2018 OR DCSB —> 2022 OR AC. Am I crazy???

Inferno Gang! Dealer offered me $42k for my $37k with my add on. I didn’t take it, cuz a new OR is $55k out the door, and that’s central CA. Hitting 50k milestone…

 

Nah man! Fly out and road trip it back! I bought mine in IL and death marched it back to CA. Fun multi-day trip, saw some awesome scenery and immediately put 2,400 miles on my brand new truck. No regrets, awesome experience.

Totally understand my definition of “fun” is different from most on a lot of things so this probably isn’t for everyone haha.

 

I’ve been checking inventory, why are all the ORs coming with chrome bumpers? Is it an option or package that comes that way?

 

Chrome bumpers are for those without “Tech Package”

 

Easily painted black or swapped out. Mine are color matched but I totally woulda did either of the above if I got chrome

 

ac has more benefits if you rarely need to take more than one passenger. lighter, faster, better on gas, tows better, a bed thats actually useful, just plain looks better (although your 2018 is one of best colours ever put on a truck). 2022 also has better infotainment which i havent seen mentioned yet.

 

Your list resonates with my internal desires. For $5k, I’d probably do it. Perhaps I could get $1k for my Gobi and $750 for my sliders. I’d probably replace sliders with simple rails. That would go a ways towards that price difference. Everything else would be pulled off and reinstalled.

But the AC inventory is super weak out there. AC OffRoad manual even weaker. While I would really like a manual, I might stick with an automatic.

Still on the fence with only one leg up.

 

Not by a damn sight.
Double it, and we'll be in the ball park.

 

as far as i know the ac offroad manual doesn't exist in the us. its a Canadian option only. one that im taking advantage of. you guys get the ac sport manual.

 

I’ve seen the sport, but not the OffRoad in an AC manual. It was a want I probably would have passed on for convenience anyways.

 

Sounds like if an American wanted one, you could travel to Canada and buy one and take it back then? Unsure if there’s import restrictions but if I wanted one bad enough, that’s what I’d do

 

id rather have the sport and add my own locking diff that isnt restricted to 4low. scooped hoods are super easy to trade too.
