If you’re leaning towards the diesel, it could be a great choice for both power and fuel efficiency. I had a similar experience with my last truck and really appreciated the diesel's performance. My factory order took about 8 weeks to come through, so plan for a bit of a wait.
Funny thing—when I was trading in my old truck, I found a dealer with the exact model I wanted but in a color I didn’t like. I ended up using a service to ship my new truck across the country, and it worked out well. If you’re considering a similar option, you might want to check out the cost to ship a car across country; it’s often more affordable than you’d expect. Good luck with your trade-in and new truck!
