In my case, to find the Gladiator I wanted, in stock with the equipment needed, it was not a good time to trade. The trade offer was $4K under what I paid with full retail pricing for the new Gladiator. It could be the dealer, or just not the time to swap models.
My toes are in the water to trade for a diesel that is nearly identical to my current gas Gladiator. I do not have a feeling on how this will go yet, but if I end up with an oil burner, I’ll update the thread.
