-Alex- Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m in the market for a new truck. My only real requirements are that it’s a crew cab and 4wd. Really just interested in full size trucks, but I kinda like the Tacomas also. Anybody know of any good deals? The best I’ve found so far is Coughlin has huge discounts ($14k) off 2018 Silverados. I absolutely hate the 2019 GM trucks, so having an “old” body style is actually a plus to me. I wouldn’t be opposed to a lightly used truck, but from what I’ve seen, the price difference between used and new isn’t much, and I’d guess the financing would better with new.

Red Beard Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 If you're not partial to brand, my buddy Kyle Jones works down at Rikart, I could give you his info if you want to see what he could hook you up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m not brand biased, I’ve found pros and cons with all of them, so price is the biggest draw for me currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robochan Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Why a truck with a little bed? Would a SUV be better? 20% MSRP should be attainable on half tons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 5.5’ bed works for me. I rarely need to haul anything that wouldn’t fit in that, but use a bed enough that I “need” a truck. Need the crew cab for 2 kids and the associated shit that comes with them, 4wd because the house we moved into last year is on top of a hill that is a private drive and doesn’t get treated in winter.

iwashmycar Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 You are right, something like this does seem like a decent deal....They are going for about the same used https://www.coughlincirclevillegm.com/new-Columbus-2018-Chevrolet-Silverado+1500-LT-3GCUKREC1JG605631 and cheaper still if you like chrome https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Springfield-d630_L27468?sourceContext=shareLink_true_0#listing=209093419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yep. The Z71s are what I’m leaning towards, not a fan of the chrome treatment on the Silverados and I think a level and some wheels would make a big difference. Just wanted to make sure there weren’t any similars deals on other brands before I pull the trigger. I assume the big markdowns are mostly because it’s an outgoing design on top of them being a leftover 2018. I’ve found F-150s and Ram 1500s cheaper, but they were stripped down fleet type trucks.

Those double cabs don't really have the leg room in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a double cab 14' Sierra. The back is really tight for people, the dog likes it just fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Seeing as how most GM dealers have remaining 2018s in stock, I'd suspect there are good deals out there to be had on Chevys and GMCs. Just my useless 2 cents, because I don't know of anything specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 you can get a 2.7tt crew cab f150 stx in that 34 range comparing to a 5.3 chevy its quicker to 60, faster 1/4, tows better, gets better gas mileage, and the stx package gives you an 8" touch screen and 20" wheels... i may be biased but so is the rest of america if you look at new truck sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I know it’s weird, but I prefer monochrome on the Silverados but like the chrome on the F150s, so not a big fan of the STX trucks.

Funny I hate the 18 up non stx front grills in black plastic or chrome but love the stx look. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
