Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

That truck is cherry. In many ways. 15,000 miles.... wow. I noticed that dealer and private lots around here are empty. Just like the semi truck lots. I guess everyone is flush with cash.

My Mom told me the other day that she thought the Chevy dealer down the street was going out of business because she didn’t see hardly any vehicles on the lot. lol In normal times would seem true.

 

If you plan on doing any serious off roading with that, remove that plastic piece under the front bumper.

 

The market is crazy. I sold my 19 challenger today and as soon as I find a replacement truck my 1500 will be gone.

 

I am jealous. Two years ago I wanted Toyota Tundra but ....my wife talked me out of it and I got Camry instead...now I am thinking about "life is good" and not to waste good moments. Especially, that they promise good price on the used Camry.

 

Y’all are living the good life indeed. My F-350 is a year 2000 and my F-150 is a 2002.

 

Nissan and Toyota are getting left behind in the truck segment. Toyota is putting too much faith in the hydrogen economy and ignoring electrification and diesel. Nissan is content to keep producing the same Frontier they've been making for years, and the Titan got a 5/8 ton Cummins platform that nobody asked for, which was shortly discontinued. The big 3 have already produced mini diesels that can tow more than the average pickup driver ever needs, and they're moving onto electrification.

My 2018 2.8L diesel 4x4 Colorado gets between 30-34 mpg empty on the highway, and 25-30 city. It's rated for 7600 lbs towing, and gets around 14-16 mpg pulling that. This truck can handle just about everything that a 5.7L Tundra or 5.6L Titan can. The new diesel powered Silverado and F-150 are even better. I'm still waiting on the specs and pricing for the electric F-150. I predict it won't match Tesla's pickup in performance, but I actually prefer the Chevy Bolt user interface over the Tesla Model 3, so I expect the truck to be better in other areas.

 

Good luck, nobody has any inventory, I have another truck, it's older but still very reliable and presentable. I had no emotional attachment to it so to the high bidder it went.

 

The thing is once you can afford the new truck you don't need it.

 

If I buy a pickup truck, I will buy a Toyota. I want something that lasts and not interested in the latest and greatest. Kinda like I prefer my old pre-egr engines vs the newest fancy ones.

The new technology is great, until you have to fix it. Thats why Tundra is still very popular.
