this outcome.
    1
  2954. Yeah the rates are terrible. In USA they buy them down to move the vehicles but they then screw you on mandatory add-ons.
    1
  2955. Yep, that’s what it’ll cost you if you want one. You’ll pay a premium for this “truck”
    1
  2956. Haha
    1
  2957. Only one of them was. The rest were less than 60 days.
    1
  2958. 64x50 so it is bigger than it looks. 16in depth is what ruins it.
    1
  2959. That’s a 20k truck
    1
  2960. https://youtube.com/shorts/I7_MxzkK-LE?feature=share
    1
  2961. Yep, by the time you pay your fees and loan interest, it’ll be $80k.
    1
  2962. No it didn’t, there were 107 made for 04 and they are highly sought after in the SRT-4 community.
    1
  2963. Let’s hope not. Pretty ridiculous that people are doing that to the car owners.
    1
  2964. Next time!
    1
  2965. Yep, that’s pretty weak
    1
  2966. I lived in Hawaii where gas was $5-$6 a gallon and I was getting the same as you. Sold my 2009 Dodge and got a Tacoma. They are worth more than gold out there. If I could have gotten 20mpg out of my dodge I would still be driving it.
    1
  2967. That’s pretty crazy if true
    1
  2968. That’s just gross mate!
    1
  2969. Same here. This and Solar Yellow are my two favorite colors.
    1
  2970. It’s ridiculous
    1
  2971. Very true, I want to assist them in that choice but ultimately it’s theirs. Thanks for watching.
    1
  2972. I’m sure, soo dumb
    1
  2973. You can get a Chevy Colorado Trailboss for $38,500 that’s far more capable than the Forester. My colleague has the Forester Wilderness and he’s averaging 23mpg. It’s not a compelling package for the money. You’re better off just going with the regular forester or even better, a Crosstrek. It’s smaller but a better vehicle overall.
    1
  2974. I appreciate that my friend, means a lot!
    1
  2975. I’d take another look especially at the rear
    1
  2976. Yep, it’s ridiculous
    1
  2977. Leaving 100’s of millions on the table by not doing that. B-series “pickup” that’s not some behemoth would be amazing.
    1
  2978. It's a real value at that price, $54k after your bank is done with you, no way.
    1
  2979. Yep, great truck. I don’t need one but I want it!
    1
  2980. Haha wouldn’t doubt it
    1
  2981. All of the reliability reports have Audi and Mercedes near the bottom during that period. BMW has gone way up. I never had an issue with my 2016 328i for 100k miles.
    1
  2982. Yeah the speaker got jacked for some reason.
    1
  2983. The B58 is a fine engine but pretty boring. My Camaro’s 6.2 would eat it and crap it out before hitting 6,000rpm’s 🤣
    1
  2984. Yep
    1
  2985. It’s absurd
    1
  2986. I bought a Camaro 18months ago. I recently sold it to a fan of the channel for $500 less than I paid out the door. Had only 10k miles on it.
    1
  2987. I’d love to have my Maverick plus a 4Runner. I can’t be that much of an a-hole though. I’ll have another at some point.
    1
  2988. She is wasted. Yes, I hate that body count term. Makes me think of the number of mob hits completed.
    1
  2989. Yep, it’s gross. Quebec is 15% sales tax
    1
  2990. Yep
    1
  2991. That's a good topic.
    1
  2992. Yep, there’s plenty who’ve already been repoed.
    1
  2993. It's a whole other level of insanity
    1
  2994. They think the party in other people’s wallets never ends, WRONG!
    1
  2995. Yeah man they are piling up. I’ll probably have to buy one when it gets really bad 😁
    1
  2996. Good info, there’s not really sporty entry level SUV’s like the XT anymore. The best I’ve driven was the new Dodge Hornet RT PHEV.
    1
  2997. Yeah the prices are crazy high, but that’s all we got these days!
    1
  2998. It’s probably the best vehicle on the road from a quality standpoint.
    1
  2999. E-CVT
    1
  3000. Wait until I do the Ram Tungsten, fn ridiculous
    1
  3001. That’s what I drive. 2004 ford ranger 2wd 5MT, no problems 163k on it
    1
  3002. Thanks I appreciate it. I’m excited but I’ll be more excited when I’m holding the keys.
    1
  3003. A lot of people agree with you on that. I really love the color scheme on the Tremor though.
    1
  3004. I had a 2004 Ranger that’s awesome
    1
  3005. The fuel economy drop was really surprising. The RAV4 Hybrid Woodland edition is a better option if you’re concerned about efficiency.
    1
  3006. The larger displacement 2.7 has a better shot.
    1
  3007. Great truck mate!
    1
  3008. Had a 2011 Xterra P4X and also should have kept it.
    1
  3009.  @Astrocop17  Maverick is #1, Tacoma #2, Colorado #3, Frontier #4. It’s a great truck that is gaining ground mostly because the comps suck. Nissan still does a terrible job with advertising and incentives on this. They could sell a lot more than they do.
