If Ford EV's sell it here in Asia, dirt cheap price, it will be sold.
The Lincolns are getting sold because of Uber Black and Lyft luxury services. Black cars and SUVs are in high demand because of Ride-share services.
What toyota car would you buy on a limited budget?
Hey scotty, I got a question. How come financing doesn't work for cheap vehicles?
Nissan has never been able to provide definitive causes of some of the various types of noises their CVT transmissions make when they are both not loaded and loaded On a global scale, hundreds of thousands of Nissan CVT transmissions have been replaced or “repaired” unnecessarily because normal transmission behaviour had been misdiagnosed as defects/faults/failures
Message to Ford: STOP producing EV crap and focus on producing good, reliable cars again.
It's like they've committed and would be embarrassed to go back to normal. Toyota was smart and said screw evs
Never happening.
bring back the crown vic and we'll talk
Ford and reliable are diametrically opposed
Can you say that louder for the people in the back please…because my goodness they need to hear it…😒
All I want is a small pick up truck with window cranks and push button up and down locks on the door not electric locks. just a simple basic truck is all I need not all the fancy bells and whistles. Just something simple that will get me from point A to point B
I’m not trying to rub it in. I’m keeping my 95 Tacoma 4X4 until I can no longer drive. I’m 70. I’m passing it down to my daughter. She will drive it until the wheels fall off.
But that wouldn't cost enough, so they aren't going to make it.

what were u thinking test driving that crappy 4 cylinder engine after driving the 5.7 tundra there no comparison? The only engine close enough to what u might like is the 6.2 but it will cost 75 grand to get into that model silverado
😂😂😂….how dare you even
Hang on to that Tundra, good for a million miles 😊
Then maybe you should’ve test driver the higher trims rather than the base trim with the weakest engine
They don't want to sell a work truck with a solid engine anymore. They'd rather sell a " package" for way more than it's worth and comes with crap thar isn't necessary.
The lightning sitting at my local Ford dealer has had the price reduced 9 times and still not sold....went from 15k over msrp to now 10k under msrp.
10k below msrp? Still 30k over priced
Still an overpriced urban grocery getter.
@@Blackhawk556. agreed
Just a expensive money pit that can't be used as a truck. My chevy Malibu has as much ground clearance.

Scotty warned us about those bronco sports and now there's a recall for them. They're catching fire due to cracked fuel Injectors and there's no clear fix
Ohhh.. a gas car with issues? OMG
@iused2BAfireman your point?
Isn’t the clear fix working injectors?
One of the biggest problems faced by today's mechanics is not simply the issue of purchasing an annual subscription for each manufacturer of vehicle (which is a considerable expense if there is insufficient use of the subscription for that year,) it is also the shameless robbery of the TOOL MANUFACTURERS who only allow a subscription for a number of years BEFORE THE TOOL IS OBSOLETE and IS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCEPT UPDATES. After over thirty-five years in the business, I am more than happy to see the finish line is in sight and I can work on whatever I want.
No one should pay those scumbags. Then they can learn to put regular brakes on cars.
But just like politicians they'll lie and tell you anyone can service it.
Rather you should be able to fully disengage the electronic brakes from the cars dash software. Instead you need an official OBD2 that’s not available for purchase unless you’re a dealer or certified mechanic.
They're still expecting $60-$100k for pick-ups.
I got 30k for one, or none.
You are not paying for a vehicle. You are paying for a UAW contract.

I would never buy a ford. I was a loyal GM owner for years until I realized that I was always getting nickled and dimed to them. I went with Honda's and I've never looked back. I still do most of my own work at 65. It's disgusting that all of the manufacturers make them so complicated and expensive
I'm 66, always GM, tried a couple F150's in the 80's then switched to toyota.

