Based on the links you provided, it looks like

you are in the NRV and the '24 is in Mt Airy. Would it be so horrible to just drive to Mt Airy and buy the truck from that dealership instead of trying to haggle with Shelor and pay the freight? I've driven to NC to buy a car before.

Car buying question...
HokieGator • 01/29/25 07:01 PM ET
I actually flew out to an Iowa dealership a couple of years ago to purchase

I talked to shelor and my sales person said they work with that dealer
HokieGator • 01/30/25 05:02 PM ET
It's unlikely they will give you as good of a deal on a truck they have to
TravelingHokie • 01/29/25 09:41 PM ET
Good to know. That's why I wanted to find a 24 that was the same as the 25

I'd buy a Toyota.... :) **
Vtskier1 • 01/29/25 08:54 PM ET
I would, if not for the tiny back seats.**
HokieGator • 01/29/25 08:55 PM ET
…I’d give them away but my wife won’t let me**
chumley • 01/29/25 08:07 PM ET
My advice: buy the one with the fewest bells and whistles.
MP4VT2004 • 01/29/25 07:31 PM ET
But with the biggest V8. :)**
EDGEMAN • 01/29/25 07:36 PM ET
Does any 2024 or newer truck come with a V8?**
MP4VT2004 • 01/29/25 08:10 PM ET
Yes, Chevy and GMC both do.
vthokieq • 01/29/25 08:34 PM ET
Good to know. It's a shame GM's transmissions are so soft these days.
MP4VT2004 • 01/29/25 08:46 PM ET
Even their Allison transmissions?
EDGEMAN • 01/30/25 04:44 AM ET
I’ve owned two Silverados and didn’t have an issue
vthokieq • 01/29/25 08:50 PM ET
What years? Seems like it's a more modern problem.**
MP4VT2004 • 01/29/25 08:52 PM ET
Last one I owned was a ‘17 or ‘18…:don’t remember.
vthokieq • 01/29/25 09:14 PM ET
Probably not. If Dodge dropped their Hemis, you know everyone else...
EDGEMAN • 01/29/25 08:13 PM ET
Yeah, that's what I thought I had heard.
MP4VT2004 • 01/29/25 08:31 PM ET
I take it you won't be a fan of the 3.5L Hybrid engine. **
HokieGator • 01/29/25 08:08 PM ET
Here's the two trucks for reference.
HokieGator • 01/29/25 07:29 PM ET
and here's the other one.
HokieGator • 01/29/25 07:30 PM ET
You already decided**
astrohokie • 01/29/25 07:20 PM ET
It doesn't hurt to ask.
EDGEMAN • 01/29/25 07:15 PM ET
I think the issue is theirs is a '25 and the one in NC is a '24. Salesman
