The Future of Pricing
Although on many peoples' minds, I don't see much discussion. But I may have just missed it.
We sold our last toy hauler and F450 four years ago. Our youngest son started college so we figured we'd step back and punt. Use that money to help with college and save up for our next toy hauler just for me and the wife. I honestly figured (in 2018) that we would easily have been in another toy hauler by now. But then Covid hit.
I paid $72,000 for our Vengeance 40D12 in 2016. I paid just under $80,000 out the door for my 2017 F450 with the Ford extended warranty. Now, a similar toy hauler is at least $50,000 more and the truck is pushing $100,000 if you can find one. As badly as I miss it, I just can't justify this.
I don't think we'll ever see the prices I paid four years ago; especially on the campers. But will it get much better? Our dreams were possibly getting into a Luxe this time but now a Momentum, Valor, Cyclone, etc. are running around those 2018 Luxe prices. And now Luxe is hovering $250,000.
My biggest fear is if I give in and buy something, within six months the market crashes and I have horrible buyer's remorse. I know RVs aren't an economical investment but at the same time, I feel like I'm waiting to time the market like Bitcoin.
Any opinions on the future of RV pricing? The same thing for trucks?