    1
  3010. Yes it is
    1
  3011. 2024 Camaro 1SS with a 6 speed manual. The paddles are for the auto rev matching. I don’t use them personally but it works great.
    1
  3012. Probably so, thanks for watching though!
    1
  3013. Same here mate
    1
  3014. They’ll have to eventually. Everyone will be forced to take Robo taxis and rent the bed you sleep in.
    1
  3015. And some sound deadening
    1
  3016. Those old hardbody pickups are so awesome. I’d love to restore one but it’s tough to find everything you need.
    1
  3017. That’s true
    1
  3018. You’re probably right!
    1
  3019. Completely agree mate!
    1
  3020. I made $7,600 selling my other one so it’s ok 😂
    1
  3021. I coined that phrase a long time ago. Then everyone ripped it off from me. https://youtu.be/985sPwcQEU4?si=TcVIZ7Hv-iqKYfDQ
    1
  3022. Couldn't agree more!
    1
  3023. Yep
    1
  3024. Yep it’s crap
    1
  3025. It’s just not a good value anymore.
    1
  3026. First I’ve heard that. I’ll take that into account.
    1
  3027. I appreciate that my friend. Yep, sounds like a keeper.
    1
  3028.  @Rockinthehill  haha they birds have their opinion of the truck
    1
  3029. I did ok
    1
  3030. Mazda's are fun and reliable!
    1
  3031. Really awesome video guys. I got to review it today and want to buy one hahah I absolutely love it
    1
  3032. I’ve owned 4 Ford Mavericks and have about 50 vids on them.
    1
  3033. Sounds awesome! Thanks for watching
    1
  3034. Nah, the XLT was another 3k
    1
  3035. Ask for $8-10k off on one. Shop around and be willing to travel. Can pay a broker like $500 to do it for you.
    1
  3036. You get the soft Tex seats but not heated correct?
    1
  3037. Sorry you’re having so much trouble finding one man.
    1
  3038. Mine too probably
    1
  3039. That’s nuts! It’s bad here in NC too.
    1
  3040. Nice ride for sure
    1
  3041. Yes they are!
    1
  3042. Haha yep
    1
  3043. I’ve heard that a lot
    1
  3044. I’ll wait and buy one used
    1
  3045. Great comment! I posted a while back that Khols car rate radomly went from 7% to 31.9% with a letter that was sent 3 months past the change date. I had no balance on it but I thought about those kids getting school clothes and their parents now paying private school payments to Mastercard. It’s gross.
    1
  3046. Same here mate, those are pretty hard to find oddly. I’m considering one with a manual as a daily run about then hand it off to one of the kids.
    1
  3047. Yeah it’s pretty lame
    1
  3048. Thanks for watching and for your feedback. Watch some of my other vids
    1
  3049. I completely agree mate! My Corolla wasn’t great as a daily and actually got pretty garbage fuel economy in town
    1
  3050. I should have went lariat from the get go. I’m glad you’re loving the truck and I hope you don’t run into any issues like I did. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you would!
    1
  3051. Better off getting a Maverick if non-truck trucking is your thing.
    1
  3052. They are already acting like it.
    1
  3053. Yes the only 2ss available within 200 miles of me was $58,000 before taxes. Nearly all others around the country were the same. Loaded up with tons of extra options that I didn’t give a crap about.
    1
  3054. Wow that’s gross
    1
  3055. Once you’re further in the process, you have to put $2,500 down.
    1
  3056. Dumps in the ghetto aren’t even going down. Rates have done literally jackshit.
    1
  3057. Sounds about right
    1
  3058. https://www.prioritytoyotachesapeake.com/
    1
  3059. Priority Toyota Chesapeake, VA they are the highest volume seller on the East Coast. It’s bad
    1
  3060. The market has changed, the hype is over, and Ford will now have to earn its spot back.
    1
  3061. Yep, looks pretty sweet but still no lift which misses the point entirely
    1
  3062. Thanks, I don’t need back up chimes at 6500 rpm haha
    1
  3063. Cash grab
    1
  3064. The whole industry is high on crack street!
    1
  3065. Haha one of my last vids talks about just that.
    1
  3066. I would too if I didn’t already have a truck. I want it but don’t need it. Great choice
    1
  3067. Yeah, they’re dumb.
    1
  3068. You and me both
    1
  3069. Yep, only exception I’ve ever seen was the Ford Maverick.
    1
  3070. It’s just the outer case. I have another one.
    1
  3071. We’re going to find out for sure on Monday. I’ve seen two different prices so far.
    1
  3072. It’s crazy, cash buyers are in a good spot.
    1
  3073. Yes they are!
    1
  3074. Good point mate
    1
  3075. Glad you got the truck you wanted
    1
  3076. They only make semi trucks in the USA
    1
  3077. Yeah I was able to get them off with some goo gone and hair dryer.
    1
  3078. It bit em for sure
    1
  3079. Australia pimped out their housing market and ruined it for generations. Been there many times and loads of them in Hawaii where I’m from.
