If you don't need a new truck right now, I'd hold off. They are all but giving it to you for MSRP. You'll be very upside down, more so than usual.

Check KBB and Truecar. My RST is rated between 38-41k. I flirted with the idea of getting something new during the incentives the past few months and had offers of 38k from multiple dealiars, but they wouldn't budge on theirs. I suspected I could get it closer to the 40k had I pushed. Being a Trail Boss, I suspect they'll be a bit stronger. KBB is at least a good starting point before talking to dealiars.

It begins when it was first delivered/put into use. Make sure you keep your paperwork from when you purchased your vehicle. Mine had 5500 miles on it, but was a manager demo - it was never marked "in service" and my paperwork doesn't reflect that it was in use. Miles at delivery had 5500. The apps all say my warranty expires in July, even though I bought it in October and at 36000. The paperwork shows otherwise. From the 2020 Warranty and Owner Assistance guide: "Warranty Period The warranty period for all coverages begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put in use and ends at the expiration of the coverage period."

Great looking truck, welcome!

Depending on your height, you may not be happy with the Ridgeline or Titan. Definitely drive them and give them a hard look as much as you can. I wanted to like both trucks, but the Ridgeline only has 40.9" of front legroom and it was noticeable when sitting inside as I'm 6'1" and have long legs. I also didn't like not having a center console to rest my arm on. I really, really wanted to like the 20 Titan, but it wasn't much better coming in at 41.8" of legroom. I had an 04 Titan back in the day and loved it, but the new one I just couldn't get comfortable. I also felt to high up, having to almost lean down to get a good feel of the road. The truck itself is impressive, and honestly due to the overall sales of the truck, you could probably get the best deal on the Titan these days making it a good value overall. The engine is a beaut and sounds amazing and the new center stack and infotainment system is a welcome addition. Just wish I could get comfortable. Another thought, you're almost looking at all off-roading packaged trucks. If this is based on need, the Ridgeline may not be the best truck for you. It's AWD system is good for what it does, but can't compete to a true packaged off-road truck. If just going light off-road, it'll do just fine and probably serve you very well. There's other threads regarding Ram v. GM trucks, so not much to add to that. I'll just say the Ram rides very well and would most likely serve you well. But out of all the trucks, I would definitely make sure I had a good extended warranty on it. Lastly, if the GM's aren't to your liking, you may want to take a look at the Tundra. It may just check all the boxes, especially if you like the Titan. It's an older truck and can definitely use some modernization, but it's a good riding truck - albeit it rides like a truck, it's dependable, and that engine is almost bullet proof these days. Their well made, but expensive.

This was my first thought. I really hope they do something for the 19/20 MY, similar to what they did with Carplay/Android on the 16 MY (free upgrade). I can't imagine it would be more than a software upgrade, can't see them doing much on the hardware side right before a major interior revamp the following year.

This is my biggest gripe with the new system as it worked wonderfully on the old one. Sadly, GM removed text functionality from the My Link system. They're recommending to use either Apple Carplay or Android Auto.

I had a 2019 Ram Bighorn for 7 months. It was in the shop 6 times, all for issues with the truck. This is all on top of the manufacturer recalls I had done during each oil change (twice if I remember correctly) - but I don't consider a recall to be an issue as I didn't identify it, FCA did. Main issues were the backup camera - 3 visists, brake squeal - 2 visits, and a power folding mirror issue. The backup camera they replaced all parts for and still couldn't resolve, finally on the third visit they completely took the wiring apart and found that the assembly line installed the driver chair into the wiring, so depending on how I was sitting, it would pinch it just right causing it not to work. The brake squeal was never resolved and neither was the power folding mirror (in trying to fold it would violently fold and unfold then finally calm down to fold itself). The RAM drove beautifully and was very, very comfortable. I know others who have a 2020 Ram and have had zero issues. It could just be I had the new model woes as I had a 2010 Ram with no issues. My dad also had a 2010 Ram with no issues. I would buy one again. That said, my 2019 Silverado has given me no issues. My 2016 Colorado never gave me an issue. My Silverado is comfortable, except for the dead pedal and stiffer suspension - however it's not a deal breaker. The navigation and backup camera are better in the Silverado - although I wish it had just a bit bigger screen like the Ram (8.4", wasn't interested in the 12"). Bose sounds a lot better, but that is subjective. I like the bed on the Silverado better as well. MPG is about the same for both trucks. My .02 - drive both, see which one you like and what makes the most sense for your budget. Fair warning - inventory for all 3 manufacturers stinks right now, it's a sellers market.

Will the 2020 HC cluster work on a 2019 RST? I know there are a few graphical changes at the least.

Quick update on my set. Very happy with them so far. We've had a lot of rain, but usually at night so I haven't had a chance to get a good feel for them on wet pavement. This weekend we did a day trip down to my deer lease and back. About 60% highway/40% city driving and some light off-roading. They handled the mud very well, never once questioned getting around. Average MPG was 21.4. I'm very happy with the tire, and my wife is just as happy. At this point, I would recommend them to anyone considering them. Proof of the MPG.

They're 275/65r18's. I went with P as I don't tow much. Haven't been able to get out in the mud or rain still, but so far very happy with them.

Tires were installed today. Didn't do much driving on them, roughly 50 miles at most. So far, very happy with them. The ride is significantly better. On the Wildpeaks, going 70-80 you could really feel the vibrations. On these, they are very smooth. Some road feel, as to be expected, but no more vibration. Almost as good as the OEM highway tires where you couldn't tell you were speeding. Wife could even tell a difference and is happy. I'll do more testing here soon, especially an MPG test and hopefully rain and off road. But, my very rough and initial review - I'm happy. Snapped a few pics on the way home. I'll get more here soon.

The Wildpeaks looked fantastic on the truck and handled well on the road and during some heavy rain, but couldn't shake the vibration. It's unfortunate, but I have the Toyo AT3's on the way. Discount Tire should have them early next week. I'll post some pics and driving impressions. I'm anticipating it being a good fit as I've ran Toyo OP's in the past and had good luck with them.

Did you move forward yet? I bought a pair of Wildpeaks over the weekend and have already had them balanced 3 times and still have vibration issues. Going to return them and am leaning strongly to the Toyo's.

I had new Falken Wildpeak A/T3W put on today. Replaced factory Goodyear Wrangler highway tires. Also gave it a quick bath after all this rain and added a 6 3/4 Antenna Source antenna. On the fence if I like it or not. I never listen to AM/FM and had just taken my factory antenna off, but thought this may add some character and functionality in case I ever need AM/FM for some reason. It did just fine in the car wash, at least.

Thanks. I did some digging and found manuals from 2019 that had that part listed, so definitely looks to be the case. This may just be the best mod yet as I really dislike that faux wood in the truck.

Any reason these wont fit a 2019? They look great compared to that fake wood they put in them. I've been wanting to do something about that since day 1. I imagine it wasn't hard to install? Just pop out the old and pop in the new?
