Well, I made a purchase in the past 2 weeks but you guys won't be happy.
Could not come to terms on a reasonably equipped Laramie EcoDiesel anywhere near me so I bought a Chevrolet instead: 2020 Silverado 1500 RST Z71 with the 3.0 inline 6-cylinder diesel. Traded in both my 2010 Toyota Tundra and my 2018 Subaru Forester and received good values for both.
Compared to the local Ram dealers, this Chevrolet store was much easier to deal with and very transparent in its pricing and negotiating. I should have bought a Laramie EcoDiesel in May but I got cold feet and by the time I decided to get serious the market had turned and inventory was even more scarce. I was trying to buy
this Laramie but we were stuck at $3000 apart and I wasn't willing to budge.
The Silverado interior is light years behind the Ram but the new diesel powertrain, with the 10-speed automatic, seems more refined than the EcoDiesel. Time will tell, in the end it is still just a truck.