LMFAO!!!!
The main problem with having an oil place change the oil is that you drive in , they pull the car into a bay and drop the plug. As soon as it slows down, they replace the plug and dump in the new oil and filter leaving at least a quart of the old oil in the crankcase. Doing it yourself you leave it overnight then replace it.
And you run the risk of them doing it wrong, like using gear oil instead of engine oil. And another thing which is very common is that they leave the old filter. Happened to me once.
The guys working at those places always crank the new filter down so tight you have to literally destroy it to get it back off again the next oil change. No idea what you are getting for an oil filter or oil.
I bought a 2010 Ford Focus new. It now has 55,000 miles. It has been and still is a very reliable car. It has been paid off for 10 years. It gets great gas mileage, and the plates and insurance is cheap. I am going to drive it until it drops. I laugh at the people driving their fancy cars, with the big payments. A lot of them are underwater on their loans.
Oh yeah. You’re right. I’m still driving my 2006 Ford F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. still running strong. !! With no issues.
Cool comment my dear ❤
I drive a ford fusion and it’s been a terrible car
14 test old car with 55k miles?? Of course it's going to be reliable. It's still basically new. Wait till 80k, though.
2012 chevy and 2013 honda civic... paid off and no issues with them.... 😂. Zero debt
Hi, Scotty. I am from Canada. I have always enjoyed your topics. Anyways , our governments are trying to get us to buy EV's, but what they are not telling us, is that, besides being very expensive, the replacement of the battery can go as high as $ 20,000 dollars. Also , the cars are heavier and the tires wear out faster and these cars are bad for the roads. The lithium for these batteries is hard to mine and a lot of it is under the ocean floor. So any reduction in emissions by buying a EV , is gone. Mining this will cause more pollution . There is no advantage in EV's.
Children as young as five (5) mine cobalt for these batteries...

Toyota tried to sell subscriptions to their car components as well.
Once again, I heard a story years ago of someone that went to an quick lube place and wanted an oil change. They drained the oil and put gear oil in its place, instead of regular oil. The quick lube shop paid for a new engine.
Braindead
That is Sad, The Owners of the Quick Lube Places in my opinion have to: -Teach their Techs Correctly and Respect their Workers; which some of them do their best. - Bottom Line can not always be about the $Dollar.
I once went to a quickie lube place and they put an extra quart in my car. When I drove off the oil pressure gauge spiked up. Drove back and they drained a quart and gave me a coupon for a free oil change. That was the last time I went there.
at least thy paid for the engine , v lucky that way , still not good
These quick lube places do tens of thousands of oil changes every day across the country. If even one out of thousand went bad we'd hear about it every day.
Holding on tight to my 2003 ranger
Oh yeah. I’m still driving my 2008 ford F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. and it’s still running strong. !!!

I’m keeping my 09 ford ranger until at least 2035 because I don’t trust anything with, eco, hybrid or electric, they will never last as long and I trust my non eco 2.3 4 cylinder engine with 143000 miles more than I would ever buy anything like those, plus who doesn’t like to hear the engine come on when you start the vehicle? Plus my ranger has way better reliability and longevity than a new one because ford used to make their vehicles right, and I can literally find anything part wise for it because they made almost every part interchangeable with most models, can a brand new f150 do that? No what you get is a 56k truck that has 14 recalls now, they may not cost anything but most people can’t afford the time to mess with those, at least 2 months worth of dealership work, if I ever replace my ranger I’m getting a Tacoma
I live in MI. The auto workers expect you to support them. So, I bought a Toyota Tundra. They expect to much. Good luck!!!

I think they lie. My daughter has an outlander 2022. Said needed back brakes and rotors. Lied. Nothing wrong with them. She told them that she didn’t believe them. Looked just fine.
Yeh they all lie if they think u know nothing about cars. .... because my auto car is nearly 7 yrs old & 90k miles & the brake pads aren't even 1/3rd worn yet
They all have a corrupt business model of selling stuff people don’t need yet.
I said before, and I’ll say it again. Ford used to be a GOOD brand. It’s a shame to see what happened to them.

