Would hope they work a good deal with a 2 model year old truck, If were too trade back in

The day I got the call from the dealer I bought it from, I had just finished test driving a used 2018 with 6000 miles. They were not budging off of $23500. I don't know what its in service date was, but I know my in service date in my new 2018 started last Saturday. So my new "2 model year old truck" has the full basic warranty. That was important to me.

I will say this, I'm really impressed with the 2.7. It's way quicker than I ever would have imagined for a "basic truck". I have a few minor little things I'm planning for it, but will keep it mostly stock.

Thanks for all the kind word everybody.

This is spot on, you would have paid more for a low mileage used 18 with 12+ months of warranty gone than your new leftover.
I have bought several new leftovers for less than what I could have bought a used one for, it's like the late model used buyer never bothers to check and see
what it would cost to get into a new one, I think a lot of it is a perception thing.
People looking for a deal just assume used is cheaper.

During the great recession, when GM was selling well equipped, new trucks for 22k or so, I thought I could get a real steal on one a year old.
Not so, I could never find one with 5-6000 miles for any less than brand new.
( Once, I said '' I could get a brand new one for less! '' to the sales manager of a GMC dealer. I'll never forget his response, he didn't even argue, just said '' well, I'll sell you a new one then ''. )

Edit : I am speaking about the moderately priced truck market( like a reg cab for with a 33k sticker ), since Ford discounts these so much the new price of a leftover often falls
below used. I don't believe that I could find a new leftover with, say , 65k sticker for less than used ( although you never know ).
