Used truck versus new compact pickup

JDMRoadieCommunity StarterOct 9, 20252023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LimitedPhoenix

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? Any data points from owners would help. What am I missing?

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Ask for out-the-door on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. Do that before you talk monthly again. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. If one piece looks too good on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Most roads are plowed quickly, but there are cold wet days, slush and a handful of serious storms. For a daily driver, where is the line where dedicated winters become worth storing?
