Who is buying all the trucks?
Posted on 11/11/25 at 5:24 pm

Been passively looking for a truck, taking my time and being specific. Looking for a GMC 2500 AT4 package, diesel, which limits the search to 2020 or newer.
Every time one hits the market that meets my criteria it is gone that day. Used trucks from 55-70k gone in a flash.
I thought inflation was killing everyone?

You are being extremely specific and wondering why there aren't any deals.
Expand to just a make/model. GMC packages different trim levels so they can bucket the market and keep it segmented to their advantage. You don't have to do that, and you shouldn't. Don't play their game. Be flexible or you will get hosed.
Do you really need a diesel? Be honest with yourself - if not then that's an easy one to avoid because the gas engines are quite reliable and much cheaper to buy and maintain. Far fewer emissions related expenses to deal with. Expanding your search to gas engines would increase the available options on the used market and make it easier to find one.
Can you avoid the AT4 package altogether? These trucks are all very heavy and none are that good off road in this size/weight class. They almost all have locking diffs and a lot of ground clearance though, and you can put different tires on if you need (on any trim level). There's very little that an AT4 3/4 ton truck can do that a regular one couldn't. Look for an SLE or SLT grade trim.
What about the GMC is so important? Chevrolet is nearly identical and expanding to include those models would probably double your options in any given locality.
Buy what's on sale if you must have a new(er) truck right now. In my area, that's the Ram 1500, Ford F-150, and only some trim levels at that. Nothing wrong with them. They are just the trim levels where they overstocked. Both of those trucks can make easy work of even 4+ ton trailers. Both ride better than a 3/4 ton truck too.

Modern Louisiana - living in a $60k trailer but driving a $90k truck with $1200 note. This is the way.

If you’re in the PMC or get your income from capital you’re doing pretty good. It’s the people that are in the working class that are hurting, and they don’t impact demand because they were never buying new trucks to begin with.

If what he wants is a somewhat rare and highly specific make/model/trim level/engine combination - maybe don't complain that he can't just walk to any used car lot and find dozens of them at significant discounts.

Exactly. I know I'm being picky and it's what I want. I'm not here to talk about well maybe you don't need a diesel, or do you need AT4.
I like the look of the AT4. I want diesel. I have a 1500, I don't want another one.
I do like the Chevy z71 sport package but those are gone quick too.

But what kind of thread would "I found a good deal on a popular vehicle" make?

That's really not that specific. AT4 is an common package, it's basically just the z71. I'm not asking for some certain vehicle with certain features and a certain color.
This is far from what I would consider extremely specific.

Roll all that up in the new 50 year mortgage and that $1200.00 turns to $600.00

I gotta agree with you here.
Go drive through a plant parking lot and look at the vehicles.