You're statement is so true. They don't make them like they used to. Technology has done so much harm to many of the new vehicles. 😢
so what?
Even 25 years ago that generation of kids had little interest in doing their own maintenance on their vehicle. Since then it's only gotten worse and auto makers have loaded down every vehicle with computers and miles of cheap wire, plastic. Expensive throw away vehicles have arrived.
Do your own oil change. That way you can inspect other items under the car.
I will be 74 end of May. Been a FORD person since born. At 15 I built a "Claymore" stock car and raced at 16. Ductaic 6.5 hp motorcycle at 14, licensed in Nevada. Ford cars, mills from, 289, 302, 352, 390, 427, 428, 429 ci. cars. Bought 2 1988 Turbo-coupes, Top of the line and basic. Thunderbirds were my favorites.
I had an 88 Turbo Coupe and I think I still like it better than most ‘stock’ cars I’ve owned
It's fun to drive. North of Seattle to Reno, Tahoe, back.
It’s pretty sad seeing old school historic Ford guys being let down by the way things are now
I've bought Fords for years, beginning with my 1966 Mustang. My last new car was a 2014 Ford Fusion ... the best car I've ever owned. It had over 332,000 miles and was still running flawlessly when I sold it recently. Unfortunately, it looks like Ford has abandoned making quality gas-powered cars anymore, and are instead focused on extremely expensive trucks and SUVs with much poorer quality. Instead, I finally gave up on Ford and bought an old low mileage well-maintained 2013 Lexus ES 300h. It's a pleasure to drive, and will probably be around a lot longer than the junk being produced today.
Ford went with small displacement (read CHEAP) gas turbo engines. Big mistake. HP wars...everyone needs 400 hp to drive to the grocery store with their $80k truck with tiny little bed.
@dmt66frd Our 2019 was in the shop for almost 9 months due to a broken flex plate. It had less than 50k when it broke down.
" a diet fast food chain" says Scotty then laughs at the prospect. When I was a kid in 1050's Australia, there were virtually no fat kids or adults except those with a medical condition. What were the differences from today? Very limited fast food availablity (mum made everything we ate), no TV to lounge around in front of while stuffing your face and getting no exercise and the relatively high cost of food back then. It's too easy to become fat today. We have to make societal changes over a long period before obesity is diminished. What say you?
I was a life long Ford truck owner. Just bought a Tacoma and absolutely love it.
I hope you are liking the Tacoma. I rented one at airport and for some reason it pulled hard from a stop and would jolt forward when I let off the brake in the parking lot. Maybe this was an exception and not all Tacomas do this
I heard the new Tacomas have problems. Does yours?
I bought a 2023 😉
@@snarl3027 Smart.
About 3 weeks ago I had a new set of tires put on my truck at a tires store ,I was driving it home and the rear driver side tire all the sudden sounded like it had a blow out , I pulled off the road and got out and they hadn't put the lug nuts on and the only thing that kept the tire from rolling down the highway was it when the tire came off the truck came down on it and wedged in the wheel well , they had to replace the studs on the drum , it was a scary ride going from about 50 to zero in about 3 seconds
It should be illegal for a dealership to have a monopoly on fixing cars you own.
i never saw a single ev leave my local dealership. every single ev just stayed at the parking lot and where eventually rotated to the next year cars.
I have a 2001 Toyota regular cab with a 22RE and a 5 speed manual. All we ever wanted !
Hello Scotty, Thank You for all You do.
Thats funny Scotty,when i got out of Huntsville i actually DID go to work at an oil change center 😮 worked there 3 years ended up manager. 33 years ago ✌️
My son-in-law had the same thing happen to his Subaru. They drained the transmission fluid. He drove down the road and wrecked his transmission
How on gods green earth do they screw up an oil change so bad.
1989 22REC 4wd pickup. 344k miles. Fluids, tires, brakes. Drive. Year after year after year. Might need a paint job. Probably sell for nearly what it cost new.
SK: Have you heard about the "Right to Repair" movement taking hold at the grass-roots level? It addresses the very issues you raised - only across the board of consumer products. One of the most involved advocates is Louis Rossman (now out of Austin, TX). Devices being crippled INTENTIONALLY by software is becoming a gigantic problem. Louis has some excellent stories to tell about this. He is here on YT so he should be easy to contact.
Scotty is making my Saturday morning. Keep it up.
I went to a Take 5 once and only once. They aired up my tires saying its policy. I just aired rhem up a week ago to 34. I checked it after and two were at 46, one at 43 and another at 44. My car was being a little sluggish so I took it to my usual place to get the oil changed again after 2.6k miles(I change it every 4k). I was told that it was 1 quart low and that was after I added a quart. They also took 10 min between two guys to change my cabin air filter and another 3 min to put the cover back on. The only thing they did right was clean my windows which is also policy according to them. I told my wife there is a reason why I go to the same oil change place, the same tire shop, and the same mechanic since 20 (now 34) even though I moved and live 50 min away from them.
I leased a chevy cruze, first year of the hatchback. Brakes rusted through with 32k miles on it, Chevy wouldn't cover it. I replaced myself with the cheapest Chinese crap I could find. When I turned it in the brakes were metal on metal at 60k. Learned that leases are a scam and so are new Chevys.
*Exactly* the same thing happened to us with a Subaru at a local NTB place. My wife got new tires, they told her they checked the oil & it was all discolored so she said go ahead and change it. Bottom line, they put engine oil in the transmission, it died a few miles later. They did pay for a new trannie, but it wasn’t as smooth as the original :-/
The gm dealership I took my car to yesterday wanted $15 per quart for mobil 1 and you can get 5 quarts for $27.97 elsewhere. Just shows you how overpriced they are. Sadly I needed to have the transfer case and transmission levels checked otherwise I would've done the oil change myself like usual.
True but why does Subaru make the CVT plug extremely easy to see and the oil plug has a door on the plastic under cover, you have to open to see? The CVT plug should be hidden and not look like an oil plug. IMO it is subaru asking for DIY and quick change shops to screw up.
The Subarus CVT drain plug is in the middle/center of the car & the oil drain is at the front of the car (& my Subaru doesn't have a plastic cover hiding the drain plug). It's not hard to tell what is what
@@mrgarrison3516 You couldn't see my oil plug, it was covered by a plastic shield and a door.
@@fpostgate I now see your point, Subaru should hide the CVT drain plug (location), the same way they hide the CVT fill plug 🤔
triple certified ASE Master tech with a bachelor's in Software Engineering. I switch from American cars to the Prius Prime back in 2017 and never went back. I still work on my own cars. I rebuild battery packs. So nice not having to change fluids so often. Tracking gas mileage on an app. Don't trust the display in the car. They cannot account for the fuel captured and used in the eval system. Track from fill up to fill up. My Venture mini van was supposed to 21-24. It only gets 18-19.
I brought my wife’s Mercedes CLA250 AMG to a local oil change place. We still had the free service at MERCEDES, but we were in a rush. When they were done the car would not move. So I looked under the hood and noticed the drive belt had come off. Apparently the tech got oil On the pulley and the belt slipped off. 😮
Jiffy lube about ten years ago put gear oil in my engine and ruined my engine.
Personally involved with a wally world oil change where oil and filter removed. New filter installed but forgot to put new oil in it.

