How much do you think this truck retails for?

[MetroBrah]

Trucks are a luxury srs. What did you expect it to be?

[Fozzy13]

No one pays retail.

Retail price is just a number. Chevy does rebates and incentives which brings the real price down a bunch...plus any incentives a dealer may have.

I think Honda is the only maker that doesnt do rebates

[iamsocreepy]

trade-ins are huge among truck enthusiasts.

luxury vehicles have entered the truck market, many are pushing 6 figures.


I love how Tacomas look, might buy a used one ~15k

I just did a search on autotrader and within 100 miles of me, at that price point with a 6 cylinder and 4wheel drive, the lowest mileage is 118k...

I'm old enough to remember when trucks were for poor people who worked for a living instead of bros with sideways hats and millionaires.

[darkninja67]

Some project manager I know had a Ford Platinum Edition F250 or something like that. He said it cost him $80,000

LOL

For a truck and an American POS at that.

[Jacobcapra]

not reading the thread, but the 2020 GMC Canyone starts at $22,000


And lol at you thinking tacomas are old and busted. The tacoma is the best light duty pickup on the market, and you can get a sick one for <35K.


either a. you've got literally no idea what you're talking about or b. someone tried to get you to pay like double the MSRP on a truck.

The "Toyota Tax" is real. Used 4Runners are the same.

[nrowles]

Damn. My friend just got a hooked up Silverado 1500 and was in the high 40's out the door. I've decided to keep my 2007 until it dies. New trucks are crazy priced. I'd like a 3/4 ton diesel but they are $60k new.

[Nonsense916]

I like my Tacoma

[RICHSTRONG]

Fkn LOL @ a COlorado. I remember window sticker shopping a few years back when the Colorado just came out. Fkn amazed me that the sticker was actually more than a Full sized F150 and the gas mileage was about 1-2 mph different. I was like ayyyyyyy lmao...who TF would ever buy that? Lo and behold years later and I do see a few out there with complete idiots driving them.

But 2wd pickups are basically useless in certain parts of the country in winter. Most 4wd trucks are lumped into overpriced packages.

quick google search, aka you'd be mentally unstable to actually pay this price.


2020 GMC Canyon
3.6L V6
4WD
Extended Cab
MRSP: $31,100


2019 GMC Canyon, new
3.6L V6
Crew Cab
4WD
SLT package - aka fully loaded
price: $35,321



So you can get a brand new 2020, 4-door, 4WD Canyon with the larger engine for probably <30K. Or the badass version with a longer bed and fully loaded interior for probably <33K.


How is that overpriced?

[freeburn]

Don't really like that their little 160hp 4 cyl still only gets 18mpg. Everything seemed dated for the prices they want and my local dealer is a real slimeball factory. Then again, wtf. The entire market seems nutso.

Who the fuk buys the 4 cyl Tacoma...

[Kawhilights]

didnt you say you drove a poverty s2000

Yeah, but you're intentionally not listing his assets. Remember that he owns his phone outright.

Back on topic though, a full sized 4x4 is crazy expensive. I am interested in the new Bronco though.

If you have a normal size driveway or street parking, I don't know why anyone would prefer a Colorado/midsize truck over a full size.

BRB Little engines work so fkin hard to push the weight of a truck they get damn near the same mileage
BRB knees in my armpits
BRB Short wheelbase bumpy bump
BRB 4' truck bed LOL but I got this tinfoil extender
BRB payload capacity to haul three bags of sand
BRB BRB

DO NOT get a small pickup. Might as well just get a car with a big trunk and back seats that fold down.

Friend of mine bought the Nissan Frontier a few years back. Then he bought a boat a year or so later. He can't pull the boat out of the water when the boat is full with gas. He had to call a tow truck one time to help him. He said it was quite embarrassing.

I bought a RAM in 2014. Paid $34k out the door. Only thing I would do different is get a 4x4. If you buy a truck get a real truck. Tacoma would be the lightest I would go.

I like the Frontier for smaller jobs like hauling trash to the land-fill or transporting a sofa etc. And for day to day commute, the body style looks cool AF.

[thehardg00dbye]

Get a 2015 Toyota Tacoma. Last year of the second gen.

[Evolutionary1]

It's the Diesel Engine. Gas are way cheaper

How is that overpriced?

30k for a compact truck is overpriced. Period.

[TBO1313]

Trucks in general have gotten insane. Used 4wd trucks are where its at. They hold their value forever and all of the fullsize ones are very reliable even high mileage. Tacos are awesome but people act like they're made of gold

[Beararms]

Trucks are overpriced period. They used to be somewhat affordable but now even small fully loaded trucks are in the 50k+ range.
Best bet is to get a used one that is a few years old.

[freeburn]

30k for a compact truck is overpriced. Period.

Its not really that crazy. Most new cars start around 20... Fully loaded cars end up near 30, why wouldn't a body on frame truck fully loaded with a luxury interior and the capability to tow and use 4x4 be near 35k? Not even mentioning some of these trucks come with locking differentials, air ride, hill descent, etc. Most new trucks get pretty damn good gas milage also.

[gixxer0.6g]

That's not even a truck. That's a picky-up

[faxanadu]

This one is $56k... and it's used. brb only $1000/mo for 72 months. Who can say no to that?

See these types of trucks everywhere i look in Texas. Considering the average household income is like 50K/year ... that's a lot of broke motha-fuk'as. Nothing like wasting a whole year and a half (after tax) of paychecks on a depreciating asset. Good lord.

Just thinking about how nutty that is ... is beyond amazing. Millions of Americans have been brainwashed into putting in 8-12 hours of work every day for 1.5-2 years straight ... and all that labor/time is essentially going to pay off just one depreciating asset. Most people don't own their cars... their cars own them. What a life suck.

[Boyguy]

I think those big shiny trucks are cool and all, but you would really have to be some kind of a tradie to think they are worth 85k. At that point you may as well buy a corvette, at least that will stand out. I see plenty of pickups on the road and the expensive ones are nice yeah but you can get a used $10k truck that looks almost the same lol. Blows my mind the way people blow money

[skinnybig2]

Yeah I wanted a Tacoma but they are overpriced and I don't really like the look of the new ones. A used 2007ish v6 4wd would be great, too bad they are all 200k miles...

[KidGogeta]

those mid size trucks are waste of money imo, sure they are easier to drive, maybe a little bitter on mpg and hold resale value a bit better

but compared to buying a half ton during truck month its a rip off. You can get some crazy deals during truck months

The margin on luxury pickups is crazy,

example is Ford they double the price of the F150 from XLT to Limited with the exact same options (same quality of buttons and everything) you can get in the ford focus for a few thousand more

[TBO1313]

And people still want 15k for them lol. It's cheaper just to get a fullsize. The gas mileage isn't much different but the towing capacity is

[IlChosenOne]

Car companies are cashing in big time on that tradie money

didnt you say you drove a poverty s2000

watchout your comments bro he's probably got over a hundred grand under the hood of that thing
