Any modern half ton will meet your specs pretty comfortably. I'd just pick based on comfort, reliability, preferred looks, etc.

Not sure these two bolded words go together......

This guy seems to have a large audience and thinks Ford in particular is going to have some 'screaming' deals on their pickups now/moving forward.



Take it or leave it, I think a lot of 2024's are sitting around, not just Fords.

Nothing he is claiming has translated to lower prices. An advertised $4k-$5k off of sticker for most Ford models doesn't exactly scream "wholesale panic giveaway!!!!!!"

I agree. Supply has expanded but demand hasn't though…and I think it's a matter of time, broadly.

[NEWS] New vehicle inventory is surging 26.4% YoY:

But demand is barely budging.

Why? New car prices are stuck at elevated levels…

For 13 straight months, new car list prices have hovered around $49K.

And while sub-$30K vehicles are gaining traction, growing 51.8% YoY —…

New car inventory just passed 3M for the first time since the pandemic:

A 29% YoY increase... which brought the avg. market day's supply to 85 days.

The biggest driver?

Some automakers and dealers are trying to balance lingering 2023/2024 models with a rush of 2025s.

And you…

When the 2025's really start piling up on top of 2024's is when it will get interesting, around late Dec-Jan is my swag, but I disclaim any expertise in this area. We haven't seen inventories like this since Covid.

We were out of town last weekend and used a new app called Turo. Like VRBO for cars. Wife drives a pallisade, so we found someone on the app with a 2024 pallisade. It was waiting for us at the airport. Lockbox on the window. No waiting. No fuss. Can pick out whatever vehicle you like.

We have used Turo for at least 5 years. Great way to rent a car, truck or SUV and almost always much cheaper than going to a regular rental car company. You are basically renting someone's personal car.
