Didn’t Ford do the same thing with the small size Ranger?
Same here.
Yeah, maybe your manufacturer should have taken bankruptcy instead of letting zero screw the investors AND the taxpayers! And, maybe zero shouldn't have tried turning GM into VW like Hitler did. And, maybe GM should have paid back ALL of the money they got from the taxpayers instead of going on TV and lying about how they paid it all back.
Payback's a biatch!!
Eggsaklee!!!!!
Simple:
The price of a popular Silverado model — a four-wheel-drive crew cab with a 5.3-liter engine in the All Star package — is $43,005 after factoring in incentives, GM says, while the comparable 2013 F-150 model, a 4wd XLT Super Crew with an EcoBoost engine, is $40,385 after incentives.
Bought a used 1987 chevy S-10 back in 1992, ran so well I bought a gmc sierra to replace it with. Was about to buy another gm product until jug ears got involved with em. Wife had a pontiac and has a 2003 gmc suv now. I probably wont ever buy another gm product because they got in bed with zero. Too many other choices out there.
Amen to that.
If I was going to buy a full size truck, I would definitely buy a Tundra.
Had a ‘99 Ford Ranger with over 170,000 miles. Still ran pretty good. Got rid of it and looking for a 2002- 2005 Ford Escape. Bit of a rough ride, but does what I need and a very fair price. I’m not big on car payments even if I can afford it.
Sorry, gubmit motors...you built excrement, and then joined purveyers of excrement when you accepted gubmit money.
FUGM.
Take your trucks, cars, and stocks and shove ‘em up your smelly collective Obamaholes.
GM could offer them at half price and I would not consider even stopping by to look.
4 years ago, got rid of the GMC and bought an f-150
GM can go under.
Gee GM is using the Obamacare excuse. It’s a good product that everyone wants, you just can’t access it.
Yep, the worst business decision GM ever made was ending its S-10 line. I have a 2002 S-10 pick-up truck with over 200,000 miles on its, and will hold on to it until its falls apart from rust sometime in the distant future.
Yeah, but get rid of the UAW and you don’t go bankrupt.
I come from a family that always bought GM.
Aside from the fact that the “family brand”, Pontiac, no longer exists, our 00 Sierra was and is the last GM vehicle I’ll own. I’ll keep it running for as long as I can or until the typical GM rust consumes it.
I recently bought a used Ranger. An 87. Emission testing excempt. Nice little truck, far lest rust than the Sierra, still pretty simple to work on despite the EFI and 4x4. Manual everything. I expect it will outlast the Sierra even though it has 13 more years on it.
I bought my first new vehicle in 1976 (I was 23). It was an F150 4x4 with the V8 and a four speed tranny, had the dealer put on white spoke wheels with big meats and the price was around $6500. Price have risen slightly over the years.
Because it's a political entity and politics are inherently dishonest?
I’m an electrician in the oil patch. We use 3/4 or 1 ton trucks, usually diesel. Sadly, Toyota doesn’t make a 1 ton truck. Ford diesel can’t compare to the duramax. Cummings is good, but the trucks ride like rocks and have a weak transmission. So if you want a better ride with a good engine, you wind up with Gmc or Chevy.
The small truck line is dead, killed by CAFE standards.
The last holdout the Ford Ranger is no longer for sale either.
