This NEW CHEAP TRUCK Just Killed Toyota & Ford

A SMALL PICKUP TRUCK WAR IS STARTING AND THERE'S A NEW CHEAP PICKUP TRUCK that I think is actually worth buying in 2024. Over the past few years full size trucks have been getting bigger, fancier, and more expensive. But in 2024 sales of these overpriced trucks have slowed to a crawl and buyers are looking for cheaper options when it comes to the trucks they buy. The small truck market is starting to make a huge comeback and we now have more options than ever.

Who cares that Toyota sells a $10, 000 truck in other countries? I can't buy it here so it might as well not exist.

the Maverick started at $19, 999 Ford didn't promise a $25, 000 truck they promised a sub-20k and failed to deliver.

This crap is all OVERPRICED! 30, 000= is WAY to much for a entry level midsize truck!

I don’t want a 4 door truck, I want a 2 door with a longer bed

I see he’s caught in the “bells and whistles” department. Now in my 60s, I have learned (oftentimes the hard way) that every button, touchscreen, and gimmick included in newer vehicles is an invitation to failure.

And having to go through submenus to change the cab temperature? Totally unsafe!

They are overbuilding vehicles with a ton of what I call “computerized crap!” And now builders are starting to charge SUBSCRIPTIONS to use their software! What kind of self-respecting consumer will even tolerate such abuse???

My newest vehicle is a 2005. Reliability becomes more of an issue every year, but repairs aren’t thousands of dollars each time!

“Bring back simplicity, ” I say!

I just want a four door, V6, stick shift, no bells and whistles truck. Apparently that is a lot to ask.

We are buying older truck 20+ years and put a new motor and trans. Its allot cheaper to repair.

Everyone wants a Very Simple TRUCK!! 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive! An actual bed that can fit 4X8 plywood and or drywall. I want Knobs ( screw the Tv Screen). I Want to Be able to reach into the bed without having a Damn stepladder. We Want BASIC!!!

There is nothing cheap about paying $45, 000 on a pickup truck. Even the Maverick at $31, 000 is too expensive. Trucks used to be basic and utilitarian. They were designed for work, not family haulers. The truck market is in luxury car territory. Trucks have lost their identity, and people purchase them as status symbols. It is just sad.

I believe Toyota made a mistake removing the V8 engine from their full-size truck. Now, they made another mistake removing their V6 engine from the midsize truck. The future sales of these trucks will show what a mistake that was.

They just need to go back to the mini trucks they built in the 80s. A simple 4 cylinder 150hp. Simple interior . They want do it because. A truck like the Isuzu, Mazda or S10. Would kill all other sales. A simple mini truck simple engine with a 5 or 6 speed standard. A/C and manual window options. That we can add the after market parts to upgrades we want. Just give us a simple truck that's affordable.... It's what we want

"Cheap Truck"? I saw them in concert! ... Oh wait, that was 'Cheap Trick'. Nevermind.

[psyekl]

I have a family member with a 1979 Toyota pickup, 2-seater, 4 cylinder, long bed, 3/4 ton. It is unbelievably useful. I don't care about looks, I need something that is built for work. I want small trucks like this again.

Here in the Philippines, toyota sells a simple, small 4x4, 4-door pickup called the Toyota Hilux J. It has a 2.4L diesel engine, 6-speed manual transmission, rear diff lock, manually adjusted side mirrors, manual windows, very simple 2-din stereo, and an aircon. No bells and whistles, but it's exactly what we need for farm use. Best of all, it can be had brand new for just around $21, 000.

[dcpete]

He talks like 45000 before taxes is cheap lol.
Bring a basic single cab 4 cyl stickshift rwd for 20 grand

For the cost of a new truck, I can drag one out of the desert, put a modern drivetrain in it, have the differentials professionally rebuilt by Moser engineering, have the interior reupholstered, convert it to all LED lights, upgrade to 4 wheel disc brakes, have it professionally painted AND have money left over. It also costs less to register and insurance cost less.

Back in 1988 I bought a new Ford F-350 4x4 Diesel cab and chassis for my business. I paid 17, 600 dollars for it. My payment was 376.52 a month. Total cost with financing was 23, 600 dollars. I thought that was a crazy bad decision back then. Lol.

I worked at a Chevy dealer in 1970 in "new car make ready" The trucks came from the factory with no bed and no A/C, no power brakes, no power steering and no chrome packages. The customer would pick what they wanted and I would build it. I wish some company would sell a BASIC truck and let the buyer pick what they want. I know we have to have computers (crap) and other "safety" things but i'm sure a simple basic car and truck could be made and be much cheaper.

I bought a 2023 Frontier 4x4, 4 door with the 6' box. I sold my 2013 Tacoma to buy it. My Tacoma had about 150, 000 miles on it, and I regretted getting rid of it. Beware of the new Frontier. The bed to cab distance on mine was 1/2" off and I didn't notice it for about a month. When I put a tool box on it, I noticed it. Athens Nissan tried to fix it and couldn't adjust it enough. They sent it to Athens Paint and Body, and they couldn't fix it either. They wouldn't buy it back and wouldn't fix it. I sold it for a loss and moved on, but I was highly disappointed in Nissan's customer service. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never buy another one. Go with another company. I posted pictures of the truck on my Google review of Athens Nissan.

I picked up a certified 22 Frontier 4x4 about 6 months ago for the mid 20’s. Love it! I had to fly 1300 miles to Idaho to get that deal but it was worth it.
