Hi everybody, FNG here. Looking for a place to get feedback/opinions on getting a new truck.
Little backstory. Currently own a 2011 Ram 1500. Pretty basic truck but upgraded with a new entertainment system, little lift kit and some rims. It’s a decent truck and I’m really happy with it rn. However, the cam went out and is gonna cost some $$$ to fix. Been having some other smaller issues come up and I’m just getting tired of dealing with them. I’ve also been saving up for awhile now and have been thinking it’s time to get a new truck.
So, I’m dealing with the whole buying process right now and trying to find the right truck and am really trying to balance two different things atm.
1.) looking for the “right” truck and brand. I’m pretty bias towards dodge and idk if I’m ready to switch brands, but I have found some I like. Love the look and utility of the rebels, the gms AT4s and even the trail bosses. Not a huge fan of ford but might switch if it was the right look/price and definitely not a fan of the Toyotas. So, looking for some feedback/experience with the mentioned trucks.
(Side Note: live along the Rocky Mountain Front in Montana, so kinda looking for something that can handle the weather)
2.) do I wait for the market to crash/splurge a little and get a new one with all the warranties? Or do I stick with new-ish and low miles which are a little cheaper at the moment?
Hope this all makes sense! Any advice or feedback would really be appreciated. Getting a little overwhelmed with the whole thing as it will be my first vehicle purchase.
Thanks!!
