Shopping for a 2019 Ram, Ranger or Silverado This Weekend? We Can Help
CARS.COM — In the wake of a Detroit auto show that went hard on news of new pickup trucks, could 2018 be the year you finally buy one? As a trio of all-new pickups — the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2019 Ford Ranger and 2019 Ram 1500 — slowly start to make their way to dealer lots, 2018 models already there are going to have to move. That means all kinds of incentives to keep an eye out for, so even though January and February traditionally aren’t big months for discounts, now isn’t a bad time to be looking if a pickup is in your future.
