I think the lowest payment besides a 22 Tundra SR will be a 21 Titan SV on an 18 month lease. I can’t see this month’s numbers yet but last month for a 4x4 it was 82% RV and .00104 MF
That’s usually why I lease, because I’m not sure I want to keep the vehicle or I know in 3 years or less I’ll be looking at another one (not for any business purposes).
There is still some significant difference between lease/buys, especially in the 40k+ range.
The only vehicles I’ve purchased are PHEV/EVs to get that $7500 Fed credit.
Being gas free for a while now… it’s going to be pump shock if I go back to a full size truck… I looked at the Ford and Ram “hybrids” and not much savings… same speculation with the 22 Tundra hybrid in the spring.
Tundra sr is a redic cheap lease now but impossible to find. I’m trying to get as many as possible and I can’t even get 1
So a business that needs 2 trucks and can get them by leasing for the same price as buying 1 shouldn’t?
There’s lots of scenarios. I lease and sell so I don’t care what people do. I care about beating out the next dealers/brokers price…

I have one coming. Text me and I can try to get it for you if they didn’t sell it.
What is cheap on the SR?
Haven’t priced it yet but sales manager told me if he could get 50 we would sell them all fast. If you want a quote message me.
$460ish all in. Won’t be in until early feb so might change based on programs then

It was just 1 year ago when I got my father a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited for employee pricing (approx 17% off MSRP) so I just can’t justify and recommend anyone to get a full-size pickup other than the tundra/f150 lightning because Ram, Chevys, Ford (non-lightning) will not hold their value as well in a couple of years when the market drops. I would stick with tundra.

Big Nerd, check out this link for work trucks from Toyota, I am using my zip code and some trucks have not arrived on lots but can be ordered. this is a lease and have not seen it on any of the major sites, including Edmunds.
Thanks. No TFS special leases in SoCal, but Cody has some pretty good ones listed on his Toyota SoCal thread.
Still seems like 2022 Chevy 1500 Limited (holdover replacement until the real 2022s arrive) has the most reasonable lease and there is decent stock out there.
Tundras look good only if you can get the low/mid level at MSRP (and find any in stock).
I was thinking the Titan might be okay considering how low the lease is on the Frontier but haven’t really looked at it.

Have any examples of the Chevy Silverado leases?

This is the numbers I got from a local SoCal Chevy dealer. This was the 1500 LTD Custom that MSRP’d around $40k (dealer was not charging markup).
This market is crazy. My Tundra lease is coming to an end in May, sticker on it was $49k, no money down, only $292 all in/mo I’m close to just buying the truck out and keeping it. I couldn’t justify a $500/mo lease payment on a stripped down truck.
What engine? 2.7 seems to be good with leases but 5.3 have been almost impossible to find without markup here in Midwest
Yeah, that’s the 2.7.
I started looking at Ram 1500s and it looks like the light hybrid engine has some pretty good pricing and availability.
$538
$2K upfront
36/10
Best I have found so far from one of our brokers is this one, but still more than I am really looking to do for a lease. I’m close to selling my Tundra and just buying.
So it looks like I may go with a 4x2 Silverado Diesel.
Since I drive an EV, it’s tough for me to go back to an ICE and especially a big truck. I’ve looked Into the hybrids and there is no F-150 available. The Ram 1500 light hybrids are around but most are mid $55k and the Big Horn trim isn’t as good as the LT trim on the Chevy in my opinion. And the hybrids still use gas whereas with a diesel, I can use renewable diesel which is 99% renewable fuel and much better for the vehicle and the environment.
There are a decent number of diesel 1500s in the 2022 LTD (mid year before full 2022 refresh) and still some 2021s. The current one I’m working on is a 2021 that’s MSRPs for about $49k. $1500 drive off, $580+tax, 39/10k. Cap cost is about $1500 lower because of GM incentives but the dealer add of paint protection (supposedly already done) just happens to negate that. RV is 58% and MF is 0.001 which is GM standard right now.
I don’t think it’s a good lease compared to the deals that were being offered before but I think it’s okay for the current times. I asked one of the brokers and their deals have big markups on the Chevys (which seems odd to me since almost every dealership I talked to is straight MSRP).
I did look at other diesel full size trucks but they were harder to find and more expensive than the Chevy. I also considered the Tundra but no diesel, the hybrid isn’t out yet, the 2022 doesn’t have the front bench seat anymore and inventory is limited with markups.
I can pull the trigger today but I think I’m in analysis paralysis.
