Q1 2025 Truck & 4x4 Market Update and Outlook with Brian Ellis, CEO and Co-Founder, Fourbie Exchange (fourbie.com / @fourbieexchange.com)

Classic 4x4

On this episode, Chris is joined again by Brian Ellis, Co-Founder and CEO of Fourbie Exchange. They discuss shifting macroeconomic drivers caused by tariffs, the past performance and their outlook on the broader collector vehicle, truck, and 4x4 markets, changing marketplace dynamics, and which trucks and 4x4s are winners, losers, buys, sells, and holds.

In the first quarter of 2025, the collector vehicle market continued to balance out and experience stabilization and appreciation. The first quarter saw several historic record-breaking transactions and a momentous dollar volume milestone. As the first quarter concluded, volatility in the macroeconomic landscape, caused by politically motivated tariffs, brought uncertainty back to the collector vehicle market. Though the first-quarter metrics were promising, a changing macroeconomic landscape could impact the performance of the collector vehicle market for the remainder of 2025. Although there are some soft spots in the truck and 4x4 markets, generational change continues to drive truck and 4x4 values, highlighting the segment as a new class of "blue-chip" collector vehicles. Time will tell what the rest of 2025 has in store, but we are cautiously optimistic.
