Wheels locks for $199 and “Nitrogen” for $249.

I use on-line sites like Autotrader and Carguru and CarFax and put the search on “nationwide.”

I wouldn’t give up just yet ... in my neck of the woods Chevy dealers are offering discounts of more than $12,800 off the top for any Silverado four-door. For starters. Before negotiation.

I’d be lucky to afford a new pair of glasses after paying what Chevy’s asking for one of these.

Risk to public safety and security seems a bit of a stretch...

To each his own I guess.  I personally like the Ram design the best, but would never pull the trigger due to FCA reliability concerns.  

This. I have only owned GM trucks. I have owned four of them, and loved them all. I’m at 13 years and counting on my ‘06 Sierra, but if I were to buy a new truck now, it’d be an F-150. The new Silverado is HIDEOUS, and the GMC is very bleh. I like the way the Ram looks, but I am not prepared to trust FCA’s quality…

This. You’d have to have your eyes closed to sign on a new Silverado.

Towing yes, payload still is fairly underwhelming. Each brand has a “max payload package” and advertises a 2.5k to 3.0k payload, but those are pretty narrowly available.

Or one that didn’t hit every branch on the ugly tree during it’s fall.

I have always been a Ford truck guy, too. Unfortunately, all the Ford dealers in my area were price gouging in 2015, so I bought a Ram. I’m ready for a new truck now and I think I’ll stick with the Ram. It’s been a great truck.

One thing I never understood is why GM doesn’t capture sales of the Sierra and Silverado in the same scope. If you add up the sales of both trucks (which are basically identical aside from varying trim levels and a different grille), the GM pickup is still ahead of the Ram and a LOT closer to the sales of the F150.

I manage the fleet for a farm (almost entirely 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks) and we tried a couple of Dodges but the just didn’t have the durability we were looking for.

Seriously. It wasn’t until I was a senior level software engineer making well over 6 figures before I felt comfortable paying close to that much for an automobile.

I tried to price out a Tahoe...that did not last long. And I see A LOT of them on the road! They are like $65k lightly optioned!

Right, trucks are typically used by working class folks. Yet, they’re not priced for working class people.

It is weird when a top of the line half ton truck is priced way above the national average income holders budget. I see how this country has an average of $135,000 in debt per household.

Well, for the people that want the latest and greatest, why would they buy a left over 2018 “Old” style when they can wait a few months and get the 2019 “Current” style. I’m sure it’ll rebound soon. Unless we’ve finally reached the point where people have decided enough is enough, and realize trucks shouldn’t cost…

We need to get back to this:

Maybe the tipping point of 55k for a mildly optioned truck has finally hit critical mass.
