In the somewhat near future I'll be trading in my POS silverado and buying a new/new-used truck. Either Dodge, Toyota or Ford.
All I'm looking for is:
-Crew Cab
-4x4
-Bluetooth
-Leather
-Not V6(unless ecoboost)
-Not Diesel

There are like 42 Trims now for each manufacturer now. Can you tell me what is the base trim that offers the above for each manufacturer? Not looking to spend 50k on a truck.

TIA -

Dodge/Ram is the best bang for the buck. Toyota will likely hold value the best, but they are pricey. Ford is never a bad choice, but tough to get good value because the new aluminum trucks had a price increase across the lineup.

I bet you can get into a Ram Big Horn with all of your options, maybe a couple of extras, for at or under $40k

I spent some time yesterday pricing trucks with my company discount. I priced midsize trucks with mid level packages, because fullsize truck prices are crazy to me.
The following are 4x4 crew cabs: tacoma is 30k, gmc or chevy is 34k, frontiers are 28k.
I have not been able to find any deals on used trucks up here, but I am only internet shopping and have not been to a dealership.
I am going to ride my Ridgline for a while longer. No car note has been really nice for the past few years.

The problem with the Toyota is the mileage. They're way behind the big 3.

Ford - you're looking at a Lariat to get all of that
Dodge - Laramie I believe is the lowest trim with leather seats
Toyota - Limited?

Any of the three with what you are looking for will cost a small fortune

If I was buying right now I'd go Ram, but I'm waiting for the F150 with the 10 spd transmission.

Pretty sure you can get leather in a Big Horn. Can also get leather trimmed seats in the Sport (that's what I have in mine - mesh inserts with leather trim/bolstering). If not, most dealers offer leather seat covers.