    1
  3080. Haha lots of people agree
    1
  3081. Both are $$$$$
    1
  3082. 60k buyers in Q1 2025 didn’t care
    1
  3083. It goes up to $138k
    1
  3084. Yep, it’s lame as crap
    1
  3085.  @ronkemperful  that’s my Ford Ranger except I’ve got vinyl floors and seats, it’s awesome!
    1
  3086.  @chriswalker7356  yep, they can’t source the repair parts unfortunately.
    1
  3087. Haha yep
    1
  3088. Virginia
    1
  3089. $20k will only happen with a salvage title or 200k miles on it.
    1
  3090. Exactly! I’d rather have a simple truck.
    1
  3091. That’ll be a good setup
    1
  3092. You’re not wrong
    1
  3093. I’ve honestly thought about trying to get a set of tremor wheels and tires to see what that would look like. I’m shopping around now but I do enjoy the smooth ride I have currently
    1
  3094. Same with my 2004 Ranger 🤘🏼🤘🏼
    1
  3095. Nope!
    1
  3096. I owned the Tremor and XL Hybrid. Sold both of them. Neither was terrible but not great either. Made vids about it all
    1
  3097. Both have some good vehicles. Mazda3 and Impreza are good values.
    1
  3098. They were for sure.
    1
  3099. They’re going to have to do something to make them sell.
    1
  3100. One can hope
    1
  3101. Solid buy my friend
    1
  3102. Same here, I made a profit on all of them.
    1
  3103. They don’t like to refund anything
    1
  3104. I have priority code 10 on two and 19 on the other tremor. East coast 😁
    1
  3105. The market is starting to correct itself! Thanks for watching my friend!
    1
  3106. Yeah I’d agree with that. It’s not a terrible truck but their prices are batshit crazy.
    1
  3107. That sucks man, I'm sorry you had to let it go.
    1
  3108. You can get some really good deals right now tbh
    1
  3109. Thanks for the feedback. I used some new editing software. Hope you enjoy the hybrid when you get it.
    1
  3110. I’m not going to lie and covered up what’s happening on the ground. I defend him a lot but this just isn’t working out.
    1
  3111. I can afford a few of them mate. I’m a satellite engineer and retired military officer. I own a couple different businesses as well.
    1
  3112. They are out of control and Lezbo green is an awesome color on the trd pro imo. Army green is also really sweet
    1
  3113. Way better
    1
  3114. I watched of their build too, great stuff! Yeah man, the nostalgia can hit hard. I hope you can find one in the future at some point.
    1
  3115. This means f all for home prices. Stop touting this nonsense.
    1
  3116. All part of the plan
    1
  3117. That was the beginning of the end for a lot of people who stayed in the field. Glad you got out of it, and I hope you’re enjoying retirement.
    1
  3118. I have a MBA, and B.S. in Telecommunications Engineering. I also have a AA in General Studies (waste of time). Liberal Arts is an utterly useless major. I’m a Senior Satellite Communications Engineer. I also dropped out of high school after 9th grade. Lived in flop houses with other street kids until I joined the military at 18. I obtained all my education while on active duty and raising two children. I’m more than qualified to callout the ponytailed a-holes who lie to kids and burying them in debt for useless pieces of paper.
    1
  3119. You’re probably right! Best of luck with your order.
    1
  3120. My wife refuses to go minivan but I do think it’d suit her well. She’s diehard 4Runner.
    1
  3121. Not a ton of profit in these trims after the discounts it takes to move them. Fleets don’t care about wheels tbh. Smaller and cheaper the better for them. That’s why steelies are so popular. I don’t like them either.
    1
  3122. I own a 2025 M3 and it’s definitely the best affordable electric sedan on the market. I’ve driven them all.
    1
  3123. Hope you don’t have any issues with the truck. Thanks for watching.
    1
  3124. Sounds like a solid gig.
    1
  3125. Those are all good observations. Toyota doesn’t seem to go for efficiency with their trucks. They should but haven’t been. We shall see, leaves the market wipe open for someone to make a real hybrid full-size truck.
    1
  3126. Jack on vacation?
    1
  3127. I used to take my Tacoma trd or on jeep trails. The rear locker, MTS, crawl control made a huge difference. You’re right though, most people could get the cheaper truck and upgrade on your own. In reality, most people should just get a Maverick hybrid because they don’t use the trucks like trucks.
