I wanted a place where the experts can discuss the new 2020 trucks (in particular two/possibly three). I know there are a bunch of threads all over the place but nothing really comparing what I am interested in - at least not easily accessible. So some of you may know, I am in mood to swap out of the Jeep and while initially I was looking at cars and what not, I got to thinking truck practicality is something that I wouldn't mind. Have a luxury SUV, a supercar so round things up a pick up truck makes sense.
Which lead me to some research and it seems like pretty aggressive leasing deals can be had on 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation. Spent some time browsing online and the look is growing on me. Also came across equally aggressive deals on Chevrolet Silverado 1500's. I know F150's were also decent but for the sake of this discussion I am not including those at all as I recently got my father in law one and while he loves it, if I am getting a pick up truck I'd want something else. Would love a Raptor but don't want to spend that kind of $.
So really based on the deals alone I am thinking either the GMC or the Silverado. I know they both have various engine options which I am a little confused about as to which one to go with. I know for sure if I do get a truck, I'd like a crew cab with short bed (that's not up for negotiation). Everything else is. Dodge Ram 1500 could have been an option but at least online I don't see any aggressive deals and I am not going to pay 6%+ interest on a pick up truck when I didn't even do that for an exotic. At least that's what it shows online.
So out of the two, what do you experts suggest I should look at more closely? What options are a must have? Do remember as this was solely motivated due to the 'good deal' aspect of it so I don't want to go too crazy or anything. I like the looks of the Sierra Elevation I think but don't hate the Silverado either. I didn't like that the GMC only has gear level in the steering wheel from what I could see at least in the Elevation package I am looking at. I plan to test drive a couple of different engine variations but what should I be aiming for? I was leaning towards the 4 cyl turbo as it will be driven on highways a lot so I could use the better mileage. It won't tow much other than a 10 seater boat and trailer in the summer. I'd imagine even the 4 cyl would be able to do that? How tall are these things? My work parkade entrance is 6'1" so I obviously would like to be able to fit it in there.
What dealer is the best to check out in Edmonton? I understand not everyone may be able to help me out with this part. I have not made up my mind by any means but this does seem to be a more 'practical' option if I am replacing the Jeep instead of another 2 door or 4 door sports/luxury car which I am also thinking about. And for fun - I made a post.
Oh and if the Ram does have better incentives than what I can see online - as in equal to what the GMC and Chevy is offering then I'd definitely keep it in the running so let me know. And for fun, I made a poll.
