Here is where I need some help. I'm stuck and struggling to make the final call on which truck. They are both Bighorns but they are pretty different.
Truck 1 is black with the sport appearance package with anti slip, LED lights, level 2 equipment group, 5.7 hemi, blind spot/cross path detection and the upgraded chrome rims.
Truck 2 is Black with the black appearance package with anti slip, LED lights, level 2 equipment group, tow package, 5.7 hemi, blind spot/cross path detection, 33 gallon tank, NAV, alpine sound, and panoramic sunroof.
There is about a $3K difference in price between truck 1 and 2. what it equates to is truck 2 is $140 more in down payment and $25 more in monthly payments. The dealer is willing to throw in a spray in bed liner and running boards on truck 1, but says I've beat them down so far on truck 2 that they can't add those on.
Here is where I am stuck.
Truck 2 looks awesome! I love the black package. I love everything about this truck except.... manual folding tow mirrors. I don't tow anything big enough that I would really need them and It's going to be a real pain to park in my garage. I told they dealer I was concerned about it and they let me take it home and test fit. It's tight. Like uncomfortably tight. With the drivers mirror closed and the passenger side open I have to get right up next to my wife's van until the passenger mirror clears the garage door then I can swing it in and provide some clearance. I worry about hitting the garage door with mirror or scraping my wife's new, very expensive Pacifica. I tried getting out and putting both mirrors in and pulling in (easy) but pulling out with both mirrors in was a little tricky as i had a harder time with spacing between the truck and the garage door not being able to see without the mirror open. I also don't really want to get out of the truck in the middle of winter to open and close the mirrors every time I go in and out of the garage( got spoiled since my current truck has power folding mirrors).
Truck 1 is easier on the wallet and easier to park in the garage. Sport appearance package is nice, but not as nice as the black package. Interior feels a little "cheaper" than the truck 2. I think the difference is in the Radio. With the NAV the screen is flush and the bezel is a shiny black. on this one without the NAV the radio is recessed a little and the bezel is more of a matte black. I hate the rims. I have no problem with Chrome rims, but I think the design is bad. I asked the dealer about switching them out, but they claim I've beaten them down so far they can't.
I think if I get truck 1 I think I'm always going to wish I had the black appearance package but I have peace of mind parking and peace of money in my wallet. I think if I get truck 2 parking in my garage is always going to be a challenge and I'll be out more money possibly wishing I'd have saved it.
I thought about holding off, and waiting for another black appearance package but I'm not sure I could strong arm the dealer into giving me the deal I'm getting now.
