So money wise though, you are going to take a $30k+ hit after 3 years to upgrade to a slightly refreshed truck with the same powertrain?

Ya when you say it like that.... but at some point it will be even more money......right.....

I mean yeah but the depreciation curve will flatten as time goes on, makes it more palatable especially if the upgrade is a new generation that isn’t using a sync system with circa 2014 hardware.

It’s not like your truck is out of warranty.

Thank you - this is one of the reasons I am asking you guys....

I wouldn’t trade my 22 for a new one simply because of the torsen front axle.

With a paid off 21 and really not any actual differences worth a solid amount of money....just wait for the gen 4. You did well, paid off the truck...keep relishing in zero truck payments. Until the 90K base gen 4 comes out lol

You get screwed on the warranty end because it was/is prorated from the original purchase/in-service date. If you cancel it now it is like 50% used up. I would ride the current one out knowing very little costs. Buy raptor takeoff wheels/tires you really like and consider that your mid-model upgrade. Save some more coin and pull trigger on 2026 or 2027.

Hud is cool but I didn't see it being worth buying a 24 over a 23.

I would hold out for a gen 4

Well I texted them and told them I’m good and keeping my 21. About 20 mins later salesman calls and asks what he can do to get this sale in at end of month. He came back at $34k out the door. I said my budget was $30k and I give him my truck. Said give him a few. Few minutes later he called me on speaker with GM. They say $32k. I said no, I am firm at $30k. GM says its end of month, and want to sell it and get mine. Asked if I’d do all my service there, I said of course. Met me at $30k! I took it. They came down $7k and change. I was like WTF. Couldn’t pass it up!
