This doesn't really take a study.  Carvana a couple months ago offered more for mine than what I paid for it new (mind you, I got my for 17k under MSRP, so that does help).  That's a nice offer that I wanted to take, but I have since struggled to find a replacement truck.  I'm just waiting for the '22 AT4 to come out with the updated interior now.

Bought my 2014 slt 6.2 in 2016 for 33k with 20k miles

 

Now has 60k miles and can sell it for like 31-32k!

 

40k miles, 5 years, $2k in depreciation on a nearly new hot rod luxo truck. Hell yeah.

 

but then I remember the $15k in fuel lol

 

probably going to sell it and get base electric f150. $32.5k after tax credit.

 

and instead of 10mpg of premium I get like the equivalent of like 60mpg.

You do know that base model only has 200 miles of range and a snails pace changer...right? A working model cost $10,000 more!! Also a tax credit is people paying themselves back money they sent the government...right?

Yes.

 

99% my driving is urban/suburban, thats why I average 10mpg. Realistically it’s more like 8 mpg but it’s offset by the brief highway travel I’m getting 25mpg.
 

being that electric can recoup a lot of the energy used during braking, it’s perfect for this area.

 

literally 15 miles away takes 30-60 minutes

 

that’s $5-10 in fuel, or like $1 for the electric truck


My range is only like 250 miles now, and with electric, everyday I start with a full tank.

Then it's a perfect fit for you. I expect allot of others as well. Me...I don't climb in the cab for under 100 miles so for me a200 mile limit a non-starter. However a cheap electric two seater would be nice for say, a bunny hop to the barber shop 😉

    • Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.        
    • I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
    • I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉 
    • 4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.    
    • 2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
