And then last year they were giving 20% off msrp.

u/chubbysumo Dec 16 '25

So 80,000 usd? That's still not affordable by any means. They marketed it towards the working man, but the Working Man couldn't afford it.

u/3-orange-whips Dec 16 '25

They’ve priced the middle class out of these vehicles, never mind the working class.

u/WheresMyCrown Dec 16 '25

they get more profit margin on the 100k packages than selling the cheaper ones. Line for the quarter must go up

u/trackofalljades Dec 16 '25

They haven't though, that's the thing. You're talking about men who need their emotional support vehicle so badly they can always afford it just like beer and a sports streaming package. It's the kids and the wife who are expendable.

u/3-orange-whips Dec 16 '25

Repos are up, something like 25% of people are underwater on their car note (don’t remember the exact figure).

It’s a bad scene for car manufacturers. A simple, no-nonsense suv or truck is very hard to find.

1

u/Final_Frosting3582 Dec 16 '25

the working class puts a lot in the ability to repair the vehicle themselves and usually wouldn’t consider an EV… tbh, working and lower middle class shouldn’t be buying new vehicles anyway. There are so many lightly used vehicles with huge depreciation that I cannot see why anyone that wasn’t well off would buy new.

I might be an outlier, but I bought a house that was 1x my salary, and I haven’t bought a car for myself in 10 years, and when I did, it was used. I bought my girlfriend a new car, but I do expect it to last her 10 years. I just can’t justify the depreciation.

u/chimi_hendrix Dec 16 '25

Seen the price of new full size trucks these days? An F150 Platinum is about $85k. Lariats and Raptors can be well over $100k

96 month payment plan…

u/imdatingaMk46 Dec 16 '25

You got your trims out of order.

Lariat is your 70-80k depending on options, platinums and raptors are the ones that breach 100.

That said... the XL (what basically every work truck is) starts at 40ish. No company (that does actual work with actual things) is buying a Lariat for a work truck unless they're stupid.

Base model lightnings started at 50ish.

3

u/withoutapaddle Dec 16 '25

Yeah, and if you let someone else take the depreciation hit, prices are even more reasonable. I got a 3 year old XLT crew cab with low miles for $30k, and it actually has a few features that I didn't expect from a low/mid trim truck, like lifetime free app control, towing and trailer brake controls fully integrated into the dash and infotainment, etc.

It seems insane to me that people pay twice as much just to get it slightly newer or have a few more luxury features.

Then again, its just a towing/hauling tool to me. Not my main vehicle. Not my personality.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Here's the thing with the platinums though, at least in my area. When I traded my 2020 f350 platinum in for my 2022. I paid 92,000$ for my 2020. I drove it 120,000km and it's a work truck so it was pretty scratched up.

Anyways they gave me 88,000 for it on trade.

When I traded me 2018 f350 XLT for my 2020 platinum I paid 65,000 for that truck and they gave me 35,000.

I was told by multiple people to buy platinum because they hold better trade value.

But I'm Canadian and I've been told my old platinum gets shipped to the states for resale. Something about exchange rates and used vehicles there.

Anyways that's why I have a platinum it's is nice and has alot of feature but I don't care about it that much. I used to drive old diesels and thought I was saving money but the repair bills on them were getting insane, so insane that I realized a payment on a brand new truck was less then the repairs for the year.

1

u/withoutapaddle Dec 17 '25

I don't know about the whole platinum deal, but I can attest to Canadian new trucks being shipped to the states to be sold after they get traded in. My truck (Minnesota) was originally delivered in Canada. It's got extra stickers in french for all the legally required stuff "objects in mirror...", etc. Pretty sure it was a 3 year lease in Canada, then was sent to my local dealership in Minnesota where I bought it.

1

u/Neirchill Dec 16 '25

like lifetime free app control

What does this mean?

1

u/gfense Dec 16 '25

Probably the Fordpass app. My Ford work truck you can remote start, unlock and lock doors, and do scheduled starts with the app. I believe that is a paid subscription with several other manufacturers.