    1
  3128. For sure
    1
  3129. 100% Nissan Titan
    1
  3130. Honestly, for the really basic trucks, the Nissan frontier S is my pick. But most people would be better off just getting a Ford Maverick hybrid if they’re not really doing any towing. Ridgeline is a fn ripoff. GM twins are really competitive now. Colorado trailboss is probably the best value overall right now. You get a better version of a TRD Pro for $39k
    1
  3131. There’s good ones out there. Small percentage though.
    1
  3132. Yeah man, that commercial was awesome! Watched it many times. I’ll make some more vids on it that hardly anyone will watch it.
    1
  3133. You can get a nice BMW for that price too haha Toyota-Rolls Royce Merger happened apparently.
    1
  3134. Not yet but I’m sure it won’t take long.
    1
  3135. Yep
    1
  3136. Yeah it's crazy. The market adjustment is a big issue.
    1
  3137. That 21 Tremor is a solid truck man. Get yourself an older Ranger and restore down the road when you’ve got some time. They aren’t too expensive and even it’s ragged out, you can replace most anything that wears out in these and they just keep on going. I reviewed a 23 Tremor in my Ranger playlist, I actually liked it quite a bit.
    1
  3138. For sure but they claimed all sorts of heritage reasons for not doing it
    1
  3139. That’s a great deal my friend, well done!
    1
  3140. Yep, F-150 sales were up again 😑
    1
  3141. It feels faster than the new one for sure. Many people do prefer the FK8 but I’ve seen them sit around not selling as well. Try to test drive one at Carmax
    1
  3142. Didn’t even notice it haha
    1
  3143. Because they always knew it was a better car. Once it was canned, they figured no one would care.
    1
  3144. Bro, should have kept it. Just stick with your Land Cruiser and get a beater Ranger like mine for when you need a truck bed.
    1
  3145. My friend who’s a Toyota GM said it’ll be $65k at a minimum. He’s not happy with the direction they took and knows it’s going to impact him, his crew, and most of all, the customer. It’s complete and utter BS from a company who doesn’t need the money. Pure arrogance and greed.
    1
  3146. Those days are gone mate. Toyota now tries to pin failures onto the owners and not backup defects in design. They are far far less likely to issue a recall than Americans or European manufacturers.
    1
  3147. Yeah I hear you on that.
    1
  3148. I’m also reaching back for something less problematic.
    1
  3149. Tons of smart people who had no patience ha
    1
  3150. That demand he was claiming didn’t materialize. It’s been down over 16% and much more on certain models. Sales are up in China recently but still down YOY. Europe’s drop was crazy. I own a Tesla but I’m not a fanboy of any sort like this dude. Just showing what’s really happening on the ground.
    1
  3151. Most people don’t even know anything about that.
    1
  3152. That should be like $30k. Bet if you were some big corporation you’d get it for $25k behind closed doors.
    1
  3153. Bingo, but there’s also consumer expectations of having the latest BS tech.
    1
  3154. I really like Alfa as well
    1
  3155. Audi’s are a nice vehicle and could be a good lease if you can write it off. Keeping it longer term will result in higher maintenance costs and a massive depreciation hit. I don’t like the infotainment layout in the Audi. The interior quality and comfort is great though. GX550 doesn’t come close interior wise. If you’re loaded and don’t care about money, Q8. If you’re not, GX550. I’d rather drive the Q8 daily.
    1
  3156. Camaro is a better car
    1
  3157. Thanks Marty!
    1
  3158. You’d have to have a lot of cash for sure.
    1
  3159. Great trucks
    1
  3160. Doesn’t surprise me at all
    1
  3161. Yep, that’s the unfortunate reality of their brand nowadays.
    1
  3162. Yeah, you can’t beat it!
    1
  3163. 99 Ranger with V6 is awesome. Such great trucks, I really love them and should’ve been driving them all along.
    1
  3164. That was a Dji Pocket 2. I’m still learning how to use it. I used my iPhone previously.
    1
  3165. Yep, sitting pretty
    1
  3166. Yep, you made the right choice.
    1
  3167. My 2015 WRX manual was a pile of garbage. Never drove the auto.
    1
  3168. Awesome!
    1
  3169. They’ll be Teslas only ha
    1
  3170. It's hard to justify that kind of money these days, for sure.
    1
  3171. I appreciate that mate!
    1
  3172. It definitely looks better in person but I could see how it’s not for everyone. Thanks for watching!!
    1
  3173. Ford Maverick proved your point exactly. They make Ute and tiny trucks all over the world for dirt cheap. Problem in USA is safety regulations because of too many massive vehicles and highways 80+ mph.
    1
  3174. Dude, no way. I absolutely love the push button start as well as the smart key technology. Although in my 2004 ranger, I don’t mind that that has a physical key.
