Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire new trucks

New truck prices are beyond crazy. Some are the price of a house. I wonder if this chip thing is contrived to keep the prices high. Almost as bad as guns and ammo.

All aspects of manufacturing are affected world wide.

My flatbed deckover gooseneck trailer I bought new 5 years ago for $9500 is selling for close to $20k now, if you can find them.

Tractor dealer inventory are slim to none. Implements are the same.

It's a huge global impact.

If you find something you want, you may not see it again for awhile.

Not a problem since buying a new truck is about as stupid as buying lottery tickets.

Looking right now. Plenty on the used market for under $20k.

Ext cab, half ton, 4wd with 60k or less miles.

Does all I need of a truck.

Unless you put a schitt load of miles on one.

The 0% interest rate on most new offsets the savings of low mileage used.

Stuff is expensive.

I'm sitting in a truck waiting for a train to cross the highway.

Just loaded 14 ton of fertilizer.


$8750.

Looking at a ticket from last May, same load was $6188.


Should have pre-bought way sooner.



Just glad we didn't sell all the wheat, grain market is going crazy lately.



Speaking of cars, local Ford dealer's used lot is empty.

Quite a few pickups but no SUV's or cars.

How much do you want to bet that once this pandemic is over, the prices still won't drop to anything close to pre-pandemic levels.

I forget what the term for it is (something-something window), where you're first shocked by something, but then it's only incrementally ratcheted back and you accept it, because it's not as bad as it could have been.

It's all fugked up

Its why I bought my like new KING RANCH SUPER DUTY when I found the one I wanted. LMAO

No, not always.

And there will probably be 1% inflation kick up on Social Security for 2022. A 1,500 home down the street two lots was just put on the market for $425,000. Homes are moving in one to two days around here. Mine is 1000 square feet larger, but I can't talk the wife into selling.

Try buying a semi truck right now... none available until 2022, not a Peterbilt, not a Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, Western Star, or a Kenworth. Nothing. Freightliner has even taken the software away from the salespeople so they can’t even put orders in AT ALL.

I do know that Ford has parked pickups all over the place, waiting only for the chips to complete them and ship them.

You obviously haven’t shopped used trucks lately.

The only way new trucks are affordable to Joe average, is as a business write off! All others are buying them, to show the other guys their short comings!

Some of us buy a pickup to work out of. Guess mine's not considered new anymore...

BTW... EVERYBODY drives a used pickup.

1% inflation in the last year is ALMOST as laughable as Sleepy Joe winning the election. ALMOST

There is NO FUGKING WAY that loser, pedophile, geriatric BOOMER won that shat

You're in the Shortcomings category

used diesel truck market is a total zoo. I just sold my 2015 RAM 2500 4wd with Cummins 6.7. I put it on marketplace, had 3 people and a dealership wanting it within a day. sold it to the first guy for full asking price. no questions. he bought it based on a video I sent him from my phone.

Compared to you, I look like that black cock dude you posted up awhile back.