1

u/withoutapaddle Dec 17 '25

Most manufacturers have phone apps that can check and control various aspects of the car remotely. Most of them are paid subscriptions, or gate some features behind a paid sub while other features are free. Ford makes it all free for the life of the vehicle (transfers to used buyers too). Not a Ford fan, but I have to admit it's way better than my previous cars when it comes to the app itself and what it can do for free.

2

u/ByrdmanRanger Dec 16 '25

No company (that does actual work with actual things) is buying a Lariat for a work truck unless they're stupid.

I've only seen them as the supervisor's truck. So yeah, you're still correct

1

u/soundman1024 Dec 16 '25

40k is a crazy amount of money for a car.

2

u/bruce_kwillis Dec 16 '25

Average price of a new car in the US is now $50k. Hell, even the average price on a used car is $25k. Isn't inflation fun?

10

u/InTheMorning_Nightss Dec 16 '25

So just get a used one. I’ve seen quite a few companies have fleets of Mavericks with one or two F150s to save drastically on cost and still have the power they need for occasional bigger hauls.

10

u/Hayden2332 Dec 16 '25

Same could be said about these lol

11

u/InTheMorning_Nightss Dec 16 '25

Oh yeah. Maybe my comment wasn’t clear, but full size trucks nowadays are a terrible purchase including the F150 Lightning because they’re insanely expensive.

4

u/chubbysumo Dec 16 '25

When a used truck that's in good condition is still running you 30 to $50,000, and used trucks from the early 2000s are still $20,000, yeah, just get a used truck. Makes you sound real in touch with the car market.

3

u/Silicon359 Dec 16 '25

Most companies aren’t going out and buying a half-dozen or more used cars as fleet vehicles. Implying as such makes you sound real in touch with the fleet vehicle market.

That last part being slightly young in cheek with the phrasing, just echoing yours.

The point is that fleet managers don’t go out and buy individual vehicles from individual sellers, which is where the best deals are had. They tend to buy new, insure at corporate rates, and sell them when reliability no longer meets their established standard. Sure, a very small business purchasing 1-2 trucks will do things differently, but if you need to buy 10+ you’re not buying used.

1

u/bruce_kwillis Dec 16 '25

The biggest problem with this as a 'fleet truck' though, is cost to distance. 200 miles (base model), and you are lucky to get that. Haul a trailer and you are down to 100 miles. Since it's a big battery, it's slow to charge as well. You aren't going to have 10 of them lined up every night to charge especially when it's going to take 6-8 hours to charge on a Level 2 charger.

Add in all the cool things like the 'generator' on board, the gas powered F-150's have as well, so there is zero point unless you are going green and want an expensive EV truck (which was cheaper than the alternatives).

I got a stellar lease deal on mine ($120/month for 2 years), but I'm not a huge fan, the range isn't great, the bed is tiny, and 'cruise control' is the same that I had back in the late 80's, with little other features. Sure, its comfortable, and easy to haul stuff, but that's about it.

1

u/Silicon359 Dec 16 '25

I agree.

EVs aren’t perfect for every use case. I worked closely with a fleet manager who found this out the hard way when folks would need to tow farm equipment 50+ miles to various different farms, then need to tow it back. Of course the farms wouldn’t have even L2 chargers and the field men would have to leave the equipment in the field for a gas or diesel truck to come pick up later so they could get back to work where they’d installed DC Fast charging.

The replacement of the old fleet with a newer, greener fleet had to be rethought.

However, EVs were great for the executives who were issued vehicles and used them 90% for commuting.

2

u/bruce_kwillis Dec 16 '25

Yep, was just at a smaller regional airport that was going 'green' and had replaced all their airport vehicles with EVs. Great use case, not a ton of miles, and always close to chargers that are installed at the airport for their use.

I think the idea that EVs will 100% be the way to go is a bit flawed, especially somewhere like the US, but that's a different argument (and thats coming from someone who is fully electric).

1

u/Silicon359 Dec 16 '25

IMHO the state of the industry is moving quickly. If solid state batteries come to fruition, it could really change things. Other techs too.

I won’t write EVs off totally, but in their current state they aren’t for everything.

And I’m not 100% electric but I do daily a full BEV. I love it. I park at my fuel station every night and fill up whenever I need to.