    1
  3175. Issue was that Ford was making $400 per Maverick. Will be at a major loss now. Nissan can’t afford to gamble with it.
    1
  3176. Totally agree.
    1
  3177. I’ve got an interesting lease video coming up. You’ll like it.
    1
  3178. Nope, ordered for MSRP and got a military discount from Ford.
    1
  3179. I’ve never seen a Cherokee cop car, where are you from?
    1
  3180. Yeah, book time is a joke. I’ll dive more into the warrant garbage in a future video.
    1
  3181. Yep, better off getting a GM 3800 vehicle. They’ll last just as long as the Lexus and cost a fraction to fix.
    1
  3182. I’m really excited for you. It’s gonna be awesome. Keep me posted on what you think of it. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
    1
  3183. Yeah it’s been pretty irritating but hopefully it gets fixed at some point.
    1
  3184. Not that I have read anywhere. I’ve been talking to their press reps and will ask about it.
    1
  3185. I really like those older Escapes
    1
  3186. Wow that’s terrible
    1
  3187. Glad you’re enjoying the truck. Yeah I’m sure there’s better memorials and museums out there. Toyotas are great, especially the older ones. Similar with Ford honestly, I can beat the crap out of the 2004 Ranger and she’ll keep going. Don’t have the same confidence with the new stuff.
    1
  3188. That doesn’t surprise me
    1
  3189.  @tomhockman6267  I also don’t agree with it. Like I said in the video, all for it when there’s true safety issues but a backup camera possibly malfunctioning, come on..
    1
  3190. Just a regular Apple Watch. Couple years old
    1
  3191. It has a spare underneath.
    1
  3192. Yep, it’s ridiculous
    1
  3193.  @UntamedMotors  we all need Tacoma’s in our lives mate!!
    1
  3194.  @happyfark8602  no camper shell for me. I used the crap out of my Ranger bed so I don’t think I’d want to sleep in it. 4Runner works well for sleeping if you’re like 5’10 or under.
    1
  3195. Yeah it’s ridiculous. We shall see happens. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
    1
  3196. I owned 2 SRT-4s. Mine were definitely noisy at low rpm. The exhaust in the SRT-4 helped a lot. That base motor is what I’m really referring to. Loved the SRT-4 though.
    1
  3197. I priced out the cheapest R1S I could get and it was $78,000 before fees
    1
  3198. Sounds about right 😑
    1
  3199. I own a 2016 Mazda 6, excellent car.
    1
  3200. Yeah it’s a tough call, if they dropped significantly on the used market, that would be better. Base TRD Off-road is $1,500 cheaper.
    1
  3201. Hey Johnny, thanks for the support bud!!
    1
  3202. I would too
    1
  3203. They are all the same from my experience.
    1
  3204. Yep, I’d consider a dirt cheap lease or something.
    1
  3205. A lot of those types milked all the freebies and scam pricing, they now want to escape before court dates begin.
    1
  3206. Yeah it’s going to be hard lesson for the few who bought it
    1
  3207. Yep it’s not great out there
    1
  3208. They would make a lot less money per transaction.
    1
  3209. If it’s going to bother you, I wouldn’t do it. I’ve got an old Ranger and it’s awesome.
    1
  3210. Fuel is one of the most important factors for buyers in every category.
    1
  3211. That’s a steal man. Great deal and I’m very happy for you. I honestly really enjoy driving the Ridgeline.
    1
  3212. It wasn’t my new Toyota. I’ll play the voicemail they left me today in my next video.
    1
  3213. Hence my comment about that. Especially if they can it soon.
    1
  3214. You’ll be taken care of. That TRX may end up being worth some good money down the road.
    1
  3215. I appreciate it my friend!
    1
  3216. Definitely
    1
  3217. Haha that’s a throw back 🤣
    1
  3218. $18,000 Mirage ain’t too bad. $22k Envista that’s near luxury is a great value. Kia K4 $22k & 40mpg.
    1
  3219. I don’t disagree. One of the main contributors to the price tag is the container shipping price gouging that gets passed onto the customer. I was a Coast Guard Officer and know a lot of people in that industry. Prices to ship went up 125% in some cases. In reality they were historically underpriced to keep their monopoly on commerce. 2020-present allowed them free rein to squeeze every penny out of the market. I’ll make a video about it.
    1
  3220. Travis, what do you think of this deal. $436k 4bd 3bth, 2500sqft .79acre lot with $12k worth of upgrades. Same home’s existing are selling at like $530k
    1
  3221. I’d give them $800 for it
    1
  3222. Thanks
    1
  3223. This was 100% that horrible woman who’s been a life long abuser. This guy should be let out. It’s a shame that she gets to live on and abuse others fn c#nt.
