I bought a 2016 silverado crew cab with the 6.2L abd 8 speed trans, and put a 6" lift on it and 35s and it does everything I want it to and still pulls great, cant even tell its lifted or anything. I absolutley love it! :twocents:
But go drive them all and see what one best fits you.

Does anyone know of a dealership that isn't a complete screw job a guy should check out when buying a new rig? It's time for a new pickup or a used one with low miles. I'm thinking 1/2 ton 4x4 with a crew cab. Right now I'm liking the looks of the Ram trucks but driving all the brands will be necessary before a choice is made.
Are you a Costco member? Looking into this again I used it 17 years ago to buy my truck and it was very hassle free

I drove the Tundra at Toyota of Puyallup and really liked it. Just having a hard time getting rid of my Tacoma because I still love it.
My Tundra is maybe half dead at 300,000 miles. I'll be in the market in about ten years or so :chuckle:

Can get the same gas for 8k less. Happy with mine 25-28mpg, tows up to 9k
Look at the flip up center front seat. Handy and you wouldnt know its flip up without trying it.

I bought a new tundra not too long ago, tried to go through costco and thought it was a pain. They also couldnt get anywhere near the price that I ended up paying. Just my :twocents: And for a half ton i love my tundra crewmax, tons of room, only down side is the short box.
I have tried Costco twice. Not interested in trying them a third time. When we need a new F150 I suspect we will be trading with Kelleher again.

It's if you know how to play the game.
Test drive everything, take up a serious amount of each salesman(woman)s time
Walk away.
Hit multiple dealerships.
Play them against each other.
Bring cash, unless they offer 0 down, 0 interest.
Walk away again.
Shop online, print results.
Play that against all the salesman you are working with.
Be very critical of condition if used, even slightly used.
Get an independent mechanical inspection.
Ask for extras, no charge, and extra warranty.
If not walk away.
Sooner or later you'll get a good deal,
Or at least you'll have fun driving 15-20 new trucks and making a few ratsh** salesmans life miserable for a couple weeks.
I got my '14 Duramax 3500SLT new for 38k after 3 weeks of playing the game,
Got this advice from a friend who was the sales manager at Seaview in Lynnwood.

But they did have my license plates for a long time, long enough I couldn't drive my truck for 10 days as my temps expired. They also sent the wrong plates once.
Took 4 hours to get my truck after signing paperwork, they had to fuel it and put some glue on a small spot of body trim.
If you do end up there, Robert cann was a pretty easy salesman to work with, I'd deal with him again in a heartbeat.

I do like the Tundra but the lack of bed space is a deal killer. I am a Costco member so I will look into using them.

We have a 2011 F150 Lariat eco boost and love it. Tows like a champ and near 22 mpg empty on the highway if I am not in a hurry

Evergreen was a pretty frustrating dealership to work with for me. Nothing but problems with the truck I bought, it was used, so can't blame em fully for that.

We have a Max Tow Ecoboost, it is rated north of 12K towing capacity. It was not all that easy to find a dealer that had a F150 Lariat w/max tow in stock. They are easy to recognize, Super Duty mirrors. You just don't see a lot of them.
The only place I have ever had to back off was on Loup Loup in August w/our Polaris Ranger inside the toy hauler with all the rest of our crap. It has a bunch of big radiators up front to cool God only knows what. They do a good job of it too.
