I’d get smaller rims on it. Try 18s

Inventory likely will be tighter in April with plant shut down and coming off strike. But May/June likely to be bloody for them if we are in a full recession. Going to be lots of lease and year old trucks dumped at dealerships between now and then if this economic shutdown goes past April 3rd.

Drove the new Ram Eco today, after having driven the new Silverado and F150 diesels and have to say the Ram ride and seat comfort is superior to the other two. With that said my last Ram had a lot of glitches and soured me on the brand. Did 20 mile highway test loops (70 to 75 MPH) on all three and they were pretty close (mid 20s) but the Ram did best, all crew cab 4x4s.

No doubt that 2500hd you bought is a difference maker. Very nice trucks and if I was towing over 7k on a regular basis i'd look for a similar truck.

I think up to 9300 lbs towing and 1860 payload is pretty capable for a 1/2 ton truck. Sounds like you need a 3/4 ton to do what you need.

about .20 difference around Dallas area. Seems like Premium runs more than diesel.

Difference being homes generally appreciate on a yearly basis while vehicles generally depreciate. So a person who leases would be one that never keeps a vehicle longer than 36 months and also wants to have an exact depreciation amount locked in. There can also be additional tax benefits for those that use the vehicle in a business. Also people will take the savings from the lease and invest it in the market with hopes they make money there rather than having it depreciate while paying on a vehicle they do not intend to keep. I am a 10 to 15 year owner guy, so obviously leasing doesn’t make sense for me.

THere will be plenty popping up on ebay and craigslist as the trucks get totaled. Just keep checking.

Chevrolet running lease special on Silverado. Granted not your trim at that price, but still shows there are leases.

Thanks, let us know how it does if you do any towing. I am considering the 2.7 as I wait for the diesel. I live on flat terrain and tow less than 5k, so either application fits me.

Most credit unions consider 1 to 2 year old cars as new
