Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

not gonna lie...they look good, but damn that price tag

 

??

40k is what cars cost now.

Trimmed up half tons are 75-80k on the lot. This is the new reality.

 

GMC is the "luxury" truck for GMs, they've always been $$$

The colorado ZR2 is about 45k, according to a quick goog. Hell, my base-trim TRD OR was 36k before TTL etc. That's with no trims - no tech, no lights, etc. That was Dec 2019.

The GMC is going to have heated steering wheels and chrome and all that shenanigans to be "the nice truck" in the GM line. Depends what you value. For me I'd get the base trim 'rado and let 'er ride.

 

saw this at overland expo.

It looked nice.

 

last i looked it was 45k....for a 4 cylinder...no thanks

 

Yeah. Welcome. The future is now.

Prices may moderate some when....if...chip supply improves. But I wouldn't count on it.

We're all slowly becoming our grandparents. I remember when you could get a jr bacon cheeseburger for $1.

 

I said this in another thread. I am Canadian but love listening to Dave Ramsey rant. Last week he said the average new vehicle in the states is at 48k and an average monthly payment at 733.

 

They got 8 year notes for em now too!

The only saving grace is that they're actually reliable for 10+ years now for most brands.

 

Those flares are horrible, the rear one for the gas cap is even worse

 

Bolt on flare always look like shit.

Custom fender panels or don't waste your time.

 

And if you don't drive a Toyota for the most part. In 8 years they are all pretty much scrap metal

 

Idk man i have a couple friends with chebys and fords and they constantly have problems...even if its not major stuff. like the radio crapping out after 2 years or some sensor going out more often than it should


i try to tell them to get tundra/tacoma instead but htey never take the advise

 

Yeah, but 25 years ago autos were *done* at 10/100,000mi. Like, scrapheap done because repairs exceed value.

They certainly have things break, but they remain functional transport boxes for at least 15/150k now.

 

SQQQ…lfg!

 

Didja sell the algo bump?

 

Markets be drunk. It was priced in, NO IT WASNT! Oh, yes it was. Perhaps it was?

 

Algos be like your drunk womanizing uncle visiting for Thanksgiving on rate hike day.

 

They have a couple of trim levels that look good, have some functional stuff, and don't have the chrome, steps, etc... I am really thinking about it just for the updated tech/displays, looks a little roomier inside, and just overall looks much better than the past colorado/canyons/rangers that were supposed to be Tacoma competition

 

The ranger looks great other than the bed height. It is just disproportionate. And the windows line up with it. That's the only gripe I have.

I am more function over fashion so I'd be in the lowest trim Colorado possible instead of a canyon at all but to each their own.

 

I'm not a fan of the front end of the ranger...resembles their cars too much. ever time i see it i think of the fusion
