Hope you ain't wanting a truck

In fairness, they are Ford's, it's either sitting there, or sitting at mechanics shop

Thousands of best-selling pickup trucks sit along I-71 — and Wall Street is watching

Has anybody checked the price of used trucks right now? Crazy high!

PS. @hossblur, don't worry, it's affecting your bailout-taking, Netherlands-owned Dodge, too. ?

 

[hossblur]

My dodge don't have many microchips

It's crazy, the local Toyota dealer that would normally have 50-75 Tacoma's and Tundra's on the lot now has four total.

My 2013 Tundra that was worth about $15,000 to $16,000 two years ago on a trade in is now worth $22,000.

I'm hearing that rental car rates are double normal rates if you can get one at all. Need to reserve them well in advance. Don't get off an airplane thinking you are just going to walk up to Enterprise and rent a car.

Twice now my buddy has rented U-hauls because there were no cars at the airport or it was $200 a day for a compact

Phoenix sky harbor was sold out last week......but enterprise in Scottsdale had plenty and normal rates....

 

[WVHUNTER]

I like the U-Haul idea. $19.95 plus $0.79 per mile regular cab pick up. Put the kids and the dogs in the back and go for it. That's the way we rolled when I was a kid.

People can't buy a Ford so they grabbed a Toyota. Boy, are they going to be pleasantly surprised in a few years.

Had a GM once that spent a lot of time on a lift too.

This is just a precursor to what it will be like when they are behind on batteries after the wussy-power industry takes over...

Yea but it has that cool tailgate thing.

 

[DeerMadness]

Ford ain't no big loss. Yes, I grew tired of that stroker and have a Chevy now.
This pandemic keeps on giving and giving. One good thing is some employers are looking at doffing the mask mandates.

 

[Togwotee]

Why can't you start it bobcat? you said you weren't going to buy half price crack anymore but I wonder.

 

[feddoc]

Prices are certainly interesting. I was looking at getting an F450. There is a place in Idaho that usually has prices on other belchers that are near 5-6K under MSRP. Nope. They are a sitting at 4K over MSRP.

yes they said in Hawaii it is $500 a day to rent a car so people are going and renting U-Haul trucks for $19.95 a day and driving around the Island........ Strange times indeed My cousin called me from the Island and said he has never seen anything like this, it looks like the whole Island is moving

 

[elkassassin]

Now How Long do You Think That'll Last Before They Get in On the GOUGING?

Not long it is all over the TV and the Island. Funny pic of woman getting out of the back of one of the U-hauls dressed to go to dinner.
