For what its worth all the 2024 1500s at my dealer are heavily discounted.  I rarely buy new and never trade in.  But I just bought a 24 LTZ for $13.500 off MSRP and got a great trade in price.

Do you like it enough to buy, without others' opinions? That is all anyone on the site can really provide.

They’re about to be two model years old. Not enough of a discount. Look up low mileage used trucks that’s how much of a hit you’ll it will be once it’s registered.

Don't think I understand the "Lemon" comment. No more so than any other new truck.    Opinion varies but I don't see a new left over, even two years old, as equivalent to a two-year-old used

 I once knew a fella that went by the mantra that the only thing 4WD gets you is further to walk out when you do get stuck. Somewhat true in DEEP snow I guess, but 4WD does certainly have it's place.

 

I suppose if you off road. If a pavement critter a True Trac some Blizzak's and an adult driver will take you anywhere a 4X4 will. Cheaper and easier to maintain; gets better milage..............

The sticker on the LTZ is 59095.00, asking price is 47.6k.

We don't get much snow here in Fort Wayne. I've used 4wd in my '18 LT probably a dozen times total in 6 years..

I'm old enough that if we do get that rare 8 inches in a day, that I'll stay home.

My biggest concern is, will the 14 months of sitting on the lot cause problems from possible rodentia etc...

 My thought was to take it and have it put on a lift and look it over and under for anything like chewed or repaired harnesses etc.

If that passes, I'm thinking offering 42k...

The RST doesn't have all the safety options I'm looking for.

Thanks for all the input and discussions!

Sounds like a good deal Dave. Its still a new truck. LTZ is a higher trim level.

Dealers are motivated to move product because the economy is a disaster and is not going to improve anytime soon if ever. I would wait till the end of the year as i still think some places will be touching 20k off 2024 models with how bloated these hack auto manufactures back loaded msrp values over the last 5 years. All of these manufactures need to understand people are no longer going to pay anything even remotely close to their fake msrp numbers.

Only thing that surprised me.  The deep discounts did not apply to the 2500.

Just seemed they are trying to offload the 1500s.

Volume, look at any dealer lot and you will always see x10 more 1500's then 2500's and the same goes for 2500's vs 3500's.

Dont add factory leather to the RST get something quality. The leather in the LTZ and higher is so much better youll think the RST seats are plastic in comparison 

Are you thinking the leather in the LTZ and High Country are better than RST leather?


Its my understanding they are exactly the same. They are all fake leather. I just switched from High Country to LTZ and they both had crappy leather interiors. Like most other vehicles.

I would not buy a 2WD truck, resale value in super low. At least in my area.

Yes, the leather in the LTZ and High Country IS better than the RST. No they are not the same.

I`m going to order a 2025 2wd truck shortly.🙂

 

At 61 yrs old, I don`t know how we made it back in the day. 4wd trucks were prolly 10 to 30% of trucks, depending on location. Now, they are 95% or so.

 

Resale? Everyone loses on any vehicle. Maybe a classic car. Maybe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
