Congrats! When they say the resale is bad for one that is based on a percentage of MSRP. So if they have $1500 or $2000 rebates that is like $6000 rebate on a new 4x4 pickup. Then even if the resale bad compared to the pickup look at the actual dollar number of the depreciation not the percent. Like you said a used one would have only saved you $1-2k and no long warranty. Guy who buys a high resale car or truck for $35k loses thousands more then you do and even more when you factor operating costs.