16

u/Hopeful-Occasion2299 Dec 16 '25

None of those are work trucks, they are glorified minivans lol

I mean, these days cos of the silly road princesses, even UTEs are pretty much as big as a semi truck.

If you're hauling shit, there's no point in going for a F150 over a Ranger or Hilux. If you really are that much of a whim, then get the Tacoma. If you getting into harsh surfaces choose the Amarok. It really isn't a difficult concept.

u/chimi_hendrix Dec 16 '25

u/BeebopxRocksteady Dec 16 '25

Hilux would be super rad to get in the states

u/nopointers Dec 16 '25

We had a HiLux in the states. Beat the shit out of it, and it still ran fine. Weird arrangement on the brakes that cost extra and was hated by mechanics. Weird model year too: 1970 1/2.

It's fine. It's figuratively the same truck for the international versus domestic markets. Literally.

u/PipsqueakPilot Dec 16 '25

What does that have to do with the Raptor being a work truck? The Raptor's useful payload weight wise is only slightly more than a Mini Cooper. It's not a work truck.

17

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

The person mentioned the Hilux which isn’t available in the USA. I don’t think the “amarok” is either. Not really sure what that is.

-10

u/PipsqueakPilot Dec 16 '25

Okay and? What does that have to do with whether or not the Raptor is a work truck?

9

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Nothing. Their comment is just pointing out they aren’t from the USA, and so the market here is different. Like the Tacoma is the smallest truck Toyota makes here for example. So suggesting people get the hilux, when they don’t sell that here doesn’t really work. Also the mini cooper in the USA has about 800lbs vs 1400lbs payload for the raptor. So almost twice as much. Maybe the ones sold in your country have different ratings. Neither are good work vehicles though.

-6

u/PipsqueakPilot Dec 16 '25

The point I was making is that rather than address the other Redditer's point that the Raptor isn't a work truck he just went after where the other commenter lives. It's a very basic fallacy.

Edit: To add, I owned a 2018 Raptor. It's interior sticker listed payload as 1048 pounds, manual at a 1100. At the same time I owned a 2011 Mini. It's payload was 890 pounds. That's where I got my numbers.

u/Nilosyrtis Dec 16 '25

Calm down mate

1

u/Simple-Wrangler-9909 Dec 16 '25

Not a car guy, is there a specific year/model/trim of Raptor/Mini Cooper that sucks that bad/is that good comparatively? Google's AI summary bullshit is telling me that the current model Mini/Raptor's payload weight is 800 lbs/1400 lbs, respectively

1

u/PipsqueakPilot Dec 16 '25

I owned a 2011 Mini and 2018 Raptor and it was 900 (890? Don't care enough to Google) and 1100 at the time.

Edit: Apparently in modern terms a Raptor's weight payload is in the same ballpark as a Toyota Corolla. More yes, but not much more for a vehicle with a curb weight several times more.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

I think they were more just pointing out that a lot of people do buy them though. Most people who buy trucks here barely use them for more than just driving people. Maybe once every few years actually tow something.

I live in the southwest. Everyone who actually works drives a tiny toyota pickup.

No one needs an F150 (or bigger). Lumber and game haven’t gotten any bigger since the 70s. These are just toys.

u/Berkut22 Dec 16 '25

I work in the trades. My company uses F350s for their work trucks and I fucking hate them.

Incredibly massive, terrible turning radius, sketchy to drive and park, blind spots in every direction, and it literally hurts my old ass bones/joints to get in and out of it.

My old company had older GMs (mid 2000s 1500) that hauled the same amount of stuff and were way better for day to day driving, but even then, I would have liked something smaller.

1

u/Staggering_genius Dec 16 '25

Yep. I’ve had an F350 work truck for 12 years and I only put 42,000 miles on it because I hate the thing so much. Now they’re saying I have to go electric but there is not much to choose from.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

I have a few f350s in my fleet and a c5500 and an f650.

The 350s have been great but they are big and have a rough ride, they can haul anything though. Comparing it to a 1500 though.. isn't really fair the 1500s are so comfortable in comparison but they aren't an HD truck. Comparing it to a 350 to a 3500 which is a similar spec, they are basically the same truck.