    1
  3224. Of course!
    1
  3225. Nice, those are $46k normally. Great truck
    1
  3226. Oh yeah, it’ll be a great truck for towing boats. Great shocks and a good amount of ground clearance, good payload etc.. Can’t say much bad about the truck. I do with the rear seats weren’t so upright and they put A/C vents back there for the kids & pets.
    1
  3227. Waiting on the AT4 to come in
    1
  3228. TRD Sport wheels look like they stole the older Frontier Pro-4x design. Look decent though.
    1
  3229. I don’t need a Frontier but I definitely want one.
    1
  3230. Great choice President Trump. I own a 2025 Model 3 myself. Excellent choice from an excellent brand.
    1
  3231. Their quality is in the toilet as well. You’re best buying 6-7 year old.
    1
  3232. That would be awesome to bring out a Ford Maverick competitor. Similar to Slate but not a garage EV with no range. Basic Harbody, 2 and 4 door, crank windows, 6spd, basic radio, $22k.
    1
  3233. I like the Rivian but there isn’t much room and that bed also sucks
    1
  3234. That’s fn sweet man!
    1
  3235. Now get a cheap Ford Ranger with a manual like me so you can have a truck bed.
    1
  3236. Noice!!
    1
  3237. It’s in the description. YouTube took down my original version when I called them out by name.
    1
  3238. That’s a great truck, enjoy it my friend!!
    1
  3239. That was Colorado loophole for EV credits
    1
  3240. USAID is a joke. I’ve spent over a decade dealing with them. They need to be canned entirely.
    1
  3241. Yep, it’s gross
    1
  3242. Going to suck
    1
  3243. Even a good V6 would be an upgrade but V8 would be epic. They could just plant the 5.0 from the F-150 and be good to go.
    1
  3244. Yep, I just bought a Camaro, and the trailboss was my top mid-size truck.
    1
  3245. It’ll never happen
    1
  3246. Thanks Marty
    1
  3247. That's a great comparison. The Maverick is a very appealing truck.
    1
  3248. Guy sucked big time
    1
  3249. Mine has gone up insane amounts. I’d hate to see what a $100k Ram would cost to ensure.
    1
  3250. They do markups instead, super smart plan
    1
  3251. What software are you using ?
    1
  3252. Still pretty good
    1
  3253. He’s a great mechanic but all mechanics are brainwashed to worship Toyota.
    1
  3254. It’s ridiculous
    1
  3255. Slow moving train for sure
    1
  3256. I guess they’re learning the hard way.
    1
  3257. It wasn’t a smart move but oddly wallstreet liked it. Nissan stock shot up when the deal was cancelled.
    1
  3258. It’s because they are using their eyeballs and stating facts. This looks way too much like a Camaro for Ford to get pass on it.
    1
  3259. That’s wild
    1
  3260. I think it looks good. I wouldn’t pay $60k for one. I paid $34k for my 2019 TRD OR. $41k for my 22 SR5
    1
  3261. Your dollar is getting hit hard. Hopefully that will pass.
    1
  3262. Fun cars but you have to pay to Play for sure
    1
  3263. Nice! Yeah I’m excited for that badboy to show up. I’ll give you a shout out when it does, thanks for watching.
    1
  3264. You’re probably correct my friend!
    1
  3265. Wow man, that’s pretty sad. I appreciate your insight on this. I’ll update everyone as this moves along. Thanks for watching
    1
  3266. That lady has clearly never lived in Hawaii.
    1
  3267. They did do a good job with transmission ratios and tuning. 240hp 340tq is decent in a truck that’s not crazy heavy.
    1
  3268. We have been for sure
    1
  3269. I’m happy you’re loving the truck. I also love my old Ranger.
    1
  3270. After 10 months sure
    1
  3271. Yep, it’s rare and those who find them will be more loyal than a golden retriever. Great that there are those shops around still.
    1
  3272. They are solid cars for sure!
    1
  3273. My 2004 XL 2wd was $2,500 used with 150k on it. Great pickups. Go watch my Ranger playlist.
    1
  3274. Kind of hurts my back to move things in out of the rear window but yeah it’s definitely doable. I’ve owned mostly luxury vehicles so I’ve gotten a bit spoiled with features like power lift gates. Glad you love the truck though and thanks for watching.
    1
  3275.  @Rockstar_Guita_Effects  yep, it’s a sad result
    1
  3276. There’s big discounts that dealers are doing on Gladiators. That’s not the same as what’s being advertised. These people are claiming that OEM will be dropping their MSRP’s. $20k off on a Rubicon that’s at least $66k is a great deal. Like I said in the video, there’s plenty of deals to be had. 60% off of MSRP, is a pipe dream though.
    1
  3277. You scored an amazing deal!!
    1
  3278. 17city 22hwy
    1
  3279. It’s a new series I’ll be doing. People get duped into this situation all day long. Hope I can help a couple of them at least.
