    1/2 ton versus 3/4 ton

    I would go with a 3/4 ton gasser for his use case. The difference in vehicle cost is minimal and you get much more capability. The ride might actually be better too with a 6k lb trailer behind it.

    Times are Changing with Used Car Prices

    The market price of used vehicles definitely seems to be reverting to the mean after being out of whack for years. I guess that is good for the potential buyer but for those who paid market adjustments and need to sell, not so much…

    Best looking 2024 1/2 Stock Off-Road Pkg Today

    As a Ford guy, I do not care for the refreshed design. I would have to vote GMC strictly on appearance as you requested.

    A thought for Tim

    I doubt most SUV's will bring the views he is looking for unless he ponied up the new Land Cruiser or GX550 and even then, I think the pickups are all the rage right now.

    Sold the Silverado for a ... loss?

    Those are beautiful places to visit for sure, would like to take a ride out to Montauk. I haven't been out there in many years.

    Sold the Silverado for a ... loss?

    He paid for the truck. I decided to pay for the insurance until graduation from college. Yes, I had to pay my own way from the day I started driving but it is a different world now. He is on notice about picking up his own tab when the time arrives.

    Sold the Silverado for a ... loss?

    Long story… Initially ordered Jan. 26, 2022 but was pushed to 2023. In May 2023, we had 4 drivers (as my two oldest boys 21 and 18) were driving and only 2 vehicles and it was becoming more difficult for us to share them all of the time. We decided that while my wife and I could share one, my...

    Sold the Silverado for a ... loss?

    Vehicles depreciate unfortunately. I am contemplating selling my Maverick. It only has 1,631 miles and is 8 months old. MSRP was $33,105 and the best offer I have is from Carvana at $28,8##. Hate losing $4,200 but am going to have to take the hit. Sometimes we make mistakes, some more costly...

    Buy a Ranger instead of Tacoma?

    I don’t know about that. There is Ranger PHEV sold elsewhere in the world so it is feasible that we could see that arrive first. Maverick refresh likely for 2025 MY, maybe hybrid AWD option.

    $10,000 Challenge

    Try to find a one owner truck with maintenance records and clean CarFax. You will pay more but you are getting piece of mind knowing the truck was well maintained and care for.

    Help with first Truck Purchase?

    I also had an ad for $6k off GMC if you have a trade. Just a thought. Typically used would be the way to go. My opinion differs from Tim and turbocharged engines, keep an eye on maintenance records. What about certified pre-owned, any deals out there?

    Help with first Truck Purchase?

    I agree with the consensus, go half ton. You will want the payload and towing capability in addition to the interior space. Having owned a 2019 Ranger, the mid size is way too small for your needs IMHO. I am biased being a Ford fanboy but I do not own the current generation. My father loves his...

    Best Manufacturer Website

    I can only speak to using Ford and Toyota sites. I have been messing with the Ford build and price tool for as long as I can remember, have always found it straightforward and easy to use. Biggest flaw is getting them out months after the vehicle is released. They have fixed that somewhat in...
