I unloaded my 2019 LTZ Z71 with 17k miles on Saturday for 41k to Carmax. Carvana only offered 39.4k. After four window leaks, issues with 1-2 shift slam when cold, and random electrical anomalies, it wasn't worth keeping.

Carvana is giving me 42,200 will be picking it up some time this week. I can't believe how easy of a process it was

55 for an RST? I see two problems...paying a bit too much and being offered way too little.    Sell it outright. Don’t get bent by the same dealer twice. Only chance at somewhat of a recovery.

What did you get for a replacement?

Trade and cash-buy offers are changing weekly right now. A lot of it depends on the residuals dealers are getting passed down to them, and a lot of that data changes with the rebates on NEW vehicles. It's all interconnected. 

 

I bought my 2019 RST 5.3L CC Z71 for $43K in March 2019 ($54K MSRP). Last KBB I did on it was $42K, and I think I could get close to that on trade, from what my buddy who owns a dealer told me. I have 15K miles. 

 

Bottom line is... trucks are depreciating very safely right now. If you got a good deal when you bought, you should be doing well.

But when the time comes, it'll probably be a Tundra.

Well she's gone and paid off now. Carvana was a great experience. Paid cash on the barrel for a 2006 ford escape, feels much better to own it and be out from under that debt. The ford needs a few things, it won't be my forever car, but if I can get 2-3 years from it I'll be happy. 95k miles, needs all of the front ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links. 3.0 v6 so it needs a front bank valve cover gasket (oil weepage). Other than that just the typical ford rust. Wifes car, and my mortgage are the only debt left. Really can't wait to not owe anyone anything. Wish I would have never got this Silverado honestly.

I have a 2019 RST 4x4 with the 5.3 and paid $43k for it - MSRP was $53k. That was two years ago. Ford dealership offered me $42k for it just now.

Same exact #s here. 
 

Starting to look at trading mine for a 21 AT4 Carbon Pro 3.0L. Good incentives this month.

Being debt free is the best feeling ever.  (next to marrying an awesome woman) Enjoy your freedom.

The average new car price now is around $40,000.  Given how much more expensive things are now.. having adjusted for inflation, and given the low number of new vehicles available on dealer lots until production returns to normal, used car prices are at a premium.  If you want to sell, NOW is the time to do so.  If you want to buy.. NOW is NOT the time to do so.  Don't expect many if any end of year deals for 2021 models or any huge manufacturer rebates or deals this year.

new trucks cost same as used ones is what ive been finding. if not going to high volume dealer or someone who can match them than prices are crazy.....

 

given that i can sell mine for what i paid i get same on back end.....i bought a 2019 for 36k ( MSRP 48k or so)  a new elevation is 42k but my existing truck that should be 35-37k is worth 42-43k...more if i sell it private.......so i guess its a wash, but used in my area is crazy high....can get new one for same as used 2020 or 2019.....

 

i bought a 2500 back in april when deals were good and financed the whole truck so basically just rented it for a year.....and inventory is crazy low on HD....just not using it as much as i thought, but if i was to take huge hit i just keep it, not worth it otherwise......

 

if i could just sell mine and ride it out i would but i need a replacement.....so its either used or new and seems new is about the same.....very similar to even back to last summer.....except my truck shot up another 3k

 

crazy world

If it were something that I absolutely needed, it would be different. I got it just to keep up with the Jones'.. owing as much on my truck as I do on my house just rubbed me the wrong way after the "honeymoon" wore off of the truck (after the first week..)

I will, if everything goes as planned, we can be done with everything by the end of 2021. Short of another mortgage when we move, I hope to not have debt again.

Was the $42k trade allowance or cash value? Dealers like to play games with the numbers and wording. Ask them if they'd write you a check for the truck right now at $42k. If they won't, it was a "trade allowance".

It's still too similar to the 2019, I am waiting until the 2022 refresh. Ford decided to keep the cheap plasticky dashboard. At least Chevy's more stylish.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