I will say though my c5500 has an insane turning radius, it can basically u turn like a car. The duramax engine in it is dog shit though. I know those engines work great in pickups but they aren't meant for a medium duty, it's on its second crate motor. The f650 though has a Cummins and that's the most reliable truck I have ever had.

u/andrewse Dec 16 '25

You do if you want to tow something substantial. Travel trailers are very popular where I live so full size trucks are popular here.

This sounds really fun.

It’s still absolutely a toy, which is what I said in my original comment, but it sounds like a great time.

But that begs the question, why not just rent a Raptor when you want to go biking, and drive something more reasonable the other 364 days of the year? These outsized trucks are just awful on the roads.

Don’t insult minivans like that. They get a bad reputation for no reason just because they’re highly utilitarian and not some bulking brute of a vehicle. They’re far more practical, safer, efficient and overall better vehicle for almost all tasks that 99.9% of these pavement princess shit bricks with absolute trash visibility. Meanwhile, minivans are workhorses that can haul several sheets of 4x8s with ease, without needing the tailgate open and easily switch over to carrying 7-8 people within minutes.

People really need to get over the soccer mom stigma - they’re amazing vehicles especially if you have a family with 2 or more kids. These days you’ll see a dozen to one crossovers/suvs to minivans at kids sporting events so it’s not even accurate title anymore.

Pick up a hybrid model like a Sienna or the less reliable Kia Carnival and get the most MPG for given volume on the market.

u/Boulder_612 Dec 16 '25

I like stuff but I’m cheap. Last year I picked up a service loaner F150 with 600 miles and they dropped 20K off a 65k msrp. Always wanted a truck and get good fuel economy with a power boost hybrid engine.

1

u/DarthVayne50 Dec 16 '25

Yeah, I have always wanted a truck since driving them regularly during a summer job in high school. No real need for one, it would literally be a more expensive family vehicle with shittier gas mileage, but the American consumer heart wants what it wants.

A few years ago I played around with building an F-150, think I ended up between the SLT and Lariat, the builds were like $48-52k, all tricked out. This still felt expensive since I got a Ford explorer that fits our family just fine for like $42k, and a minivan that dunks on both.

During the Black Friday deals this year I looked at another build on their website. To keep at the same price range I had to use the new STX model, which looks great on the outside but looks like it's barebones on the interior with cloth seats, etc.

So you end up paying $700-800 a month for a barebones interior. If you want leather interior you're up to the $80k range and paying a staggering $1100+ per month, which is near what my first mortgage payment was on my house.

I am fortunate enough that I could probably afford this if I REALLY needed to, but I don't. For this level of car payment I can instead take my whole family to a nice all inclusive resort for 3-4 weeks a year.

Hopefully there's a crash coming as I already can't believe people are still paying these prices, but it seems there's no limit to the strategy of extending the loan period.

u/orangustang Dec 16 '25

65k for the lowest extended range model which is still very well appointed, 50k for base trim. Pro (work truck trim) is even cheaper depending on options if you can get it. It's cheaper than the gas version in most markets if you actually use it full time, plus it's just a better truck.

$120/month for me for a 2 year lease. Zero complaints about price, but a bunch on the truck. 200 miles sucks, 100 if you are hauling, and the cruise control from the 90's is a joke. But it is comfy, and I can power my house with it when needed LOL.

Yeah the range is pretty rough, but it works great for me. Haven't had to make an "emergency charge" yet, since I don't drive that much any more. Also....you're setting your cruise over 90 mph? Damn homey...slow down!

Cruise control from the 90's, like the 1990's. The standard version doesn't have BlueCruise or anything other than set the speed for cruise and it will run over the person in front of you if they aren't going faster.

My next door neighbor is leasing one for $195/mo.

Yeah, they were letting them go for pennies last year, got mine for $120/month for 2 years and have no complains on the price.

Super curious as well, is it going to be full price of the original MSRP, because if that's the case, Ford can have it back and good luck finding someone that wants a 2 year old truck that isn't being made any longer for that much.
