Any End of The Year deals going on? Looking at 1500 LT or above or a 2500HD Duramax...
If you gotta go GM I’d go with the GMC over the Chevy, still ugly asF but not as ugly. Never in my life thought I’d say this, but if i was buying a new truck tomorrow it’d most likely be a Ford. And as little as i really need the diesel anymore it’d probably be a Raptor with the 3.5tt in it.
And to imagine the same company that just showed up with the new Corvette is same that also showed up with those abortions they called a truck.I feel the same way, 100%. I keep trying to look at the GMC trying to talk myself into it, but I just cant get over the looks on that Chevy, its SO ugly... I pray they fired the team who built it so we have a chance at redemption on the next go round. I dont NEED a new truck now, but I kind of want one. My duramax (from Selman) only has 130k on the clock.
I would have to look real hard between the dodge cummins and the GMC at this point. My uncle got a new 1 ton single rw cummins and its pretty nice.
Went to the dark side and bought 2021 Chevy 4x4 with the 3.0l diesel. So far, I love it. The look is growing on me. I've owned fords for the last 10 years and they are great as well, but I'm really digging the torque and 20 to 30 mpg of the diesel.
I'm looking at them tooI’m really curious to see how that engine holds up [emoji106]

those of you guys that buy cars and are good at haggling. what would this truck go for this late in the year?
The best time to try and buy is right at the end of month, quarter or year. Dealerships all have quotas to meet, and if they need to meet it (or are below the line), they are more likely to deal better to get another sale on their quota sheet at these times. If you go in at other times, they aren't in the panic yet to meet the quota.
As for you, it's vital that you do your research beforehand and go in knowing what invoice price is, and don't let them sucker you into playing that four square game. They always ask what you want your monthly cost to be, don't fall for it. You want their best price, and then make sure the dealer isn't going for the reach around by adding other BS on to pump that number back up for them. Your monthly is really going to be determined by your financing percentage and how much of a down you can do to drive the financed amount down. It really has nothing to do with their game.
In fact you should have already pre-qualified yourself with a bank or credit union offering YOU the best rate. Most lenders have payment calculators on their site. You know what your vehicle should cost, you know your down, and you know therefore about what your monthly will be. The hard part is getting the dealership to give you that vehicle price you want, and that's really the only negotiating to be done.
If you have a trade-in, don't even bring that up until you've got your price negotiated on the new vehicle. And then bring in KBB figures for your trade-in vehicle for private party and trade-in values so you don't get lowballed by the dealers. Fight to get as much value you can there.
Do those things and you will have gotten the better of the dealership scam artists.

Who built it?
Supposedly it’s all GM, but designed at one of their engineering facilities in Italy and not the US. Not sure if I like that LOL

What's the tow rating on that package?Well, i have only had this thing a few weeks, and i have logged about 1100 miles, and 800 are tow miles. Been back and forth to the desert 3 times towing 1 or 2 sxs's.
Gas mileage has been 18mpg lowest and 29 highest. I have to say that i am thoroughly impressed with the mileage and performance. I loved the ford ecoboost, but the torque of the diesel is hard to not like. I can only imagine when this thing gets broken in, how well it will do. As far as reliability, I'm not to worried as I will probably never own this thing long enough to be out of warranty. Since i bought in November the dealership was doing the black friday deal all month. I looked at Fords and Dodges as well, and none of them were really dealing except chevy. I even went to a buddy that is the general manager at a major ford dealer. Because inventory is so tight, he couldnt do much. I wound up with about $10k off on my deal. I got the truck for $49k out the door. I thought that was an ok deal.
