2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 6.2 — need advice: Used truck versus new compact pickup

TrailPilotCommunity StarterJul 9, 20262021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 6.2Charlotte
Same money buys an older full-size truck with capability I may never use or a newer compact truck with better fuel economy and warranty. Anyone make this switch and regret the smaller truck? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Call your insurer in Charlotte before you fall in love with the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. If they balk, that's your answer. On “need advice: used truck versus new compact,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Stop there until you know. I screenshotted the quote for later.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If one piece looks too good on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Then the comparison gets honest. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.
