Buy what you can afford and want. The Silverado 2020 is huge compared to the 2012.
What irritates me when looking at trucks for sale is when the ad just says "Silverado". Most of the time it seems they don't say if it is a 1/2 tone, 3/4 or 1 ton. And getting rid of emissions is practical for places like where I live where there are no smog tests but folks living in places where there are run into testing issues. It is wise to check this before buying and consider when you sell, this may be an issue for a prospective buyer.
