tcg: where eerybody is IT yet they know diesel engines, new car pricing, how to walk away from mortgages, justify sled purchases, and walk on water...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

coming from you, you should agree the prices are outragous

 

[DEEZUZ]

price a diesel pick up. $70k easily. now look at a calender. its 2019.

this isnt 1998 where a new truck was $17k. you also dont make $13/hr like you may have in 1998. gas doesnt cost $1.29/gal like it did in 1998. its 2019

 

[The Beast]

Boom

 

[DEEZUZ]

you may not believe in anything besides what you own or type, but a calender is legit with numbers and stuff

Gas is only 70 cents more....

some people do make 13/hr still..

technology and manufacturing has gotten better AND cheaper....yet prices go up?

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

what does a calendar have to do with anything?

so with your wonderful calculations based on calendars.....trucks will cost 140k in 10 years!

OOOOOKKKKK BUDDDY

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Who cares no need to get upset I’m sure most of us here will never be in the market for a new ranger.

 

[Yaj Yak]

honestly for what you get in "mid size pickup land" for 40k, they are absolutely 100% overpriced as fuck.

any 40k car is going to have so much more tech/features.

boil it down, pickup trucks make the manufacturers crazy money.

they are priced the way they are, not because it costs a crazy amount to make them, but because people are happy enough to spend the money.


also. diesel pickup trucks are available plenty nice for under 70k.

i mean, there are what, at least 5-6 brand new colorado's which were purchased on here?

I was talking about the boys arguing about pricing

 

[EmersonHart13]

Raises Hand.

And some tacomas too

PS TCG only buys full size trucks, and date supermodels, and make billions of dollars.

 

[ragingclue]

I also paid way too much for a midsize truck. poundmetoo

Only thing I don't like about the Ranger is I'd like more configuration and engine options.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I like that the Ranger has the turbo 4. I hope GM puts their new Turbo 4 in the Colorado down the road.

I just think out of the Tacoma Colorado and Ranger I find the Ranger to be the least appealing aesthetically. I think the Ridge line looks better. #fightme

well and that it's a ford.

[EmersonHart13]

When we shopped i found the Tacoma to be a bit too cozy for my lanky ass self (6'6") and the Ridgeline just didn't look right for the newest generation, I prefer the nose from the first gen. Frontier was too old... Ram and Ford had nothing to offer and Im glad we didn't wait. Colorado was the right pick for us. Oh and the Canyon was too blingy, I'm not into the chrome that much.... Every time I see Canyon taillights I am happy we bought the Chevy.

I can’t like this enough

Just because the market is set high doesn’t mean folks should accept it.

I say don’t make the purchase and wait for the “new shiny toy” to begin to tarnish. Then buy.

Didnt Chevy / Dodge just run a $10k - $12k discount on Silverado / Ram last month? Isn’t Ford trying to unload the remaining Focus, Fusion, Taurus.

Some of this new truck / SUV pricing is just as criminal as Univeristy tuition / housing pricing.

 

[ragingclue]

Yeah but some of these trucks do have a lot of negotiating room in their prices though. It's not like FS are the only trucks to get good discounts (granted the FS discounts are on another level). Not sure about the Ranger right now since it's new, but I'd imagine it'll be the same as the twins after a bit.

 

[Kensington]

Yeah, if you're paying MSRP for your full size truck, you're doing something wrong...

Lots of discounts to be had

 

[EmersonHart13]

I always pay over sticker. Because I have so much money it doesn't matter.
