Buying a leftover 2019 Chevy or GMC 3500

Kicking the idea of this fall or winter after the new style 2020 HD's come out of picking up a leftover 2019 Chevy or GMC 3500 SRW HD Duramax.


I'm on my second Duramax/Allison (2013) and they have been good to me and I still like the looks of the current GM offerings. Ford and Ram are good as well but don't have the appeal to me as much for various reason even though they are all good offerings.

I was planning on and may still end up waiting another three years or so before purchasing a new truck BUT because of the following:

- I won't buy the 2020 generation GM HD trucks.

- I have a concern that maybe I am over thinking and that is the CP4 fuel pump that I have in my current truck and the new Fords and 2019 Rams have. The Chevy/GMC do not currently.

- I generally like to buy new because I can get into a new truck (diesel) for close to or slightly more than a 1-2 year old used one, why buy used if it's nearly the same plus a full warranty. At least that was my experience the last time.

My current truck I purchased for 11K below the sticker price and hopefully can do the same or better now that a new generation is coming out.

Then again maybe with the looks of the upcoming ones it will drive up the demand for the leftovers ;)

Thoughts??

You asked for thoughts. What is wrong with the truck you got? Why must you replace it this year or in 3?

Nothing wrong with current truck, great shape and gets the job done. Though there are some nice changes with the '20's I'm not crazy about them overall. Just thinking there may be a deal to be had on leftover 19's not only being end of year but an "old" generation that may be worth the jump. If I can't score a nice deal that's worth it I'll wait a few years for the bugs to be worked out and bypass the Chevy and consider the GMC that's all.
