Last one I owned was a ‘17 or ‘18…:don’t remember.

Had around 92k miles when I traded it. I’ve got a Ram right now, but I’ll certainly look at the GMC AT4 next go round as I think that’s the best looking truck out right now. I’ve been very lucky I guess, have never really had any major mechanical issues on any vehicle I’ve owned and that includes all kinds of makes.

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

Based on the links you provided, it looks like

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.**

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
