If Snap-On built Trucks

[mrholeshot]

First this is not a Snap-On bashing thread. Love the stuff but just makes me think. See the humor please

I was thinking about buying a new truck recently and the truck I priced was a 2010 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew with 4 full size doors,Leather, Alloy wheels, 5.4 engine, automatic, 4X2 and towing package all wrapped up in white paint. Out the door I got a price of 32,874. Still thinking that one over because I'm not sure I want to go into debt at this stage of my life and my Old 2003 F150 lariat is still putting it down with no payments. Then the thought hit me.


F150 Supercrew $32,874 Curb weight 6019 lbs 231 inches long

Snap On KRL 1065 Roll Cab and two KRL1232 Top Chest to cover the massive bottom. $35,285
145 inches long and Total weight is 2995lbs.

The Snap-On Box has 40 year old technology, No electronics, no brakes (wheel locks don't count) no engine, transmission, differential, radio, seats, air bags, etc. nothing but sheet metal bent to shape with some roller slides and casters and some locks.

If Snap-On Built trucks what would they cost? Funny but interesting thought and makes me wonder why tool boxes are so high.

snap-on would not make them, they would badge a ford and mark it up 35%. Then you can get your new truck for 20$ a week!

 

[warmpancakes]

theres no possible way snap on could add more chrome to them

 

[shotgunfatcat]

Don't they make trucks......Or at least rebadge em. I wonder what this would cost fully loaded......

hahahahahahahaha!!! More like 400 dollars a week for 360 weeks, lol

I've been taken for a ride on a few of those,

I'm sure there are a few guys that can tell you what they cost fully loaded. I can tell you what it cost to unload it,

the door latch would be a hole you put your fingers in a slide over a plastic tab, then the seat will slide out on bearing slides. based on the model the weight capasity of the seat would be sewn into the head rest.

...and try to sell it a few years later for $32000. After all, the buyer would be saving on interest!

Sorry buddy, some people do know how to use cash and 0% balance transfers/interest offers.

Fully loaded?

 

[chadster1]

Fully loaded?

Yes. Cash or Cashiers Check only. Cash preferred.

 

[mrholeshot]

I knew that was coming, Really didn't think it would be that much. Franchise must be included.

he will give you the keys and the title and take his laptop and leave you with a price list and he will walk home at that point...

*pic of snappy truck*

Why would I buy that when I can get a Harbor Freight truck for like $300?

I think I could afford to call a cab.

Rusty would be very happy with my orders right after that.

That'd be a Blue Point truck

 

[D9H 90V]

Either way you go only one will last a life time and have good resale value and I aint talkin about the pickup

 

[trebomb]

I think the closest example would be any hand-built luxury car (Bentley, RR, Ferrari): highest quality materials, hand assembled by a skilled worker, and sold in small enough numbers that they can't count on large volume to make profit.

Not that SO is Ferrari, but they are best-of-category.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

 

[blue dog]

Valve stem covers alone would cost a few grand.

You can find them all day on Craigslist for 20 grand.

 

[kythri]

Not full of tools, you can't.

 

[mrholeshot]

yeah but you will have a tough time getting the smell of the dead owner out of the truck, lol

 

[blue dog]

Not sure where the snap-on toolboxes are made but the truck was probably built at Ford's Dearborn, Mich., truck plant buy well paid American workers.

They would be way over priced for the quality of the product....and SO would not honor their warranty.
