Traded 2019 Ram for 2021 GMC Denali

Bamacommander · July 25, 2021

Just traded my 2019 Ram for a 2021 Denali with the 6.2. Both are nice trucks. Got a great deal on the trade and an even better deal on the Denali. I think the Ram had a better interior lay out and rode better. The Denali looks like a real truck and has much more technology. Having to get used to where everything is. The Denali has a build date of July 2021, so it’s really fresh. Looking forward to driving the new truck.

I also traded a 2019 Ram 2wd Laramie with 26,000 miles. I was offered 45k for the Ram. That is sticker price 3 years ago. I had to pay MSRP for my AT4 minus $3800.

Congrats and welcome to the club! Would have loved the Denali, but was a little too pricey for me at the time.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took at the dealership of my brand new, fresh out of the wrapper , Denali. The color is Hunter Metallic .

I too traded my 19 Ram 1500 sport in for my AT4 and dont regret my decision one bit. What i do regret is wastinf money on thst Ram. I had a 2016 Ram with air ride suspension that kept shitting the bed every winter. So i traded it in for the 2019,ram which does look amazing but was the biggest piece of ****** ever. Spent more time at the dealership then on the road. Finally said **** it and made the jump. Love my AT4, doesnt look as nice imo but performs better and has better features. You will love the Denali.

Ugh my favorite color! I wish I could find one in my state! I settled for the tricoat white frost which I’ve come to love as well. Congrats!

I really don’t think there is a bad color , they all look good to me. The selection and availability is almost nonexistent . The dealership where I bought my truck , have deposits on each vehicle. As soon as they are unloaded they are gone. I was on a waiting list, and I happened to call the manager and he told me that he just got off the phone with someone in Texas who decided he didn’t want the truck and he said I could buy it , but I had to jump on it right then. So I gave him a deposit and got the truck.

I also traded a '19 RAM Classic Bighorn 4x4. The only reason I traded it was the insane trade in value they gave me. I made over $7,000 from what I paid for it even after almost two years of use. Couldn't refuse it.

It was a great truck with absolutely no issues but it was a gas guzzler.

I now have a '21 AT4 Duramax and I love it. Drives smooth and great gas mileage. The Satin Steel Metallic color is beautiful. The only hiccup so far is one incident on "crank no start" at 123 miles. Fired up immediately after the second try.

So far the only mods are running boards and Gator soft rollup tonneau cover.

Next I will upgrade the audio system. Will start with the speakers first.

Beautiful Denali by the way!

I traded in my 2019 Ram off-road package as well on my Z71. Happy so far.

My Ram was flawless, it was a very nice truck. It was a Bighorn and was somewhat loaded up. It had 45,000 miles and that’s about the time I trade. The Denali had more features and was a nice upgrade from the Ram. These days, everyone builds a good truck, but none of them are perfect. There were things from my Ram and my prior F150’s that I liked and didn’t like. The same holds true for the Denali, it just happens to be the truck I have now so as far as I’m concerned it’s better then the others, at least for now.
