It's actually a 2500, not a 1500. But it's only $8k.

Depending on year and mileage, you may find yourself liking it. I got a used Silverado a few years ago, basic work model, regular cab. The only thing I really miss on it is cruise control, but even my wife likes having the beast around.

Wife traded in her GLC 350 for a GLS 450. We didn’t notice any markup in price. Trade in was pretty fair too.

I think he said 2011 with 120k miles on it.
He said if he lists it on Facebook Marketplace he's going to ask $12k but probably willing to go to $11k. It was an AEP (his employer) truck he got on auction and fixed some issue on. He's basically got $8k in it after buying it and repairing it.
The MPG is rough, apparently.

Are you towing anything of significant weight? If not, hard pass.

No, which is why I'm not in love with it.

Regular cab trucks (aside from work/utility purposes) are also less than ideal. I had one for a few years, hated it.

My wife used to harp on me that my last truck was regular cab and "where do we put the kids" etc. I would reply with "well, if we have more than 2 people going we take your car".
Now I see the error in my ways, my Raptor next year will definitely be a SuperCrew, 4 full size doors.

Yes, another thing I don't like about it.
But I'm looking at 2x the price, at least, for anything decent.

Just my opinion, but if you have that budget and want something “off-road ready” out of the gate, I would go Bronco. But truck vs. SUV. Depends on your use case.
I do love Raptors though, I see a lot of them in CO.

My wife wants one of the new Bronco's for her next car (3-5 years down the road depending how long her car lasts).
I really have loved the look of the Raptor since it was first introduced in 2010. I never had the budget for one though.
With 2 of 3 kids now out of the house (well, 1 out and the 2nd out by end of this year going to Marines) and paying off a lot of our other monthly payments/debts (between last week and October will have paid off $1100 in payments of stuff) I will finally have the budget for one. But I don't want to get it without a decent down payment to lower the monthly some.
Crazy thing is, even with $15,000 or so down by the time I get it in March, the monthly payment will be more than my house even including the taxes and insurance for the house.

Only bad thing about a Bronco right now is having to overpay so much for it. Hopefully in a couple years when you’re ready to buy one they’re not going for $15k over MSRP like right now.

I'm hoping the same for my Raptor next year, they are overpriced as it is.
Other than price I have heard nothing but good things about the new Bronco's. My wife wants one of the "Sport" models.

I've seen a few Bronco's driving around. I dig 'em.

The Bronco Sport is a rebadged Escape, they look decent though. I doubt they have crazy markups.
Regular Bronco, Badlands trim is the shit. Probably 70k lol

I think you can get the sports pretty decently priced. The big broncos are all over priced.
