Replying to: hpspringer (Apr 17, 2008 6:28 pm) The dodge ram 1500 msrp 38000 regularly sells for 12000+ off. (a mediocre deal considering its hi msrp and 07 used wholesale ) and can be had for more off. It has a lifetime powertrain warranty. Some think the chevy's styling is better though. --jjf Currently driving a 2003 Ram 1500 with towing option and towing the max at 8500 pounds. With 100k miles and moving to a slightly larger towing load, I just started looking. Today at a Dodge/Chevy (small southern town) I came across this: 2007 (new) Silverado 2500HD 2WD (that's all I need since I am 100% highway) LWB with: -5 year/100k Drive Train warranty -2LT and Power Option package -4 door Crew Cab -OSRV Mirrows -6 speed Allison Automatic 4.10 Rear end -8,1L V8 Vortec engine and a few other minor options. All this for just under 24,000 + TTL Now this seems like an excellent price to me, but not knowing the Silverado, thought I ask you kind folks opinion. Knowing there are many factors in calculating gas mileage, I am also wonder about the MPG for this engine/Transmission combo for Freeway (400-500 mile trips) without a towed vehicle. Any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated, Thanks |

Replying to: asylum575 (Apr 18, 2008 4:04 am) With the additional cost of the diesel engine and fuel, I just can't justify a diesel and thought this sounded good for towing. 13-15 conservative highway sounds GREAT. My 5.9L Dodge Ram gets only 15-16 with passengers only highway. When I stick the trailer behind it, I get 8.2 - 9.6 mpg. Actually I just jumped to 9.6 mpg after having the truck and trailer tires purged and Nitrogen filled. Before that the best I ever got Freeway towing was 8.6. Thanks to you both for the feedback

Replying to: branhap (Apr 29, 2008 8:12 am) Does your deal include the $2000 rebate + the $2000 loyalty rebate. I hate all these rebates, It's hard to see if you got a good deal. I guess that's the point. I operate under the rule that the vehicle should discount 10% off sticker then deduct rebates.

Replying to: asylum575 (Apr 29, 2008 9:07 am) $2,000 for rebate, plus $2,000 for loyalty rebate. Although Loyalty rebate doesn't really matter as Sunday Chevy added a Conquest Rebate to the Silverado even. *shrug* With regard to discount, most of the dealers I got quotes from were in the 7 to 8% range off MSRP before rebates, with one dealership at 9.6% (but didn't like that truck as much.) For the most part. Local dealership wanted only 5% off MSRP. My main goal is to get the truck for close to invoice, then take off the rebate. For the most part, I did not find Edmunds TMV or the cars.com smart price to be very accurate. Just better to go in and ask for invoice price, and go from there! Paul |
