GCK Thanks this.

If you're interested in pre DEF, just buy a domestic 09 model and you're right there.

If you're going with a glider solely to bypass DEF, then you should be aware of this:
Effective 1/1/18, the EPA has mandated that trucks must pass the emissions standard in effect for the model year of the chassis, not the engine. That means that a 2019 truck with a 2009 engine in it still has to conform to the 2019 standards.
I haven't heard if the trucks built before that date will be grandfathered in; they likely will be. If not, your new truck may need to have all that emissions stuff added to it, which may mean a new engine.
Even if they are grandfathered, you should get your order in soon. -

Who buys a truck and worries about resale?dunchues Thanks this. -
rabbiporkchop Thanks this.

Then why buy a glider? @iRookie claims gliders don't retain resale value but that link from 2014 says different.