2003 chevy suburban 4x4. 210000 miles. Runs like a clock. Love it.
Not too long ago Ford made terrible cars if you look at consumer reports Fords had some of the worst ratings and my parents told me many stories about Fords not making it to 100k miles. Given American companies obsession with making things as cheaply as possible I'm not surprised American cars are garbage. I might be willing to buy a cheap American made item but if I'm going to spend thousands I need quality. Most Japanese cars can make it to 200 or 300k miles. I have never considered buying a Ford because of their past reputation. Car companies need to think twice before they produce a shitty car because the bad reputation they will get might haunt them for decades. It doesn't help that most of Fords new trucks cost 50-75k, way more than the average American can afford. Believe it or not their was a time when trucks were not super expensive. It also doesn't help that most trucks get terrible gas mileage a 30+ mpg truck would be a gamechanger. In Europe they have a few trucks that get 35-40 mpg and a few sedans that get close to 60 mpg so a fuel efficient truck is possible.
Lincoln should go back and make the Town Car on their Panther platform.
I have a 1995 if you want to buy it, new engine but needs trans work.
Exactly. I've always bought estate sale cars, low mileage, reasonable $. But they haven't made them since 2010. Bought a cherry one last summer for $4k.
Why are you people living in the last century? I used to be a limo driver. The town car market is dead. Has been for years. Stretch limousine companies have gone to SUVs years ago. They were the primary buyers of town cars.
@@hotrodray6802we are not making a car line for one guy. I used to drive those things for a living. The primary buyers of town cars was the limo market. And thanks to Uber they've been pushed to the side. And have been replaced by large SUVs and SUV stretches. There is no place for large sedans anymore. No one is making Town cars, no one's making Impalas. And the Chrysler 300 is finally dead.
@@WALTERBROADDUS I clearly understand how the market has changed. I’ve been driving new BMWs for the last 20 years. Growing up my dad had Lincolns and Fleetwoods. My new 5 Series with low profile run flat tires makes driving unpleasant. You can feel every crack in the road.
Fantastic video with great content as usual.👍
Years ago, if you wanted something with all the bells and whistles and comfy seats, you bought a Cadillac or Lincoln. Now they automatically put all that stuff in trucks, so you have to pay a Cadillac or Lincoln price for the truck too!