    1
  3280. I really like Wranglers if you keep them cheap and simple. Great recipe, they can pump em out easier the electronic packed garbage.
    1
  3281. Of course they’re reliable. 2023 SR5 is a good choice, if you plan on keeping it forever, might as well just get 2WD if you don’t need 4WD. It’s much less desirable and you’ll be able to negotiate a better price on a SR or SR5. I would personally get a base TRD Off-road. I feel the suspension rides better after owning two of them and a TRD Sport.
    1
  3282. That’s terrible man. I hope you’re back on your feet now. I’m an engineer as well and people don’t realize that it’s a highly specialized field and truly depends on your niche if you can find a job or not.
    1
  3283. With conversion rates, this would be over $100k CAD.
    1
  3284. Haha do you think I’m being too hard on Ford?
    1
  3285. Hahaha if that works for him I guess ha
    1
  3286. Most OEMs do that unfortunately. It’s really stupid and doesn’t save much money.
    1
  3287. It was a very specific vehicle my wife wanted. This dealer traded for it with another in Alabama. I go all over the country to get deals. I’ve got a pretty affordable transport company I use as well. I could saved maybe $500 but I was bed ridden from surgery.
    1
  3288. That’s great, they are awesome vehicles. Thanks watching
    1
  3289. Yep it’s crap
    1
  3290. Yep really sound investment
    1
  3291. I own two Ford Trucks right now, one is a Ranger ha
    1
  3292. Yep, it's going to be a hard lesson for them.
    1
  3293. Thanks for watching my friend
    1
  3294. Far far better than the Kia EV’s
    1
  3295. I put it up on the screen right at the end.
    1
  3296. Me too bud
    1
  3297. They don’t care unfortunately
    1
  3298. I go to the twin cities and SF Bay Area where there’s essentially no military presence. It’s the same thing and even worse for some segments.
    1
  3299. Great to hear it’s been a good truck for you. I personally like the Mojave the best.
    1
  3300. I used to make a lot money buy new Tacomas, 4Runners, and Wranglers and reselling them. Gotta strike while the iron is hot and know your market. West Coast, Hawaii and Guam, Tacomas will hold their value better, even these garbage ones.
    1
  3301. It is a solid car.
    1
  3302. I drove it down there before, it’s solid!
    1
  3303. Yep, I was being kind to the guy ha
    1
  3304. They need to check their pride and make deals
    1
  3305. Yeah I agree
    1
  3306. He’s not some different person all the sudden.
    1
  3307. People will be waiting around for a major disappointment.
    1
  3308. 1984 mate
    1
  3309. The market is going to be impacted by tariffs pretty heavily. That might weigh in their favor and the discounts won’t be that great. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
    1
  3310. It is. I like the power liftgate and cooled seats
    1
  3311. Yep, it’s awesome
    1
  3312. Equally equipped, the msrp was $39k. I shopped them heavily. You must have gotten a discount from the dealer.
    1
  3313. Haha I could buy many of these sweetheart. Not your typical broke YouTuber.
    1
  3314. Mississippi is a modern version of Rhodesia. There’s no functioning infrastructure anymore, but all the “racists” are gone.
    1
  3315. Great trucks
    1
  3316. Yep, the YouTube crowd loves the clicks it brings too. Utter nonsense.
    1
  3317. My daily is a 2004 Ford Ranger, love it!
    1
  3318. They’re going to inflate even more
    1
  3319. Yeah but most people can’t wait that long. They will come off that markup if you’re serious about buying I bet. They will still demand all their BS nitrogen in the tires and nonsense though.
    1
  3320. I had a Bronco Sport Heritage Press vehicle that was nearly $47k and the transmission was slipping at 6,500 miles. I had to bring it to the shop and didn’t get to shoot vids with it. The ride wasn’t great but it was the off-road version. The basic with the smaller engine 2wd should be $25k max. I do like the styling but would never own one. Glad you like yours though.
    1
  3321. Yeah though do, I just prefer the look but the maintenance is definitely more. Thanks for watching!
    1
  3322. Never said it’s a terrible vehicle. This is about showing people how much it will cost them over an average ownership length.
    1
  3323. Glad you like it!
    1
  3324. Mine is like 50/50 basically but definitely see why you’d go that route. Thanks for watching.
    1
  3325. I think both Canadian and American dealers would like that. They can then jack up the price of their inventory.
    1
  3326. The Maverick styling is much better imo. At least it’s not another crappy suv though.
    1
  3327. We in the Coast Guard never drew down in Iraq and the Arabian gulf. Been there since 2000. She’s a do nothing VP and will be worse if they steal the election again.
