Automakers wonder why their trucks aren’t selling??..it’s obvious

It’s getting to the point where more and more people need to start using public transportation.

2030 is coming.

 

I never thought I would would’ve bought a Toyota, but it ended up buying a Tacoma a year ago, Seemed like a smart thing to do.

 

I’d buy one tomorrow if I saw it on the lot.

 

I’ve been watching this one for awhile.
A couple of months back the stealership was trying move this one for $90K!!!

I talked to one Nissan dealer in my area and even their sales personnel admitted that the Z was overpriced from the get-go!
MSRP is $40K!
(The link says the page is unavailable but it works for me)

 

This is what Toyota needs here. The problem is that it would have to be built here in the U.S. or Mexico to get around the chicken tax. Add in the safety equipment needed to comply with federal regulations and the price would go up!

Imagine waiting for these to become legal stateside!lol

 

Well let’s see the prices for cars once the new wages are calculated into the price.

 

I just bought 23 Tacoma for $38541.69 out the door. No financing.

My wife just bought a 23 4runner at $44269.00 out the door. But she financed at 5.45% and it will cost us 57k when all done...IF IF IF we take the entire 72 months which we will try really really hard not to do.

I shopped around for months. No one could match the cost/value/interest rate of Toyota.

The 4Runner is built in Japan. The Tacoma is built in California for now.

It really came down to no choice except these IMO.

My second choice (first if they would have dealt with me) was a 2 door 2 wheel drive 5.0 F-150 with no tow package...but they just could not or would not deal with me and the Toyota is a 4 door 4WD with a tow package!

 

Toyota does make excellent vehicles in my opinion, currently the vast majority of my income is from hauling Toyota. When I was ready for a new pickup last March I would have considered a Tundra, but the models I was interested in were not available. They were sold long before I got them to the dealer. The trucks with option packages I would have bought cost as much or more than my GMC did.
