It's a lease. I leased this one because it's a dedicated tow vehicle and I was flipping purchased trucks every three years anyway. Generally, at three years, the purchased vehicles were usually a wash with payoff. So, the lease made sense and shifted any loss of value back to the lessor...pre-covid.
Looks like it will be a bit more difficult to dispose of your leased GM vehicle. My 2019 GMC Sierra has a boatload of equity in it, but GM financial will no longer allow sales to third parties, such as other make dealers or Vroom. Told me it was to allow GM dealers to have more access to used vehicle. More like allowing GM dealers to low-ball you out of equity. Nothing in my lease agreement mentions selling to third parties, but GM financial stated that they'd just return any attempts at payoff.

Actual facts.

Only wiring?
Here's GMC's version of a camper package:
Power feed to accommodate a backup and roof emergency light1
A single 220-amp alternator
Heavy-duty front springs
Under body skid plates to help protect the transfer case from debris
May require additional optional equipment
Which would you say is better for a slide-in camper? That power feed and skid plates really help with a camper..
At this point, I'm not even going to bother. My new F250 is scheduled to be built next week, so out with the GMC and in with the Ford. I have no illusions that Ford is better, just GM has really dropped the ball in many ways....from service to customizable options.
Guess you missed the TFL episodes with towing behind the 6.6 and 7.3. 11:50 compared to 8:42.
I went the other way this time. Been GM for years, but GM gave up on me with their lack of customizable trucks. Ordered a 2022 F250 Lariat 7.3/4.30 for my next tow rig. If GMC would throw a 10 speed (comparable to the 1500) in a 2500, and allow for at least a 4.10 rear), I'd probably come back. Also, the Chevy is still the most hideous truck on the road.
I ended up ordering a Ford this time around. I was looking to GMC again, but we couldn't make a love connection. Ordered an F250 Lariat 7.3/4.30. This tow rig should tow real nice. Really wish GM would offer a 10sp option and some ratio choices.
