Question: Used truck versus new compact pickup

MileageNomadCommunity StarterJul 30, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorSacramento

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?

If I were shopping this, if one piece looks too good on the 2024 Polestar 2, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision. That's the whole play. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Doc fee is the line I'm watching.
