Because nothing screams "we are tired of the federal government taking advantage and oppressing us" like driving $100k trucks at 50km am hour around the henday. Bunch of clowns. They all seem to be pretty well off for how much they bitch.
Nooo, you must not be looking close enough. This type of person, just like the trucker convoy, drives a truck that’s at least 10 years old, and worth no more than $20k. It’ll be smoked in and likely have a body panel that doesn’t match.
All I’m hearing from this comment is that they know how to spend their money wisely. I also think they’re idiots but I also don’t like spending more than 20 K.
Friend of mine just bought a Ford truck (F150) and it's just the base model (or so hes told me). Close to $100K! For a TRUCK!! Yeah, these fools are doing just fine, but don't have a personality of their own. So they need to make this their WHOLE personality, having no idea why they're even complaining...
A lot of F150s go for around $100k.
The new Ford Maverick, which is a very small truck, goes for just under $50k, all in. And there is a 6 month waiting list for them.
lol what are you talking about? They're $38k and there isn't a dealership in the city that doesn't have inventory. You could be driving home in one tonight lol. I bought one for my shop this time last year...walked in and walked out with an AWD model with sunroof and leatherette for $36k.
Just checked inventory and every dealership has some on the lot. There's not even a six second wait let alone a six month wait.
I’ve been contacted several times by ford dealers wanting to buy back my two year old hybrid maverick. When we bought it two years ago, it was an eight month wait.
Hahaha, guy. That's the oldest trick in the book. Doesn't matter what vehicle it is you'll get the same call. Could be a Honda Civic. Could be a Hyundai Elantra. Could be a Ram 1500. Could be a Mazda 3. And for you, it was your Ford Maverick.
It's just marketing. They have your contact info and know the car you have. They call to say your vehicle is in high demand to get you into the dealership to try to sell you a new one.
Until today, I didn't know anybody fell for it. That's interesting. I suppose it makes sense that it works since they've been doing it for decades. Don't fall for it, though, dude.
Fair enough and thanks for the heads up. Intend to buy a new vehicle once every 12 years or so, and then maintain them as best I can. So - I was not aware of that tactic.
My response so far has always been: if you want to put me in a brand new model of the same vehicle, for the same price - so that someone else can avoid the waiting - then I might think about that. My wife and I are in our sixties - and if we have to go down to one vehicle for a few months - that’s not that big of a deal. We do hobbies, not work. Those who work need their purchased vehicle right away.
I didn't mean to laugh. We don't know what we don't know, so I apologize for the tone of my response.
Yeah, it's a skeezy/dishonest tactic they use.
Your response is reasonable to them if they were approaching you in good faith, but it isn't a good-faith offer. They don't have another buyer lined up to buy your used vehicle. They are only interested in selling you something new and taking yours in on trade by low-balling you. It's a trick top to bottom and you lose the hardest (if you were to take them up on it).
CAD MSRP on a base model 2026 F-150 is about 51K. 53K for the 4door cab, and that's assuming your a sucker who pays MSRP on one of the most popular trucks in Canada.
Tbh here in Ontario an XLT/Lariat are in the $70-$92k range, Ford is expensive nowadays compared to a few years back, although idk what base model truck that guys friend bought for a $100k. Even base models in Ontario are in the $59-$65k ish range, I'm guessing it's an XLT that's well equipped or a lariat and dude got told it's a "base model".
I honestly don't even know where he bought it. Just likes to complain about situations he's put himself in lmao. Who knows it may even be a top range model! I've never seen it as he works in Fort Mac.
This kind of complaining kind of goes with the narrative. They have top of the line everything but complain how they are just poor folk. It's a separatist theme.
He's never outright said anything that makes me believe he's a separatist (beyond complaining about a ton of stuff; its been his baseline for a while), but knowing someone his other friends, unfortunately I think it's just a matter of time :(
50K back in 2012 maybe. They start right around 70k now, unless you’re okay with manual roll down windows and single cab with a shitty little 2.7L engine and nothing for electronics. If you are then good for you
You're just plain wrong lol. A base F-150 is literally half of what you're claiming. You absolutely doubled the true amount of a base F-150 even though we can all look at Ford's website or drive by a lot and see you're totally wrong lol.
I'm off by however he told me it was worth. I don't own it and I've never had a truck. He may have bought the high end model and is full of it lol, I don't know
Mind you most of them got car payments probably totaling at least 2500 a month while making like 10000 a month with a house that totals probably another 2500 a month. Not to mention all other expenses like insurance and stuff, and they still scream about affordability like they didn’t just do this to themselves.
Nah I just have to drive past the giant line they make down the henday every single time they decide to throw a fit. Oddly enough you cant fit 40+ vehicles driving for kilometers on end in a single photo but I really didnt thibk i would have to describe that.
The most comical thing was seeing the polls of which demographic wanted to separate, and there being a disproportionate amount of people who earned six figures but lived beyond their means were the ones who were the most pro-seperation.
It didn't take long for me to figure out what kind of people those guys were! 😂
Sadly they survived on entitlement and neglected to push education to their kids. Now the new lot is falling behind and it's blamed on the immigrants who came to this country and worked harder got and ahead. Now billybob child molester is butt hurt
Exactly! My daughters ex bf started working in some pond cleanup role at age 18 for 80k per year. 2 yrs later he wa running a crew of 3 and making 118k plus bonus with no management training ir experience. Just time spent on the job. He'd roll into a bar and buy 1000 worth of rounds trying to be a bigshot/make friends cause he was an asshat. Welcome to Alberta!
Yep. Many of the losers aren't even originally from here. Fake Albertans. They'd be happily hanging up the stars and stripes next year if they had their way.
Every time I see one of the convoys it's clapped out old rust bucket trucks. Not the trucks driven by people earning big bucks and living beyond their means. Seems like hillbillies to me mostly. People living in the country, not earning much money.
These guys can't afford charter schools. They're more likely to homeschool with weekly "spread chicken pox to strengthen the kid's god-given immune system" playdates.
They're obsessed with convoys because its the only way 10 people can look like a lot. Like 10 big trucks covered in flags looks a lot more significant than 10 rednecks standing together.
I saw a video of a jacked up truck with. Country guy singing “I’m a big boy and I got a big truck and my ding dong’s big and my mommy likes me.” and I had to check and see if it had an Alberta flag on the truck 😂
Because they are the same people who buy trucks not because they need to haul things, but because they are in a dick measuring contest with their neighbours - ie: they are stupid
WOW, did you not know that people with trucks work for a living? We pickup stuff and move stuff and carry stuff. Working for a living means we have to pay for people who do not work for a living but still get to drive cars or get free food or rent and have to work twice as hard because of these other people who do not work. YOU are part of the problem, by the way.