    1
  3328. Yep
    1
  3329. I bet that looks great 👍🏼

  3331. No it’s my camera mount, it’s backwards. I’m getting some new stuff.
    1
  3332. Yeah, they've definitely gotten heavy.
    1
  3333. Why’s that?
    1
  3334.  @samuelbutterworth4303  I have a medical condition (car accident) that caused my slowed speech. Been to years of speech therapy, working on it. Silly titles are usually a joke with my wife. The 1,500 mile mark is when the vehicle starts to show what it’s going to be like for the remainder of your ownership. Loads of other vids with this mark. I’m basically calling Ford out so they improve and their customers don’t feel alone when they are getting f’d over by them. I do appreciate your honesty and feedback though. Thanks for watching and I hope you continue to do so my friend.
    1
  3335. That’s the plan
    1
  3336. It’s expensive for sure
    1
  3337. There’s problems for sure
    1
  3338. That’s the mafia playbook to a T.
    1
  3339. Yep, it was abandoned by the buyer and no one wants to step in.
    1
  3340. Glad you’re enjoying the truck and were able to get money off.
    1
  3341. Just going to get worse my friend
    1
  3342. I own a 2025 Model 3. This is real world costs mate!
    1
  3343. Thanks for comments. Yeah I love the service arrogance’s. I was a diesel engineer onboard massive ships, figuring out trucks is about 1/500th of the complexity. I was also an automotive technician but didn’t even bother explaining that to the jerks. I had been looking for a 3rd gen Ranger for a long time as well. Either destroyed or insanely expensive like you said. “They know what they’ve got” 😂
    1
  3344. Haha I think it’s literally everyone. The weather up here makes people think they need them. They don’t 😂
    1
  3345. Had a 2009 Ram 1500 Laramie. Great truck but the fuel economy was god awful. I was paying like $6/gal in Hawaii at the time too.
    1
  3346. It’s a lot of history to go off into the abyss. Sad
    1
  3347. $100 off of msrp? I’d take it back and demand like $15k off
    1
  3348. I test drove one and thought it was kind of lame. The video I made for it did poorly and the comments were that no one gives a crap about something like this. I’d own one if it were 40% less price and 100 miles more range. It’s under 200 miles in the real world. I unlisted the video .
    1
  3349. It is, same with the Honda’s.
    1
  3350. I love the Xb man, always have. I’ll see if I can get my hands on one for a review.
    1
  3351. Yeah it could have been worse
    1
  3352. Thanks I really appreciate that
    1
  3353. Countdown until it’s in your driveway
    1
  3354. I think a new platform would make it a lot more competitive, but who knows.
    1
  3355. Yeah I bet that is nice. Like I said in the video, it’s the ticket for most people. $75-$90k monster trucks to buy some 2x4’s and a dryer. Total waste.
    1
  3356. Haha I am but it’s because of their driving dynamics and the sheer amount of total garbage they compete against. I’m more of a BMW fan but do love the Giulia!
    1
  3357. Haha, I’m a satellite communications engineer and retired military officer. I don’t make a living from YouTube. I show people what’s happening on the ground, not in the headlines. Thanks for watching mate!
    1
  3358. Yep, it’s completely delusional
    1
  3359. I owned a 2016 328i 6MT for many years and had zero issues. Sold it for what I paid for it too. That was during the crazy times. It was literally 1 of 2 manuals for sale in all of North America.
    1
  3360. Haha yep, it’s crappy man
    1
  3361.  @freedomisntfree_44  Drive the GMC Canyon and then drive this. You’ll see what I am talking about.
    1
  3362. You can pay for it through Caredge. I get access to through my small business from the same sources dealers have.
    1
  3363. Watch my first cybertruck video. I go into that. https://youtu.be/5BAh69en5NM?si=kOQtDJW5k54DGGxe
    1
  3364. It is, about $7-8k more than it should be
    1
  3365. Yep, Buick is more reliable than they are now. That’s not something I would have ever expected.
    1
  3366. That’s a great lease my friend!
    1
  3367. Yeah I meant to put that up on the screen. I had just gotten out of the one with 19’s and the spare tire. Thanks for watching and commenting.
    1
  3368. I was planning to buy one for Mrs. Rev Nation. I didn’t even bother filming my test drive because it was total garbage. TRD Off-Road rides like dog sh!t. I’ll wait until I drive the other trims to dive into that. No flat load floor, less rear seat room than our CR-V, $70k after all the bull and interest. Ultra hard pass!
    1
  3369. Same here mate! I really love my Model 3.
    1
  3370. We shall see. A lot of other countries are really fearful of them. Willing to make deals to avoid it.
    1
  3371. Very sound advice mate!
    1
  3372. Really excited for you. I’m sure you’ll love it. Black appearance package is a great option.
    1
  3373. That was a loaner vehicle and it’s garbage.
