Alright, my newest vehicle is a 2006 model and I have a 2nd vehicle that is a 1995 model and I am sorta wondering what the future holds.
Right now a brand new vehicle is complicated as all get out. But you can still find a v8 solid axle 4x4 on the big 3 makers lots.
With hybrid, driverless, all electric, twin turbo, constant velocity transmissions, and lots of other words I consider being really expensive repairs I am debating in the next few years what to do.
Now as much as I like to make fun of fiat, fix it again tony, the dodge, yeah it is ram but I call em dodge still, trucks can be bought with that lifetime bumper to bumper super warranty. That warranty is on top of the normal one and costs 2 or 3 grand. There are different levels and different co-pay, deductible, for taking your toy in to be worked on.
The biggest warranty covers everything but wear stuff. So all those stupid computers and things are covered.
I am in my mid 40s and gonna leave the sucker stock. Stock size tires, no lift, no monster bumper replacement. It will get a hitch, probably ordered that way. I would like a winch but will cross that when I get to it.
Anyway, what do you see in the future of vehicles for the next 2 decades?
One of my vehicles is a wrangler and worth a little bit. Other one is 200k miles and worth something I am sure but not much.
Vehicle would be bought outright, or financed if worth it somehow.
To some extent I could almost see myself buying a minivan and the super warranty but a mini van won't tow much.
I will also say that while super warranty would cover all the things I mentioned as being really expensive parts at the start of this I want to keep things simple as I can.
Vehicle would be about the base model, due to haggling and potential trade in I might work with what they have on the lot cause they will deal on those more than one I order in.
Lifetime warranty has me skipping ford and general motors. General motors also gets skipped cause their v8 has not been updated in a long time. Ford would compete if they offered a lifetime warranty.
This is a gas v8 truck. No diesel.
3/4 ton or 1 ton. 4x4.
I have a few years to figure this out. I am tired of working on my stuff and I am past wanting to modify everything.
I expect the infrastructure stuff trump is talking about will be a big push for electric charging stations and electric vehicles will be way more common. I live rural. Want to tow a camper. And if I want to go I want 4x4 to let me go.
