Traded in two vehicles, and bought a new truck

I was just looking the other day at a very similar truck to yours, but I think it had the 7.2kw generator. Sticker was high $60s but the dealer told me they were selling for sticker (of course he’d say that) minus rebates. Good to see you did well on yours. I was considering selling my Raptor to a dealer after 2 years and 16k miles for more than I paid, getting a brand new truck and putting about $10k in my pocket but can’t pull the trigger yet. Very sharp truck, enjoy!
 
First Congrats on new vehicle! Looks very sharp!!!

Yep! used value is crazy, i just sold my tundra. Carmax didnt give me good so i went with different dealer who only buys vehicles for auction.
 
Congrats. You got a good price considering the market. The color is nice, too.

I have a 2020 Laramie with the mild hybrid and don't like the feel of the regenerative braking. I would think a normal hybrid would be felt more in this regard, but a lot if people don't mind or even notice. So with used prices how they are, I just ordered a 2021 RAM Limited. Had a 2018 F150 and it had many problems so won't be going back to Ford ant time soon (and I just like the RAM better).
 
redhat-how do you like the brakes on it so far? I’ve read some posts and reviews and brake feel seemed to be the main complaint.

I can see where they are coming from in regards to a different brake feel. In the few days driving, I have become mostly accustom to it. Still a bit different, but nothing bad. If anything, I find myself braking a touch sooner and longer allowing for the regenerative braking to do its thing. Truth be told, I was probably hard on brakes before. This might be an all around good thing -- easier on brakes and recapturing that energy.

I know the hybrid already has been driving easier.
 
Thank you all for the congrats -- love the truck. I have an appt. on the 24th for a spray in bedliner. Beyond that, I have WeatherTech mud flaps on order. My other plans for the truck this spring/summer includes driving and enjoying it and an oil change here or there.

I don't use my pickup any more, good to know dealers are buying rigs outright.

Dealers sure are i sold a 2008 gmc sierra extended cab with 42k miles i got 17,000 from a local used car lot. I probably could have gotten 1-2k more but I didn’t want to play the private party tire kicker, low ball games. Plus many buyers in that price range would need to finance and I didn’t want to go thru that. Cashiers check for title DONE.

wait you’re driving a 60k new truck while your wife is driving a 2005 suburban?

Yes and she loves it. She puts on 6 miles a day. I put on 65.

You say that as if a 2005 Suburban, clean from Texas, in A1 shape is a bad thing.
 
Super nice! I do hope the mpg creeps up some for you. My 2.7 does well. I recently switched tires to yoko go15s and am bringing in 22mpg or slightly higher in my commute, which is a smooth and easy drive. I think yours will do better, and the power inverter would be a huge boon. I have to admit, if I had the coin and wanted a new truck, yours would have my eye, yessir.
 
I really like how the wheels look.

2400 watt generator? Gas generator in the bed? Or and inverter outlet from the engine? Sounds handy though.

Which vehicle would you take if you could only bring one vehicle, and have to leave (sell) the vehicle when you depart for good?
