because the majority of the people cant afford a, $80-$100k truck. prices are disgusting.

Saw the other day the average age of vehicle ownership in America is 12.5 years. The highest it’s ever been since they have been tracking it. People are fixing and keeping their vehicles longer because they cost so much now.
Great presentation JB for doing one “off the cuff” man I learn so much watching your stuff. Keep up the good work 👍

Been buying new trucks since 1990. The manufacturers have priced themselves out of.most people's price range. I realize the greed if unions have driven the.prices through the roof, but they are ridiculous now!

[Dagger-Moose]

They only want to order outrageously expensive trim levels where I am at. Plus many times on build your own situations you cant just add one feature, they want to force other stuff in it. Bout like cable TV and look what happened to them.

[DOUGLASGILBERT-di]

The best way to purchase a heavy duty truck is to have it built with your specifications and order it from the factory. This is the way you get rid of all the extras which are installed on the trucks that run the cost up. Most companies don't need all the extras.

PRICE!!! That is the ONLY reason truck sales have slowed!! I sat for over a year and a half waiting for prices to come down and finally threw in the towel and had to pay dumb. Not everyone wants to spend $65-95k for a truck!!

[JohnDiMartino]

They are over priced and they are in general the least reliable HD trucks produced in over 25 years . Too many gadgets that cost money . The diesels are far too expensive and ppl a have had enough with their emissions problems and fuel sensitivity dur to a weak cp4 pump. In 2020 GM and Ford didn’t change the game they simply started selling 1 ton trucks with 3/4 ton stickers. It’s still a 1 ton anything over 10000 gvwr is first off subject to DOT regulations when used in business and second classified as a category 3 which is a 1 ton. Insurance companies use 10000 as the number as well, so in the end they did this because the trucks are getting heavier and ppl are getting smarter realizing a 3/4 ton loaded Ram Cummins is only as capable as most base half tons payload wise. Consumers are realizing Ram is so far behind due to the limited power output weak transmission and limited payload, there’s really not much reason to buy a Ram 3/4 t with a Cummins for heavy work it’s basically a HD grocery getter.

Been in the automotive business for over 20 years. When the economy gets bad everyone who drives a truck because they want to swaps out to something smaller. People who pull an excavator or a trailer for a living still purchase the correct truck for them because their livelihood doesn’t get lighter.

My family purchases new cars often and we put over 100k on all of them. It is always exciting to make a purchase and look for a good deal. Not any more. Our last purchase was a 2021 Power Wagon and we dont plan on making any purchases in the near future because of cost, financing, lack of incentives, and quality of cars (such as the Tundra engine recalls).

Thks for another informative vid.
U know ur stuff about RV towing that most stores haven't got a clue. Learned some thing new again.

Great interior cam work too.

Retired & Following u from my Porch in Missip.

Man, I'm just looking for a 1/2 ton, but I found your Rebel vs. Tremor vids and started down the rabbit hole on your channel. I learned so much from this! It's funny because I grew up in rural Arkansas around farmers and cattlemen, but my dad was a banker so I didn't learn the practical reasons behind why so many guys had duallies. I bought a 2018 Ram 1500 Rebel back in 2017 and loved it, but last month some idjit hydroplaned into me at 70 mph and sent me spinning down the freeway into the concrete barrier. Considering the speeds and the forces involved, that truck protected me well. Only had a sore neck. I digress. I'm obviously in the market for another truck now. I know the 5.7 hemi gets some hate for the lifters and the "tick", but I put 115k miles on mine and never had any notable mechanical issue. Only problems I had were a delaminating touch screen and a weird issue with some O^2 sensor. Hard to imagine getting anything other than a 5th gen Ram with the 5.7 hemi.

JB I like your content but I think ur honestly a little out of touch because u are doing well financially. It is near impossible to buy these trucks at this price and rates. Without the skyrocketing inurance considered.... Unless u can write them off in a business. So what u are seeing is the difference in people like myself that pulled from the market totally that are not business owners, even w six figures.. 1k plus monthly payments are just too much for a family. Only business owners or 200k plus guys are buying this overpriced crap. Got my old truck keeping that up. W market starting to turn a little I may look late next year at a mid range priced truck. Still waaay too high for most.

[rickyhicks]

Another informative video, and yes I like the camera view. Keep your great videos coming

[nathanprice]

I remember at the end of the year there was discounts off msrp, you could get a good deal on brand new. Now your lucky too get it at msrp. Very sad. 1, 000k payments ain’t in the cards. My house and family are way more important then a depreciating asset When there’s a fire sale or big discount on these. And interest rates go down. I’ll buy 1. But until then I’ll fix my old truck.

[JasPlun]

People are getting smart and realizing if they keep paying the higher prices they will keep jacking up the prices. None of the HD trucks are worth over 40 grand it only costs them about 20 grand to build one yet they sell them for 80-90 grand and people pay it. Boggles my mind how America has forgotten if you want prices to come down STOP buying them like they are now. They sit long enough the price will drop. High interest charges and inflation have also smothered folks.

I have a 23’ F250 w/6.8L V8. GVWR of 10, 500 lbs and payload 3, 822 lbs. I tow a 32” 8, 000 lbs travel trailer. I got plenty of payload for hitch weight and cargo of family (wife + 3 kids) generator, cooler, miscellaneous stuff. For my situation my 3/4 ton is great. Also the 6.8L has plenty of pulling power going up mountain ranges.

[MB]

I was in the market and was fully committed to buying a brand new F250. Then I found a 2020 Lariat with every option Lariat offers and bought it instead. I saved OVER $30, 000. I’m glad I made the choice I did

[FJB]

Its really simple, wages have not kept up with the prices of everything, inflation is through the roof and your pay has fallen way behind

[SeanBaxley-wmlc]

They cost way too much and the people who need or can buy them already have.

[ericl]

I bought my 1999.5 F250 7.3 manual for $7500 during the 2008 crash. Paid cash. I still own it and it still runs great. Almost no repairs over the years. Normal maintenance only. A new F250 or F350 would be nice, but I can't justify it financially. I would rather put that money in CDs or Treasuries and get 5+ percent.
