Need some advice here. I know we all want different options, colors, trims etc when it comes to our trucks, but looking for some outsiders opinions from this group. Purely subjective, no right or wrong. I ordered my 402a Tremor on 6/21 pretty much loaded up ( no torsen, removed auto start/stop). My trucks in the past have never seen the off road and this one will be no different. I just feel like overall the tremor checks a lot of boxes for me in both functionality and aesthetics. Ideally If I could pick a few options from each trim level and build the perfect truck that would be ideal in a dream world, ha! Anyways, other than seeing some 2021’s on the road, yesterday was the first day I was up and close with one. Ended up stopping by my dealer and took a platinum powerboost for a spin. Immediately was super impressed by the interior. I have a 19 limited and this felt like miles above that. I enjoy technology, so that’s a given with everything that’s new this model year, but even the seats just felt so much nicer and comfortable. My gripe with the platinum though is the chrome and the wheels. I could fairly easily swap the mirror caps and door handles to body color, but new wheels would obviously add a hefty amount overall. If we had build dates on our tremors I’d probably not be feeling so impatient, but patience is not my forte. I’ve watched my 19 limited probably go from $60k on the trade in down to about $55 now. One of the main reasons I decided to do this was because of the strong trades and getting my dealer to agree to $1k under MSRP. Felt like the best of both worlds. My fear now if this drags out for us, is that trade values may continue to fall if new inventory supplies do continue to gradually get better. My impatient side says just go get a truck now, while the smart thing is probably to wait for what I ordered. Buying a $70k+ platinum and immediately having/wanting to change a few things probably isn’t the smartest either…looking for some opinions if anyone is bored enough to offer them!

If I wasn't interested the Torsen I wouldn't go with a Tremor. I would order a different trim with a max tow package, go with a level kit, and tires and maybe the FX4 . Other Trims also give more color options. As for the falling trade prices, my feeling is that we maybe able to help offset them with better incentives as the inventory improves at dealers. Until the inventory improves I don't think we will see used trade in prices fall very much. I feel Its all supply and demand on both sides. Either way as the clock keeps ticking use it to your advantage and keep budgeting for your new Truck.