I would say Cummins is definitely the best customer service, assistance 24/7 worldwide and heaps of technical manuals for their engines. A Small Cummins owner in AUS. Toyota was great until late 80's
Right again Scotty. For example preparing to self sell my 2014 Camry I asked Hattiesburg Toyota for a safety check which they did and gave me a print out indicating what specifically was checked and the results. Everything was OK. I used this to sell the car. Point is IT WAS FREE!
Scotty prople cant even shift gears on their own. How do you want them to change their own oil?
Scotty, great information and content please keep us updated. God bless you 😇😇😇.
I got a 2018 outback I started out changing my own oil. A few years in I got lazy and started using Jiffy Lube regularly The tech told me my oil was a quart low on a 6k oil change. Long story short I got a new engine from Subaru. I would have never noticed that. Now I check my dip stick and change my own oil again.
We bought a 5.7L V8 Toyota Sequoia and it has operated flawlessly since 2019. Not a single repair other than the normal stuff like brakes, tires, and oil. My neighbor paid 12k to replace the battery pack in their Tesla and sold the car right after. They have since gone back to a regular gas Honda Accord.

I live in a small city on Vancouver Island. Took my Lexus to Campbell River Toyota for an oil change after winning a silent auction for service. They put the wrong filter on. Lucky for them, I stopped to grab a bite just a couple km away before heading down island where I would have been driving 120 kph for the next hour. I could see my oil slick on the highway heading back to the dealership from the McEsso.
Hydrogen is massively explosive under pressure isn’t just checking
It's usually stored in liquid form.
@@WALTERBROADDUS Liquids can be explosive too.
Thare also placed inside of reinforced hydrogen cells on top of being inside of a contained fuel cell so they're at minimum double-walled if not tripled in reinforcement
@@billhicks4537 the whole idea of going to hydrogen is the infrastructure and producing the gas. Neither is in abundance.
@@WALTERBROADDUS Even small amounts of liquid hydrogen can be explosive when combined with air, and only a small amount of energy is required to ignite it, Hydrogen has the highest flammability range and lowest required ignition energy of any fuel.
0:53 Scotty Got a good laugh from that one 👍 At 5:38 It's called "Take 5 Oil" because it takes 5 seconds for those clowns to destroy your vehicle
Still driving my 2007 Honda fit with 300,000 mi on it ,still has the original rear brakes ball joints muffler system doesn't burn any oil and drives like the day I bought it.
I have a 2019 Nissan 370Z that's hitting 60k miles with brakes that still have plenty of pad material on them, so I don't know what it is with cars that eat up brake pads so quickly. I do use the engine to do a lot of the slowing down, especially from highway speeds, so that may be a factor in the longevity of my brakes.
Here is the trend, extremely gouging high priced crap. I used to be a ford man and had great luck my whole life. Now I own a chevy pick me up with a 4 speed automatic and towing packge,6 cylinder that screams. I really like the truck.
👍
If CEO Farley doesn't get Ford back on track soon, he is going to end up living in a Econoline van, DOWN BY THE RIVER!
I think it's better to fix up an older simpler vehicle instead of buying a new one these days
You have never driven a Rivian. Chevy Silvarado seems to be better electric truck than the Ford lightning. Everyone is now using proprietary software to diagnose their cars. People want the electronics in their cars.
I would love to see "right to repair" laws that eliminate the proprietary software requirements.
Right on! Don't boycott their lousy products. I'm keeping my 18 year old Toyota on the road because I can't get a reasonable stick shift, TV screenless, non turbo, safety gizmo free replacement. Give me cheap, reliable gimmick free cars!
I’m just sticking with my 2005 Toyota RAV4. And voting for Trump in 2024!
1996 GMC Yukon here and love it. MAGA!

