Where did you buy your truck from? Previously, I've bought vehicles from the factory, new off the lot, privately, and used from a car dealer.
This time around, I bought a used 2017 from Enterprise Car Rental. They have a very quick inventory turnover, good reviews, and they had what I wanted, for a lot less than a brand new truck.

Burbank, CA Chevy dealer of all places. It was someone's trade-in, a single owner, garage kept and mint condition. I was searching for a couple months when I saw it. I saved a boatload of $$ buying used and have been blessed with its reliability, performance and value.

New from local Dodge/Ram dealer 3 miles from my house. Never bought anything local. First time it’s worked out. I’ve always bought new, never wanted to take a chance with used. And if you know how to deal there’s no need to worry about overpaying.

Bought mine used from a minivan only dealer. It must've been some guy that had to trade his truck in for a mini van...

Got mine from my local dealer just a few miles away.

I think the CTD is the 5th vehicle I've bought from them and I've brought in 7 or 8 family or friends in who've purchased from the same dealer.

When the fleet specialist sees me coming with someone in tow he usually starts rubbing his hands together briskly while muttering, "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!"

Mine was a secondary bank repo. It was pretty clean needed tires and was good to go.

Bought mine from a dealer in Quakertown PA area. One of the few local ones that actually stocked more than a few Cummins Tradesman models I was in the market for. I was on the razors edge of flying out to Idaho to do a Dennis Dillion deal but I gave the dealer near me the opportunity to see if they would be competitive and they were. While the out the door price was more than a Dennis Dillion deal, they came well below when all expenses were factored in for my travel cost to go to Idaho and come back.

I bought mine ... from a Subaru dealership.

I know, weird, right? Well, the Portland Metro area (Oregon) has a lot of those (go figure), and...

* The dealership had no idea at all what they had. I paid way, way less than the same age and configuration of Ram (and same mileage - 20k plus or minus 2,000 miles) was being sold for throughout the area (the next highest price was $26k, some were priced up to $32k, but I paid $23.3k for mine.)

* They bought it at auction from a rental company (Enterprise). If you want an actual SLT nowadays (2017 on), that's how you get one, because they only sell the SLT trim to fleet purchasers now. Also, most rental companies (not all, but the big boys) do regular maintenance, replace anything (esp. cosmetic) that even thinks of looking worn or used, and they generally take better care of their trucks (and to factory spec) than most individuals do for theirs.

I got mine at Rick Hendrick CDJR in Charleston, SC. It was a brand new left over. They had about 7 identical 2017 tradesmans at the time only 2 of then had Uconnect 3.0 built in so I got one of them. They had them marked $10,000 off sticker so I couldn't pass that up.

Carvana. Was a bit different but ended up with a 16 Laramie at a great price. Truck came from Dallas to my front door in Georgia. Had it inspected by my local mechanic and they said it was in amazing shape except for the **** stock tires.

Carvana has a 7 day return policy. On day 6, I told them to come pick up the truck because I didnt feel like replacing the tires on a truck I just bought. They chose to put some Bridgestones on there for me as well as pay for a complete detail (I found some dog hair as well).

Worked out for me but your mileage may vary.
