I’ve been looking to buy a truck for the past few months and have been looking at used from 2016-2018 but the prices are crazy,I’ve been noticing dealerships advertising all these rebates and have crew cab 4x4’s and Z71’s for $35k and up,I’ve emailed a few but can’t get them to send me an out the door price by email,have any of you guys bought a crew cab 4x4 or Z71 lately and what kind of deal did you get?i don’t need all the bells and whistles,just 4wd and crew cab,I don’t want the custom model though,any feedback on price and dealerships to deal with would be great.

If they won't deal with you via email or text, you need to find a new dealership. That's how all this happens now. Going into the dealership to negotiate is for people who don't know any better.

Try 5 Star in Dallas TX. I got my F150 there (they have different locations representing several makes). It stickered at $48k or better and I bought it for $35,500 plus tax and title. Did it all over the internet and phone. Flew out and got an Uber to the dealership. I'd have bought local if the could have gotten within $1500. Hell, they couldn't (wouldn't?) get within $2500

I've looked off and on and it's near impossible to find a 4x4 with a regular cab or extended cab and short bed, everything has 4 doors.
I don't want a long wheel base on an off-road truck, that's just asking for trouble

As much as I love the look and maneuverability of the regular cab, I'm spoiled by four doors. I don't think I could ever have another truck without four doors.

Yep, it can also be like pulling teeth to get them to give you an "out the door" price dollar figure, even in person............all they want to do is talk "monthly payment".

99% of the time I'm the only person in my truck. If I'm going anywhere with my wife and anyone else we take my wife's suv. I've put 1500 miles on my f150 so far this year. I'm about as local as it gets. I've got 2 leases, one is 3 miles north, other one is 3 miles south. Too damn peaceful and quiet out here in the country to go anywhere I don't have to. I dealt with people all of my life, so I'm still over my quota in that regard

The last time I bought anything from a dealer, I worked out the deal using his financing.
Then after I signed the bill of sale, I wrote him a check.
He was pissed, but I got a pretty good deal.

You can't blame them. According to a friend, the number of folks who pay cash is 5% or less. Payment is really all that matters to people, and the car dealers are smart enough to know it.

Check Laura Buick GMC in Collinsville, Illinois. They sell more Buick/GMC vehicles than anyone else in the country. Looking at the pricing on their website, I see why. I've seen on other forums where people fly into the area (St Louis I think) and the dealer has someone pick them up at the airport, drive them to the dealership to sign papers, then you're on your way home...and still save thousands over buying local.

In fairness, that MSRP that your dealer has posted is fake. They'll knock $10k off, or at least 20% in my experience.

No one pays MSRP anywhere.

Cause the new chevy’s are not available in the US in a single cab V8.

I posted on here before about getting the 2019 double cab 4x4, it had conveinence group and rear locker with v8 its a work truck class. the sticker was $42k they had a sale for 32k. they agreed to 29k before tax and doc fee which was almost 2k. sounds like you may want to go with the work truck if your looking for nothing fancy, you don't have much choice of colors but to be it looks better without all the junk on it. going double cab will save you big and give you a longer bed, mine is just long enough for a 4wheeler and ramps. the new double cabs are bigger than the old style. my advice is don't buy any of the junk warrenties. I kept looking for an ad that looks too good then bargained from there.

Find out if the dealer has a fleet manager and email them. Fleet managers don't work off commissions and usually give you a good price. But they don't have time to dicker. It is usually a take or leave it offer.

I prefer the maneuverability and agility of the half ton extended cab also.

The ones made the last ten years are not as maneuverable and agile in the woods, off road terrain etc. as they were in the past.
They have them all bulked up and flared out and up which I can't stand.

That is what I did on my last truck. He was pissed off and told me I couldn't get he discounts without financing. I informed them that I never said I was financing and that if they didn't want my check I would go elsewhere. They took the check.

My understanding with GM finance is that you are obligating yourself to 2-3 months of payments, then you can payoff.

That explains it then but thats crazy and makes no sense. I'll bet the government mandated mpg bulldoodoo figures in there somewhere

I bought 2017 Chevrolet Z71 crew cab LT at Stokes 39,500. I don'tknow if I would do it again though I'm having check engine light coming on and engine running at reduced power errors right now. So far dealership can't pinpoint what it is at 56,000 miles. It is starting to piss me off I thought the damn thing was going to leave me stranded the other day with the reduced engine power BS

I just bought a 19 LT trail boss from donohoo in Fort Payne. They had 14k in rebates. 41k out the door. Has all I want on it.