Amsoil or Penzoil Ultra Platinum is the ONLY oil you should use.
20 years ago, I took my vehicle to a oil change place, got my "oil changed" After , did my few stops before I got home. Noticed the car was running hot. I checked the oil, none in there. I poured a quart of oil I had into it, it dumped onto the floor under the car. No no oil, no plug. I do my own changes ever since.
Thanks for doing such a great job for us Scotty.
Scotty, great channel. On range on EVs like F150. They always estimate time to charge at from 20% to 70% considered full, but range based on 100% to 0%. Ford F150 EV at 450? Probably more like 150 to 200, if you arent towing, or hauling, or in extreme cold, or running AC or heat non stop.
In a lot of these oil places do not even change their filter😅
i bought a 2011 honda crv and the injectors were filthy according to the mechanic so unfortunately it can happen
Untrue regarding F150 - still America’s favorite truck. Just get the price lowered about $15K. Did you forget the Maverick. America’s most favorite hybrid.
Scotty doesn't like any electric vehicles. He knows EVs are a threat to auto mechanic jobs.
Joyous and avuncular as usual his video's are enough to cheer anyone up.
How are you going to use the word avuncular then put an apostrophe in the word videos? 😂😂😂
I work with several guys that went out and spent 100 grand on a new truck and now are stuck with a $2000 a month car payment. It's not the ev trucks it all new trucks.
@scottykilmer i need your advise so i own audi a3 2015 2.0 tfsi and a chevy cuze 1.4l eco 2016 they both have 145k miles and the transmission has never been services so if i drain and refill will that prolog the life of the transmission or will it starts slipping and better leave it as i'm on a borrowed time till it breaks ? thank you
Just get yourself a 69 Ford falcon. 👍
Why would anyone want a 50-year plus car?
@@WALTERBROADDUSit's lasted that long, it will last another 50 years if you take care of it.
I prefer the Falcon Ranchero 😊
Try finding one.
owned a ford f-150 once... never again, had a new issue with it every month did so much work on it only for it to eventually just crap out and become a decoration on my driveway, eventually sold the peice of junk for $200
I have only seen one Ford Lightning pickup in the wild here in Southern California and it was too clean to be looked at like it work works construction construction
How about make a real LIGHTNING ⚡ V8 reg cab short bed and and exhaust that you can hear
Tictoc is false communication 😮
Disinformation Superhighway 🤣
Car manufacturers have long ago abandoned building cars that the public wants and needs. They are building the cars that the government wants people to be forced to buy.
Loves me some Scotty!! I always learn something new!
This the complaint I have. My hobbies include a large 4 stall living quarters horse trailer that’s almost 38 feet long. I live in Colorado and I see lots of RVs every weekend, heading for the mountains. Not only do they pull their camper trailers but they also take along their ATVs and UTVs, both of which use fossil fuels. I feel like there’s a very small minority of lawmakers that have never owned a vehicle, let alone driven one, that are trying to enforce their own agendas upon the people of middle America! If those people are so high and mighty and want to be earth friendly and compassionate, they should watch a couple of those bootleg videos of children forced to work in the open pit mines to gather the minerals for the electric vehicle batteries.
People will deny it exists
It wouldn't do any good. They'd just call it Russian disinformation.
Cool comment my dear ❤
@@MiguchaDonovanRicarardoMigucha Thank you. I’m just speaking from my heart. I worked for over 30 years in law enforcement to have a small nest egg for the hobbies I enjoy. It’s a real shame that people feel that they must force their policies and lifestyles upon other people they know nothing about. It’s just another observation that the “nuts and bolts and engines” of this country mean nothing more to a politician than a vote or an avenue to fill their pockets from money peddling DC activists and lobbyists.
@@thedocochoco. You're welcome my dear 👍💯Right about that 👍
